  1. Very elegant car you got there, Harry!
  2. I don't understand how blowing up the picture will help?
  3. Found my stash of aerosol paints today in (room temp) storage, after having relocated last year. Some of the cans covered with a brown sticky varnish like substance. The leaked can... Testors Metalizer. Right out around the bottom seam. Edit: Always store Testors in a box. Better yet, a plastic storage tub with a cover. Unless you like to scrub everything down nearby with lacquer thinner.
  4. Wish I had seen this. Wish I was able to go. Even before his awesome Futurliner, we were aware of Mr. Lillette and his beautiful models. Maybe next year I can attend?
  5. A couple hundred kits? Pftt! I just sold off the bulk of my stuff (about 1000 kits), and that is nuthin' compared to some collections out there. I know of two people in my neck of the woods who have 10,000+ kits. Yes, it is hoarding. But I rather they have it now, as compared to someones mom throwing them out 30+ years ago when he went to college. Sooner or later, most everything hits the market. And so will those.

    Meyers Manx

    Pat, really like the notched fender look. Makes the rig stand out from the rest.
  7. Like this '60 ElCo...
  8. Wow! Both... excellent! It's the details that I like. Like, do I see a small "dealer" emblem on the trunk? Never seen that done in scale before!
  9. He's right. The magazine should be renamed:
  10. Would Putin call it "Mini Meeski"?
  11. So this is available. Price is absurd, but if you want something unique for your display case, here you go. http://www.carscoops.com/2015/04/you-can-now-get-vladimir-putin-scale.html
  12. Oldest model pic I have is a pair of British aircraft. Spitfire, and a Lancaster: The oldest car model pic I have is this '74 Camaro. IIRC, I made the body mods from cardstock. Most graphics were hand painted.
  13. Looking for a source- either aftermarket, or better still a kit... with bumper mounted fog/driving lights. I am finishing up my build, really hoping to locate.
  14. Man, that is just sweet! It's got that "look" that we love.
  15. London, England - Fiat Chrysler Group, owners of the Hudson brand have announced the new 2017 Hudson Hornet. Motivating the all new vehicle will be the Twin-H Power, a turbocharged variant of Fiat's popular TwinAir 2 cylinder engine. Available will be Supermatic Drive, a wet clutch version of Fiat Chrysler's automated manual. The 2017 Hudson Hornet will mark Fiat Chrysler's return to the NASCAR circuit with the limited edition 7X sport model.
  16. So very close! If I find the decals, I may build it up grill as is.
  17. Model King will have a '69 short box version out this year. I believe this truck is very close to that. Would be real awesome if someone would do the decals for this: 1967 F-100 Holman Moody Shop Truck - Very original 1967 F-100 Ranger with some new updates, this truck was purchased new from Winebarger Motor Company in Elkin, NC in August 1967. This Ranger was ordered with a 352 2v with 3-speed on the column, Wimbledon white paint, and red interior. The truck is still mostly original inside and out, and wears all of its original chrome. This truck can be driven anywhere with no worries. The truck has nice patina and the hand-lettered Holman Moody logos really make this truck pop. The glovebox was signed by Lee Holman. This truck is almost new mechanically, below is a list of new parts installed: • Dennis Carpenter Fuel tank w/ sending unit • Master Cylinder • Wheel cylinders (4) • Rubber brake lines • Brake hardware including shoes front and rear • Original style seat cover • Head gaskets • Valve seats • Edelbrock Performer RPM Aluminum intake for 427-428 FE big blocks • Holley 750 cfm 4150 series Carburetor • Headers • Custom SLP exhaust (SCCA Trans-am racing theme) • Shelby valve covers and gaskets • Holman Moody style Air-cleaner • Water Pump • V Belt • Rubber fuel lines • Fuel pump and fittings • Heater Valve • Heater hoses • Radiator hoses • Thermostat • Coil • Spark plugs • Spark plug wires • Points • Condenser • King pins • Center drag link • DJM suspension "Dream Beams" drop I-beams to lower the truck • DJM suspension rear shackles and leaf spring hangers • Shocks front and rear • Radius arm bushings • Flywheel • Clutch • Vacuum Advance • U-Joints • Battery • Transmission Seal Kit • Push Rods • Fresh oil, transmission fluid, gear lube • Spider caps
  18. Just posted by Moebius on Facebook.... 1954 Hudson Hornet Coupe - 3rd week of April Ford Pickup - 1st week of May Ford Pickup, Model King exclusive Short Bed - 1st week of May
  19. Now that's a Raptor that visually pops! Nice job.
  20. Presume the '54 coupe is not out yet. Any chance we could at least get a pic of the box art?
  21. Wait- it has chrome headlight buckets, but no lens?
  22. Started the Hudson when it first came out (2011?). It's still on my bench. Lost interest, and then we moved. Recently got the bench set up. Should be getting sub assemblies together soon.
