Here are a couple of photos showing The Boston Whitehall Tender, from a Midwest wood model kit, that I built for my wife’s office a few years back. Joe

Now that is really nice and sure fits the model theme. Nice wheel choice, too, for the build. Joe

Nice work! ? Joe

Welcome to the forum, Pasquale! Thanks for sharing the photos of your very nice models. I enjoyed looking at the detailed workmanship displayed. Joe

This is really nice ?. Joe

I like the finish on this model, looks to enhance the car instead of being too shiny for the era. ? Joe

Looks good with your color choice. Joe

Thanks! This is interesting information that you have shared with us. Joe

Nice tip! ? Joe

Welcome to the forum, Steve! Joe

Oh...those. Just something I added so it would look like the spring would stay together as a unit. Joe

Bringing the Christmas decorations up from the basement and setting the tree up. And looking forward to seeing the holiday CD's again! Joe

Those body dollies are really nice! ?

Mike, I am not sure what you are referring to as bumper pad however I went down to the bench and took some photos to show what I am doing with the front axle. May not be scale but I like it so far. Joe

I believe he knew what my thoughts were regarding the situation when we left the store. If not it’s a moot point now as I most likely won’t be shopping there for kits. And, I got to thinking about this when I was at the bench this evening; he may well have done me a favor. I looked around the shop and there’s at least 150 plastic kits/projects including car, truck, aircraft and ships. Plus another 8 wooden ship kits and a number of wood aircraft projects. I really don’t need anymore kits at the age of 72 years. Heck, as slow as I build I probably won’t be able to build the kits that are in my shop now. Just depends on how one looks at it I guess; I definitely didn’t care for his attitude but then again the outcome of his brush off might work out for the best after all. Joe

Eye catching for sure! ? Joe

Nice to see another ‘36 Ford coming together. I have an original issue AMT ‘36 Ford Roadster on my bench that I am using parts from other kits on to replace ruined or missing items and do the build. Hope you find all the parts you need for your build. It’s fun to work on the old plastic and give them some more “life”. Will be watching your build. Joe

I would be a very happy buyer if the Classics returned. Joe

Just had another interesting experience at the HL in our area that makes me want to think twice about stopping by again. Yesterday, after a late afternoon lunch, my wife and I went to HL to check for new kits. They hadn't been put on the shelves yet though the kits came in Wednesday morning. While talking to a kit knowledgeable employee the manager came over and told the guy to go to another part of the store and then just walked away. The employee and I were not pleased with the way he did that. I saw another employee that I knew and when I inquired about the new kits we both thought it would be better if I came back today and took a look. Today, no new kits on the shelves and full stock boxes on the floor. The manager was one aisle over putting up new stock. When asked if there were any new model kits he just looked at me and said he didn't know. The stock shipment papers were about three feet away in the open and he would not look to see what had come in, even though he was using the paperwork for pricing new stock. Told us to just come back later and look. We had already made two 24 mile round trips and he thought little of telling us to do it again. When he was standing there where everything was. Nice attitude for a manager to display to a customer. And no, I did not purchase any new kits while we were there. Joe

Looks great! Joe

I like this truck build! Well done ?. Joe

Hot Dang...I sure do like this color! ? Joe

Nice looking paint! ? Joe

Nice start! ? Joe
