I was curled up in the fetal position in the corner waiting for the "nice men" to come and give me my meds.......

Actually Danno, the explanation was done tastefully and you were able to enlighten some of us so I thank you!

I would join you in that problem Chris!

Neil Young loves model railroading so much he bought Lionel trains as they were on the brink of bankruptcy years back. It is my understanding that he has a son who loves trains and is a special needs child so it worked out for him.

Dang Tom, sometimes it takes me a week to figure out which model to start, much less finish! I better re-read those rules Harry posted! Welcome Bill, you will have fun here and there are a bunch of guys with much to share so don't be afraid to ask questions.

Thanks for all of the history and background on these kits, I remember building many of them as a teenager and have a few of them in the stash in the garage. I never was a big fan of the front suspension because as Casey pointed out, it ain't right! The MPC kit of the '78 2WD stepside was the closest to replicating a correct suspension. If we could get a true new tool of this truck series, they could develop several tools including a medium duty cab as they aren't that much different. I do wonder how well the re-issued GMC with the snow plow has sold, I know I have done my best in helping them by purchasing/trading about 8 of them!

Hang in there Kyle, I think Al at Ma's Resin is going to have a Cummins Diesel ready soon.

No one has a resin version ready yet, but there are some in development. You can bet once they are available this place will be buzzing!

Nick, We all have lives and sometimes we get busy and are delayed in our dealings. All we ask of a businessman or his business is to communicate and that seems to have been a problem for Randy. It also appears that his website is in desperate need of an update as there are many things no longer available and people still ask about them. You have been a great help getting some people their orders filled as you live close to and deal with Randy on a regular basis and that is to be commended. I think we all understand that shipping across the border is not as easy as one would like or think and that contributes to part of the problem. Hopefully Randy finds a way to balance all of the demands life is asking of him AND continue to provide us modelers with quality resin.

The link has an error, cannot open it to view your pictures!

Had the chance to pick up a numbers matching 70 El Camino SS396 with a freshly rebuilt drivetrain in 1982 for $1,500. Gas was going up and instead I bought a brand new S-10 with a 4 cylinder Isuzu engine! Had fun with the S-10 but the 'Camino would have been much more fun!

nice job replicating your 1:1 ride! Great deal on it too!

The window section of the cab looks off, like it is chopped down and not proportioned in scale. I like the idea of something different and there definitely wasn't a lot of these on the road!

If I had the correct 6 Powerball numbers one of these would be in my garage!

Nice truck and should look great when done. Maybe it is me but for some reason that cab looks out of scale compared to the rest of truck, seems somewhat small compared to the hood and dump body.

Great job on this one Tyrone! Well detailed and very clean, like all of your other builds!

Tom Valenta talked about you, did you make it to the show?

Very nice Eric, clean and detailed!

I had the table at the far end on the right side as you walked in. You may have bought a kit or two from me or my wife, I had on a Pepsi Tshirt. Sold a bunch of kits, one guy bought 8 kits and gave away one of the boxes I hauled them in so he could carry them out to his car easier! Thinking about that July show, is it as big as the Simpsonville show? I still have some kits to get rid of, even after selling off close to 50 yesterday!

Thanks for the pictures Tom, it was great to meet you (and sell that 68 Vette model to you!) and the show was full of some really nice models!

Best of luck! Hope it goes well and you get it soon.

Had a great time at this show- met some forum members and talked with quite a few people as I sold a bunch of kits, at least 45!

I have 7 large boxes of kits I plan on selling, hopefully something you are looking for! Look for the fat old guy with a sun burned forehead!

I think the fact that you are able to stop in makes a big difference.It is easier to talk face to face with someone than making an international call to someone in the US. If he is serious about selling on the internet, he should take the time to update his website. Would love to buy some stuff from him but until I hear some positive news, I will hold off.

Clean and subtle, just perfect !
