I can see businesses offering up the ability to "print" your design like Chris describes above. I would be interested in being able to get some copies of parts I have in my stash, especially if they weren't readily available in resin or kit form.

Actually Jay, it being a museum piece, the windows could be considered "optional"

Like many technological things, if you wait long enough, the price will come down and the quality will go up. Not sure if this technology will take the place of model kits, but I see it being an alternative to resin casting for some!

A good friend of mine was posting pictures all weekend from the show and they did not disappoint. I will have to make plans to be there next year, too much to see and a computer screen doesn't do some of the cars justice.

watched this one progress in the workbench section, nice to see it done! Not sold yet on the tall stacks but I think they will grow on me.

RPP Hobby has them for $64.95, thinking about picking one up (to go with the original one I still haven't built from 10 years ago!LOL).

I have friends who usually have a car or two on display at this show and I have wanted to attend, but work usually precludes me from making the long trip back home. Hope you get some pictures to share with us Nick, looking forward to seeing some!

Thanks for sharing Sean, seeing this makes me want it more! I think Moebius and Model King will be getting some of my lunch money in 2015, and that includes the cars and trucks they are bringing out!

Nice job Chuck, glad to see some of your creations.

I started working on a few of the many WIPs that have been sitting on the bench last night. I am trying hard to finish some of them so I can have a clean bench and focus on some new projects come spring. I'd list them out but I am embarrassed by the number of them!

James, Like others, sorry this saga continues and I can't believe that he is allowed to continue to waste the court's time. Hopefully he will test the judge's patience one too many times and find out how the judicial system treats abusers of the law. Continue to take the high road and take solace in the fact that you have done nothing wrong, peace of mind is priceless. I hope that this is resolved quickly for you.

Congrats and be careful, what might look like green grass elsewhere could be well fertilized turf!

Could not have said it better Tom! As a kid in the early 70's, we played baseball in the summer, football in the fall, rode our bikes everywhere and most of us were into cars in some shape or fashion. I remember kits being in the $2-5 range, and it meant raking a lot of leaves, taking soda bottles to the store or saving up my allowance to afford them! I remember learning how a car went together as a kid from building models and asking older kids questions. My love of cars as a kid has lead to my career in the auto parts industry and I still enjoy learning about mechanical things to this day, whether it be in 1:1 or scale plastic!

Thank you veterans, past & present, for the freedom you provide us citizens.

Planning on being there, hopefully I will have a vendor's table and will be unloading some kits that I won't be building in this lifetime!

Very nice! Coming along and anxious to see this one done.

Always nice to build a tribute car and it sure helps to have it on hand for measurements. Looking forward to seeing this one done.

That is looking sweet! Nice to see something other than red or hugger orange. Where did you get the wheels?

I am with Casey, if you want to build one for yourself go ahead but the market for them might make it hard to be profitable.

Had plans to attend and then life got in the way! Hopefully next year will see me in Atlanta for this show! Thanks for sharing Tom, looks like a bunch of nice models once again.

Looking very nice and should be a great one when done. I am surprised none of the resin casters have offered the corrected short bed and /or long bed along with the corresponding chassis for this kit, especially since it is readily available at places like Hobby Lobby!

Anybody know what happened to this store? I drove by there last night and they were closed, empty shelves. I was in there a couple of months ago and it appeared that there was a new owner who was trying to revamp the store. While his prices were not competitive, he did have a nice selection of paint that was helpful to have.

This could also be a nice Haz Mat response fire unit or command unit. With Hostess making a comeback, it would also make a nice bread/snack truck too!

I don't have my RM&Co of Maryland catalog with me on the road but I know Norm has some resin hoods for Camaros and has a stock, flat one for a '69, not sure if he has one for 67/68.

Coming along nicely, great details and I am anxious to see this one done.
