Harry, I'm going model this week. Rick in Richmond

Irv, I've been following your build up. All I can say is ... THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE SWEEEEEEEET RIDE!!!!! Rick in Richmond

Harry, Lots of little things say real to me. Bottom gap on door just looks a little too real to be reproduced in scale (shadows etc.). I was one of the lucky 6 last week. We'll see how I do this week. Thanks for RoM!! Rick in Richmond

Hey George is that YOU?? This is Rick. Glad to see you here. We have got to find a way to get some of us refugees together to talk models. Things have been alittle crazy for me since the ODO. I'll get ahold of Gene and see if we can come up with a time to all sit down together. Rick in Richmond.

Hey Clay!... Way cool build!! Why not use the Potvin front mounted blower and induction system on the Stude motor. That would make the Stude fans happy and you still get a MEGA-COOl looking motor that stays under that super slippery hood. Just my opinion. Rick in Richmond

Hey All, I have found that the older the sheet gets, or is when purchased, the less sticky the adhesive is. Picked up a sheet at a show once that was perfectly flat and looked great, but would not stick a bit. The guy I goy it from took great care of it, apparently for years. The folks at BMF have also told me these same things in conversations with them. The older the sheet the less adhesion it will have. So it's hard to blame the makers when we can't always tell how long a vendor or LHS has the stuff in their stock. Rick in Richmond

Can't say with 100% accuracy, but it looks like a 32 Chrysler Coupe or there abouts. Rick in Richmond

Hey Ben, Definitely would be cool to meet up with some folks from the forum. Look me up in the vendors area. Rick in Richmond

Hey Donn, Good to hear from ya. Sorry you won't be there. We did have a good time last weekend! You cleaned up with the awards too! Hope to see you in May at the MAMA'S boys show in Baltimore. Rick in Richmond

Show is this Saturday, March 7th, at the Roanoke Civic Center. I'll be there as a vendor selling off some of the kits that I'll never live long enough to build. Couple of buddies from Chesterfield are coming with. Hope to see and or meet some of the folks from here on the forum. Rick in Richmond

THis Saturday March 7th. Roanoke Civic Center Model show and swap held in conjunction with the MDA Car Show. 2 floors of automotive bliss. I''ll be there selling off some of the kits that I'll never live long enough to get built. Rick in Richmond

Ditto !!! To what Bob "ZOOM ZOOM" Downie said. Subject has to mean something to me. Rick in Richmond

Harry, I'm going model on this one. Rick in Richmond

Gary, Enjoy that sweptside pick-up, it would have ended up at the next modelswap. Somebody would have tried to offer me some junk for it, so I'm glad you will do something cool with it. Giving you that one has spurred me to finally finish mine too. Have fun with it!! Rick in Richmond

Hey Bud, Great shots! You guys play hard! That speed boat ROCKS! Where did the seats in that thing come from? They look maybe scratchbuilt or resin. Could you let us know? If they are resin where can we all get some? Thanks, Rick in Richmond

15 out of 20. That was a lot of fun.

Alright Harry, I'm going against the flow on this one..... REAL!! Rick in Richmond

Harry, I'm not holding my breath waiting for those plans, but I am putting a lock on what little bit of wealth I do have, to keep those guys from trying to share mine with someone else. WHOA!!!! That just got real wierd. No politics, Rick. No politics, Rick. JUst have a great Birthday! Rick

Welcome back brother. You will love it here. Great family. Definitely share some pics of your drag stuff, as that's my bag too. Rick in Richmond

Happy Birthday!! Harry! Hope you have a great one. Hey maybe our new Prez will send you some of the shared wealth But seriously, enjoy your day. Hope you get some new stuff to play with. Rick in Richmond

O.K. Harry, First time with this. Seems very REAL to me. Rick in Richmond

Don't know who built it, but it's BAAAAAD! Looks like they used a chassis, cage and running gear out of an old monogram pro-stock kit ( shortened maybe) and set an AMT blazer body down over it. Killer paint and decal work. Rick in Richmond

Hey Ed, I'm also out here, hiding in the Richmond suburbs. I have lots of room to keep stuff hidden. Maybe start a modelling survivors camp. Start stock piling those 1/25th scale weapons from all those old kits. We may need them when the G-men (glue-men) come for us! Rick in Richmond

I agree with you! Build for yourself and to please yourself. If you build to please someone else, that turns it into a job. Your imagineering is great, many of my builds are full of unreal stuff. But like you, I only build to please myself. Rick in Richmond

I like to try and do some modeling whenever I can find a few minutes. Lately i have been using my lunch hour at work to take care of the little things on a kit ( sanding, filing, puttying, etc.) It's a ggod way to kill the other 40 minutes after I finish eating. Then when I get home, if the little woman has no demands I try to sneak in some quality time. Rick in Richmond
