  1. I went to a small swap meet in Milwaukee yesterday, found a 55 Ford Panel with Harley decals still sealed and an original 1966 Buick Wildcat kit. Box is real nice and still had both hoods on the kit but was missing the road wheels and the tires...but that is not a deal breaker as I have those around here somewhere. Basically jut liked the box and I may restore the Buick.
  2. Ya know, when I get to that point where I am so tinkled off that I want to break things, I just set it aside, open a nice Single Malt Scotch and turn on the Pink Floyd. Soon the crisis is averted and I can either start again or go to sleep.
  3. This is pretty good stuff. I don't think he has a web site but does have email and you can clearly see his phone number on the bottle. He's a member of our model Car club.
  4. Never knew Kohl's had kits....and there is one within walking distance from my apartment.
  5. Jeff, your first car and the last car resemble currently designed concepts. You were definitely ahead of your time.
  6. Nice Hudson. Nice to see a hot rod version. I can post pics on here, but I've forgotten how to put new ones on my P-bucket.
  7. Wow, I could use that. But the black bumper look makes it look cheap.
  8. put amber bulbs in your turn signals. That would be legal. I put those in my 54 Chevy when I lived there.
  9. Hmmm. I just posted one sentence. After looking it over, I see it is not my grammar you are referring to.
  10. Got some stuff from an estate sale. AMT double kit of the Matra and Brabham open wheel kit (Heller tool) Heller Porsche 917 Monogram Bugatti open wheel car MPC 1928 Lincoln 2 door roadster.
  11. Tongue in cheek sequence of prep process 1. Go on forum and find kit review of kit considered. 2. Read gripes on how character line is one scale millimeter off on one side. 3. Read seven more pages of modellers bashing original poster about how they should be happy the maker decided to tool kit at all. 4. Read seven more pages of people bashing the first seven. 5. PM people about kit because mods have shut down the thread. 6. Do research on real car and find that character line is off one millimeter, but only on base model where trim doesn't cover the flaw. 7. Finally go to hobby shop and buy model. 8. Open kit and examine, finding yourself real happy you bought this model. 9. Resume accepted building practices.
  12. So if the cereal box has a picture of a bowl of cereal with milk and fruit, the bowl, milk and fruit should also be in the box?
  13. The State Of California contains chemicals which are known to the state of Wisconsin to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This will now be placed on every product I sell.
  14. Visionary? Genius? Tech icon? All of these for sure, but also a horrible person to work for.
  15. Pronunciations are a funny thing. I really can't stand it when people pronounce JoHan, yo hahn. It's Jo like Joe, and Han like Han Solo...JoHan!
  16. Thanks for posting this. I do want a Gremlin kit. Also, trying to use Spotlight's forum gives me a headache. After clicking maybe five posts, I give up.
  17. Can you post an image. It won't load.
  18. The purpose of an internet forum is social interaction, education and more! Just google it! How sanitary. I can google to my heart's content looking for something, but not everything is within Google's grasp. That's where forums come in. Not only to find a certain item, but perhaps to find out if any problems are there. Like a hard to build resin body, for instance. I'm looking for Renwal 66 Revival kits, I googled and only one or two pages popped up that were of any use. So onto the forums I go. Maybe the threads are more for social interaction than just getting an item. Stop looking down from your Ivory Tower and cut people some slack. This would be a pretty dead forum if everyone "googled" it.
  19. Nice station wagon. I really enjoy the builds by people from other countries besides the US. I like to see their interpretation of our cars.
  20. I just picked up Johan's 1968 Ambassador. Paid way to much for it, but it's mine. Mine I tell ya! All Mine!!! Mwahahahahaha!
  21. Those Ala Kart parts are from the old double kit. The newer Ala Kart kit is a whole new tool. The reason we got those extra bits was that the manufacturer in China opened all the sprue gates. Previous issues had those gates closed off.
