  1. Color? Well ... To be honest, Ira, I kept thinking ... this shape reminds me of something ... then, the moment I saw the overhead shot ... it came to me instantly! KERMIT!! That car looks like a FROG! Paint it candy apple green ... or bright lime green ... call it 'Kermit' or 'Kermy' ... and no one will think you missed the obvious! Looking good so far and I'm confident it will turn out great no matter what color scheme you settle on!
  2. Not so much. You might be surprised at the part-time occupations some law enforcement officers have. Singer? Not so unusual.
  3. Oh, he comes here. He's just using yet another alias. But I don't disagree that he would be at home on the other forum.
  4. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should - corporate division. Ugly is as ugly does.
  5. Amazing! Truly fantastic build, Tom!
  6. Farm out, dood! (Really nice build!)
  7. Dave, that looks to be the very rare Murray-bodied Model B station wagon. Most Ford station wagons did not have those slide-down curtains. Even as late as the Model B's, most Fords had snap in curtains like the Model A and '33 Fords depicted below, or aftermarket rolled canvass curtains afixed inside the body near the roof. It wasn't until the advent of steel-bodied station wagons that glass windows were available. I'm no mid-30's Ford expert, but the earliest example I could readily find with fixed glass rear side windows and crank-up glass door windows is 1938.
  8. Especially the hungry ones!
  9. Other than the windshield, early woodies did not have windows. They had optional rolled canvass covers for the openings (in case of rain). I don't think glass windows came along (in woodies) until the mid-30's.
  10. I had a tetrabyte once. It was the last time I stuck my hand in the aquarium at feeding time!
  11. Exceptional! Very fortunate friend.
  12. Why do you build model cars? Because I can't build models ...
  13. Ummmmmbelievable! Every time I think you've used up all your talent ...

    Yikes.
  15. Ken Hamilton's dioramas: timeless. Ken Hamilton's MSG dioramas: priceless. Long live Ken Hamilton's imagination. PS: I heard he was contemplating a new MSG diorama but couldn't afford enough 'modeling material!' LOL. I crack me up.
  16. Excellent issue! Mine arrived last Thursday and I couldn't put it down until I finished reading all the articles and studying a couple of them. Another Three Wows! issue!! (That's graded on a scale of one to four, and no one ever gets a four.)
  17. I'll bet Moebius would replace those decals for you, if you'd ask nicely.
  18. Shades of the old Revell Metalflake kits! Great idea, but all those compound curves played havoc with a nice, uniform appearance.
  19. X2! Always happens, doesn't it?! Really enjoyed that show. Now, just don't tell the networks that I like NCIS, NCIS-LA, In Plain Sight, or Justified.
  20. Great looking buggy, Dave!! Issue 163 arrived here last Thursday (subscription); been busy reading it ever since. Another great one!
  21. x3! Thanks, Dave!! Merry Christmas to you and yours, and may you (and Moebius) have a very prosperous and prolific New Year!!
  22. Erik - Your build, very nice! Yikes! WHAT were they thinking? Ugh.
