This is a drawing I did for a DJ morning personality that was in my home town of Milwaukee. She was leaving for Phoenix to work at KSLX 100.7. She just bought a new car so I drew it for her. Here she is posing on her hood.

Those tires are awesome. I knew they were offered during the 70s

I just bought a house and the models are being wrapped loosely in those red shop rags you can buy at a parts store. They will cushion the model enough to prevent scratching should they jostle around. They will be transported in boxes put in my SUV and the stepdaughter's SUV. They will not be trusted in a moving van. -
What's a FYE?

What do you expect from the string,twigs, and beads set. I've for many years said that HL is not a hobby shop as we see them to be. They are an overpriced Micheal's.

Probably the demand of the license/Coke

The cars I posted are green and a blue one. I think yer monitor is lying to you.

I do believe the steering was poseable in that kit. Not sure if I'm doing the car the same. The were available in different colors with no striping and had matte black hoods. Some even had vinyl tops.

Thanks

This is something I built some years ago. I want to redo it as it has become somewhat shabby. The pic is not current.

I love those small towns with the court house in the middle of a downtown. Wisconsin has several like that.

The Official EBay Discussion Thread
lordairgtar replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
What puzzles me is the design in the trunk. Most images I find are kind of a bulge in the middle and the kit is more like a depression. Was this a mistake on AMTs part? -
I just got this one today. Pic from EBay listing. Nice little kit. Odd thing...The kit came from a distance of about 20 miles from my home. I open the kit and a stamp inside the box lid says Marks Model Mart. plus the address and state which is in Phoenix. How far did this little box travel to eventually get to me? I can imagine several people saw and bought this and sold off several times by different people. It found it's forever home with me.

As most Barris cars are. But the ZZR had a place in a spy/surf spoof movie, and that makes it worth while. The Fire wazzits? Not so much.

Camaro Shamaro! Give the Pierce some love.

Yes, that's it....hideous

History of Revell Venice's Fox Body Mustangs
lordairgtar replied to Fabrux's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I do want to know if the Capri version had the rear window in the convex style instead of just hanging the Mustang window back there? -
I don't know about the Astro but the ZZR was changed into a firefighter themed show rod and changed forever.
-
I want one.
-
Nicely done. My opinion would be to ashcan the Vette emblem stickers on the outer body and try and find the similar decals.
-
The C1 flairs are better looking and the S20 engine would be awesome.

I went to the LHS and no 64 Olds yet. They did have the Ford LTL 9000.

Same old $300 Jordan gluebomb.
lordairgtar replied to lordairgtar's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I made the offer of $50 on the Jordan. Got messaged back a "no thanks". LOL. I think more should offer the seller $50 and see what he does. -
When Ertl brought that out, you had to heat swage the front axles to capture the wheel on their kits. Looks like Round2 changed that to a slotted peg to just snap on the wheel.

Poor quality styrene deterioration
lordairgtar replied to oldscool's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Resins do suffer from exposure to sunlight and heat. Ask anyone with a car from the 1980s The flexible panels like bumper covers and bumper fillers all get brittle and crack with age. My 80 Seville has that issue. Even the plastic that forms the part that holds the tail lights has cracked and also excretes a sticky syrupy ooze that feels sticky to the touch. I've purchase fiber glass replacements which will be installed when I can get them painted the car colors.
