I like the direction this is headed.

Nice work . That was a great price for this kit. The trailer is worth that easily. One of the kits my late brother built back in the day, because we like the old Jeeps here in the Toledo area.

I think it may be just whatever they have in the molding machine at the time. I have stripped chrome that was clear also. The black may also just be all the regrind because it is getting plated.

36 dollars to ship 9 kits is not bad at all. That is a big box even of you break them up in 2 boxes.

There are three Hobby stores in Toledo area. Two are in the burbs. One has had Moebius the others did not. It is farther than the other stores so I do not know if they still have them.

All good points Joe. The 2 AMT kits that I have that are different bodies than the box were purchased at swap meets so you never know. One is the 65 Chevy Wagon kit with the 63 Impala body ( other have posted about this problem) Made in 2000 in China. The other is a 62 Catalina kit (Chrome and windows only correct parts) with a 65 (?) 442 body and interior. Made in Mexico in 1998. I posted place of manufacturing and date just to show era of kit. It is what it is as they say know. Both opened way too late to do anything about it. Being that I purchased them at a swap meet not much I could do anyway.

I think all of those kits used the same molds for these tires. I am surprised that with as many of the trucks that used the tire back in the day we have not seen a good version. Have you check any of the Jeep kits? CJ-7 had them on them around here back in the day. Maybe the were just a local favorite in Toledo though.

Plain and simple, high end cars cost more. When you put new shocks on your Benz the price goes up. In the video they said what they were doing was a 27 hour job. Even if the shop rate was 100 an hour that does not add up to 21,000.

Fantastic

Wow these all look real.

Looks different and cool. NIce to get something finished.

At the very end did something fall off the car or did it run over something? Toyota is currently building a site across the street from my buddies farm to test driverless cars. Inside the former Dana test track. They are planning to start testing this fall.

Those also look like the large bales about 3 or 4 times the size of a standard bale. 200 to 300 pounds dry don't even want to guess wet weight.

At least you have the whole kit in the wrong box. I have 2 AMT kits that are half and half, Totally Useless.

This just made my day. NIce work .

More truth in this statement than we want to believe. LOL

Tom is this the Magazine you were referring to? https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/ If you can find a Model Engineering show in your area I suggest you check it out. There is one in the Detroit area in the spring ( March or April) that is a nice show.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is of mine.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the hobby.

Never had one of these. The school supplied our t square, protractors and triangles. But if you dropped equipment 3 times in a quarter you got a wack. This kept you on your toes and not turning around to BS to often. Again he was a great teacher along with being a good man. If you had a problem he was willing to talk to you and help you out with advice.

First days in drafting class were spent lettering Murphy's laws. Great teacher but he lover to watch us do this so many times over and over. You could not erase anything or leave smudge marks, no misspelled words and every comma in its place.. This was very hard for me as my penmanship is very bad.

Great Idea. Looks good.

This looks very good. I like the stock look of the paint and body.
