Rock on, Terry!! Sounds like a fabulous day ahead. Enjoy, and be sure to share some pix.

Nice, clean build, John. Don't be so tough on yourself. You've actually pretty much nailed it. There wasn't any chrome trim around the windows other than the center split and the windwing. The kit's engraved welt would represent the black rubber grommet that held the glass in the window openings. Perhaps a little dark wash in the fender louvers alongside the chrome portion of the grille, and you've really got it!

Great to see these again, Aaron! Don't be such a stranger.

Most excellent!

Cool! Great job of detail-painting.

Wow! Excellent build. Excellent weathering. Excellent concept. Excellent story! All-around winner.

Good alternative idea! Thanks.

You are more than welcome to keep it in Georgia! Yikes.

Kewl.

Nice!!!

Nice.

Wow! Just plain, Wow! Great model, Ken.

That's never a problem around here.

The Revell '29 pickup is the finest Model A pickup that can be bought in 1/25 scale. Unfortunately, a proper '30-'31 cab pickup has not been done in 1/25. It's out again under in the "Car Show" series in a Monogram box: It has a delicate suspension system because it is ACCURATE and true to scale. You must remember that Model A pickups were manufactured on the passenger car chassis. Only Model AA trucks (1-1/2 ton and 2-1/2 ton) were any beefier than the passenger cars, and they had totally different frames, suspensions, wheels, tires, axles, brakes, and transmissions. The engine, cab, hood, radiator (but not radiator shell), headlamps, headlight bar, and front fenders were the only components common/interchangeable between the Model A passenger cars/pickups and the Model AA trucks.

Ahhhhhhh. Scuttlebutt has it there may be some news down the road for our town! Sounds like it's gonna be g~o~o~d!

I saw that Agent G was offering an answer to the question, "How do I make acrylic paint crack?" I instantly envisioned his answer to be something along the lines of employing a hardback upright wooden chair, a very bright light in the eyes, and a rubber hose.

Thanks! Thought so, but wasn't sure if I was missing something somewhere else!

Gabe, Which one are you referring to? I don't recognize it by your description. Is that the depot?

Who says ANY lender charges "fair" interest rates? Harry's question applies across the board: Who has the moral authority to decide what is a "fair" price or interest rate and at what tipping point that "fair" price or rate becomes "immoral"? A free and open market self-regulates because the consumer has the right, privilege, and responsibility to decide for himself what he chooses to pay ~ and anyone who chooses to charge more than that personal price-point does so without the consumer's business. If the seller's price-point exceeds too many consumers' price-points, the seller fails . . . and morality/immorality doesn't even enter into the equation. To have someone - anyone - deciding "morality/immorality" of price-points for those too stupid to know what they are paying and whether it's a good price-point for them or whether they can afford it regardless, is to empower that 'someone' to arbitrarily make decisions for those "too stupid" people and usurps their freedom of choice. That's what's wrong with things today! Too many self-appointed nannys trying to make everyone else's decisions for them because they are "too stupid" to take care of themselves. In the golden olden days, snake oil salesman were run out of town by the consumers, not by someone deciding whether the snake oil was 'moral' or 'immoral.' Otherwise, I have no opinion on the topic!

Only because somebody hasn't been ripping them as 'immoral.'

TRUE dat!!!

I agree with the chief . . . sounds like you didn't apply a mold release to the 1st half before you poured the 2nd half. Thus, the new silicone bonds with the old and you have a 1 piece mold with a master trapped inside. I also agree with The Master Caster. Check out all his post threads on the Phoenix Model Car Builders Forum . . . he shares his learning curve, his triumphs, and his false starts alike. He's very humble but VERY talented and his products are exemplary!!

Many things "wrong" with it from a period-correct, authenticity perspective, Peter, but it is a very good build otherwise! Nice job on that old shoebox Ford!
