Build of the year! I really like the raw expression that the slightly matte body gives, race cars were really raw in the past.

Kits containing hand tools.

Revell 54 Chevrolet, MPC's CJ5 Jeep has axe and shovel, the shovel is very nice but the axe is gigantic. -
Impressive wood painting. I really like the stance of the car, I’m in a non dropped period.

Atlantis releases Ex Revell 1/32 scale 56 Buick.
Ulf replied to John M.'s topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Have you tried dipping it in water, putting it in a plastic bag and then into the freezer ? Over and over again, if you're lucky, water will get into the joints and the tube glue will crack. I have managed to get the windshield off and get the parts of an engine out of an old kit. -
Nice build that I follow as I have one started on the shelf. Incredibly nice cats, we are aiming for one or two Ragdolls in the future.

Incredibly nice, I had to look longer before I believed you that it is AMT's classic kit.

Very balanced, very good.
-
Nice build, I really like the combination of molded custom and blower.

Screenshot from this thread, ironic that this particular ad pops up. Regardless of the question of value, to build or not, a reasonable stash has value in itself because you never know what will happen and a reasonable stash with some spread stimulates creativity. In short, good buy and disregard the contemporary fixation on value and build or kit bash if you want and need to.

On wheels, one thing I learned on this forum is to dare to use different types of glues, thanks to all who contribute. The MPC's axles are very weak so there will be a compromise with support. If I build another one, it will definitely be brass wire in the axles. -

How cool is that? I give a big extra plus for the CAR CRAFT sticker. It must have been a wonderful time.

Atlantis releases Ex Revell 1/32 scale 56 Buick.
Ulf replied to John M.'s topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Regardless of the scale, agree that four doors are a winner. The original edition of Revell's Ford Sunliner was a 55a, such a backdating of the the would be something. I am open to building everyone in the series. -

Hi Kurt All your knowledge of is gratefully noted. Ahead of the release, could you not consider writing something a little longer about these pickups ?
-
Great glass house, glad you're back, I've been keeping my eyes open for updates on your cool project.

What did you see on the road today?

Exciting, I really like the position of the front wheels, it gives the car confidence.

Crack magnifier, sometimes better than a caliper. Not cheap as measuring instruments are a real material sport but I really felt I wanted one when I saw one. It is millimeters. It's certainly not motivated by my ability to build model cars but the urge was great and I've actually gotten a lot of use out of it.

Never put together a dream team, their egos take all the power from the task. -
Would it be feasible...
Ulf replied to Earl Marischal's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hello Alan Fantastic build, nice to know who built it. I just like many others saw the latest episode of Model Car Muse on Saturday morning and saw once again this amazing diorama, a couple of button presses and my iPad had a new background image 🙂 Does anyone know if there is a list of the cars in the diorama, who built these and maybe even something written about the building ? Finally, your roadster is really amazing and that it is so nice after all these years.
