My favorite role was as The Gent in Hell Ride. Rest In Peace Mr Madsen. Jeff

I've got a couple of rock crawers. A Redcat IH Scout II and an ebay special Bronco look alike. The Scout is mostly stock except for the light kit, winch, and aftermarket wheels/tires. The Bronco was bought because my daughters always wanted to play with my Scout and were a little heavy handed with the controller. It used to be relaxing to sit out with a good cigar and play on my pile of rocks in the backyard, but I've kind of lost interest in it and only get it out once in a while. I need to rearrange my rocks and make a different challenge for them. I know you can sink a lot of money in r/c though. Jeff

That's a good one, this will work too. Jeff

Ok....., show me. I'd take it in a heartbeat. Me an Christine would drive around without a care in the world.... Ok, I want the Scout also, but I already have one in that shape. Jeff

Great looking Honcho. Love how you handled the rollbar. Never thought about the magnets holding the hood, thanks for the tip. Everything looks just right on it. Jeff

Great looking Scout. I like the color combination and interior choices. Don't worry about the paint bubbling, that's just the IH steel already starting to rust, lol. Love Scouts, just wish they didn't rust so bad. Very nice model. Jeff

Very cool build. The tire chains are a great addition. I love how you made them. The interior details look great also. Jeff

I'm working on a project that requires 8 tractor tires all the same size. I wasn't looking forward to purchasing several tractor kits just for the tires and wheels. So after searching ebay for old toy tractors with which to rob the tires from, I came across this. A toy from China that was around $18.00. The scale listed on the box said 1:16, but a pic with the dimensions in the ad showed it looked closer to 1:25 or about. After finding a vendor in the states and not in China, I took a gamble and ordered 2. They are definitely more toy-like, but will suit my purpose perfectly. The soda can is just for size reference. They are offered in many different models as seen on the box in the second pic. But my take on these is that they are copying model kits and re-engineering them as toys. Interesting to say the least. The tractor kit really looks cool. Jeff

I always hated those fake spare tires on the back of '80's Cadillac Seville's. Although, now they take me back to a simpler time. Jeff

Actually, this is probably the largest kit box and kit, lol. 15 grand doesn't sound like a bad deal. https://thejeepsterman.com/products/jeep-in-crate-mb-1942-willys-jeep?srsltid=AfmBOoo--Usj_Vtj83dxieuqVFPxba8bf6faLfagbvzKmse99r0VHCbv Jeff

Maximum Bob. Ran from August to September of 1998 on ABC. Only 7 episodes. Starring Beau Bridges as an eccentric judge. It was hilarious and I can't imagine why it didn't survive. Always something exploding in the background. https://youtu.be/u6Vg_e0RiR8?si=GNnaWAqKRMNMD-pm Jeff

Very nice model of an unusual subject. Great job. Jeff

The caretaker/guide of our local historical society museum used to say, " not all change, is progress." I miss her, she passed away a number of years ago. Jeff

Great to hear the good news. I wish the S.S. United States could have met a similar fate. Just can't save everything I guess. Jeff

Thanks for the reminder. Just ordered it. Jeff
