Oh, that is so nice. One beautiful Mustang and that color really fits it well.

Pair of Coca Cola pickups
TarheelRick replied to 1959's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Those are a fine-looking pair of pickups. It's too bad that Willys flip front doesn't fit any better; that is why I display mine open. -
Right now I am working a project on the kitchen table. Two reasons: (1) it is too cold for these old bones in the basement, (2) my workbench is so cluttered I can't find it to use it. I have got to get down there and do some cleaning. Still not quite 100% from the knee replacement, so a bit limited as to what I can do.

Greetings from Kernersville,North Carolina!
TarheelRick replied to ncbuckeye67's topic in Welcome! Introduce Yourself
Another Tarheel here, I live about 30 miles west of Winston-Salem around the intersection of I-77 and US 421. Welcome to the forum, looking forward to some of your builds. -
Walked outside this morning to take some bills to the mailbox and found a fresh FEDEX delivery beside my door straight from Hobby Link Japan. The Toyota is going to be married to an extra Mustang Firefighter chassis I have, should make a believable Gasser. The VW van may be massacred into something that has been on my mind for several years, and the wheels will be added to my collection of custom wheels that are patiently waiting to be used on some Day 2 builds.

1963 Lola GT
TarheelRick replied to Gramps46's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Really looking forward to what you do with this kit. That particular Lola is one of my favorite of all times. I have the Monogram 1/32 model that needs some TLC. Keep those updates coming. -
Very well-done diorama. Even though the figure is a bit cartoonish, she still adds believability to the overall scene. But will that suitcase fit inside the Renault; inquiring minds want to know.

Actually, I believe Randy is a 1/25 scale engineer. All those large fingers in the pictures are trick photography. That is the only explanation I have. I have trouble with regular kit parts. This build, this piece of art, belongs in a fine arts museum somewhere. Or maybe in the Smithsonian. Those small pieces are way too much for me to comprehend.

April 1st 2023. Fast Trax Spring Con. Salisbury NC
TarheelRick replied to H.A.K's topic in Contests and Shows
Thanks for that information. The connection to the flyer on their website works, technology can be finicky. -
4-door Ford Bronco
TarheelRick replied to Jurva's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That is some really nice work, very clean build. Really like all the detail work on the roof rack and the interior. -
April 1st 2023. Fast Trax Spring Con. Salisbury NC
TarheelRick replied to H.A.K's topic in Contests and Shows
Guess no one is really interested in sharing information about this show. -
Indeed, a beautiful rendition of the Sox & Martin Superbird. Very good job with the paint, especially those stripes - they are a masterful job.
-
Beautiful work on this build. Back when this car was new a person could leave the keys laying on the console or even in the switch and not worry about it.

Only wagon memories I have is our '57 Chevy Wagon. In the summertime Dad would take a weeks vacation. Our next-door neighbor and their two daughters and our family of five would pile into that wagon with luggage and the obligatory cooler for picnics along the parkway. We would traverse the Blue Ridge mountains for four or five days, my seat was always in the very back. Saw plenty of nice views outside that big back glass.

TarheelRick replied to H.A.K's topic in Contests and Shows
PDF didn't work for me either. Would like more information about show. -
Please don't laugh..
TarheelRick replied to Stocks05's topic in Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Excellent build, very deserving of the award. Much the same, except I was not "forced", but the first show I entered I won first place with a short track modified. Noticed your award came from SJAFB. I spent 2 1/2 years there in the mid 70's, one of my more enjoyable assignments. -
I really don't want to divulge the project, until I have an opportunity to make sure it will work.

Unfortunately, that would not have the effect I am trying to get.

Revell's Chi Town Hustler Charger F/C builds from the 90s 1/25 scale
TarheelRick replied to Dang 10's topic in Drag Racing
Two very nice builds. I had the opportunity to watch the Chi-Town run at the 1975 Pro- Am race at Rockingham Dragstrip in NC. The only thing I really remember was the beautiful back-up girl with her really tight and short pants. -
Nice, clean build. That color is definitely an eye-catcher. Just noticed the rear panel has a very strong resemblance to the '67 Charger.
