Why can everybody paint wood except me?

Mine must be the Revellogram '59 Caddy. I parted out at least ten of them to build hearses, some pimped ECTOs, some Flintstone resins. The chrome pieces of both ECTOs are useless, since they have the flashing lights molded into the grille. I also use the wheels. Since most of my hearses are curbsides, I am left with quite a few engines from the Revellogram kits. I whacked the rear portions off of some of the leftover Revellogram bodies and made them into '59 Caddy sofas.

Only to paint the 'wood' would take me more than a week. No, month. No, year. Probably decade.

I also have used Chrome Tech in the past and always was more than satisfied with the quality and service. For the latter, I'm old-fashioned enough to realize that outstanding quality cannot be achieved within a couple of days. I haven't tried Alclad yet, so I have no comparison. It also seems to require sophisticated airbrush work to turn out it's best, an art I have never mastered. All things considered, I'm still inclined to prefer the services of Chrome Tech. Why change a working system?

Yay, an ashtray, cigarettes and a lighter! The basic life support systems are in place...

Is Alclad as good as plating, yes or no?

It's been a while since I saw a simple Jeep being built. Almost forgot how tasty they can be.

If it has an opening bonnet and an engine, it can't have been built from the snap kit, unless the builder performed some drastic plastic surgery on it. My educated guess is that it was built from the GC-1600 kit.

I'd say it requires a lot more balls to patrol unarmed.

I'd say you take a bigger risk getting back from work every evening.

You guys are so lucky. At least you have a hint of a chance. We don't:

OK, I'll put them on my wish-list for Santa.

Brilliant!

I also have every single issue of "Collectible Automobile" magazine and "Automobilia" magazine from France.

If those ruddy windows of this bloody Tamiya Jag MKII fail me one more time, I'll be having a right old fit of St. Vitus Dance, lemme tellyas.

I'm aware of them, but don't have any others. I'd be interested in his book on Fuel Altereds and I may get it sometime.

Yeah, sort of Tommy Ivo trailer size. Great work, sir!

You know what just occurred to me? Back then, toys actually were a depiction of real things. Not like today, where everything is in some way - how shall I call it? - infantilized? Gosh, look at those pics and compare it with what you find in a toy shop nowadays. You know what I mean.

I wanted to mentin this when you were asking about the Gasser book. I have a book called "Supercharged Gas Coupes" by Don Montgomery. I think that book may interest you.

Nope. That's called "8 cylinders with supercharger". It used to be cutting edge technology around 1925.
