  1. And, there's no limit to how many posts with images one can string together, Charlie. Welcome back!

    Jeeps

    Good stuff! You can never go wrong with a Jeep. Here's one of mine I don't think you've seen, Terr, albeit a "Ford-Jeep."
  3. Flashbacks! The M880 is the best!
  4. Still nice stuff. I've always liked the wrecker.
  5. You're right. Not a Vicky. Nice looking '31 Tudor sedan, though!
  6. Oldies but goodies. The W/T is my favorite of this group.
  7. Thank you, Brandon, for taking care of biz for me while I was slacking off! It's good to know you and BigMike have my back. So, now, ... where was I? Oh, yeah! OMGNAGLT!!!!! Will it never end?
  8. Very nice!
  9. Ehhhh ... probably would have been easier to ask what kits NO ONE wants reissued. Just sayin' ...
  10. Anybody know why Shannon isn't hanging out or posting here?
  11. Very nicely done!! Two days? Do you drink the same water John Teresi drinks?
  12. 2007? Yikes. Hope it still looks this good! Nice build ... no matter when it was!
  13. Exceptionally nice, Charlie!!
  14. Well, perhaps. But, a better bet would be a '73 Dodge Polara 4door sedan (with McNairy County Sheriff markings from the 'Walking Tall' movie series), a '73 Pontiac Can Am, and a 4 door '77 Impala/Bel Air. Don't know about the Caddy and the Town Car. Trucks? Maybe. And try the '74 Dodge Monaco/Plymouth Gran Fury (can you say "lues Brothers?") ... at least the Polara and Can Am and bluesmopar might get you to the second day before the drug test invitation.
  15. Cool. You're an exception.
  16. So, all you starving modern pickemup phans ... how many Tahoes or Dodge Rams or Silverados or Escalades did you actually buy, stock up on? How many did you build to display at shows, publish online, or sneak into magazine coverage so as to convince the kit manufacturers of the viability of modern pickemup kits? Why are those kits considered underachieving dogs by the manufacturing/distributing/retail side of the hobby industry? And, for all the 'why won't they make new car kits' afficiandos out there ... which stunning example of automotive perfection do you want kitted? A Forchevbuick200300? Or a Toyosubahyunkiazdahon? Or a Mercedifinitiexus? On second thought, it might actually make sense: They could mold up one body, provide almost imperceptibly different wheels, and decal sheets with the slightly different composite headlamp patterns and grille logos in order to market a half-dozen or more kits as "different" modern cars! And, hobby paint suppliers would only have to stock white, black, grey, and silver. 3D printers? Sure. The printer will cost $100 but the material cartridges will cost about $300 apiece, will have too little raw material to finish a job, and will always run out late at night when Staples is closed! Actually, gang, I don't think the times are so bad! The manufacturers are pumping out more great products than I can afford to buy in the quantities I want, and I buy more new kits than I'll be able to build in my lifetime. Anything they don't manufacture just helps me out a little bit in trying to keep up with them!
  17. Whoa! I was following the build-in-progress but this still turned out fresh!! Super concept, John! Great model.
  18. Very nice. Very zippy!
  19. Wild. Those were the years! Nice clean build, Aaron. (Good looking: Even if it doesn't have a pump.)
  20. That's not the experience most of us have had with Future. It may depend on how you're trying to apply it, or if you're applying it over paint that is not fully gassed-out. Jonathan, you can strip the Future off with amonia, if you want ...
  21. Disgusting, ain't it? I've got glueblobs on my workbench older than him.
