    I strongly disagree that it is not as fancy as a Bluebird or Soarer.

    Your marriage.

    I mark all of my models. But only with my name and the year I built/restored it. I write it on the inside of the bootlid.

    Speak for yourself. I have only ever been on one side of this.

    Snatched this AMT '59 builder off the bay not too long ago for surprisingly little money: I paid about 20 Dollars for it. They are not too uncommon, so this may be your best bet if you don't like the Monogram 58, like I do.

    If that kind of stuff makes you ill, then never ever go near an English Banger Racing track. Among MANY other classics, I saw a James Young bodied Bentley and a Jaguar XK 150 being smashed to bits. And yes, that's an Alvis TA 21 getting blitzed by the Bentley.

    It must be getting close to 40 years now. I probably should start learning how to do it eventually.

    It's been a while, but I think I nicely overcame my cold plastic turkey. and the King of the haul: All those kits wre bought in a model shop in a little village in Lancashire last Sunday.

    Boyd frequently mentioned Buttera being one of his biggest mentors and influences.

    I never found it easier to reply to a thread. My dream model kit? I have quite a few - all kits I don't own yet.

    John Buttera passed away March 02 2008, five days after Boyd Coddington. His death was so overshadowed by Boyd's that hardly anybody took notice. I was rather appalled by that fact.

    The Modelhaus makes some in resin.

    Can I please have a box of chromed sparks with it? And an aluminium magnet to attach it to the cylinder head skin?

    Heller sponsored a Paris - Dakar 11CV: ESCI sponsored a Fiat 131 which was campaigned in the Italian rally championship in the early Eighties.

    I toyed with the idea of altering a Doyusha Honda 1300S. I bet our friends from Finland could actually do it. The real car is right up with a BMW 02 or Alfa Giulia performance-wise. The 'Sprint' version is actually faster than both. But contrary to them, it never got their cult-status, hence I'm afraid it will always be ignored by the model industry.

    It's a Triumph Dolomite 1500 HL.

    That Lark is just uber-kewl. My next favourite is that orange coupe. What is it with me and 'bakers lately?

    I have collected car chases and crashes from movies and TV shows on video for 30+ years. As a result, I have ca. 70 hours of solid crashing without any boring stuff spoling them. Makes superb entertainment.

    They just don't make car chase movies like H. B. Halicki did anymore.

    I can't remember. It was either this: or this: But I well remember my third one, which was this:

    I'll never eat again. Ever.

    Unfortunately 'Junkman' is very often taken already, so I have to come up with a different one. I then usually use my 'real' name, which I don't use in 'normal' life - Baron von Zach. Yes, I am the 17th Baron von Zach.
