  1. Isn't Men at Arms Hobbies still there on 25(Jericho Trnpke) in Middle Island? Cool thread it's like a Lawnguylanduh's reunion!
  2. Welcome! I live in Florida now but was born in Port Jefferson and grew up not far from Coram.
  3. Well said Sir. My thoughts exactly. I am thrilled to have a Del Rio kit in the pipeline as my father had a Cumberland Green and Colonial White one with the T-Bird hub caps sometime in the early 60's when I was a kid. I thought that was the coolest car I had ever seen...still do. I might buy a few of the kits and don't care about all these so called flaws.
  4. Count me in as well. One of the first AMT kits I ever had. Still my all time favorite, just love that box art. As mentioned above, with all the reissues out there it would be tough for me to build a mint original. I bought this original issue built up cheap not long ago... ......and using some original parts and decals I had in my stash I rebuilt it keeping the original vibe and display it with an original box. Had a ball with it.
  5. Agreed. I have experienced this many times. Never a disappointment.
  6. I wish them well in their deserved retirement and I appreciate the almost 2 year advance notice, plenty of time to save up my lunch money to get the stuff I want/need. As mentioned above perhaps they can sell the business. Thank you Don and Carol for your impeccable service and products.
  7. "Sure doesn't look like a Buick" ! I like it. Would like to see a side profile, a shot of the rear and some mechanical specs.
  8. Wonder what Aint Bea is fixin' for lunch? Great picture.
  9. Nice! Great color choices.
  10. Nice work! Definitely a body style that's been missing in form.
  11. Sharp! love that red paint.
  12. I find it hard to believe there are any Ford Granada bones in there at all. Possibly a remnant of a frame rail?
  13. I did. I built this back in the 90's long before any of the Revell Deuces hit the shelves. I wanted a high boy and the AMT kit just didn't look right. I was satisfied with the results at the time.
  14. This kit has a nice one. It's not stock though.
  15. If I had another one with a good body but needed a front grill, rear bumper. silver streak trim and wheel and tire set I'd be interested. With out that, I'll leave it for someone else.
  16. Agreed. That IMC art was/is great.
  17. When I was a kid, in the 60's, I was indeed motivated by cool box art. I even got roped in by a few Palmers. I appreciate the original art from that time and have accumulated some of my favorites from my youth but today? No, not so much.
  18. Exquisite build. Great to see one of these built factory stock. Good job!
