Thanks, I love these old Hubley Ford kits.

Check your messages. I'm sending a scan.

They look great, really like the first one!

Always happy to help out, Al.

Thanks, I didn't realize the kits were 31's. The Special Interest Series Cabriolets come up for decent prices if you keep watch.

Same here with the AMT trophy series kits.

Love your 36. I'm still looking for one.

Well I'm glad I don't seem to be the only one who loves the old Monogram kits. When they first came out in the 60's, I wasn't too interested in the older years or hot rods. I remember building the Black Widow and 58 T'bird and maybe a couple of others but was building mostly AMT, Revell, and Johan kits. Over the last few years I've really come to appreciate these old Monogram kits and have added a few to my collection. Most of the ones I have built have the plastic polished and no paint on the bodies. I have multiples of a lot of the Monogram reissues but have not built any of them. I guess I'm nostalgic because they really don't do anything for me even though they are the same basic kits. I just like the look and feel of the old plastic. Most all the models I build are original issues no matter what company made them. I agree with Randy about the other old kits too and have many built and unbuilt. I just added another NOS Blue Beetle and an NOS Futurista to my Monogram stash as well as another NOS AMT 60 Lincoln and another NOS SMP 60 Chevy pickup. I must be a little obsessed too! Photo shows most of my original older NOS Monogram kits. -Rich

Thanks Paul, Gerald, Glen, Tom, David, and Al. I really appreciate all your comments. -Rich

Mario, very nice job on this 62! That color looks superb and your detailing is excellent. The first 3 photos look especially realistic.

I really like this one Matthew. Wonderful engine detail. Great colors and looks good with the vinyl roof.

Thank you JD, much appreciated.

Thanks John, I really appreciate your comments. A busy background doesn't bother me but I took another look and see what you mean about the car on the box looking like it's part of my model. I see why the background could be a distraction to some people. I just never thought about it. And you are correct, the next to last photo does show the true colors better than the other photos. I was closer to the model when I took that photo. I know I need to get better lighting. I added another light but it's not enough. I think I'm going to buy a light box which will have different color backgrounds. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. By the way, your work bench looks less cluttered than mine! -Rich Thank you Carl!

Thanks Tom, and thanks for your thoughts on a background.

Ricky, thanks for your comments and for giving your thoughts about the backgrounds. Thank you Mario, a mix sounds like a good solution. I may try that. Thank you Doyle, about my model and your opinion on photo backgrounds.
