lakeville just south of burnsville. most of my time growing up was spent in minneapolis.I first saw that dio in the 89 contest annual which was about when I got "serious" about models and discovered the magazines which opened up a whole new world.for some reason that particular dio captured my attention it's always been one of those that I wanted to emulate.btw I wasn't sure where exactly the picture was but I found it in the first book I looked in and boy at that contest there were alot of heavy hitters. at least alot of guys that were doing top notch work.well keep up the good work talk to you later

kinda strange...I usually sell or give away most of the models I have built, but still have the origional instruction sheets for'em all

thank you very much ,now I can move on with my life.well maybe..... now I need to find another one to build perhaps as an auto transporter like the european race teams used in the 50's and 60's or a tow truck or a camper or a missle launcher or or or dang maybe I need more than 1 more.oh I forgot the obvious choice box stock you know for posterity. thanks again for your help. btw the racers wedge fits on the back almost perfectly.

See this is what I'm talking about it looks like a gm or maybe a dodge or aaarggghh if you have to guess about what year would this truck be my initial guess was mid 60's but then I think maybe earlier .

the first thing I do is figure out a way to make the model so complicated that it will never be completed .or I just start with the major sub assembilies which allows me options of working on whichever area suits my fancy. I save the painting for last if it requires alot of bodywork if it is a straight forward build painting the body early on helps keep the motivation up.

<img src="http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii123/randx0/models031-1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> can any one tell me what this truck is .the kit is pretty basic I just want to see or at least know what the prototype looks like thanks in advance for your help

I think it's brilliant. sure beats moving a wire hanger around and despite your best efforts have the piece fall off .

thanks I don't get to see what goes on under the fifth wheel very often.it looks like a fun project,I'll have to build a truck one of these days.

kits I'd like to see, early bronco stock and racing versions,any sixties vans (corvairs too),daytona coupe priced under $100,early sports cars,Ol'yaller any and all, 57 buick, 57 chevy convertible,1/25 motorcyles ,hudson hornet,chevy suburbans,four wheel drive trucks,a 70's baja bug with real racing parts,one of those big dakar trucks,pikes peak hill climbers,a garbage truck,school bus,greyhound bus,tucker torpedo,50's packards,winnebago,79' thunderbird,a stock delorean,77'seville,stock 84'thunderbird,an ambulance,the cars from death race 2000,vintage indy cars,jeep x-100,1955 L'universelle,69 amx II,vw thing,boat tail riv,current go cart , pull behind campers big ones little ones airstream ones,actually I would like to see more stuff related to cars or car situations like they did with the gangbuster series only not so violent I liked the guitar in the magnum and the food tray in the 55 chev that stuff is kind of fun to discover .But number 1 and 2 on my want list 1 64 ford galaxie and B a late seventies dodge d-50....Just kidding on those last two.

I just happened to be re boxing my stash today .it's funny how you forget that you had that one already or that's where that one went. I know I won't build them all which is a good thing because I haven't found a display case that big.I'm also glad that I'm not the only one with such an overabundance of kits.

just when I thought I was off of youtube they drag me back in ...
