I've ordered directly from Jimmy Flintstone's web site twice in the last couple of months. Other than the order confirmation at the time of submission, I received no correspondence, order just arrived about 3 weeks later. I am going to place a rather large order from him in the near future and will not hesitate to order from him in the future.

Lookin' GOOD! Please keep your post coming...

Received my copy of MCM #224 here in North County San Diego in the mail yesterday. I think this may be the best MCM issue to date!...

GREAT job! It is bitchen' to see a person of your age interested in cars and our hobby!... Now, go out and learn how to drive a stick- shift manual transmission!... ???

I'd bet that if you photographed that car setting in top of a flat-cut tree stump a lot of people would think it was helicoptered to the top of a monument rock in the Utah or Arizona desert...

Good lookin' workshop, Steve. Welcome to the community. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds!...

Welcome to the community, DJ. "I 'm finding that I really enjoy the journey more than the destination, in as much as kits go. So you'll probably see a hundred mock-ups or projects under construction, along with a bunch of ideas bouncing off the walls, but don't hold your breath waiting for a completed build." Your mock-ups and ideas can inspire the rest of us, so don't hesitate to add them to the "On The Workbench" section of the forum.

Without knowing it, :Michael "Mozzi" Moskov has been silently and relentlessly twisting my arm! I mean, if you're gonna have ONE kit on the bench, and the basics are the same kit, why not have TWO??? My entry for the THE OFFICIAL '32 TUDOR SEDAN BUILD-OFF! #2: EXTERIOR: 2021 Ford Bronco Blue Lightning Pearl N6/M7365 INTERIOR: Dark Gray POWER TRAIN: 392 Hemi From Revell '32 Ford 5 Window Coupe Kit 85-4228, 4-Speed Manual Transmission ENGINE COLOR: Metallic Black CHASSIS COLOR: Blue Lightning Pearl WHEEL DETAIL: American Racing Torque Thrust, Polished Spokes OTHER DETAILS:Full Fendered NOTE: I saw a newer Ford Bronco in my work parking lot that made me exclaim " That's a BITCHEN shade of BLUE!!!" It ends up that it is 2021 Ford Bronco Blue Lightning Pearl. Acquired the paint from PaintScratch.com, so here we go!...

I don't know if I should be posting this or not, but here goes: Revell USA (carrera-revell-toys.com) kit# 14553 for $23.99 US. No sales tax (charged to me in Southern California) FREE shipping on orders over $100.00. FAST service and shipping, SECURE packaging. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This last weekend (Memorial Day 2024) I placed on order for some paint from MCW. I didn't expect them to ship until after June 10, but they shipped Tuesday, May 28. Granted, these are all detail paints and not OE body colors that may need to be custom mixed, but again, I didn't expect them to fill and ship my order so quickly. GREAT service!

I'm in!

That is a GREAT idea, Mozzi! I do have a couple of the new release '32 Roadsters in my stash and I REALLY like the look of the fatter tires on the rear, plus this version fits my personal tastes more closely if I were building this as a 1:1 car. Thank you! BTW, the chassis will be the same black as the body...

Please let us know how your spoon tests turn out. Your choice of wheels and tires, IMNSHO, is MUCH better than those supplied in the kit, but then again, that was the 90s!... I bought this kit when it was originally release about 30 years ago and don't think I've ever peeled the plastic wrap from the box. It is packed up in storage with the rest of my long term stash. You're making me want to go dig it out and see what I can do with it, especially with the HUGE selection of aftermarket wheels and tires to choose from. Thank you for the inspiration!...

Welcome to the group, Gavinn. It is SO GOOD to see young uns who like working with their hands and also getting involved in our hobby. Looking forward to your contributions and comments...

Welcome to the forum, Carlo. Looking forward to enjoying your contributions. The Adriatic Coast sounds like a wonderful place to live!...

Welcome to the group, John. Great people here! I'm sure you'll have a ton of fun...

Not building for 50 years? Jeez, I thought I was bad!... Welcome to the community, Ken, it's good to have you back into the hobby! I'm looking forward to enjoying your contributions...

Welcome to the community, Zack. You'll find a LOT of inspiration here. I'll offer you a detailing tip... DON'T use sewing thread for spark plug wires like we did in the 60s and 70s!...

Welcome to the forum, Steve! Retired from Law Enforcement at 53? Were you on a 30 years and out program? Fishing and building model cars, what a life! I'll bet you're definitely earned it!... Enjoy!!!

Welcome to the community, Gilbert. I hope you get a ton of inspiration here!...

Welcome to the community, Doug. I'm sure you'll find lots and lots of inspiration by perusing the postings, I know I have!...

Welcome to the forum, Larry! I bought that AMT 1:16 '57 Chevy kit to rob the Cragar S/Ss from to use on my AMT 1:16 '57 T-Bird. Please let us follow your progress on this build. BTW, how 'bout posting a picture of your '30 Model A?

Welcome back to the hobby, Kent. I am also starting again after a much too long hiatus. Please show us the progress on your builds!...

Welcome back, Erik!
