Well, if a Polish politician was involved, it would be a Pole pol pole poll!

Oh, John! Just freakin' incredible! Every time I think you've hit the ceiling, you knock another one clear out of the ballpark. It's not even done yet and it's already just unfriggin'believable. Wow. I'm gonna start saving up for some new sunglasses so I can look at this one up close when you bring it to Desert Scale Classic! Holy moley! Did I say, GREAT JOB!!!?!!!!

That sucker will get the peaches to the market.

Pole? Where are the dancers?

I think there are some other sports that might benefit from a 'glowing puck' ~~ like Olympic Board Posting.

Another verrrry interesting show rod build, Dave. And, that's quite an assortment of Mack-based kits. I've never seen them all grouped together before. Thanks for sharing!

Nice!

Number 1: What childish antics? Number 2: Samdiego included the Society of American Engineers in one of his Top Ten humorous, satirical reasons for the crash of MCM's site. What's that got to do with 'dem udder guise'?

No, labeling them is not 'meaningless'. It's very important! After all, if they didn't put big brand-name labels on them, we couldn't tell them apart!

Okay, Bernie, You asked for it; you got it. Now that you have a detailed underside photo, there better not be a wire, line, hose, tube, nut or bolt out of place on your model! Seriously, Wow! How's that for reference material.

Actually, Al Raab (Ma's Resins) makes beautiful Ford split-rim steel disc wheels for the 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 ton range of Ford trucks. The disc wheels were unchanged from 1930 through 1952. The 1928-1929 Ford Model AA was significantly different and not interchangeable; they featured heavy duty wire spoke wheels. The large commercial Fords used the same chassis, axles, springs, wheels and tires from 1930 through 1952. In 1930-1931 the Ford Model AA chassis was powered by the standard Model A 4-cylinder; in 1932 Ford began offering the flathead V8 as an option to the 4-cyl engine. Minor chassis changes began occurring around the end of the 30's and early 40's. All American Models once marketed a resin rolling chassis suitable for the 1930-1940 era and it would pass most inspections for any Ford truck through 1952, other than the mechanical brakes earlier trucks had. The AAM chassis and wheels/tires have not been available for ten years or so. Later, Herb Deeks offered a resin early 30's chassis and wheels/tires, but it has not been available for about 5-7 years. As mentioned, Ma's Resins currently offers beautiful resin wheels/tires (proper 6.00 x 20 size in scale) for the Ford AA, BB, and mid-30's through early 50's heavy commercial trucks.

That's because the management over there will not allow MCM or anything close to "competition" to even be mentioned. As soon as it is ... the post is deleted.

That's rice!

It's a REAL pip!

Wow.

Nice to see one of those old square S10/S15's built!

You, too?

Decent, Dave!

Beautiful paint on that red one! Good job, Dave!

Walter the Bus. A 13-foot tall scale model (Scale= 2:1) of a 60's VW Minibus, aka 'The Hippie Bus.' Created from a retired Luke AFB Fire Department Crash/Rescue Truck. Lives right here in the Valley of the Sun. May I introduce you to Walter: Check out his website: http://www.walterthebus.org Is that not cool, or what??

That's an awesome idea, Dave! Thank you. It's something that occurs to builders ... especially once they've lost one of those tiny little do-dads ... but seldom ever occurs to kit manufacturers that don't actually build their own products. Kudos to you!

2011 has just gotta be a better year!. Just gotta be! Now let's hit the gas and leave 2010 behind!

Nice.

Yep. That "snow storm" in '98 was all of ... slightly under a half-inch "accumulation" in Scottsdale and a little over an inch in Downtown Phoenix, but you'd a thought it was a 100-year flood! Traffic was completely out of whack and the city's street department was running around trying to find its plow. (Note to Northerners: Yup. Plow ... singular. One city of 3 million, one snow plow.) UTI's still here; moving to a big new campus and office complex. Have a Happy New Year!
