    Greetings Ronald! Always good to hear from a North Jersey guy (in these parts, we consider Plainfield North Jersey). Used to do a lot of hanging in Belmar (the one on the beach). Still have some friends there. If you do find some clubs, swap meets or contests, let me know, Were a little far but not too far. Feggettaboutittt! ?

    I'm talking about the tags some of us put on the title of the post. Google comes in when I was trying to show a friend some of my model pictures on google that were on this site, and I couldn't find any whereas a few months ago that same google picture search worked just fine. The tags used to work on a google picture search. now they don't. I can't seem to get any answers from anybody.

    Thats a good show. Been there a few times missed it this year.

    Still having the same problem. It's no big deal, but it's driving me batty. I type in every single tag in the search and zilch. A few months ago, there was no problem. Evry time i try to contact google about this it comes to a dead end. This is particularly pics from this site. Anybody else having this same problem?

    Thanks guys! I'm thinking of mudding it up a little. That would be a good way to hide that unsightly glue smudge on the windshield.

    The story I always heard was that Chrysler bought a whole bunch of Jeep horns from the U.S. military. These had the sound they were after at less of a cost they would have to spend to make their own.

    Can't remember the kit (I'm guessing '69 Judge). It was one of those old Ertl 1/18 diecast Body Shop kits. The Judge picture suddenly turned into what was clearly a '69 Camaro on the instruction sheet. If I am ever able to find it, I'll post a picture.

    Same thing happened to me. Charles had to go back and fix the problem and I ordered my 3. Glad that's out of the way. Still these things are gonna go quickly!

    That '70 Charger R/T checks off all the boxes for me. Love the 440 Six Pac cars.

    They must have an exclusive deal with Testors paints. I see plenty of other stuff from Tamiya, just not the paints. I still can't figure out why they still have flat black in the tiny Testors bottles. I've brought it up with the staff on numerous occasions. I keep telling them the Testors rack has like 5 different blacks but never a single bottle of flat black. I tell them all the time that modelers ALWAYS need flat black. I guess the corporate big whigs are just not too concerned with what their customers want.?

    Nice!

    I would just search "weathering model cars and trucks". when you click on the video you want, they will offer you a lot of similar helpful videos. Here's another one that gives you tips on detailing the windshield wiper mud.

    A lot of guys will be clamoring for that Ford grill. Me being one of them! ?

    Thanks Doyle. I have an extra sealed one that I bought when MPC re issued the kit a few years ago. Gonna go on Ebay soon. I remember building the street van version of this kit when I was a kid, but I honestly don't remember it being so challenging. This thing fought me every step of the way. There were so many times when I just wanted to walk away from this one for my own sanity. It's a wonder it got finished at all. Down the line, I've got that vintage Revell 1/16 Chevy truck to take on. Got some plans for that one.

    Now I have more dirt than I know what to do with. No sticker shock on the price of dirt! ?

    Thanks for the tip Les, I'll need to do some of that also. After I tore my hands up trying to sift the soil through the strainer, (didn't think it would be so much work) I went and got this old heavy ice cream scooper. It seemed to work a little better.
  22. Mike C.
    Your welcome John. They also have good videos on rusting them up and other patina.

    Dirt! Gonna try my hand at some mud effects.

    I just saw that too. He made it look like the one my cousin bought back when I was a kid. If memory serves me; the interior was a sort of green also. Can't wait for these!
