  1. I did not see The Shining, until last year. What a Truly horrible movie. After hearing how great it was, and how much my wife liked it, I was primed to really enjoy it. I did not. The only things I liked about it were the cars, and watching the backgrounds for things. (Furniture, Food, Set dressing items), Even Scatman Crothers was wasted. Shelly Duvall wasn't too bad, but the character she played was both sad, and not very real. I normally like Nicholson, but He just got weirder, and weirder. I could not wait for him to be gone. The whole movie was a bad nightmare. I do not see how it ever got famous at all..... The thing to me, was that there was nothing really likable about any of them. So, to those who like it, Have at It! but do not be surprised if you show it to people who have never seen it, and they do not share your liking of it. It is now almost 45 years old, and it might be aging badly.
  2. Sounds Plausible, I guess. Sad what our World is turning into.
  3. What a Brilliant save! I like the colour! Good Show.
  4. A beautiful G.P. Ruined though, by the oversized, ridiculous Modern Wheels.
  5. It is probably the Revell 1/8 Scale 1932 Ford Roadster. Last seen in this boxing. Tooling has been around for over 60 years. https://www.spotlighthobbies.com/all-products/unbuilt-kits/20377/revell-1932-ford-roadster-highboy-rat-rod-or-the-original-big-deuce/
  6. I'd build it happily, if I had one. Kinda odd looking, but paint it something other than Pink, it it might look pretty cool.
  7. Wow, I can smell the snow and diesel from here. What Tires and wheels are those?
  8. Very Nice Work. I like the wheels.
  9. I just watched that Yesterday. Great Video. I really enjoyed the back story behind them.
  10. Matt, Those Builds are Top Notch! Glad to have you join us!
  11. Would the ones from the New Revell CJ-7 work for you?
  12. Wow! What a Cool Model!
  13. I'd forgotten about those new Vette's, Chuck. Thanks for reminding me about them.
  14. I like Those but Now that I have a Rottweiler, she just eats too much for those to work any more.
  15. Boy, Marcos, you brought Teh Shiny for this build. Outstanding Finish, and surgically clean build! Good Show.
  16. So, I'll assume that neither you nor they have any interest in this newly tooled kit, eh, Mike?
  17. I love the 'Googie' style. There are even a few building left here in Bakersfield in that style.
  18. Looks Great! A nice Save. Good Show.
  19. Great!
  20. Gorgeous! Simply One of the neatest things I've ever seen.
  21. Mine Carried some of the Tanks and Airplanes, but since they cut the kit section in half, there is no more Atlantis kits. It used to be 3/4 of an aisle, and now it is less half. Not sure why our H.L. has such a different Plan-o-Gram than the others I see here.
  22. Not a whole lot of difference between a CJ2A and a CJ3A, really. The windshield of course and other smaller details, but Jeeps stayed mostly the same for a long time. The CJ3B it a much different animal visually, so if that is what you want there is some scratch building in your future. I suspect that a Japanese company may have produced a CJ3B years ago, but it will be rare now and hard to find. You might look an this thread. But, I think the is an M38B not an M38A https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mpc-1-1210-250-jeep-cj-5--989876 But it may be more M38A (rounded) than you want. Some More Info on CJ3's at this site. https://cj3a.info/cj3a/farmjeep/fj.html Lastly the Italeri 1/24 Jeep is a Willys MB or GPW, so that won't work for you. I hope this Helps.
  23. That is perfection. I would have never thought to question you about it being a Phantom. I just assumed it was a kit of a factory stock car. Great Work!
  24. Well, if you are new to the Hobby, by definition all those kits are new to you....,, But, I hear you. But, the model companies are doing new kits. Round2 has given us at least three in the last 6 months. The 1960 & 1963 Ford Pickups, and the 1964 Chevy Malibu Chevelle. Plus the earlier pair of 1963 Chevrolet Station wagons. Atlantis and Moebius drop new kits, but much more slowly than Round2, and since not many of those kits make it to Hobby Lobby, you have to be more plugged in to be aware of them. As for re-issues, I hear you. But Some kits just sell well. Round2 is not going to leave money on the table. That 1953 Ford Pickup must sell really well to justify leaving it in production all the time But, even if you and I don't need another copy, somebody new to the hobby might.
