I wonder if Atlantis did end up with these molds?
It's possible that Atlantis may have them. The number of molds that it purchased from the new owners of Revell back in 2018 was in the hundreds.

John I would be interested, is there anything you need parts wise?
I'm good on parts Phil. Thanks anyway. It's free if you still want it, PM your address and I'll do the rest. I'll even take care of the postage.

I stopped by my local Dunkin Donuts shop early this morning on my way to work and while I was waiting in line with 5 others, a woman came in and went straight to the front of the line with a sense of entitlement attitude. The 6 of us and the D&D employee jumped her and she just stormed out. I hate people like her.

I took an inventory of my parts stash over the weekend to see what I wanted to keep and I came across a grill for a 1976 Plymouth Road Runner by MPC which I don't have. If anybody needs it for a project that they're working on or needs it for a future project. zap me a PM and it's yours for free.

I watched a video of the folks from Atlantis at a model show in Wayne NJ. last month where test shots of three different models that some say that one of them was the Tom Daniels Poison Pinto. I checked and it sure looks like it. The video is before the thread showing the funny car molds.

Built a lot of AMT 3-in-1 kits when I was a youngster, in the 60s. Always customized. Used to buy old Rod & Custom and Car Craft magazines for a nickel apiece from an old newsstand guy and drool over the pics.
Loved the 3-in-1 kits because there were extra parts that could be used on future builds. One of my models was on the cover of Model Car Science, and pics of another one were in MCS or Car Model Magazine--can't remember which. But then I got old enough for real cars, and at the same time discovered girls. Priorities shifted.
Was thinking of challenging my son to a model car build. He's into dioramas and models and such, and has the sweetest '50 Chevy pickup in his garage. Discovered this site when I was trying to figure out how replicate tuck 'n' roll upholstery in 1/25 scale. Have already spent more than I should on an AMT '50 Chevy pickup and a few donor kits.
Glad I found this site--this is gonna be fun!
Howdy and welcome to the site neighbor. There's a few others here from the Bay State as well that I'm aware of.

I have the need to drive for a weekly paycheck. I drive a school bus.

I picked a jar up last week at Walmart.
Finally got a jar. I actually got two. It was pricey but it's a good seller where ever it's sold.

I haven't been able to my my favorite brand of coffee anywhere for almost a few days. The brand is Nestle's "Taster's Choice" instant coffee.

Welcome aboard Kurt. There are many modelers like you from all over the world who are members here. The hobby is truly global.

I did some early morning grocery shopping before the weekend crowd showed up so I can kick back. I'm on vacay this week.

I got a PM from the individual in question this morning but I simply deleted it. He asked me if he could swap a AMT 57 T Bird rebuilder that he had for one of my cars but I already have two 57 T-Birds. I did what I had to do.
-
Thanks for the heads up. I'll just delete any and all PMs from them.

He and longtime tag team partner and friend Luke Williams were fan favorites in the WWE especially in the 1980s. Their comical antics kept the fans entertained. He'll be missed.

One word came to mind after looking at the photos of the car,

Anytime Geno. Glad that Gary was able to hook you up with the bumper.

No luck Geno. Sorry about that.

I'll see if I have one from my parts stash Geno.

Looking good Bob.

I got my weekly groceries at Market Basket early this morning so I could both avoid the crowd that shops later in the day and kick back.

Would love to have a '57 Nomad wagon as long as they can get the shape of the roof corrected as well as the hood and grill. Revell never seemed to be able to fix the shape of the roof.
Atlantis has been in putting lots of effort to fix the old Revell tooling since it bought it and the other tooling of Monogram, Renwal and Aurora from the current owners of Revell back in 2018 given their age. So far the result have been pretty good from what I know so hopefully they can do the same with the 57 Nomad tooling.

It sounds crazy but when I got up to get ready for work early this morning, I heard birds chirping outside of my bedroom window and it was still dark outside,
-
I read Atlantis's Facebook page and the company says the tooling for the 1957 Chevy Nomad is undergoing repairs. The kit was listed in the company's previous catalog so I'm speculating Atlantis found hidden problems with the tooling before the kit was to go into production. Nothing was said on when the repairs will be completed.

I got the Comet in the mail this morning from E Bay for a song but it's missing a tire and chrome outer wheel. Trades welcome.
