Congratulations. I need some upper cabinets for my shop.

That is looking so cool.

Sorry, Tom. I have no idea how do the side scoops - that's why I'm so anxious to see how you do it. How about maybe Evergreen tubing? Thin the wall with an Xacto knife and then split it in half? I don't buy kits just to get a part from it.

Unreal and looking fantastic.

I was wondering what happened to this project. I was (am) very interested in the side scoops and am looking forward to seeing more progress, Tom.

The whole build looks terrific. Can't wait to see it "under glass".

Excellent job! Love those chubby cheeks. Best of luck to you and your family.

Looks like you have something good going on there, Kane. Further updates should be interesting and welcome to the forum. I see the seats, but what do you mean "striped with black sprue"? And how did you do it?

Welcome, Rob. This is a terrific place to be.

I use Ken's Funny Fur that I get from Scale Dreams with straight Elmer's white glue. Of course, the area to be flocked is first painted in a color similar to the selected flocking. The flocking is applied through a fine strainer onto the wet glue and pressed with a fingertip. I wait about 30-60 minutes and shake the loose stuff off and gently brush away any other excess. I should have said that I sit the interior on a clean sheet of paper and do the shaking/brushing over the paper. All the excess then goes back into the little plastic container.

Beautiful!

Terrific paint. The dio looks good too!

Thanks for the info guys. I'm planning to go to Ocala in the morning to check out Rob's Hobby World, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby.

You wouldn't happen to have that article around somewhere that it could be scanned or copied and emailed or snail mailed to me would you, Eric? Or post it here on the forum?

Thanks Peter. And Merry Christmas to you too.

Are you going to finish the inside of the trailer and make a diorama thing out of it? There's a good post on here somewhere (I don't search so good) about making a hitch receiver for the truck if you don't have one already.

I was thinking about trying to make a cowl induction hood by cutting slits in the hood, bending the plastic up, and use some Evergreen to fill the sides. Does that make sense or is there a better way?

What's the deal with snap kits? I've never bought one. Are they just like a regular kit but you don't use glue? Do they have seperate interiors and engines?

Merry Christmas, Wayne. I'd like to share a story with you. Back in 1968 when I enlisted in the Corps, my folks joined the Marine Parents of America. They got together monthly to talk about their sons and make care packages to send us. For Christmas of 1969, they sent us all decorated Christmas trees - about 24" tall. When my family got together on Christmas Day, they made tape recording of the party. My one cousin Carol (she was 7 or 8) had received a keyboard from Santa and she played the Marine Corps Hymn. We got the tree and tape at our basecamp, set it up and played the tape. Every year since then, I set up my little tree. It's still in the original box and all the decorations are original. Then I play that Marine Corps Hymn. As tears stream down my face, I remember the kids who weren't fortunate enough to make it home alive. SEMPER FI, Brother.

Excellent job, Curt. If Sherrill doesn't like it, just tell him I'll come get the model and the 1:1.

Looks pretty good.

BMF, black semi gloss paint, 4 sets of Pegasus wheels/tires, PE wire looms, a whole bunch of HOK paints, and a Katherine Jenkins CD.

Hope everyone will have a safe and joyous holiday.

Michaels emailed their weekly coupons for December 26, 2010 through January 1, 2011 and it's for 50% off any one regular price item. I guess I'll be taking a ride next week. Merry Christmas everyone.

Isn't that an old, old, old kit? I think I remember it from the late '50s or early '60s. This a reissue?
