  1. I bought a Trumpeter 1/16 King Tiger from a hobby shop in Indiana.The suitcase-sized box weighed 19 lbs. and shipping cost $9.95. I bought a Revellogram '65 Impala SS 396 from upstate NY. The kit weighs, at the most, 14 0z. Shipping was $12.10. 'Splain that, Lucy.
  2. Beautiful, man. Superb workmanship on an excellent kit.
  3. Looks like a retailer sell sheet, not for direct sale to the general public.
  4. Read the history of Berkley Models I actually remember Berkley Models. They were still available at toy and candy stores and discount shops in the neighborhood like J.J. Newberry's, John's Bargain Store, Cheap Charlie's, George's Variety Store, Ted's Stationery, Jam's Stationery and Eddie's Junk Shop into the mid-late '60s. I had the Firebird, and let me tell you, it burned rubber using those CO2 cartridges. Disintegrated when it hit a curb; but, cool while it lasted.
  5. Follow the rules or off to the cornfield!
  6. So....... is on the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH list. Pathetic.
  7. That, and make it look more like a real Charger. It was pulled off with the new Challengers. Almost 800 HP......Perfect for crawling along at 10 MPH on the Long Island Expressway.
  8. Hmmm....HOA's are just as, if not moreso, annoying as geese. The always complain about stuff like Christmas lights on your house. So what if it is July?
  9. I snagged a mint condition Franklin Mint 1/24 '57 Eldorado Brougham last year for 29 bucks.
  10. The problem with quick searches is you'll never find what you're looking for. From ebay for $17.50: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-Authentic-Kit-1-24-Cadillac-Eldorado-Brougham-1244-Model-Kit-1996/183237837941?epid=1101612415&hash=item2aa9d38475:g:oygAAOSweoBbBIM9 Don't BMW about the $10.95 shipping. It's still cheaper than other sources. If yer slow, you blow, Chief.
  11. Doable; but, not impossible. It will take some work. Grinding out a cup and adding ball joints is required. Neither is difficult.
  12. You have the chance right now to snag the original. You'll hate yourself if you don't.
  13. Interesting article on the '57 Eldorado Brougham: THE HISTORY OF THE REVELL ’57 CADILLAC ELDORADO BROUGHAM MODEL KIT
  14. The original Renwal V-8 available on ebay. Priced at $129.99 with free shipping. Pretty good price and it's complete. Renwal The Visible V-8
  15. Ever wonder what Dad in the Renwal boxtop did after that gig was wrapped up?
  16. Another Cobra?!? Keep them coming , Ray. Michael Dudikoff and Wings Hauser were low rent versions of David Hasselhoff. If you were making a low budget action film and couldn't afford Hasselhoff, you dug into the bargain bin and pulled out one of the knock-offs.
  17. #gooseleverpateisswell
  18. I'm I agreeing with you, Tom. I can't get used to a 4 Dr Charger. Something blasphemous about that.
  19. Ya gotta go at least once, Ron. If not for the amusements, hit the boardwalk and grab some brews at Ruby's, Place to Beach or Tom's Restaurant. Plus, there's a fireworks show every Friday night. Say, did you ever hang out at Malibu's in Lido Beach when WLIR used to do the Friday night parties?
  20. Sounds like my sister's ex-husband.
  21. For a NY'er, you got a low threshold for "weird".
  22. Why isn't intimidating goose gang activity addressed by law enforcement agencies? They're already involved in racketeering, extortion and taking control of the landscaping industry. That's O.K. Their days are numbered. They'll end up in the big house sooner or later and get what's coming to them.
  23. Accept no imitations.
  24. Get yerself one of these babies and say sayonara to annoying, belligerent fowl and say hello to a roasted goose dinner.
