Ha! I remember building those snap rig kits too! Fond memories...

I agree with that idea. At least give us a chance to check.out Mr. Body's publication. I'm sure his intentions are good to publish such a magazine supplement. I say hats off to him. Then again, we don't know if Barnes & Nobles will stock it since none of Kalmbach's other special issues are never offered for purchase outside their domain. Keep in mind, Kalmbach wants all the profits and rights to any of their supplement magazines to themselves. Pure business move.

No pic but I finally got my Christmas package from my sister in Maryland. MPC's "Spirit of '57" Chevy kit. She knows my taste when it comes to model kits better than my wife. Told her I've been wanting to do that kit again for years. A bit of history why I say that. My sister & I used to do model kits back in our youth years all the time. We both amassed a nice collection of builds but sadly no more now. She did mentioned out of the blue a couple months ago reminiscing the years of our youth doing models on our front porch during the summer months and my grandparents' basement. An idea came up that she'd like to do models with me again. Oh heck, yeah! So now, I've been looking around eBay finding a kit she used to do so when she's able to visit me in New York, we will start again.

Why not use Molotow chrome pens? They come in 3 different tip sizes.

And also my first armor build in over 30 years.?

I remember having that kit in my youth years when it had glow in the dark parts and pieces.

Actually, it was resumed Christmas week off and on. The last week was mainly concentrated on weathering and decals.

Wow... I can't remember to be honest with you. I started building model kits around 1976 or 1977. That would put me about 9, 10 or 11 years old back then.

I did too! ? I thought it was a cool kit.

Wow.... I like it a lot!

Wow...she’s a dirty lil gasser! Well done!

I agree. Yeah, I remember they were crazy fast cars back then.

Saw this on MSN this morning. Wow... but it does beg the question Why? Sell the darn car already. LOL! https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/how-has-this-1987-buick-gnx-remained-unsold-decades-later/ar-BB19X3pS?li=BBnb7Kz

I think everyone here will agree on this one "plan".... buy more model kits!?

The tribe has spoken, Just wanted to add this before more bashing hits the fan and the thread gets locked. The only time I'll buy an issue of FSM is if there's a feature segment/article that interests me. I only have 5 issues of FSM on hand from the last 7 or 8 years.

Hard to say what's in store to build in 2021. It all depends on my mood. I've got a few kits shelved I want to finish and a few auto kits planned. I also have a few Group Builds I'm participating in over at SPAM, including two I'm hosting (first one in January 4th, the other in Summer 2021). My only real goal is to beat my own record of 7 builds of 2020.

Another marketing ploy by Kalmbach to bleed money out of SA guys to gain subscribers to FSM. Honestly, FSM don't care about scale auto, only fine scale in aircraft, armor, sci-fi, and miniatures.

Good Lord, no....... pink whitewall tires? Seriously? LOL! I’ll bet the decals are murder to put down too.

Liking back.on one poster's acquisition, I fondly remember the Movin' On rig and Ice Patrol kit. I had both in my teen years. Fun builds back then.

Ever noticed when they do a weekly product rundown video segment, they never feature any new auto kits? No surprise there.

Nice but pricey. Even their Military colors are expensive.

Got this on a trade with a member here...

Kalmbach = FSM... No thanks after they screwed us in shutting down Scale Auto Mag site. Even the FSM Mods and forum members are too sensitive on topics posted. Screw them.

20?!?! That's it! I quit! LOLOLOL!!! Incredible builds in all!! ?
