Well, you are closer than we are to the "Front Lines" so to speak, so your opinion matters more than mine does. Get your kids whatever interests them, and Model On.

Awesome Build!

I've noticed too, that few Hobbyists (in any Hobby) are 100% 'Into' the hobby for their whole lives. Interests, Circumstances, Incomes, & other aspects of life change. Marriage & Divorce are two of the biggest factors in hobby participation too. I know of two prolific Modelers who completely left the hobby. One in a Divorce, the other to Marriage. The Married Guy has not modeled now for over 20 years. He may come back to it someday. The Divorced Guy, just quit everything when he got divorced. He has both a 1 to 1 Fad T-Bucket, and a Scratch Built, Brass Framed Model of the same T, at about the 90% done state. They have been at 90% for at least 10 years. Neither will ever get done. The Loss of His Marriage gutted him. He works, He Drinks, He goes home to repeat it again. He pays Alimony. That is all he is willing to do now. So, Life affects different Modelers many ways. There is a guy in our club who built Award Winning 1/35 Scale Armor kits for years. He was in FSM and Won National IPMS Contests. He walked away from Armour several years ago. He Told me that he had accomplished all he wanted and would never touch an Armour kit again. Yet, he is happily building cars now, after 20 years of not touching them. So, some of those Builders you seek, may have simply reached what they felt was their peak, and moved on to different aspects of the Hobby.

Cool! Been Waiting for this one.

That is one of the Best Builds of that Kit, I have ever seen. You nailed the colour!

It was the Matilda Van. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/vans--recreational/amtmatildacustomfordvan/?view=roll

Wow! Thanks!

Rich, Thanks for the Feedback.

Okay. Now I need a set.

Wazzat the real "Orange Crate" in that photo? If so, it sure looks good.

Are those Dodge 3/4 Ton Truck Hubcaps/Wheels in the 11th pic? I need a set of those, and with Rookie Resin closed, nobody seems to be making them.

Any Updates from Cust Service at Round2 on the Body for your kit?

Cool Builds. They look like perfect "Slump Busters" or a great way to get kids into the Hobby.

Great Decal Sheet! I like the call back to Revell's home town, Venice CA.

I'd buy one, regardless of how it was molded. One that I would take any way Round2 chose to sell it.

Welcome to the Forum, Gene. I was about 5 months old when you got married! It is good to have you here.

Glad to have you here. The Only other Turkish Modeler I know is Korkut Varol.

Happy To see you here, Ken. NIce to see another Auto Mechanic. (from 1988-1999)

Well Done. You see a lot of those here in Southern California.

What great build! I like the Worn outside contrasting with the new inside. Who (or what ) is Cruisaire Bronco?

One of the Online Vendors wants $74.00 for this kit. Do you think it is worth it?

so, I have a question about Wheels. Rules are No Spoked Wheels. I'm building a '21 Olds (Beverley Hillbillies) It has Spoked Wheels, and I'd prefer to use them, as they look nice, However, I can scrounge some Wires if I have to. Any Thoughts?

I'm glad.

I love This! Great Edsel Build.

I hope you get your Wheels.
