Well, that pretty much explains it for me! As long as they disclose what they have in store for us, does it matter if they are in Cleveland or not?

That was an AMT kit, so if you want to truly replicate the team, the parts/kits are there to do it. The recently re-issued Dirty Donny Van would be the right van, a '72 Chevelle would be the right car, and the trailer should still be available in a couple of different kits. While it would be way cool to have that kit available again, I don't think Round2 will be doing it anytime soon.

Like model car building, as the builder YOU can do whatever you want, to suit your tastes. That said, would I tub out an original 69 Z-28 and drop in a 572 big block and auto trans? No, I would search out a plain 69 Camaro and slap some Z-28 emblems on it and save a few bucks in the process. But that doesn't mean my neighbor wouldn't !

Don't let Donn Yost see those, he will have to create another DVD for me to buy! Thanks for sharing them, they look killer and would be perfect for a custom paint job.

Looks good, what are you using for wheels? Should be nice when it is done!

I think Harry has worked this one over, something about it says model to me. It has been awhile since I got this wrong, my streak could be over.

Thanks for sharing that Daniel, although I think there could have been some communication from Albert sooner, we will have to wait and see how it plays out.

Only seeing the red x. I'm guessing it is a real red x!

Ditto. There is a similar cab available in resin on eBay, the late model bed is yet to be seen.

Not to add to the misery but it sounds like some of the problem is your brother. Hopefully he chooses better friends and he gets help for whatever motivates him to steal from you.

Yes, they have gone up but with the 40% coupon, a $25 kit is only $15, not too bad a deal. Remember if you have a smartphone, you don't need to have the printed coupon with you, just use the browser on your phone and you are set.

Very nice! I love the stealth look about it!

Mailman dropped off a box last night, it was the '60 Chebby pickup I got in a trade for a '64 Fairlane.

Two lessons learned here: 1. When a hobby becomes a job, it can take the fun out of it. 2. When you see something in resin, get it while you can because the source can dry up without notice. Shucky, I commend you for realizing that resin casting was consuming your time and you had to prioritize things. While some might not understand that, I do and know that some things are more important than others. Best of luck!

That sucks and I hope they find the culprits! There was another "member" here who supposedly went through the same thing a month ago. I put member in quotes as he was in the middle of a bunch of trades with about 6-8 members here when his house was broken into. Funny thing is he got all of his stuff from us and he was never heard from again and we were left empty handed.

Thanks for the list Casey, that was very considerate of you to list all of those names of good traders and the tip about updating the list instead of a new thread.

No argument here Harry! I look forward to the trips back just for the food, to heck with seeing family and friends! To me, a Chicago dog can only be had in Chicago, and the same can be said for a Portillo's beef sammich, Gino's East deep dish pizza, Eli's Cheesecake, the list goes on and on! Politics?, Naw, we ain't gonna talk about that! I do love the quote I saw not too long ago about Illinois' new state motto- "Illinois, where our ex-governors make our plates!"

It is an all expense paid trip, just 2 long days flying cross-country and dealing with airports and a 3 hour time zone change!

Really looking forward to this one! Nice work and I think you have a hit on your hands.

I got an email today from Kalmbach Publishing informing me I won a Tom Daniels kit in a drawing from when I renewed my magazine subscription. Not sure which one but I should have it sometime next week. This is the second time I won something from them. The last time was an airbrush ($199 at Hobby Lobby) for answering a survey. I better buy a lottery ticket, I am feeling lucky!

Just found out that I won a contest at work and will be out of town that weekend, so once again work wipes out a chance at a show! Good news- Get to go to a race. Bad news- It is at Sonoma Raceway in California, about 2,500 miles away from home. Better news- 4 days off of work!

Mark, Check out Tower Hobbies or Plastic-Models.com (same company) as they have a deal with free shipping if the order is over $25. I just picked up the AMT Phantom Van and Revell 77 GMC Pickup for less that $40 delivered to my door. Yes, I could have gone to Hobby Lobby and got the van a couple of bucks cheaper with the 40% off coupon, but then there would have been the gas and sales tax. Online is the only place I have seen the 77 GMC pickup.

I have a great deal on a bike for your wife, if you're interested! Let me know if you are going, as I will plan accordingly if you do. I probably should try to get a table and sell some of my excess kits off.

Steve, While shopping there last week I did notice that as part of the model kit re-set, they have made room for the kits you mentioned on the shelves. When they get them will depend on when Revell ships them to the Hobby Lobby distribution center and then however long it takes the HL DC to ship to the stores.

Jim, I like your math, I will have to use it at the doctor's office next month for my physical!
