Just so you know my game or TV have not been on in over 10 years. If you watched me play any of the 80's games on Williams greatest hit you would understand why. The reason I picked it up was to be able to play the games I liked to play in the arcades back in the day. Yes I still suck, and that TV is as big as a Smart car.

Well, my tv is/ was a rear projection 52". Is it a Smart TV nope, not even digital. Have not turned it on in a looooooong time. It has been moved closer to the door so I can take it apart to get it out the door. My game system I bought new and is the original XBox. I can't call it retro because well I bought it new. Yes the eyebrows raise when collectors here what I have, not sure why. But it is not for sale.

Nice work.

Time to put in your favorite christmas movie, or an old western that has a snow storm in it.

The good mews for us Plastic junkies is that they trying to get them to different stores.

My tooling is almost 60 years old also, i am sure there are problems that pop up daily.

With the amount of good truck modelers that want parts he may be blown away with orders in no time flat. I wish him the best and a long time in the business.

I have read if you have the newer showers ( mine is closer to 60 plus) and are worried about scratches as Bill makes a great point of bringing up, you can put paper towels along the bottom and spray with bleach water mix. Mine is to old to try this with. The ex liked to use the toliet bowl cleaner that was thicker and not just watered down bleach. She is gone so I can't ask her how the long term worked out. .

Looks great. Color choice is very fitting. 30 plus years ago a couple friends of mine restored one of these. Very cool little cars. I should have asked for a ride when It was done.

Very cool. Paint looks like it should on an old box delivery truck.

Justin do you also sell online or strickly just at your shop? Great information. I tried to offer the local Hobby Town a chance to sell older kits from my stash but he was not even interested. I didn't want to put them on the shelf just get a want/wish list from shoppers.

Pretty cool Looks like a designer left Pontiac for Dodge. Not a bad thing.

Isn't there a monthly swap down your way in Ohio? Should be plenty of 40 Ford parts there. I seen the ad on Facebook Marketplace once. Just north west of Dayton..

In the 1970s and early 1980s there was a custom Vette craze going on in the car world. Straight off of the kit car to dune boggy world of fiberglass customs. That first Pic looks to be hand picked per the owners tastes.

I have been to a few of the Model Engineering shows that were held in Michigan and Ohio. Always worth the price of admission. The show in MI has a swap meet area for parts and tools.

The gold leaf looks better than the paint

Frank needs some led lights added to his eyes. Or maybe just buttons for eyes.

Always nice to see an E type done right. I find it strange they molded this kit in red, did they think it was a Ferrari? Even those are not all red.

Congratulations Per my older brother who waa born on the 21 you get screwed over. You never get to have your day. Our older sister was born 0n the 4th of Jan (yes they are true Irish twins born in the same year) says the same thing about Birthday parties. I tell them to get over it.

I would say start on the easy part on outside of the brick and just keep turning it as you go. Patients will help you. Don't ask me how I know. Oops. I used sprue cutters on my miss adventure. They were not the problem. Parts look great.

One of the 3d printers need to scan a body and print away .

Is this the correct roof to turn the 67 Chevelle into I believe it is called the 300?

The above book is one of the best sources for release dates of kits to show age. If you think your going to get modern quality from the last 20 to 30 years out of a 40 to 60 year old tool think again. These were not made to be nothing more than a Promo at the start.
