Merry Christmas to all. I hope it's everything you wish it to be. Obligatory loot pic:

Cool gadget. I love gadgets !

OOOOOHHHHH !!!

Beast of the highest [lowest ??] order.

Thanks, Lyle

Those are resin gift shop/mail order display pieces. There's 12 in the set IIRC.

The 'Little Red Deora' was a build I gave to Larry Alexander [of the Alexander Bros. car customizers, creators of the Deora]. I have LOVED the Deora since I got the Hot Wheel of it as a kid. Larry is in our model club. He and I have built up a good rapport since I joined the DMCC. He heard I built a wheelstander of the Deora and asked to see it. I told him i'd give it to him IF he traded some old memorabilia from the A Bros shop from the old days. He gave me a couple cool things including an old hand-made panel shaping tool he's 'probably' [Larry is now 76 years old] used on the Deora when it was built back in the day. Best Christmas ever !!

The devil you say..... !! :twisted:

I bought a piece a couple years back. Glad I did.

Our club runs the model contest at Autorama. Stop and say hello!

MOSTLY Talk Radio. I'm a big fan of Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez on XM Satellite Radio.

Hmmm..........before he was really big, racer Ron Fellows was a customer in my store ..... he gave me the tour of his Trans Am pit at The Detroit Grand Prix. Used to be a big autograph hound in the 70's & 80's. Met LOTS of racers and hockey players. Larry Alexander of car customizers The Alexander Brothers of Detroit is in my model club. STILL building! He's even given me a tool from the old shop and claims he "Probably used it on the Deora..." I was an acting student in the early 90's at Second City in Toronto. I met various SCTV performers including Eugene Levy and Martin Short. I met Steve Hinson.

I don't super detail, so no for me.....BUT I think those are EXTRA COOL !!

Grail? Nothing right now. A JOB would be nice though.... :roll:

CA/SuperGlue, Tamiya Liquid Cement, Tenax, and Humbrol Clear Fix all on the bench here and usually 3 of the four get used. Tenax is used least.

DownRiver Model Car Club meets THIRD Friday of every month in Dearborn. Bunch of 40's and 50 year olds mostly, but all are welcome!

Few more bits done..... INCLUDING these lovely Marc Nellis 18" Chevy Rally wheels [resin] on the California Wheels 66 Chev Wagon tires.

Gray interior. Needs texture & washes.

Ford in their infinite wisdom re-launched some nice vintage colors for the Mustang...... I thought i'd do the same. Testors/MM Auto Colors GM Citrus Yellow Metallic over Tamiya Silver Leaf with clear applied. Follow progress here http://public.fotki.com/predmond/model_car...concept-camaro/

Thanks, Bill. Saved.

....and you won 'Perry's Pick' for your cool chopped 39 Chev. :!: :!:

Thanks, Bob!

Thanks guys. Someone is sending me a pillar with a bit of roof material attached for the repair.

Yep, it would be fine.
