I hope when I build mine it'll turn out half as nice. I was given the unbuilt kit 30 years ago and haven't done anything with it. I like that it is the oldest kit in my stash.

What did you see on the road today?
heyjohnxx replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They do exist. No 409, just a humble 6. Not donked, or slammed. No hydraulics, no PS, no PB. Worst of all, 3 on the tree. I love it. -

Unable to get a picture, but a red Jaguar XK120 (or 140 or 150) eastbound on I-94 near Detroit. -
STEVE SCOTT ,A.KA . [ UNCERTAIN T ]
heyjohnxx replied to bpletcher55's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I understand this thing hasn't been in public for 50 years. I understand the kit is rare and brings high prices. What I don't understand why people go nuts over this fuggly thing. Definitely to each their own. I never did understand the appeal of these show rods. -

I don't understand the fuss. What is it about this thing? -
Lamborghini Countach double-build: LP400 & LP400S (Tamiya, 1/24 scale)
heyjohnxx replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Well done on all three. The LP400 I always thought was the best looking before all the add-ons. -
Safety in the 50's

A friend of mine that worked in the insurance biz called them "Donorcycles". -
What would YOU like to see as a model
heyjohnxx replied to JeroenM3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Probably already mentioned, but how about the quintessential 80s cop car? Could be done as different departments or as a taxi. -

Any repop of1962 Revell Dart 4door?
heyjohnxx posted a topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I would like to do Spencer Tracy's Dart police car from It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. The original kit is far more money than I can justify. I'm looking if anyone does one in resin. -
Hello Erich! I'm from next door in Battle Creek.

Model building versus other hobbies

That was my dad. Started with Heathkit 8088 machines and hated when he could no longer use DOS. -
Model building versus other hobbies
heyjohnxx replied to Sledsel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My other main hobby is Amateur Radio. I'm looked down at by some because I don't know morse code. It's on the to do list, but I haven't sat down and forced myself to learn it. I have fun with other aspects of the hobby. Actually, at the time of this writing I'm trying to work Indonesia on 15m FT8. 73, John W8JRD -

I like that you can't even tell it's a multi-piece body! The colors just scream 50s. Great job.

May I ask what you used to strip the paint? I've got a couple of diecasts here that need repainting. -
