I need to look into distributes this book . Thanks for sharing it !

Here is the Monogram 1-24th scale Cord 812 convertible

Chuck, have you considered the remote possibility of opening your place to making the Homeless and abandoned Hudson museum ?

It's soooooo refreshing to see something pretty much outta the box and looking like something that really CAN be driven on the street .

Sam, I'm still constructing this one . I'm doing the Fire escape and already , people have asked me to bring this one to their automobile shows this summer !

Generally speaking , the Periclean Box stations you're referring to had the "Speed lines " around the top molded into tiles that were then adhered to the concrete block building . Now in the case of a Pre Fab Metal station , Shown in the 1st photo , the Speed lines were actually part of the exterior sheet metal

This project was requested by former co workers of the former Crossroads Coffee house that was in Richmond Virginia . in 1968, I was introduced to this place and in 1969, a YOUNG piano player by the name of Bruce Springsteen also showed unexpectedly . By 1969, I found myself on the board of Directors who oversaw this 1894 Queen Anne Victorian turned Parrish Hall. In 2015, at a Crossroads coffee house re union , I was asked , then pleaded to on Face Book to do this as a scale model . The coffee house may have closed in 1983 , but memories live on . I'm privileged to be the historian for the place and I'm able to share memories of Bruce's early garage bands and other assorted memories to everyone who is a rocker ....

Ha !!!!!!!!!!!!

My Gripe , Soooooo GLAD ya asked !!! Her ya go, "Sorry for the CRA--y pictures ! Hey look, if ya can post a picture here , ya can post a picture these OLD eyes can decipher what ya did ....

GREAT work Chuck !

Patrick, yes, Promos are still being made , abet FEW!!!!! I believe there MAY be a Corvette , , a Camaro and a couple of sports cars ....

Greg, a "Promo" is generally considered a 1-24th, perhaps a 1-25th model car , assembled of course that is , well WAZZZZZZ given out by automobile dealers to children . Now a days , dang things are sold as COLLECTABLES in the parts department .....

Going to my Olies is like an Alley dice game for me . I'll go , but ONLY if I need some cleaning supplies like a new broom .

To be honest , I don't know . I bought the kit new in 1965. I wasn't what one might define as an XR-6 fan . The Ford Model T touring roadster , well now , yes I like that and I have a built one . The Tognotti T , well, I would buy that one well before , but only to get the Early Ford Model T parts to do a stocker ....

I'd be HAPPY as a KID with dollas galore to have one of these back again ! I can say the kit went together very well and even when it was issued under the MPC label as a 1930 Woodie or a PU, the same can be said of those kits too .

Steve , George is on Faceless book quite a lot . I know when he's not at work, he's generally commenting on some diorama on my diorama group too. If you don't hear from him in a week, let me know and perhaps if it's not insane in my office , I can call him.

In addition, the 60 Chevrolet Brookwood wagon, early Corvairs , 1959 or 60 Mercury, 61-3 Ford F-100 , yep all of these !!!!!

I buy kits of subjects I actually "LIKE" , or want a copy of . I've been either on a Fixed income , or Self employed for years . Buying model kits became a luxury back in the early 2000's .

I'm not at all sure Gary. I'm primarily a diorama exhibit builder and seeing vendors and wholesalers going belly up certainly isn't boding well , especially for me . Hobbico leaving us has had a major impact upon me as K& S tubing , , Bass and balsa wood is no longer being restocked . I'm on indefinite BO with several other wholesalers . Round too it seems to still be ignoring my pleas to stop churning out the same TIRED 57 Chevrolet's and 32 Fords . At least Model King was Fresh meat with the Imperial , the Comet and a couple of others . I'm gonna go throw glue at another building I'm doing in preparation for a large fall show ....

Sorry, but I don't feel like joining YET ANOTHER Plastic model forum to see something , what a RIP .......

My suggestion is to look closely at Mr. Obsessive , Bill Gerry's work he did on the IMC Cougar II . Bill took a junk hinge and of course re worked it into something very usable and sturdy ....

VERY impressive !

Miles , all I can say and I'm NOT trying to be "Flip" but look at some anatomy art videos .....
