Bill, Vendor tables were $45 each for 8' tables, but . . . demand was so high we sold out weeks ago - even after expanding with additional tables. If attendance and entries are similarly more than las t year, we'll expand to more floorspace for next year (DSC22). Sorry you missed it this year, but please come check us out!

Fer cryin' out loud, Charlie! I thought we agreed we're both too old to be skateboarding in a buffalo herd! We ain't as young as we thinks we is! Seriously, heal up soon, my friend! -dan- -

1981 Dodge Diplomat Medallion Four Door Sedan
Danno replied to RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA's topic in Model Cars
Very nicely done! I drove a Diplomat in that very color (but lighter blue interior) back in its relatively 'new' day [one year old]. Same full size wheel covers, trim, and whitewalls. It was my assigned take-home car: I was a sheriff's detective supervisor, on-call 24/7. It was a nice car. Didn't look like a 'cop car.' (I inherited it from the detective captain when he got a newer car.) It differed in appearance from your model only by a small Motorola antenna on the right side behind the rear window. -
Superbly elegant.

Yes, we do free Make-N-Takes at both Scottsdale Goodguys shows - the Spring Nationals in March and the Southwest Nationals in November. The kits are from AutoWorld as part of a national promotional cooperative agreement between AutoWorld and Goodguys. Additionally, we (Cactus Car Modelers) offer a free Make-N-Take at Desert Scale Classic every year - this coming year it is April 12, 2025. It's our 10th or 11th year (of MNTs). Merry Christmas everyone!

Many long-time participants on this board know Wayne Hulsey and his fabulous photography. He has shared many of his albums featuring his camera artistry. He loved classic cars, especially oddball cars, antique trucks, antique tractors and farm equipment, hot rods, old aircraft, trains, and fire trucks. His photography focused on those divergent favorites. A long-time modeler, Wayne was from Southern California and was involved in organizing an early national model car builder's club. He later migrated to Phoenix and was a longtime member of the Moonlight Modelers Club. He gravitated to his latest passion, paper models. Sadly, Wayne fell gravely ill at home last May. You may know he lived a peaceful retirement in a small mountain mining town East of Phoenix. He was evaluated at the local hospital then airlifted to Phoenix. He fought hard but was unable to recover. Wayne passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon. Please entertain the good memories you have of Wayne, pray for him and commend him to his Creator for his eternal rest.

Correct. The two-part dome is (are) on the clear sprue tree, just above the side windows.

What did you see on the road today?
Danno replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hey, Tom! I got to drive one once! Don't get excited . . . it was a real dog.
