Gregg

This makes Gregg a Happy Camper! Rick, Terry, and Steve, you guys are da bomb! Thanks for carrying on some great products, and creating new ones. I take it of course, I will be the first to review the new stuff? Rick, email me please, I have to ask a question on some SD stuff gregg@modelcarsmag.com

I will close this thread now. Thank you very much!

David who?

I don't own a T.V. so this is the only "entertainment" I get...

I was going to mention Alan also I just got some more of his samples, and oh my gosh! This guy is good. I would love to get a great web site for Alan up and running. The quality is top of the line And I see them all!

I printed a Best Of a couple of years ago. It was three pages, I think Maybe time for an update?

Yeah, right! They wouldn't even accept an ad from eModelCars, and that's completely separate, no mention of MCM at all!

I got the contract back from Ala Moana Hotel. Got three cases of Make n Take kits from Revell. Ad going in next issue of MCM. Think I should try advertise in the Dark Side?

Thanks, Guys! And Les, I'm never too busy to talk to friends. Don't hesitate or worry about butting in, we are one big ohana Paul, thanks for putting a name to a face for me.

I just checked files It was the Aug/September issue Have to call the office for back issues.

That was the month after the show, I'm pretty sure What, a month after the show, not eight months later? No way! And with an actual story about the show. OH MY GOD!!!

I'll do that. Ariel is driving me around though That's been an experience It's a bigger show than when you were here last They need a bigger room

I will try to post pics as of 1:30 p.m. They should be at: Puerto Rico Pics Izzy says hello to everything Or should I say Hola!

Revell graciously sent their new 1/8 scale Big Tub for a quick look before this classic kit hits the shelves, so I asked Rich Robertson and Chris Delfico to give their two cents on the kit. They will both be doing building reviews of the kit for the next issue. Thanks, guys! It’s great to have club members who are willing to jump in and help out. Gregg Rich: The kit is virtually unchanged from the classic issue. The only significant change is the wheels and tires, which are lifted off of the current Big T reissue. The original kit used a solid tire, and we now have the thin rubber hollow tire with whitewall inserts, and steelies as an option. I like the flame decals and I will probably use them on my version of this build. The original Big Tub decals are included for those that want to go “back in time!” I will be using the five-spoke rims and will not go with the whitewall look, they'll be painted black. The inclusion of the pickup bed seems like a waste of plastic, but it was probably easier to just use the same sprue, as many of the parts are common to the Big T. It shares the same chassis and rims as the recent T-Bucket kit. This kit today replicates the original Big Tub, with some additions from the newer T-Bucket release. I’m really happy that the parts came clean from the old molds; there is basically no flash on the parts. Included in the kit are clear fuel lines and ignition wiring. However, there are no spark plugs, as were in the old kit. One thing I don’t like about the exhaust system is that the back side of the pipes are hollow, and if you are a judge at a contest, this is one thing you will notice right away! The seats and seat belts are original pieces, with nice sixties-style buckles. With the exception of the slicks, there are no competition-style accessories in this kit. A tonneau cover would have been a nice addition. The new pinstriping decals are different from the original kit, and I was pleased to find the “flying eyeball” included. The decal sheet also includes a choice of either black or white dash instruments, as in the original kit. I really like the cycle fenders. I will be using these on my build. The fact that the entire suspension and drivetrain is chrome will make this an easy build for an out-of-the-box model for some. Chris: I agree with what Rich says. It would have been nice to see the old stanchions, tools and other accessories that were included in previous versions of this kit, as opposed to the extra plastic used for the pickup bed. I will be building mine as an old rat rod, using the white walls, kind of like the version on the box. Thanks for this opportunity, Gregg.

I will get review tonight of it

I hope mine's on it's way! I just got the Big Tub. See post in Reviews. I'm getting bit again by the big scale bug I'm thinking, Big Tub, TDR Offy and 9", some kind of different front grille, chopped windshield, Bob Dudek rims and front end, MCM Buick front drums, maybe get that new resin guy, Alan Raab, to do some big boy tires? hhhhmmmmmm...... Sorry Harry, I know, back to work..... yes boss...
