Really nice looking Olds there. I like it.

I don't think the body design was based on a Mack truck. I think it was more of a take off of the early Renaults.

Very nice model. I enjoyed the video, even the music...and I'm a 56 year old codger.

Verry good.

You should put this build thread over on the H.A.M.B. Faith Grainger is a poster there and I am sure she would love to see the build progress.

I just read all 15 pages of the bloviating going on here. Wow. As a car show artist, I've drawn Hudsons. I've sat for a couple of hours staring at one with pencil in hand. Really cool cars. I'm buying the kit when it comes out, maybe several.

Depends on the brand of beer...oh, you meant model kits.

That Caddy really looks nice, ajulia.

I see you are Canadian but you don't mention the area you live in. Find a local Hobby Shop or a Micheals (craft store), Meijers or similar place. You can find all kinds of detailing supplies outside of the normal model car realm in these stores like little tiny chains or wires. There is even a Martha Stewart brand of flocking that will look good as carpeting material and is cheap. There are a lot of online stores also. I can say just by looking through this forum, you will find links to suppliers of kits, parts, resin bodies and all that. Ebay does have a goodly supply of kits to bid on, but older kits can get into "stupid money". If you can find a model swap meet event near you, that is a good place to stock up on kits, built-ups, parts and other stuff. On this and other forums, just ask people how they did a particular thing you'd like to try. Using the search function will get you to threads on basic how tos. Kalmbach Publishing has several books about detailing model cars and weathering them too as this would be perfect for pick up building.

I just love this.

Do Want!!! I got an HO scale F7 non-powered A unit from the GF and a wireless mic set up plus a boom mic stand from the GF's kids.

No technique really great. If I encounter some flash on chrome I slice as much off with a sharp #11 blade, then dab a bit of chrome silver on the removed seam or sprue divot. Seams can only be sanded smooth and replated by a firm like Chrome-Tech or be Alcladed

Any of the Renwal 66 revivals, although they usually could be found at about $75 to $100. 1968 GTO from MPC 1933 Chevy panel from MPC ZZR Spy car

Lordairgtar is pretty much it. Except on a local 1:1 car sdite where it is Mistergrouch because after a server mishap, I couldn't go back to my most used name. So, I'm addressed as lord, lordy or LAG in most places when spoken to online.

I remeember back in the early 70s, Cotati, California had these little Mazdas.

One thing I recall in those days, CHP car had white steering wheels

Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! May you find much makana under your tree. Aloha and Malu.

All they need is a donut shop for you to hang out at.

According to some political forums I go on the Canadians all claim they have no crime. Only thing you need a gun for is the occasional moose. The US has crime because we own guns.

How about the 1966 AMT Thunderbird. The modesty panel below the front bumper is too long on the sides and needs a quarter inch cut off each side. A minor thing but imagine the frustration of someone not at all experienced with this kind of repairing. My grandfather bought me my model when I was a kid and he brought home the usual AMT annuals but sometimes brought home the IMC Fords and the GT40 and those types of things and the Renwall Revivals. So having much experience with those cars (the 48 Fords) I really liked the way they went together. The Revell 56 Chevy with all the separate chrome trim bits was the one that ticked me off.

So it's a comedy from what i saw. Awful, just awful.

I'm using the Mica red paint and I can't find the white primer anywhere. Guy at the LHS says Tamiya is reformulating again due to some panty waist in California saying the paint causes cancer. He says there won't be any until next year. He recommended Floquil's white primer. I am going to test a piece first to see if these two are compatible.

I've seen kids and adults texting and driving, eating cereal out of a bowl, reading a paper or book...all while driving. In fact, Wisconsin just passed a law making texting illegal in moving vehicles. Yet a girl had an accident while texting the very next day in these parts.

I liked listening to the Beatles, and realize that Lennon was a great artist. However, I think the better anniversary to remember is the one from December 7th. http://www.ccdemo.info/PearlHarbor/PearlHarborDayRemembered.html These were the real heroes, not some supposed working class hero.
