Unlike the good old days, you can't violate their civil rights. You'll get arrested, get a trip to the Graybar Hotel and the skell sues you as icing on the cake.

Fireball Modelworks would be a logical AM producer for this.

Them exploding fuel tanks are difficult to replicate in small scale.

I see a Baldwin-Motion Phase III '68 Chevelle SS427 project on my workbench.......

Here, Page 3, fourteenth post down:

There was none in my comment. I was stating my personal preference. Personal preferences, and opinions are always correct and aren't stated as talking points for a debate on the merits of what these kits are. If I, or anyone else for that matter, cares to opine one way or another about a particular kit, no big deal in the larger scheme of things. These comments won't sway anyone else's decision whether or not to buy a kit.

Yeah, I know what you meano, Deano.

I build bone stock; so, these designer kustom kar kits don't do anything for me. I would love to see a straight stock '53 Eldorado in plastic and perhaps a new-tooled '57 Eldorado Brougham.

It'd be nice to see more engine compartment and data plate decals. Also, designing the kits to be more accurate in terms of replicating the construction of the actual vehicles would be a plus. I don't care about large parts counts. I'm used to that building armor. Say what you want about Trumpeter's '60 Bonnrvilles; but, their chassis are spot on replicas of the real thing.

It gets long in the tooth fast. I'm not going to beg someone to let us be privy to these closely held state secrets. If you're going to play that game, don't bother with the vague comments in the first place.

Well, at least you'll be EMP-proof wearing that dicer.

Leave that to the the guy hanging out near the betting window at the track.

Goofy guy and chick hats have a long tradition at the track. They're prevalent at Aqueduct and Belmont Park on Opening Day. Also, at the annual Easter Hat Parade in NYC.

So, elaborate. The "I know the real story but won't go into details" stuff is getting old. That's Mike Francesa's (The "Sports Pope") schtick. 99% of the time, he doesn't.

It only takes a phone call to get the skinny. I spoke with Auto World customer service just now and the gentleman informed me that they were perfoeming an update and took it down until the kinks are straightened out. No conspiracy theories involved.

That there is haute couture, which is French for something that will guarantee a permanent ban if I mention it.

Great taste or less filling?

Like Andy said, it's looking good. What were you expecting from a worn out tooling anyway?

There's always somebody announcing that the sky is falling and lamenting the end of the "hobby".The model car segment is only a small slice of the modeling pie. If you haven't paid attention lately, there are a slew of new manufacturers pumping out armor and aircraft kits at an unbelievable rate. Car modelers are pining for the next two or three releases or reissue of some long forgotten kit for the year from one company. Meanwhile, treadheads and wingnuts are treated to at least six-ten new releases every month or two. If the cheapskate car modelers were willing to pony up the simoleons for better quality, there'd probably would be more new tooling and even greater variety. But, no. It's the eternal cry of "Oh, man! They're raising the price to "X" bucks! They can't do this to us! They're gonna price themselves out of business!" So? They can. They will. They most definitely won't.

I'm making you an honorary Greenpoint Native. You fit right in. Now, I'm going to apply for dual American-Polish citizenship for myself and my son. I found out that anyone with a Polish heritage can do this.

I used to crack up whenever someone ordered an Italian sausage hero with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, extra white sauce and extra BBQ sauce from the Greek food wagons when I worked in the city. Then, with a self-satisfied grin, they'd tell the guy, "Oh, and a Diet Coke!" and glance around to make sure anyone standing near the wagon knew they were health-conscious.

A Diet Coke with belly bombers.....right. That's an exercise in futility if you're trying to avoid the extra calories. Did you have onion rings? They closed the four White Castles near me. Now, I gotta go all the way to Sunnyside.

Covering all the bases. Poifect!
