Sorry to read this. The loss of a pet is always tough. My mum recently had to say goodbye to her black lab, Isabelle. She was also 13 years old, with bad arthritis.

I kind of dig it.

I've been enjoying all of the articles about build quality on this car. Missing and loose screws, paint issues, etc. Good stuff. The markup dealers are trying to get is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous are those willing to pay it. I daresay it will be a lot like the Hellcats a few years ago. Price gouging and nonsense for the first year, stale inventory and discounts after that. Personally, I'd be more interested in the grey AEV Bison parked in front of it. Any pics of that? Lolz.

Got some paint on the cab over the past few days. The pile of unattached parts is dwindling, so that means I must be making progress! Not happy with the chrome on this one. Not sure if it's because it's an old kit, or if it's just a cheap chrome job, but when removing from a sprue, or sanding from surfaces to be glued, the chrome just flakes off in sheets.Luckily, the Molotow chrome pens come to the rescue, but still.

Social distancing. (only a few here will get this one)

Love these kits. You did a great job on yours!

Can't tell you what it is, but here are some pics if it helps you ID it.

Bodywork looks excellent!

Love these trucks, have never seen this kit before. I wonder how much it shares with the Testor's Boyd's Hauler kit...the Van Halen truck. Looks like the wheels for sure. Nicely done!

I'm going to build a Ford Galaxie into a gasser, based on a car I really like that I see at local shows. I have the Fairlane kit, I have gasser kit, and I have some engine parts to use. But have just never got around to starting this project. Been a couple of years of looking at boxes. Here's the inspiration.

Looks really good! WOuld never have guessed it was a snappr originally. And your wheel research was correct. As a previous owner of a 1995 Z28 convertible, you got it right.

Yup! The two hosts were arguing over it. The one guy loved the TWR stuff and wanted to leave them. THe other guy was a purist and thought it was all tacky and ruined the classic lines. End result...ALL of the TWR bodykit and wheels were removed and original parts went on. Turned out beautifully, but I would have left it all TWR.

I could write a song about TP, but it wouldn't have the angst or emotion a song needs, because everywhere here has TP on the shelf. The idiots panicked and hoarded earlier this month, then once they hunkered down, the rest of us normal people could actually go and shop like we always do, without drama or fights or needing five shopping carts, or three dozen of any one thing.

Turned out awesome! Excellent work.

Turned out nice! I've loved these cars for a long time, and have wanted this kit for a while. It's funny, last night I was watching tv and stumbled across a show called "Salvage Hunters CLassic Cars," and they found one of these in almost the exact same colours you used. And they turned it back to stock.

Will be happy to...once I have my bench back. It's still snowing here, and the garage is insulated but not heated. Right now I am temporarily setting up and using the kitchen table.

And now...the rest of the story... Well, part of the rest of the story anyway.

I prefer the Buy It Now option, and most will have the option to make an offer, which i've been pretty lucky with so far. Having said that, I have no issues with the auction listings. If I want something bad enough, I'll try and get it, regardless of the purchase method.

Thanks for that Tim. I am always disappointed when I get a kit without an engine. ESPECIALLY when it's from Tamiya. Those kits are priced well above the Round2 or Revell kits, so I feel I should get a "full" kit. Yes, they are better engineered and more detailed, but still. Having said that, the lack of an engine rarely stops me from buying a kit. At the end of the day, when it's on the shelf, no one is looking for an engine.

Looks good! Is this the Monogram kit? I actually have this on the bench right now.

Looks perfect to me!

That turned out nice. Your paint work is excellent!

I like it! HAve been mulling over grabbing one of these kits. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Looks good to me!
