Replacement lamp. A little nicer than the last one! 🙂

I will have to agree that the height may not be too noticeable next to the garbage truck, but stuffing a near 7’ tall woman in a sports car? Well the top better be down so she can see over the windshield! 😁

Wish that I had known this before I went searching some slow drying glue. The LHS I went to only had thick CA glue they said dried slower but still seems like it dries too fast (for me) to position some finicky parts I have in mind. We’ll see…

I bought one of these a while ago and it will be maybe never before I get around to building it, but I did see someone on eBay was selling a 3 person garbage collection crew that would go well with it. My only concern is that most 1/24 people are 6’+ which makes them even taller in a 1/25 environment.

Really like the Corvair!

Worst thing about summer is BUGS!🪲

Well more like what I got in the last 6 months (+) not in chronological order- eBay purchases (‘55 Dodge-Walmart) Got in trade with a forum member From Ollie’s - to introduce granddaughter to model building. ‘66 Shelby was a club meeting door prize. Got the ’60 Mercury in trade with a club member. ‘50 Buick from Jay’s Resin Wheels. From ebay for parts. Most are warped. There are 2 complete kits - a 1910 Pierce Arrow and the Sears buggy, although it’s top is slightly warped, I think it’s salvageable. The 1903 Ford is slightly warped but it isn’t so bad a little paint and set back far enough on a shelf it will look ok. 😉 It’s the yellow one in the pic below. Highway Pioneers from ebay. Girls are mini Barbie dolls my gf found at the Dollar Tree. They are about perfect 1/32 scale once removed from their bases. They are almost perfect for 1/25 scale children, too, if you can find any that look like children. +++ In July so far +++ Another ‘64 1/2 Mustang! From eBay. This one is missing a few parts the most agreegous being a stock taillight lens. Not shown is an assortment of Evergreen “sticks” and a Tamya extra small flat brush with rounded edges and a couple of bottles of CA glue. I think I remembered it all!

I don’t know if this will help but I have an old pair of Xacto knives in a plastic case that I’m pretty sure I got in the ‘60’s (maybe early to mid-60’s?) My first real hobby knives! (Before that was a Boy Scouts jack knife or kitchen knives!) The handles are well worn but you can still see the old style logos stamped into them. They are still in use today.I still have these blades that came with the set. All the #11 blades are long gone but the last #16 is still in use. (Mounted in a newer handle)They, too, have the logo and identification number stamped in them. Two dates to help determine the age of an item are 1963 - zip codes begin to be used. 1974 - barcodes begin to appear/be used in grocery stores. I think it took a little longer for other markets to adopt barcodes. I can remember seeing lots of products with barcodes long before for most retailers installed the readers.

Yes and no. I sent one to pulln4dejr. It was his message for me to check my p.ms. I didn’t see a new message from either of you. If you want to pm me try again. I’ll keep an eye out for one.

Nothing there from you. Had internet outage all day yesterday. Maybe it had something to do with not receiving pm ?

Gotta love that trunk detail. Did the kit come that way or is that scratch built?

Don’t be sorry! Thanks for sharing!

Glass is really for ‘61 Dodge Time Machine resin kit. After market vacuum form glass would be acceptable. Any resin kit glass that utilized the Plymouth roof should work. Also need rear bumper for ‘61 Dodge wagon like the chromed one in pic. It’s a Modelhaus piece. The white bumper that came with the kit is inaccurate and could be included in a trade.
