Now that IS an idea.

This is my favorite, one of them Roooskie cars from Soviet union. A GAZ Volga! I got it from a friend (Tor henning) in Norway.

Good job, Jim. The Harley and RC helped I see. I get the same grief with trying to make steering that works. I'm going to have poseable wheels under my Firebird wagon if it kills me. Got the steering assembly pined and functioning. Now to figure a way to attach the tie rod.

At the Milwaukee NNL I wound up winning a bunch of the raffle swag. AMT 57 Chrylser kit Monogram Long John Kit Testor's 928 Porsche Galaxie 21 ft. Trailer kit AMT Country time nascar Grand Prix Flintstone Resin 34 Ford phantom delivery body Flintstone Resin 28 Ford Fordor chopped sedan

The Chinese made a model of their old Hong Qi limo. Why can't Russia come up with a Chaika sedan or a ZIL or a GAZ?

Very clean build. I always manage to break something on motor cycle builds.

I would like to see Gregg come to the Milwaukee NNL. (cue Fist Full Of Dollars music) Seeing Gregg and Sherrif Haught in the same room. The mind boggles.

Great job Double D. When you gotta get that stiff to the morgue quickly.....

Nice work. Is the tag honoring vets of the Viet Nam war?

The 1/20th scale Ford Van, I believe by MPC had a crankshaft and a clear oil pan plus pistons. I remember trying to add oil into the pan. Not a good idea. I was 14 then.

At the AMG meeting last Friday, I sold some extra stuff I had but someone brought in some random bits and said they are free. I wound up with a nice build up unpainted original issue Hubley Rolls Royce. It's the same as the Minicraft kit but the molds haven't gone to pot yet. It will be converted into a street machine Bentley that I see around here. I also grabbed the Premier 1960 Rambler which I believe was 1/32nd scale. This is a built up but will be made into slot car. I got a 64 Thunderbolt sealed kit I traded someone for with a built up Cobra in original box. I also picked up the 1960 Ford Sunliner convertible resin body for free.

A pic would be nice.

Congrats George. You definitely married above your pay grade. LOLZ

We had a model swap meet in South Milwaukee. It's usually small and consists of mostly sellers buying from other sellers. I was able to score a built up TR7 Triumph kit in yellow plastic, a 1/32nd scale Nova from Monogram I think. Very nicely done, painted nice and BMFed. I just have to paint the firewall. It will just go into the cabinet on display, it's that nice. I also got a PYRO 1/25th scale Volkswagen kit...multi piece body in glorious orange/peach plastic. Monogram 41 Lincoln, Monogram Rolls Royce, Nissan Skyline 4 door from the 60s. Nice haul, IMO.

I will be praying for you, Ed.

Only pic of me I have on the PC. Sitting in the model/bedroom by my desk. Note Pyro kit in background behind Pepsi can. Triumph GT6+.

Thanks guys. Lots of success it seems with all of you. Good going! When a person weighs as much as I do, the difference is hard to see. At least I feel it when I drive the car as my stomach doesn't touch the steering wheel anymore. I always had that tell tale smudge on my shirts where the wheel rubbed...no longer. It's funny how some of the morons from my old neighborhood have offered me "drugs" to help with my weight loss. Really? Don't do me any favors LOLZ. That's the crowd I no longer associate with, thank God.

This morning I weighed myself. Over three years ago I started trying to lose weight and I weighed 476 lbs. I now weigh 378 lbs. Two more to go and I reach the first goal of 100 lbs. So what do I eat tonight...two big helpings of spaghetti...buuuuuurrrrp! I am not on any particular diet, I just walk and eat less than I used to. I walked more when I had a dog, but I have to force myself to go out and walk it off now.

Does anyone make a sedan body to be used with the AMT 34 Ford?

They both have round wheels. LOL I recall early Ford trucks using the name F-1, kinda similar to F1

I lived in Santa Barbara and can relate to the Goleta label. Those racks are just like the real ones I remmember my grandfather put on his 1960 Buick leSabre when we went camping. Are they scratch made? After market? Your model is very very cool.

I need that for when the Zombies attack.

My my my, That is awesome. All those are awesome. Especially the 57 IH

Looks pretty good. I can actually see your reflection in the spoon.

That Mersa is a drag. Had the the little critters but they caught them in time.
