My first was the Industrial band Ministry in 94 or 95. Insanely loud- and was still insanely loud when I saw them again in 2008. Best by far was Rammstein in 2012. The sound was perfect as was the overall production. Janes Addiction when they toured with Nine Inch Nails in 2009 would be a close second.

'53 Ford

I started out as a kid building cars, went into aircraft & real space. Only in the past year have I returned to cars. It's always seemed to me that cars have been the lesser built of the two genres at least from my perspective.

I'd be all over that as well.

Looks like Atlantis has some upcoming car & truck kits....... Just saw this posted on their FB page.

Pretty much confirms what I heard down here too. 2 different gals at two different stores told me it would be 'in the sale rotation'. Be nice if they'd get some fresh never before stocked inventory!

Went to the beach for a few days and found the VW Camper waiting on me when I got home along with the Zvezda GAZ. Basically a Russian version of a '34 Ford. The Ford pickup is from the LHS and the Suburban was a straggler I found in Ollie's Thursday.

Saw this Kaiser for sale in a neighborhood.

It's likely a real ad. In a prior life I owned a restoration shop specializing in pre-ww2 cars. Nickel era (roughly 1918-1925) cars don't bring big money compared to earlier brass cars or later cars of the 30s. Parts availability and the fact that most cars from this era are most happy at 35mph detract from the fun of ownership. There is a glut of this era of cars coming on the market and it's only going to get worse!

I see him often at the larger shows here. I've never watched his show- he's arrogant & cocky in real life, not much fun to be around.

Those look great! Even better they put Florida license plates on the decal sheet. Mine is supposed to be here Tuesday- not sure if I can wait that long after seeing those sprue shots! I suspect this will be a good selling kit.

If memory seves, i think you have some Ford tractor paint. They used those colors and the MIJ prefix sounds like a tractor parts prefix.

Very sharp! Nice clean build!

I'd buy 6-8 of this if it ever came to reality. I'm a big fan of 50s Ford products & had a '56 Montclair HT for a while.

I'll hit them up tomorrow, need to pick up a couple of things anyways.

That forum has turned into a steaming pile of dog BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH just like the magazine. You've got one guy posting long winded BS and then asking if he should change his screen name, another posts sports cards and stamps in post after post. I quit posting there, just drop in every so often to see the latest fiasco. I give FSM 6 months before it's gone too.

I agree with the others- pretty weak month. Gives my wallet a break!

I'll have to pick up one of these as well. Looks like a fun kit!

I picked up a few kits this week. I was talking to the cashier/manager & she told me that she thinks this is going to be a normal thing or as she put it "They will be in the sale rotation". Pay attention to the prices as well. I found a Revell '29 Roadster marked at $21.99 while the rest were $29.99, same with the '60 Chevrolet Pickup $24 vs $29.

? The ignore feature is a wonderful thing. Just sayin'

Being a Model A guy, I collect all the Model A kits I can find. Snagged this off an auction site for a reasonable price, even more so when it came with an extra body & fenders! The last one I bid on went for $76, I paid way less than that for this one.

I think the market is flooded right now due to several factors. As an ebay seller, the fees have increased and of course shipping rates have too. To me it's not worth the hassle anymore with making boxes, going to the post office, uploading tracking numbers- things you don't get paid for. I just cleared out a bunch of duplicate/kits I'd never build on ebay and thought the sale prices were a bit down. No matter, now I have more room to buy more kits!

Ditto on the HL's all looking the same. I have 10 HL's in a 100 mile radius of me and every darn one of them have 99% the same stock in the same spot. People are buying kits tho.

Nice stashes! I'll have to post mine. I think I'm around 400 kits divided between cars & trucks, aircraft and Spaceflight.

Finally had a chance to hit up my local Ollie's. Stacks of the Big Red Rod, Stagecoach and snapper modern cars. I picked these up even though I have them in the stash already. No other car kits to speak of.
