    If that engine is included I'll buy a couple of these.

    Just made a spreadsheet because I knew I had several duplicates. Overall, a little over 60% of my total stash (52 kits at the moment) is duplicates. Of those, almost 20% is one kit, 10 copies of the Revell ' 69 Corvette (in a few variations). followed closely by 5 copies of the Revell '69 camaro (9.6%). I need a dedicated hobby room. For now the kits and supplies are stashed in my mechanical room. I have an outbuilding with a/c we use for a gym, mostly. I have thought about setting up a permanent workspace out there so I don't have to clean up kits mid-build.

    Yeah, me too. Built in once in high school, didn't realize what I had. I recently got that one, sealed, for a price I could stomach. Going to build it like I did before

    I ran out of room in this storage area. There's five more corvette kits in the garage and I have three more eBay purchases on the way lol.

    I'll post some pics when I get home, but while I worry sometimes if I'll get to the 30-40 kits I have, it makes me feel a little better when I see the number of kits some of y'all have. I can relate to the comment about the feeling from having kits from our youth. Most of my kits are stuff that I either built or wanted to build when I was a kid. Also, I assume some of y'all are like me, and have a build planned (or know which parts you bought it for) for each and every kit in the stash.

    Not intentionally. I like the Revell '69 kit, but I have several other corvette kits. I don't really like any of them newer than '72.

    5 more Revell '69 Corvette kits.

    "Rusty Old American Dream" - Pat Green Texas country song written from the perspective of a worn-out '58 T-bird
  13. JJ Deuce
    "stickshifts and safety belts" by Cake, mentions a Malibu but not a specific year. fun song with a riff similar to Hot Rod Lincoln
  14. JJ Deuce
    "Hey Little Cobra" - Rip Chords a whole bunch of the Beach Boys catalog

    old issue AMT '55 corvette, sealed Street Rods issue of the AMT '59 Corvette, yet another Revell '69 Z/28, and an AMT '66 Nova. I know my stash is much smaller than a lot of people's, but I gotta get some kits on the shelf soon ?

    great news. I never liked the split bumper cars. I had a couple of the split bumper kits, along with (very hard-earned) resin conversions for the full bumper but I sold all that some time ago.

    UPDATE: went by today and there's signs all over the store - everything is 30% off. I bought a kit, several rattle cans, and some other supplies and tools. I asked the cashier if they're closing and she said yes, they decided this week. I'm planning to go back later and buy their remaining Tamiya spray paints.

    Really digging the silver coupe with red interior. one of my favorite combos on most cars.
  19. JJ Deuce
    Great job. One of my favorite cars

    I would have guessed early 70s. I remember visiting my grandparents' house in the mid '70s and that particular kit was still in my dad's old closet.

    really nice work!

    I've never understood the fuss over swaps. If you put a coyote in a '32 just because "it's a ford," it's still a swap, and it's not as though it's more correct since it didn't exist at the time the car was built. a different engine than what it came with is still a different engine, regardless of manufacturer. Some of y'all are probably familiar with Duntov's letter to the head of Chevy R&D, laying out the idea that the SBC could, and should, be the next big thing in hot rodding. I'm not saying he advocated for Chevy power in Ford cars, but he certainly saw the potential to make it a popular hot rod powerplant. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/the-duntov-letter/

    great work! I love the silver over red combo, especially on sports cars

    neat model! Lately I've really started looking at the JDM cars. those pencils are interesting. Nice work. based on your efforts, I ordered a set a little while ago.
