Awesome! Beautiful build of Baby. I can just hear the doors creak open and closed now. Don't forget the Holy Oil and goofer dust too, lol. I NEED to do this car someday, I hope the announced kit coming out looks this good. If not, all I got to say is "BALLS!!!" Jeff

Wish I could make it there. I would LOVE to see that many Scouts in one place. I would spend WAY too much money there also, lol. Too many family commitments. Hopefully, someone will take and post lots of pictures. Thanks for the info. Jeff

I pass by this lot every day on my way to and from work. Not sure of the name of the company as I never see a sign, but they must specialize in unusual cars and trucks. The first pics have some cool classics on. The next ones have a special load that must have come out of Texas (Texas plates on the Mustang). Jeff

Same here. I'm a HUGE fan of the show and can't believe how long this took to make. I hope it's an accurate rendition of "Baby", and not just a cobbled together effort just to get it to market. That will determine how many kits I'll buy. I have a couple of the 2 door kits I was going to kitbash, but I'll wait to see what actually makes it to the shelves first. Jeff

This is the one I want released. Not sure what model it is, but I want to do a diorama with it, lol. From the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy . Jeff

I keep coming back to this, it's so nice. Every time I look at the pics, I see something that I missed before. The figures turned out great. I agree, people are the hardest thing to model. I can never get the flesh looking right. Takes a lot of talent to get the skin looking like it's alive. Your figures just add that special touch that makes it instantly recognizable as the Beverly Hillbillies truck. Great job. Jeff

That turned out great! The color choices, the decals, even the bones all came together nicely. Reminds me of the original Grave Digger monster truck from back in the day. Good work. Jeff

Thanks for the heads up. I scored 2 IH Scout SS kits (yea, I have a thing for Scouts, lol), another Jeep Commando, and a Datsun pickup kit tonight at the local HL. Might run back tomorrow and get the 3 in 1 boat and a 65 El Camino. They did have the 66 Suburban on sale too, but I have a few of those already. I won't be too greedy and leave some for everyone else, lol?. Good hunting. Jeff

Season 6 episode 8, hey that's John Milner's coupe from American Graffiti! Cool to see it used again. And yea, as a kid I LOVED the show Emergency. Jeff

That is so sweet looking. You gave me an idea to use on my real Scout too, lol. Great work as always, I love seeing your Scout projects. Fantastic weathering too. Keep em coming, always more Scouts needed. Jeff

You could always build this. I saw it at the PA Jeeps show in York, PA last year. Jeff

Maybe they were the stunt doubles. The article below says they use 7 cars for filming, and not all are bad. I know the article is a couple of years old, but still a good read. I hope this link works, I'm amish when it comes to computers, lol. Jeff https://driving.ca/chevrolet/impala/auto-news/news/supernatural-impala-is-a-big-block-powered-demon-hunter

I hope it's a true 4 door '67 Impala, and not a reboxed 2 door or other current kit like they did to some of the other movie kits of the past (the American Graffiti kits come to mind). I'm a HUGE fan of Supernatural and have several of the 2 door kits I was going to try and hack into "baby". I also have the Green Light diecast and it isn't quite right either. Please make it a true to the tv series Impala and I'll buy multiple kits. And an opening trunk with a secret compartment would be really nice too, lol. Jeff

That came out very nice, now I'm not sure how I want to go with my Honcho kit. Really like the wheels and tires. Nice build. Jeff

Great review, now I have to buy 3 of these, one to shelve and 2 to build. Jeff

I talked to RMR at the NNL east show and he said he needed to get back to casting, he had so many other projects he was working on. Apparently, I got the last Gladiator grill he had in stock ? lol. Jeff

I used to see these advertised in Old Car Trader magazine for sale. A company made the conversions. They used an Oldsmobile Toronado ( Cadillac or similar) powerplant and trans for the front wheel drive. The rear wheels were just bogey wheels to carry the car load. Jeff

Awesome! I'll buy one just for the cool box art. And probably another to build someday. Jeff

Looks good so far. I'm still working on mine so I can't wait to see where you go with this. Maybe give me some inspiration too. Can't decide if I want to use the Gladiator front end on my build, or save it for a future build. Nice lettering on the tires. Jeff

No problem, sorry, wasn't sure if you knew about the repop. Cant wait to see where you go with this, thanks. Jeff

You're in luck. Revell reissued this kit about a year ago and is easy to find. My local Hobby Lobby has them on the shelf. If you want to replicate the Jeep Truck in your photos, the front grill and headlight panel is made in resin from RMR to back date the kit to look like the old Jeep Gladiator. I just picked one up from them at the NNL East show last Saturday. Good luck, I'll be following this project with interest. Jeff

Great pics on your album Tim. You got some I missed somehow even after 5 trips around the hall. Great show and some of the best of the best modeling on display. I felt very humbled. It's so cool to see some of the beautiful models on this forum in person. They look even better live and in person. Sorry I couldn't put a face with a user name on here though. Jeff

I saw that at Hobby Lobby too. What was unusual was that it wasn't shrink wrapped, but taped on the ends. Looked old school. Now I need one too, lol. Jeff

Saw this one at NNL East today and I have to say it looks even more impressive in person. Beautiful workmanship and a very touching story to go along with it. Sorry I didn't meet you today. Keep up the good work, Jeff

Just...jaw dropping! I don't know what else to say. I followed your build thread and couldn't wait to see the final model and it was well worth it. Outstanding build. Jeff
