    So I'm in the middle of trying to start a little small hobby shop business, i'm looking into selling some of the accessories like detail master and model car garage and so on. I'd also like to sell revell and AMT kits but I hear right now revell has a minimum order of $5000 ? Does anyone know if this is correct also if anyone can help me or guide me to somewhere I can purchase model kits in bulk cases that would be appreciative too. Please any info would be a big help in the model kits, thanks

    YUP can't wait. Wanted to let folks know that i will be selling there this year. Everything on my table will be sold to help my buddy Beto Ordonez, he is battling cancer and as of right now docs say he wont make it do to the cancer spreading so fast. I will have a sign on my table with his picture so you know who i am. Again please stop by and check out some stuff, all the proceeds will go to him and his family.

    So i got some stuff from a good buddy of mine and he passed me on this what looks like a PROMO kit but i'm not too sure cause i've searched on ebay and can't seem to find one close enough promo wise to it. Can anyone help me out here and let me know what this actually is? It's a really nice clean car, well kept.

    Well here's the best i can do, lol it's a lil fuzzy but you can hear the siren, this was before it was fully complete as i had to test the sound.

    The seats frames are metal tube Actually i added a couple different siren sounds to the mix so they do randomly play i'll see if i can up load a vid with it.

    thanks all on the replies and too gatorincebu, its funny cause i've always kinda thought the same about that style doors seemed to might get in the way of loading or unloading items from the back lol, other then you can have the rear upper door open makes for some nice wind flow, the lower still gets me.

    Hers is my 1950 chevy suburban that i just finished in time for the NNL WEST at Santa Clara. This started out as a 50 chevy resin kit, but i modified it with the amt 50 chevy truck cab for a better fitment of the hood and doors. The original piece needed alot of work in correcting the window frames, and adding new rear fenders. Also had to ad some styrene to the sides of the lower panel areas to be able to flow evenly with the lower section of the doors. I made the clam shell style rear door instead of the barn door style it came with, scratch built the following: rear single brake light attached to the tailgate, front visor, traffic view finder, compass, rear splash pan, all seats, seat frames, inner rear door panels, and couple other small items. There is a real working speaker system built in played by an ipod shuffle and yes it does still have full suspension. Well enough about it lol, and enjoy the pics

    Here is a 1950 Chevy Truck that i built as a work in progress truck/daily. I've seen a couple 1:1s like these and decided why not build one, but for some reason i think this one took longer to build then one those that i've built with full paint and gloss! Red primer with touch ups and bondo spots, custom made spare tire fender and spare tire carrier, dropped stock suspension, custom made 560 white walls, custom made from bumper cattle guard, custom made step board luggage carrier, and a bunch of other misc items.
