Wishing you all a Merry Christmas! Charlie, thank you for the beautiful reminder of the real reason for this celebratory season! God Bless you, your family, and all! ???

Both are spectacular! But the Cutlass scored big time twice in the dscV16 - DESERT SCALE CLASSIC VIRTUAL CHAMPIONSHIP! Best Factory Stock AND Best Interior Master Award! Congratulations, Steve!!! May 2021 also be a big year for you. ??

Peace on Earth ??

This is good stuff, Steve! Great concept, great conceptualization. Looking forward to seeing this one. ??

LOL! But, technically, I think this guy jumped INTO the shark rather than 'jumping the shark.' ??

I didn't see the shark, Jesse. ??

Sounds like what you want, Mr. Preston is snap kits. Perhaps you should stick to those. If the KW925 kit was as bad as your commentary indicates, it wouldn't have sold well when it was new and it wouldn't have sold well enough to be re-issued over and over through the years. Remember the sage words of Mick Jagger and friends: "You can't always get what you want." Forty (or so) year old kit with modern state of the art engineering and precision snap kit features? Not in this lifetime, I'm afraid. I've bought and built thousands of AMT kits in my lifetime and haven't experienced what you describe across the board as you suggest. Maybe an occasional kit doesn't live up to high expectations, but the vast majority of them did and do and will continue to. Sorry you had a bad experience with one kit, but it doesn't warrant painting the entire AMT product line with such a harsh brush. IMHO. Mellow out and have a nice holiday season. ??

Love them all, Steve. But most especially that Chrysler! SSuper Nice!! ??

Needs more cowbell. ??

I know! ??

You did. Sorta. Several posts back Moparfarmer diverted the discussion to the 1959 Imperial (as another example of an "oddity" reissue that was an unlikely success). Then RichCostello posted that it was currently on the shelf at Hobby Lobby. When I first read RichCostello's post, I too thought it was indicating the Nova station wagon was at Hobby Lobby (after all, it's a thread about the Nova), but re-reading it revealed it was apparently a referrence to the Imperial. I don't think the Nova has made it to Hobby Lobby yet . . . it's still scheduled for March release, I believe. Sometimes it takes a road map to follow conversations around here. Hope this helps. ??

It's not a matter of manufacturers' rationale. It's Federal safety mandates. Back up cameras are required on all passenger vehicles, but trucks and commercial vehicles are not included. 'Small window sports cars'? I dunno what you're referring to, but most likely exempt due to being exotics and other-category low production vehicles. Don't scratch your head. It's not a mystery, the manufacturers have no say in the matter. ??

Welcome, Steve. But, actually, the word eclectric gets a whole lot of usage/mileage around here!! Much more common term than you might have thought! ??

D@mn@ation! That is nothing short of spectacular!!! Superb job, Bob. ??

Caught Amos Moses!

By gosh! Wow. That's quite a project. Great work so far. Keep it up. ??

Wow. Way to jump right in there!! Welcome. ??

I see what you did there; very punny! You're really on top of your game! ??

Looks fantastic, Brad! It turned out great; the pics with the "snow" even look chilly! Most excellent, indeed. ??

Do you think that was worse than the 1/24 abomination Monogram did? The one that looked like all of Monogram's designers took the week off and Monogram hires temps from Palmer for that one kit? That tooling had a svelte body like a tugboat with Tyrannosaurus Rex thighs and a face not even a mother on crack could love. Here's box art from one of the variants: My vote for the WORST Camaro kit/s of all time. ??
