I said earlier I would try, and I was able to get a '70 Torino GT kit so that will now be my primary kit for my build. I will also be using some parts from the Torino Cobra kit I provided a picture of earlier, in order to replicate my 1:1 Torino GT.

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

Snow tires... starting at $12.95. Wow, that says something about 60+ years of inflation! 😄

That's over the top corny! 🤣 It's so fun to watch commercials from that era.

Those are great vintage Aussie Ford commercials.

Phenomenal work. They all look fantastic. Your paint jobs are outstanding.

Holy smokes! That's a great looking stable of very nice cars! Even if some were started before 2024, your commitment to follow them through to completion is admirable. Nicely done!

Very nice, clean builds all of them. I like all of your color choices and the paint jobs look great.

Nicely done and a great replica of your old car which, by the way, was a gorgeous car!

It;s shipping USPS so it probably won't be on my doorstep until July. All should be good.

Great information, thank you Dave. Yours were some of the posts I read that convinced me I wanted to try Stynylrez and Createx. I don't have any great options for these locally. I went ahead and placed an order... might end up being a mistake, we'll see. This does make one wonder how the stores do it. The same risks would apply to them when shipping stock during the winter.

Thank you for the information, Peter. That all makes good sense. I didn't see any verbiage like that on the site I ordered from. Fingers crossed, I'll see what I get.

To the best of my recollection my first heavy duty truck/semi model was the AMT California Hauler Peterbilt 359. That would have been around 1975-76. I may have been known to feign sick to mom in order to stay home and finish a model with so many pieces. 😁

The train derailed when the elephant stood on the tracks eating Peanut.

And the tiger was later reportedly passing... well, we all know the rest of that story.

Here's my Torino Cobra kit. I may do a GT instead a will update with picture if I do get one.

I'm the same, pretty much Model Master (as long as my stash lasts), and Duplicolor, plus some 2k primer. But I'm very interested in the world of acrylics. I pulled the trigger so we'll see if it survives shipping in cold weather.

Thanks Peter. I was curious whether anyone has actually experienced a damaged product due to freezing in shipping. And yes, all my paint work is done indoors at room temperature in my vented paint booth. Obviously acrylics are water based and susceptible to freezing so it's a risk if it sits on a truck or elsewhere not climate controlled. Winter is my time for the hobby, no time in the warmer months. I may just roll the dice and buy a small qty and see if I luck out. I'd like to try it on a project or two.

I'm interested in doing more work with acrylics. I've read a lot of positive feedback on Stynylrez primers. I like that they are made in USA by Badger, and the price is quite reasonable. I was about to pull the trigger when I read the warning that ordering at a time when the product may be exposed to sub freezing temperatures could damage it, and the risk falls on the buyer. Well drats, I'm in North Dakota and its dead of winter. Anyone had some show up not usable due to cold temperatures?

Oh yeah, Cal Worthington is very memorable. Once the jingle gets into your head it never goes away. He came along after the Dick Balch era in my earlier post.

Does anybody know whether this is the product that is now called Chrome Effect Powder, by Modo? In the video Jon attached the presenter states that the product is from Modo. "MGM Hobby Super Magic Powder" seems to be a unicorn on the internet.

If you were in the Seattle area in the late '60s to late '70s, it would be hard not to remember this guy and his whacky commercials. Unfortunately I could only fine one clip, but his commercials were memorable and successful.

I'll jump in here with a '70 Ford Torino, either a GT as a replica of my 1:1, or a Cobra which I have in my stash already, not started. I'll follow up with a picture when I decide on the kit.

After Rust-Oleum bought Testors then killed off Model Master products I vowed not to use any Rust-Oleum products. I have disdain for corporations that absorb great companies and then run them into the ground.

The googler brought this up, a previous review on this forum.
