What Did You See In Your Yard Today?
Volzfan59 replied to Tim W. SoCal's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I didn’t get a picture but I went out in the back yard to find a horse. We don’t own any horses. Guess one of the neighbors horses must have gotten out. -
Thinkful Wishing about Round2 Models, future Kits.
Volzfan59 replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thank you! Not to hijack this thread, but I want one to turn into a stock car. When I was living in middle TN there was a little bullring style dirt track. All they raced was Chevette’s. A modified class and a stock class. Sadly I never went as I was racing my 1:1 race cars at other tracks. -
Good looking Impala, before and after.

Great job! I love those Bill Davis owned cars.

I agree, love to have any, or all of those old MPC pro stockers! The SMT Javelin and AMX kit too! My wife had a ‘69 AMX when we were dating in high school. Great times -
Sign painter did a great job. I’m liking this!

Thanks for the history lesson @Carmak! I didn’t know any of that. Love learning little tidbits about the evolution of model kits. The more ya know

Me too, that’s how we built every race car I’ve owned. When the tracks I raced at started allowing tube cars, stubbed cars and offset chassis’s in the limited late models, hobby stocks and even street stockers it was time for me to bow out.

Coming Soon from Atomic City's JoHan line of new kits
Volzfan59 replied to thatz4u's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I wonder if the ‘55 Powell pick up will have the pull out fishing rod storage? Probably not, but it would be cool. Great truck show with Atomic City’s new jon boat kit. Powell also made a sport wagon version of the truck. -
I’m enjoying what you’re doing. A Chevelle sure made for a great looking race car.

I’m interested in the Shelby but I’ve blown my June model budget already. Ordered the Atomic City jon boat kit and preordered two of Wes’s dirt late model kits.
-
I’m in for this one too!

Volzfan59 replied to MarkJ's topic in WIP: NASCAR
Mark, I agree with you about the roll cages in that kit and also the Lennie Pond era Chevelle kits. They are entirely to thick and my pet peeve, a cage that doesn’t go to the roof! -

Volzfan59 replied to MarkJ's topic in WIP: NASCAR
As always Mark, your attention to detail and realism is second to none. I’m really enjoying this as Monte Carlo’s (up to 1977) are one of my favorite 1:1 cars. Made for a great looking race car too! -
I can see picking up an El Camino.
-
You are correct, they were big race cars! I ran a 1977 Monte Carlo in the limited sportsman (asphalt) class. Wheelbase was 116”. Now it had some racing parts and was cheated up a little, but it was the best handling car I ever drove.
-
When I got back into the hobby I decided to purchase all of the old kits that I enjoyed building no matter the cost within reason. That goal was accomplished with the help of a couple of friends. Between those kits and some newer ones I’ve got enough models to do me for two or three years. That said, if Round 2, Revell, Salvino’s, etc come out with something I want, I’ll buy it no matter the tariff situation. Same with my bass fishing addiction. Life is to short.

That’s doggone cool right there!
-
I agree with @Kevinjr26, that stance screams old school Winston Cup car. Makes me miss how great NASCAR racing used to be. I really like everything that you’ve done. Great work!

Great comment Dave Van!
