It looks great and it was for a good cause!!

I have some old mags that if I remember right might have some info in about Project X, give me a few days to look through them.

Thanks Nick, I'm hoping to get it done by this weekend.

Thanks Rodney!! This is the first model I have painted green since I was a kid building models.

Man you did a great job bring that one back!! It looks awesome!!!

It's looking pretty good Toby!! What color are you going to paint it? And Jordan's right you should try to fit the tires to the wheels a little better.

I started to build this one for our clubs Nifty 50's theme and didn't get it done it time, and it didn't help that I started on it 4 days before the meeting Anyways now I have more time to work on it...

Thanks Virgil!! I have around 8 models from around that time frame that look pretty good after all that time and then maybe another 6 that have seen better days....... And some of those are ones I built when I was much younger.

Thanks and yes that is the paint I used on this one and it has really held up over the years, of course it's been packed away for some 20 plus years so that helped.

I took a photo of each model in the same spot and then used a mouseover effect which brings the other photo up when you move your mouse over it. Thanks!! Marty

Happy Birthday!!!! Hope you have a great day!!!

Thanks guys!! It was fun to bring this one back from the dead. I used One Shot sign painters paint for the white walls. Check out what I did with a photo of this '57 Chevy and my Kustom '57 Chevy.. Two 57's Chevy's

Here is another one I did back around 1980 or early '81. I had forgot that I still had it until I open my old '49 Ford Cruisin USA kit to put a chrome tree in it that I picked up and found that I still had it. This is how it looked. So like with the '57 Chevy I thought the painted looked fine and just cleaned it up and replaced the missing parts and replaced the trim rings and hub caps and made a new rear bumper for it. Can't beat old testers paint this stuff held up pretty good after all these years!!!

I built this one the 1st time about 30 plus years ago!!! I got it out a few weeks ago and took it a part and re-did the interior, chassis & motor. I left the paint alone as it wasn't that bad and just cleaned it up some and did some BMF on it. I think it looks pretty good for being as old as it is!!

Happy Birthday Ed!!!!

WOW!!!!!!! What's not to like about this one!!! Nothing it's just great!!!

When I was racing H.O. slot cars I spent a ton of money on his decals and never had a problem getting them!

And a few more photos....

And here are some of the "Real Winners" from the show!!

Dan, Here are the pedal cars photos that I took. Hey Danno would you like to tell the story about this pedal car?

Truck looks great and the only I see wrong with is it's not mine!!!!!!!! I really like that front bumper!

Great job Lanny!!!

And lets not forget the 2 awards you got Danno................

It was good seeing you there Tom and we'll see ya on Sunday!! I didn't get a chance to walk around yet, but then again I really wasn't up to doing to much walking! Maybe tomorrow I'll feel better and be able to go check out some of the cars in the show.............

Well I packed up 22 models for this show, but I'm not ready for the long weekend!!! I hurt my back on Wednesday and it hasn't gotten much better yet!!! But I'm not about to miss this and will just have to deal with the pain!!!
