1930fordpickup

Only ever watch the reruns on late TV. His show could be funny at times, but stupid other times. His show is what all of the News looks like today, they all want to shock us with info.

I say odd because I think there may be more 1/16 scale kits out there than 1/20. They just look funny on the shelf next to the smaller scales. I know I am not alone in this thought as I hear it all the time at swap meets when someone picks up the 1/20 scale stuff and says how it would be better in the 1/25 or 1/24 scale. Hard to use them for kit bashing also. It is more about the number of kits than the scale itself.

I think you are building this model better than the real ones were built back in the day. I like to follow your builds; the topic education is as good as the model itself.

Not only were they nice kits, but also good subject matter. The only problem was the scale.

That is a nice Hall Tom. Did you put your wallet in the freezer to cool it off, when you got home?

I have a couple of the 61-63 ford trucks already. I will be buying more than 1 of these. HHMMM Maybe it is time to list what I have on ebay.......... nope they can stay here with my glue bomb warlock. Curbside is fine as 3d printed engines are nice, and I get to pick the engine I want.

I am not even a Dodge guy, but Yes I agree 100% A New Warlock would be nice. This should be easy.

I agree. I have an original here and it looks as funny as the one above. I get the over the cab part just not the little, short area to climb into. Should have been a high cap all the way back. The one I have does have strips so you could store or carry thigs on top of it.

Get well soon Carl. Prayers for you and your family.

Amazing as always Charles. I remember your lessons from another of your builds on the split trucks. I guess you are going to make a split one next, right? Just kidding.

Looking good Jim.

The Polar Lights name has been out recently. I wonder if we will see a kit or 2 come back out under the Lindberg name in a few years.

Mark I guess if you can go in every few days to check the price you can wait.

I have been stopping by the Monroe MI Walley World store here and there to check for kits. Nothing and I have been looking sense November. Stopped in last night and in the clearance section is a bunch of model's. The cheapest were the 13 dollar prostreet Chevy kits. I didn't grab a Nova but did grab a couple of the Chevelle kits. Most were 21 or 17 dollars. I grabbed one of what I wanted at the cheaper prices as Next time there might not be anything left. Plenty of the Coke kits, 53 F1 Fords and the 72 Chevys. The surprise was that they had 3 of the Cement Mixers at 25 each still there. I didn't buy an of them.

Decided to take a drive to Adrain MI over the weekend. The Ollies there still had some Monogram 1932 Ford's, so I picked up a couple more. They still had the other normal kits. Mustang, Vette and the Lambo. Some of the easy builder Jeeps, Mustangs and Ford GT'S. The Wallmart had kits but only 2 left that were discounted. A wacky racer and a 41 Plymouth that was still at 20 bucks.

I am interested in how the tests turn out. I like your journey and I am following along. One of the few who have not been tainted by the other brands.

With the large fan base and longtime love of the S10 line of trucks and SUV's I am surprised this is info is not very easy to find. Some very nice trucks and SUVs were made from these.

Welcome Aboard Mark. Nice work on your Models.

Looks like you are a roll with these bodies Les. Some very different subjects, a good idea.

This is Awesome Sam. What a nice way to spend time with your daughter. Tried getting my nephews to build, no luck.

Welcome from down the street from ARCA headquarters. You might remember where that is. Temperance MI. Great collection of Models you have built.

Looks great. Bob you can always put that blue cab and box on a Blazer frame. Just a shorter version of this one.

Kimmo has his own car show in a garage. Very nice group of cars to drive. I think you have one of the best designs out of GM in the 60's with the 63 Buick.

Welcome Aboard Eric, from the bottom of the state. Do some reading in the tips section, there is some good reading material. The 2 models you want to restore look like good candidate's to start with. Give some thought in your direction of the models before you dunk them in the purple pond. That is the paint stripper many use here.

Thank you for posting the link to your pictures Tim.
