I would like to add, a pulled lower back muscle and an issue of the darksides magazine's contest issue. (Sorry Gregg, no Model Cars mags over here yet.) Which, on page 63 you will see Raul Perez's Willy's gasser pickup and on page 67, Anthony Rios' 1/8 coupe. Good job guys!!

Ok I saw it in the year contest issue for last year.

HARRY, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! TELL US ITS REAL SO WE CAN HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks pretty good, keep them coming.

Great Job Raul, I remember that movie, its where he made the car take garbage instead of plutonium.

Man that thing is tiny, great job Bill!!!

I have seen this before. Whats your name? (suppose to be in your signature block anyway)

No pictures?

Got any pictures of this kit? I dont have any instructions, I just want to see it.

I got: File set Hamburger press hook and pic set small screwdriver set tweezers with magnifying glass magnifying head strap carving hobby knife digital 6 inch caliper and a stud finder

Meaning paint, body work etc. I enjoy the painting. I guess thats why I get ahead of myself and paint the body before I sit and think about what I want to do to it. Input welcome. Later,

Nice exhaust, but how will it fair against dragging on the ground?

The little one looks liks mine with the bruised forehead.

Hey George there he is.

Beautiful as always David, simply beautiful!!!!

Wow I comletely missed this one. I will be ready next week.

Awesome build Slim, as always.

I want something like this to be kitted so it can pull this.

Ok, since I do move about every 2 or 3 years, my models can take a beating in the process, I woul use the sprue to repair axles for say, one od my monster trucks, if the wheel broke off. Just simply drill out the wheel insert and drill out the axle, insert the shaped sprue to either, glue, and there ya go. And once I do retire or find something alot better for my family, I would like to do something like Georrge did with Smallville. I have parts from scrap builds that didnt go right, to some diorama peices, wheels and tires, engines. I also keep my instruction sheets in a drawer along with the decals if I dont use them, mainly if someone on here might need them.

I love all the builds, and like Bill especially that Stude. I have never had a model go so good. I wish they would reissue it. Along with some other Studebaker choices. Like, maybe a truck?

Well I usually throw the tree's away, maybe use some of them for other things. Spare parts get put in a parts box, to use in a diorama that I plan on building when I can stop moving around the country.

Would you be willing to part with that 53 Flip nose pick up?

Nice looking truck and trailer. I am on a trailer kick right know. Don't really know why though.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE, IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE. I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE, AND TO SEE JUST WHO IN THIS HOME DID LIVE. I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE, NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE. NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND, ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF FAR DISTANT LANDS. WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS, A SOBER THOUGHT CAME THROUGH MY MIND. FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY, I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY. THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE, CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME. THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER, NOT HOW I PICTURED A UNITED STATES SOLDIER. WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST R EAD? CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED? I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT, OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT. SOON ROUND THE WORLD, THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY, AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY. THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE. I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE, ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME. THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE, I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY. THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE, 'SANTA, DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE; I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE, MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS!' THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP, I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP. I KEPT WATCH FOR HOU RS, SO SILENT AND STILL AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL. I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT, THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT. THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER, WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE, WHISPERED, 'CARRY ON SANTA, IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.' ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH, AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. 'MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,! AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.'

WINTER BLONDE As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says "Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load." The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street. When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly, "Hi my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!" Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street. At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says "Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!" When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde. He knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says... "Hi, my name is Mark, it's winter in West Virginia and I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"
