That is one nice looking truck and that plow looks so real!

I think everyone has said what I was going to say but again, great job and excellent details!

Almost done and looking great! Just in time for the first snow fall, make sure you have some weight in the back of that truck!

Real, a couple of things made me vote that way, been a long time since I was wrong so I could be due! Answer revealed on Friday!

Happy Birthday Bill and here is to many more! I am right behind you (48 in December) so I know what you mean about it sneaking up on ya! Wouldn't it be nice if the LHS or Hobby Lobby would offer a discount to AARP card holders? I wouldn't mind having one in 2 years if they did! Hope today is a great day for you and you get all the plastic one could want for their birthday!

Check the back pages of MCM or SA, there are folks who will buy your collection. You might not get what you think you should but if time is of the essence, then it might be the way to go. Remember that a collection buyer has to factor in carrying costs when he makes you an offer and a lot of it has to do with the types of kits you have. Another route to go is to check and see if there are any model shows coming up in your area. You might be able to get a table and if priced right, you could sell them there and go home with cash. Of course my problem seems to be that I buy as much as I sell in those venues!

Looks very realistic there David! Those lights are near spot on replicas of the real thing. That looks like it is very close to being done and ready for the first snowfall! Hope you are successful in getting that crew cab body cast, I think it would sell!

Check with Norm Veber at Replicas and Minatures of Maryland, he should have what you are looking for.

Nice, keep em coming!

I will second these comments! His stuff is near perfect and as advertised, but he is a busy guy and it may take a few weeks or more to get your order. You will appreciate the wait and be wowed with the product.

That is coming along quite nicely. I would suggest that you consider resin casting that plow as there are members here who would probably buy one (or more!) or you may want to have one for your next project. I agree that it is a shame that no one has cast a resin crew cab in the current body style, I see many possibilities. Not sure if you are going to duplicate those plow lights but if not, Craig Hosfeld (mannyclub on this forum) casts some nice ones that I bought earlier this year. Clean castings and nice decals for the lights! Can't wait to see more of this one!

Canada- spelled "C , eh, N, eh, D, eh"!

Skip, by mentioning that you have owned four Alfas, you will receive Sainthood upon entering the pearly gates! I once worked at a dealership that sold and serviced Alfas (and Mercedes, BMW and Peugeot) and those cars were great if the temperature was above 40 degrees! I always loved those folks that bought a Spider convertible and tried to drive them in Chicago winters! They got mad when their car wouldn't start and would have to be towed in. Four plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor, an oil change and a couple of hours in a warm garage usually fixed them right up!

Looks good, shiny paint and nice detailing. The only flaw I saw was on the picture of the left front fender there looked to be a mold line that could have been sanded off, otherwise it appears that you have the skills to build nice models! Keep them coming, I would like to see more of your work!

I am not a die cast person either but that is a nice looking truck. Where does one find these, Wal Mart? Online?

For $130.00 at the Buy It Now price you would think they could toss in free shipping! Looks like a nice kit and fairly complete but I can't remember what the feedback was on Frontier Resin Designs? Any comments? (not that I have $130 to buy this!)

Yeah, the right hand drive kinda gave that away.

While I appreciate the artwork and amount of time one may spend achieving those incredible graphics, I know my limitations and am still mastering two tone paint jobs. I like the fade jobs as those seem to stay in style, depending on the model, and the intricate layout that Antonio did on those cars has been around for decades but I see things like the true fire being more of a fad. They look nice but maybe I am more old school in that I like 1 or 2 colors on a vehicle and the more graphics there are on a car, the less I seem to like it. Maybe I would feel differently if I could paint like Antonio!

Model Roundup says their's just arrived at $22.90 each and Tower Hobbies has them for $21.79 in limited quantities available. Those are my two online retailers and I am sure there are others that have this kit available, so what are you waiting for? Order one (or more) today! UPDATE: Had an email from Tower Hobbies, if you order at least $30.00, you get free shipping on the order. Use free shipping code 01A13 for the free shipping. Can't hardly beat that deal. Get some supplies and a kit and free shipping to boot!

This is going to be a nice one. It looks like you are going for the sleeper look with those wheels and I think that is better than putting 22" wheels on it! I remember someone building a replica of a 1:1 Nova here a few months back, modeled after the car known as "Suckers Bet", is that what you are shooting for?

ROADTRIP ! If only I hadn't just spent $4,300 on a new furnace and a/c unit this week......................

Gregg, Thanks for bringing that feature back to this forum and the advertising is understandable. I always wondered how you managed to do all that you have, I just figured you had a rich uncle and you were sharing his wealth! I have never used PayPal so please bear with me here. Do they take 35% out of every dollar? If so I would rather mail you a check and you can have all of my donation and not a percentage! Thanks again

Nice to see your builds again Tyrone! The details and cleanliness of them makes me jealous! Keep them coming.

Would the old '81 Chevy Citation yield some of the body lines similar to the Cutlass? Not sure unless I saw them side by side but if you can only use the roof from the Monte, you might be better off just leaving it alone.

Well, if any of you are old enough to remember the old Uniroyal commercials, there were three actors on there- Uni, Roy, & Al- that were the first I recall ever being named AFTER a tire company. So, shall we name it Uni, Roy, or Al?
