  1. For you maybe. I haven't got a clue, apart from that it is Farina bodied.
  2. Double whammy! You can reuse it next week for the Auto ID quiz.
  3. Right... ...and the complementing mourning car: I'll WALK to my grave, if those become compulsory.
  4. Found a mailorder business specializing in police car models: http://www.policecarmodels.com/ Thought it might be of interest for our more law abiding modellers.
  5. There is an article with many pictures here: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Chenot.htm
  6. I'd buy a casepack! And I want this and this and this and this and this
  7. My guess is also Hispano-Suiza. But I think it's later, 1938 or thereabouts. Possibly a J12?
  8. I strongly disagree that it is not as fancy as a Bluebird or Soarer.
  9. 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.
  10. Speak for yourself. I have only ever been on one side of this.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. It must be getting close to 40 years now. I probably should start learning how to do it eventually.
  14. http://public.fotki.com/JCole/model_box_art/amphicar.html
  15. A friend helps you move. A good friend helps you move a body.
  16. 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.
  17. Boyd frequently mentioned Buttera being one of his biggest mentors and influences.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. The Modelhaus makes some in resin.
  21. Can I please have a box of chromed sparks with it? And an aluminium magnet to attach it to the cylinder head skin?
  22. Heller sponsored a Paris - Dakar 11CV: ESCI sponsored a Fiat 131 which was campaigned in the Italian rally championship in the early Eighties.
