    I'll play along Snake. Now that I have a work area set up. Gonna finish up my '67 Bonneville first. Then if I have enough time, I'm gonna finish up my '69 Beaumont hardtop. Started it about 10 years ago, last time I worked on it was about 5.

    This is basically where it stalled out in April when the flood hit. I moved it up on a high shelf to be safe and lifted the table I was working on by putting a 5 gal. pail under each leg. Everything was high and dry, and safe, I thought. Tail light lens must have fallen out when I put the body on the high shelf. Anyway, Thanks to Steven G. I can try to finish it up. Started working on the engine tonight. Cut the heads off and reattached them straighter. Dug out all the parts I'll need to finish up the engine. First time I put glue to plastic in about 9 months. I see the green counter top won't be much good for taking pictures on. LOL

    Very nice. Up until just before Modelhaus closed shop, I couldn't afford one of thier full kits. I was doing a bit better when they closed , I tried to score one of these '61s but I was too late. AH, maybe someday I'll get lucky.

    Most likely the Blackbird. The annual is on the shelves right now as the '79. IIRC, the Blackbird mold was created in response to the overwhelming sales of the '77 "special edition" issue of the annual. To keep the Blackbird on the shelves and be able to keep updating the annual tool, another separate tool was cut.

    Cool! Makes me want to build one now too. Man, those old AMT flame decals really bring back memories .

    The MPC '73 and '74 Charger annuals had that.

    Thanks Steven, you're a lifesaver, or at least a project saver. edit, just tried PMing you, looks like your basket might be full, it wouldn't go. Said you can't receive messages. , so, anyway, I'm sure something that small could just be taped to a piece of sprue or something else hard so it doesn't get snapped in two and sent in a small bubble envelope. When I send something to the states I just have to fill out a small form asking what's in the package and what it's worth, just takes a minute. IIRC, it's about the same coming back this way. Just let me know what you need in return.

    Well, I'm kinda bummed out. Got my new work area all ready for a few hours of quality time with the Bonneville I see that I'm missing the driver's side tail light lens. I could have sworn it was firmly attached into it's opening in the bumper like the other one but?? Got this set from Modelhaus so getting another one from there is out. I'd ask if anyone on the board has a spare one but that seems like a very long shot. Guess I'm gonna have to keep an eye on the bay for someone parting one out. So until I find a replacement, I guess it's back in the box it goes.

    This was to "recreate" the last car I had built in BC right before we moved back to NB way back in 1974. The original was brush painted with Testors bottle paints in the same colors. This one turned out much better.

    Works on larger tires too.

    If you get the Pacer, I know a guy on Quadra Island that might buy it.

    Nice job on the roof. One thing though, the sedans, like the original kit was, have a higher roof than the hardtops and convertibles. If it looks "off" to you comparing it to the real car, that's why.

    This one was rebuilt from a white glue bomb with a few parts from other issues. I also have a maroon glue bomb. IIRC, the "Hot Rods" issue I had back in the mid '70s was also white.

    Thank you Michael.

    You guys are giving me a lot to think about as I plan to so something similar in the near future.

    Very cool !!

    I have a can of that Testors blue I got as a door prize at the last show I was at ,, I wonder how close it is to actual Mopar B-5 blue?
  18. Can-Con
    They're not the same. But they could be cut down.

    Might be a good idea to rethink that shelf in the last pic on page 1 there Steve. Looks like it could come down on top of those models any minute.

    Looks like you beat my by that much Snake.

    Here's a link Brad. The Drastic Plastic Model Car Club has a large archive of instruction sheets on line. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1921-1930/amt-29-model-a-ford/

    Just bringing this back up so I'll be able to find it easily. My new model area is almost ready and I want to get back on this car this weekend, or maybe sooner.
  23. Can-Con
    It's too bad they couldn't bring back the original chrome reverse wheels. They were some of the best ever done.

    Looks like something seen flying over the Nevada desert in the late '50s.
