Your thoughts on "Contest Themes"
Eshaver replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've seen Mustang, Box Art , Tri five Chevrolet , too many more to list . I don't build for theme contests as I'm too busy doing commercial work . I enjoy photographing many of the entries though .... -
Bob , yes , most AMT kits of this era had the wire axles .......

1927 Ford Model T Dump Truck
Eshaver replied to Bobchayer's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
When I saw your "Tipper " , I was reminded of the company ! I built this company's Tank truck back in the very early 1990's as a display for a Hobby shop. I never saw another one of these until now . VERY WELL DONE JOB on something a lot of modelers wouldn't touch being as it's not plastic ..... -

1921 Ford Model T Flatbed Truck
Eshaver replied to Bobchayer's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I'm building a model of a 1921 Marland oil station that would be fine with your work along side in . I can see where you really took pride in the way the joints went together and that is impressive ! -
Hott Diggity dogg! I have been scared to death to assemble the one I got years ago because I wanted sooooooo bad to do a "Customized " Ford Flathead powered inboard . I also want a purely stock Chris Craft if I can ever find enough resources to do this one as a stocker too

Texaco gas station from Greenlight with old Mopars
Eshaver replied to Vietnam Vet67's topic in WIP: Dioramas
David , I refer to Foam Core as Foam Board myself and Heavens no I love anyone like yourself who can add energy into a conversation ! With that said , I just want to caution everyone in that you need to be careful as to what adhesives one uses ! If you adhere something to the Paper face , no worries ! However , BE VERY careful in that any Cynoaccrainate glue , uh Super glue to you in Rio Linda is DEATH!!!! Use either White glue or Epoxy . Now if ya'all need my help in doing small commercial structures like service stations and dines , let me know -

Eshaver replied to Vietnam Vet67's topic in WIP: Dioramas
Rod , no , I wasn't the one who provided the Blueprints . They were posted here in this area via another member . I'm happy to send tiy dimensions in a P-M . I tried several years to get people at the magazine to at least look at doing this station and was IGNORED . -

Eshaver replied to Vietnam Vet67's topic in WIP: Dioramas
Mark , you too David . the money you're going to waste on the MRC station can be well spent on enough Foam core to d something a sight more accurate and much better quality wise . Mark , I'm surprised at you especially because we have had this very same discussion on the phone as well as here . Ya'all wanna throw away a hunnert , fine . I offered this very same plan to Greg years ago and I was ignored then and I have no doubt , I'll be ignored now too. Any time ya'all want me to do a tutorial on building small commercial buildings , let me know . I'm about to do TWO buildings in 1-24th scale for a invitational show in November 2018 . One is a three story Victorian built i 1906 , the other , a Triangular service station built 1921 . -
Florence got heavily damaged as a result of improper packing last year at the Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens miniatures show in Richmond Virginia . As it stands , the whole thing will now have to be re built . Hopefully , I can have this re built by October 2018 as I have been invited back to participate in the show .

Nice work chuck. Now if you want to dress the window frames out , I usually use EverGreen styreene strip . The best glue to use is a Clear epoxy . As for gluing a corner , you can usually sue a catalyzed Automobile filler there .

"Holy Grail" Models?
Eshaver replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Bill, I wont say the Aurora 1934 Ford is a Holly Grail , but I would LOVE to own a martin & Schwartz gasoline pump like the one in the back ground . The kit itself really was a nice offering and I guess , along with the Studebaker Avanti, were some really well ahead of the pack kits in 1966..... -
"Holy Grail" Models?
Eshaver replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was given a partly built one of these by member Mark Orr. I still am in search of a complete kit or at least the Rear bubble top to complete the one I have . -
This so called Chevrolet Apache was first released in 1999. I'm still REELING from that one . I just acquired a 1963 ORIGINAL and because of the squirrels at RC Champions , none of the grille , bumpers , etc will fit . Meanwhile , I just hope you enjoy the mis-mash of pieces that comprise this thing ..........
