  1. She's a beauty Charles, anxious to see this for sale and get a copy for myself! How's the engine coming along?
  2. Prayers to you and your friends that the damage is minimal and that you all get through this safely.
  3. That came out great Jonathan, love the color and you nailed the look!
  4. The 67 also has a separate back up light in the body that was for that year only. The snappers do build well (as evidenced by all the posts here) and if you aren't needing a drivetrain, offer a very nice rendition that is quick to build. I have multiple convertible and hardtop versions of these snappers in my display case for that very reason!
  5. It's rare in that it probably hasn't been reissued but not surprised as Revell had a run of similar kits that were very simplistic in appearance and assembly. They had some GM trucks around that same era and the idea was a quick and easy build for beginners. I say build it if you want!
  6. Revell has partially met the challenge with their snap together F150 Raptor pickups. While they don't offer the detail of a full glue kit, there have been several examples here on the forum of nicely detailed builds and I have a couple in my stash to build. The last GM pickup Revell did was the 99 Silverado and even with a couple of different versions, I am not sure how well that sold as I remember seeing them at places like Ollie's priced at $7.99. Meng did the F350 a couple of years ago and while that has a different appeal, I was hoping that we would have seen more from them with either other makes or models. As a light truck modeler, I would love to see a modern pickup but I think we have a better chance of seeing something older (think Moebius F-100's) before we see a new tool of something newer.
  7. Did ya see if the 'Burban was among the new kits? Any existing kits have their sticker crossed out(possible discontinues)?
  8. Me too! Those colors look like they could have been factory, nice combo and much better than the ones they chose for the box art!
  9. Incredible details and scratch building skills to be envious of. This is one outstanding model and am anxious to see it done. Much to be proud of!
  10. Coming along nicely, having some paint on it means it is getting closer to being finished!
  11. very nice, great extras on that make it even sweeter!
  12. Looks awesome! Love the color and your details on the trim look perfect.
  13. Nice job, paint and decals look good. That A/C compressor looks a little big to me, hopefully it isn't as bad in person.
  14. Back in the day when they did the Make and Take classes on Saturdays, they would put the left over bagged kits in their clearance aisle for $5, and it was easy to score a couple of them no problem. I had a couple of the Revell Impala police cars and Camaro concept cars that were great for when the nephews stopped by. The only thing I have bought at a Michaels in recent years have been paint brushes- haven't found a kit there that I didn't already have or could elsewhere cheaper. I do get their weekly coupon email and one of these days I might buy a new airbrush with it but unless they revamp their kit offering, I don't see me buying any kits there.
  15. Nice job so far, like the color and the lift looks great. You are correct that the kit has been around for years, I have an original MPC version of this kit with the V-6 engine and snow plow, and it builds nicely.
  16. There's no rule that says you have to give them a valid email account.......
  17. They were all decent kits and built up nicely as I remember. As mentioned, they were also available individually and can probably be found on eBay. I might have all three of those in my stash, would have to check for sure.
  18. Nice start, like the color choices. I have a couple of those to build, haven't decided on colors yet but am thinking one might be a beater as I try my hand at weathering.
  19. Same here. Love your lifted builds Dan!
  20. Nice job Chuck, really like the stance and those wheels really make it look the part. I am not surprised that you weathered this one, your skills are outstanding.
  21. Some really nice rigs in there, lots of chrome and shiny paint! Loved the wreckers, looked like someone spends a fair amount of time polishing them at Homers!
  22. Looking awesome! Love the color and it sits just right!
  23. They look fantastic and nice color choices. They are one of my favorite cars and you have done a great job on all of them!
  24. That is one sweet CJ ! Nice job on resurrecting it from a pile of parts, love the color and the stance.
  25. Looks great, like the simpleness of it and the colors are nice. Gotta get a couple of these when I have the extra cash.
