  1. Oh Yeah! That Ford looks like a Winner to me! I'd buy a few.
  2. Mention has been made before, speculating that the Sci-Fi Models at Round2 subsidize the car kits. So, without knowing the numbers, it might be true that the Sci-Fi kits are more popular than the automotive subjects. I'd very much like to see a "Heritage" edition of the Ford Bronco kit, but I doubt that a Plain Jane Bronco would be worth the effort from a sales viewpoint.
  3. Very Clever! Sharp Build! Good Show.
  4. I Like it! More Fast Back cars. Thanks for sharing.
  5. Thanks for sharing this. Bond had a thing for Bentley's in the first couple of books.
  6. Wonderful Set of Kits, Tim! Clean, Simple, yet Eye Catching! Good Show.
  7. That's looks exactly like the ones a remember seeing on Road Trips with my Dad in the late 1970's, early 1980's. You Nailed the Look, and Era perfectly. Fantastic Work! Good Show.
  8. I have the most Recent boxing of this kit, in Dom's GTX Boxing with the Larger Wheels. I want to swap in a Hemi. Which of the Comparable 1/24 Scale Mopar kits from that Era would make a suitable donor? I have a few of the older Monogram kits to rob parts from, so it mostly just finding which kit has a close-to-drop-fit Hemi. Thanks, Alan
  9. Nice Kit. The Wheels make the kit look Dated, but the engine is superb!
  10. Wow! Great KIt-Bash! I love the look of a Stock Stude. Good Show.
  11. That looks like a Rat Motor. The whole thing would make an Excellent Fenderless Engine. The headers can probably be obtained from one of the many 3D printers that are out there now.
  12. Sharp Tribute! Those B-25's did some of the hardest missions in the Pacific Theatre. Good Show.
  13. He said it better than I can! I don't know how I missed this. Right in my Wheelhouse! Awesome build!
  14. As a General Rule, the OD P-61's went to Europe,and the Black Ones went to the Pacific. But, especially in the USAAC, nothing was ever written in stone. Good on you for building one in OD.
  15. My Favorite Contestant. Really Cool. Is the Ceepy Croup a 3D print also? Good Show.
  16. No,No you should not expect that. You are twisting my meaning. Round2 will continue to clone old kits. It is now a proven part of their business model. But, I see them doing other kits before the Ford. There are Galaxie kits out there to build, just not the 1967. I suspect that there are other, larger holes to be filled by Clones, than the '67 Galaxie, but I could easily be wrong. My reasoning makes sense to me based on what I surmise to be true, based on what I read here and other places. Other people can read the same things I do, and come to entirely different conclusions. I've stated why "I" don't think that the '67 will be cloned soon, for business and marketing reasons. I'll cheerfully admit that I was mistaken if Steve G. announces that Round2 has decided to clone the '67. Besides, I suspect that Round2 has a 2 or 3 new clones underway right now, and we have no idea what they are. Rest assured however, that one or two of them will wind up hitting your Greyhair wheelhouse.
  17. After reading all the Whinging on here about the (Blah-Blah) long lost Ford 1967 Galaxie, I am really starting to wish the the dang car never gets restored..... The Lunatic Fringe on here (and other Online Hobby Forums) are probably good for about 1500-2000 kits. After that, they'll linger on the shelves, unwanted by the Vast majority of today's builders, who really neither know nor care about the car. And, in order to be priced at a point the the Geezer Market will consent to buy it, it will have to be the simplified, Promo Chassis style from the 1960's. All in All, I don't see this being a subject that Round2 can make pay for itself. Now, 3D printing, may be a whole different animal. There it might do well, for the few folks who really want one. (I say few, because truthfully, does anybody here think the the Bread & Butter Modelers who buy from Hobby Lobby will buy enough '67 Galaxies to make this idea work?) My own opinion only. Worth 2 Cents. No Deposit, No return. Your mileage my Vary.
  18. Hey, Tom. Is there any way you could post a Pic of how that part fit after you figured it out? I'd like to know what I'll be facing when I build mine. Thank, Alan
  19. I know it is just the way the image was printed back then, but the side trim looks like it is Red, White & Blue. In Blue over White Tu-Tone, it look very Patriotic. Inspiring Paint Scheme. I'll keep this in mind when I build Mine. Thanks for sharing it.
  20. No, never thought of Cults. It is not a place I ever check for anything. Maybe that should change...... Awesome Build! I really the the 1920-30 colours you chose. The Tires look like AMT Tires.
  21. I really like your take on the Pete! Those Colours 'Pop' nicely. As others have said that is great 'real world' Combo, Red'n'Black. Good Show.
  22. I've a Monogram (now Atlantis) 1926 Mack Dump Truck. I want to build an updated 1930's version with Pneumatic Rubber tires and the distinctive Mack 6 spoke wheels. I think AITM (the Late Dave Natale)offered them, but I know that he, and AITM are no more. Does any body have any suggestion's about sourcing a new set of these rims and tires? 3D printing may be the best way to go, nowadays, but I'd be happy with resin too. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Alan Alexis
  23. "There's no Plate like Chrome, for the Hollandaise"
  24. Looks Awesome!
