Look into fusee chain. It comes in different sizes, and one will probably be right for your needs.

Congrats! Nice work space. Now the room will get some proper use. 😉 As Bill said, lots of light. If you are spray painting in that nice room, time to think about your spray booth set up. If your model room is anything like mine, it will be in a constant state of development, shaping itself over time, accommodating new equipment and new shelving & storage requirements, etc, etc. It's never ending. Have fun.

When I hear of a Revell VW, I think of the old tooling that has been around since the sixties. Clearly this is not that. How long has this kit been around, and is it a Revell tool? Anyway, things are looking good. The added engine details really bring it to life.

Cool style on this one, Brian. I dig it.

Fine looking Mercedes. Nice work. It's great to see the oldies posted. I have long been curious about this kit. I see it builds up very nicely.

Nice save on a cool and rare old kit. Looks great. I dig the colours, especially the green on the chassis. I have some remnants of one of these lurking in my parts box, including the tires. I like the rear tires, and always kept an eye out, but don't think I've seen them in any other kit.

That's one sweet looking Buick, Jim. That orange makes it sizzle.

Good looking Oldsmobile, Bob. Well done.

That Mercury Montclair is a sharp looking car.

I detect a distinct hint of logic in this post. The government will have no truck with that.

Saw this today at the hobby shop, if it's any help.

Not only is it perfectly acceptable, it is applauded. Welcome to the forum, Liam. Sounds like you have some model building ahead of you. This is a great place to get back into the groove. Enjoy.

But Bill, it's the Canadian federal government that is making this decision. The government, Bill! Our steadfast and fearless leaders. The omnipotent and all-knowing. Surely, they must know if kits are toys... don't they? Bill? Don't they? 😉 .

I would agree with this. I have attended Barrett Jackson auctions, and I was amazed at how many of the cars crossing the block were just nasty flips with cheap, hasty repairs and shiny paint. Many were not at all what they appear to be when viewed on TV.

Yup, I know the Brubaker. When I was a kid I thought this thing was crazy cool. Even had a picture of one on my wall at one point. I never knew much about them, though so it was good to watch the video. Got to dig the ice chest in the dash. Didn't realise they made so few of them. The ingress and egress is nuts; how inconvenient is that.

Rather than toys, they are my therapy. I propose that kits are therefore medical supplies, their purchase is a medical expense, and should be covered by my healthcare plan. I'll be calling my Member of Parliament in the morning to sort out the details.

Yeah, it seems pretty clear there is little in common with the two bodies. One of those Grandes and a Revell Boss or Mach 1 would make a cool kitbash.

That's interesting, Rex. I always assumed it, simply based on the fact that both are Grandes. I've built the funny car as a kid, but I have never actually seen one of the Revell Grande/convertible kits in person.

I always enjoy checking out your builds, Charles. Very nice old Cat. Your work in an inspiration.

Good to see you back at the bench, Francis. Those wheelie bars are looking the biz.

Wow, Jim, lots of good stuff happening in this thread. Good looking dragster, and that paint work pops. I'm really impressed with your printed parts. They make a huge improvement.

Nice looking truck, Calvin. Good detailing under the hood. Looks cool with the fruit crates in the back.

Looking really good, John. Nice detailing and tidy work. Very nice looking paint, too, and double points for first airbrush job.

Really digging the '64 Galaxie wagon.

Cool variety there.
