Box Art historians, what's going on here ?
Eshaver replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That is where Budd Anderson first started, uh at Revell. he was a product designer for them and yes, A M T and revel, then still Gowland and Gowland were in a loose partnership . -
Very interesting ! I wasn't aware of a 78-79 F-100 ever being cast . I own a 78 Flareside myself and I used to own a 79 F-300 .

Ken, here in da lan dat time forgot, Richmond Va. we don't have any thing close to what you have . We have a Hobby lobby, provided you can fight the traffic out in the FAAAAAAARRR west end . it's akin to trying to switching lanes most times on I-40-trying to get off I-495 in D C or trying to get onto the I-5 in Los Angles .

Car Transporter Revell 1:25
Eshaver replied to Pavel A.'s topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
FINE job young man, keep up the GOOD work ! -
I asked Budd Anderson this very question way back in 1963 . Would you believe he actually wrote back wondering the same thing ? Yes, any construction / road building equipment is something I'd actually invest in . I bought the Ertil tractors when they got re -issued in the mid 90's . I bought a couple of Caterpillars too . I'd like to back date one of them. I just haven't done so yet . I even have access to older Caterpillars too............

need some advice on supplies..
Eshaver replied to tbill's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm cheap. Therefore it's the ole Frosted Cellophane tape . For Glue , uh Elmers and Ace 5 minute epoxy for windows and clear parts . I use Testors Model Master liquid as a base cement to do a joint . When the part requires Super Glue , I use either the Gorilla brand and Loc Tite . They both seem to do a decent job -

Eshaver replied to hobbybobby's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial

Good to know yer back Terry! -
Dan, you're correct ! The original 64 Corvette annual trailer was a single axle . I think it was modified for a couple of combination issues it showed up as a quad ................
-
Yes, that trailer only really saw action with the 1964 Corvette annual . It was actually an accurate trailer depicting a nicely built "Back Yard Job too".

1957 Chevy kit info needed please.

Is our hobby, growing or skrinking?
Eshaver replied to Chris White's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's a gamble , Yes . Interesting thought though .......................... -
James, I best see dese in Norfolk now ! Really nice stuff too.

Folks , that IMEX Cadillac is not an easy build . I built the H T myself an I consider myself to be a competent builder too. Everyone's work is so over the top here !!!!!!!!!! OUTSTANDING !

Richard, it already looks like a winner !

Eshaver replied to Chris White's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Someone earlier mention the hobby is becoming a Niche , I agree. As Harry posted , yes , fewer are buying . Me , I'm probably spending at least twice as much on a given build as a couple of years ago for a couple of reasons . One , stuff is costing a lot more . I'm also building a few pieces I thought were actually beyond my skills too. Combine that and the inflation , I've got a much larger expenditure than I had even two years ago .................
