This is a nice hall. Not sure if your wallet is still smoking or not but you better check it. Really like that Ranchero

Another fan here. Looks great.

Very cool. Wood looks great and the right color choice.

Beryllium copper (BECU) is the name of the metal that was used for molds back in the day. This metal is great for heat sink and cools the plastic faster than Steel of Aluminum. BECU also has a high wear resistance compared to Aluminum. That is how the molds from those 60's kits are still in use because they were not made of Aluminum. It has been written in Scale magazines than the 1915 (Or whatever year that rare kit is) Chevy was made from Aluminum because they only needed a few kits and not 1,000's of them. When they were done with that run the molds were junk.

Yes, thank you for posting. Very nice work.

A few questions Barry. What years would this cab be used for. I think you said 53 to 66 A good range of years for truck builders. Was the same frame used for this truck and other model numbers? So if they built a different model could they use the same frame for a different truck with little change. Just a new cab and tires and wheels How many different models from Mack used the same parts? Frame and Cab just a different nose maybe. Give them examples of what the truck would be used for other than over the road tractors.

Very cool.

Nice work on this Stock T.

Awesome

Did you locate some wheels yet? I can look here if you didn't find any.

That Mustang is cool. You can use the newer Mustang kits if you want a better chassis and engine.

If Little Jonny did all of the work to create the printed object why not call it SCRATCH PRINTING. He started from scratch until the part came out of his printer. Every step to produce a printed object is a skill. Just like taking a piece of plastic and shaping it into a part. Every step is a skill. These two forms of creating a part have different skills, for sure. But to discount the skill, is a bit much.

Took a long lunch from work at stopped by Hobby Lobby and grabbed a couple of the Bronco kits. This weekend I will open it up for a good glance inside. That sure is a large box for such a small model kit. Must have some nice goodies inside.

Very Cool Chuck.

That is awesome.

Thank you for posting this Tim. They were great hosts of the NNL.

Looks Great Ken. I am glad you posted these.

This looks great.

Looks great. Another nice model from your bench.

Well done, Bob. Color and wheels sure make this look great.

That is very cool.

Once again, I am floored by your subject matter and results. Always a joy to watch a master at work.

This week I stopped into an Ollies by my house. The Alexis and Lewis store location and the had 3 cases of the Rat Fink Trucks along with several boxes of trailers. First, I had seen any at that location when I stopped in. My guess is that any others they had before were already snapped up by other shoppers or that store never had them. The Monroe MI Store had a case of the Mail trucks at least as when I stopped in there last night there were still 2 left. So, I now have myself and Slusher covered for those. Again, that is the first I had seen those there. The Adrain Mi store had both before but I was told that one person cleaned them out. Not sure what they have now.

Nice work.

The hinges are clearly soldered, but you are right he does not show us that trick, to stop the solder from running. I am going to guess and say he just uses what is on the top if the iron from the last pin he solders.
