Trailer 1 - Nani drives a Pick-Up Truck (Instead of the Herbie😞 Possibly a 1988-1995 Isuzu Pickup SpaceCab or a 1989-1995 Truck Xtracab, but the doorcard & dashboard don't match. I think the keyword here is “Possibly”

Windshield received. Thank you.

Hey thanks for confirming the pm. I’m kinda new to actually posting here.

I think I pm’d you rich

Anyone?

What… no one stole moms nail polish for pearl and metal ‘flake’ paint jobs?

I find I’m most interested in 60’s cars not necessarily muscle but all, American and foreign. Plus any thing from the thirties. I’ve never built anything that I’ve actually owned though.

Try model railroad handrail stanchions in HO scale for 1/25 scale.

A little church “store” where they were having a farmers market. Two dollars each and inside all still sealed!

Just picked up at a garage sale a Revell ‘69 Charger rt for 2 bucks. All contents are still sealed. Lo and behold, windshield broken in half. Anyone have a spare? Thanks.

'70 Torino just acquired before that '69 Corvair.

kinda redneck...?

Nice! I kinda like the interior shots. The colors there look aqua and cream very 50's. Rich

sad.....

wow this hindsight engineering committee sure gets surly at times.

PS: I agree. Nothing beats the forums!

WOW. What a great bunch of responses. Thank you all. I'm coming back from a long break from this hobby. I still had a couple of dozen kits that I just stored away. Most from the early eighties. I've been back for about a year now and picked up doing 1/35th military stuff but find the scale and the cost of these kits difficult to swing. As for military modeling there are many "how to" books covering detailing and weathering (painting). I was just wondering if there were scale auto specific books out there. Mainly interested in detailing how to's but very interested in weathering and "hot rodding". Again thanks for all your suggestions.

Any suggestions regarding scale car modeling books. I'm looking at Dr. Cranky's Ratz, Rodz and Rust. Someone suggested a Pat Covert book. WOW. Pricey if you could find one. Any others? Thanks.

Ever try gluing tthe tamiya stand together?

First car was a two tone (red/white) '67 Galaxie 500 with 289 and a pair of cherry bombs to keep it quiet.
