Welcome and looking forward to seeing your work. Not sure if you are aware, but there is a model car show in January in Spartanburg SC. Hosted by SCMA, it is a really nice show and if you are able to attend, I highly suggest you do. There is a swap meet in Salisbury NC in mid February that is a great place to pick up kits too. Later in August there is a great show in Clemmons NC.

If you are on FB (I know not everyone is so please hold your comments) then you would see many of the aftermarket companies were doing BF/CM specials. Not sure if MCM would allow them to advertise here but might be a consideration for next year given how this is the target audience.

In case you weren't aware, Paul at ST Supply has taken over the product line formerly known at Scenes Unlimited. I had been a customer of SU and got to know Danny (the former owner) and was obviously sad when he sold the business. He assured me that Paul was going to do the SU line justice and carry on the path Danny set for it. I recently placed my first order for some stuff since Paul took over and just received it the other day. Danny was right, the products are still top quality and the service was great, especially considering he ships from Canada. I need to look through my kits and see what else is needed, I will be ordering again! Buy with confidence.

I have too many 69 Camaros from Revell, both in snap and glue form, to count. Half of the built models in my display case are 69 Camaros, with the Revell 63 Corvette snappers in a close second. I also have accumulated a bunch of MPC Jeep CJ-5 kits and the 84 GMC Deserter kits. The Deserter kits will be donors for some other kit conversions.

Check with any of the online retailers, they may swing you a deal if you buy multiples. All you can do is ask!

Thanks for sharing, looks like this fat kid is going to have to start saving his lunch money for all of the cool stuff coming! Mopar fans should be happy!

Nice start! IIRC, back when those came out the way most people lifted them was with taller coil springs in the front and lift blocks under the rear leaf springs. Fireball has a kit for the Revell first gen Bronco, I will have to check to see if it would work on this MPC kit.

The Round2 FB page had the November video posted today. Very light on product releases, only two model kits with one of them being the MPC Dodge Charger kit from the 80's and the other was a figure if I remember correctly. Likely won't see much until next year.

Been saving my lunch money for this show all summer long, looking forward to the new venue and expanded show! Got my early bird pass and hotel room so all that is left is to get to Cartersville!

They do so well Revell is bringing one out next year too. Not sure what the differences are between the two but I am sure there will be a lot of happy modelers.

I see a 68 Firebird or two in my future and probably a couple of those Blazers. If that F-350 doesn't have the plastic tires then I am in for one or two. The '79 Camaro having new parts makes me wonder if it is just a re-hash of the old kit with the T-Tops? Between Moebius, the Dodge Warlock and this news, going to be an expensive year for me !

Yep, that Warlock will sell well, been a long time since we have had a 4wd Dodge pickup to build.

Modelroundup announced this kit and the '63 F-100 Camper kit are available for pre-order with a November delivery estimate.

That looks awesome Chuck, nicely detailed and love the two tone paint job!

That is way cool! Talk about hot rod history, those are some of my favorite cars from my youth!

Rust-Oleum tends to go on thick and therefore is not ideal for model building. There are many alternatives that will yield a quality paint job without the long drying times of enamel, lots of posts on this forum to read through. What works for one person might not work for the other.

The trailer is a bit wider than the Revell and AMT trailers to fit the wider stance of Wes's modified kits.

I have seen several posts on Facebook that Steve Magnante is experiencing some serious health issues and is in the hospital. Prayers that he is able to recover, he is a huge presence in our hobby and the car community and would be missed should he not be able to beat this illness.

Nice truck! Surprised they never offered the Lightning in a step side configuration.

Cool stuff, I need to build more before I buy more!

Check out Dave Parsley on FB, he makes all kinds of unique stuff, he might have that.

My wallet is safe this month.

As far as I know, they are shut down.

27 years? I'd say you got your money's worth and $1300 is cheap for a replacement

Need to keep an eye on the news, rumblings going on that the UAW and the automakers are going to have a stare down over the new contract and the UAW is threatening a strike. Lot's of money at stake, much like the UPS deal and any work stoppage will delay your order.
