He did end up with a few of them. Ray ended up casting a few other's products after the original companies closed up. I know he still casts at least one of the old SJS bodies- the '38 IH COE. Unless that wasn't an SJS originally.

No, but Dave Carey is working on a D-series pickup and a Travelall. Not sure when it will be coming out.

Not without major sectioning of the cab above the fender line. Do NOT wanna do that. On this particular one...

Looking good so far. Really dig that chop!

Nope, second and third... I'll elbow my way to the front and I don't care what anybody thinks!

Spring 2013 is what they're saying- no date has been set yet that I'm aware of.

Thanks! You guys have absolutely nothing to fear from Jim either.

I've avoided this kit for years, but I might need to get one if it's possible to build a model from it this nice! I've always had a thing for these Crosleys- my father owns a 1:1 '47 Crosley, the previous owner removed the roof and doors and made it into a kind of makeshift roadster pickup. That guy would drive it to the golf course every weekend... and used the Crosley as his cart upon arrival, if you believe that. Yes, the thing is tiny.

Couldn't agree more, especially with this sentence in particular.

It always seemed to me that they were using the Monogram name on their 'bargain' priced kits and reissues, and of course they kept the name on Tom Daniel reissues. I actually asked Revell about this, and the answer I got was as follows- There is no hard and fast rule- both brands have made very good, premium kits over the years. But we do try when we can to put a Revell brand on a Revell kit and a Monogram brand on a Monogram kit.

You could shorten the chassis a bit, so that the rear axle is centered under the bed. Short of that, just about any '30's truck bed could be used on it.

Bad news as far as the intent of this thread, but good news for modelers- Randy is casting these again, or at least was back at it quite recently.

So it's the Ferrari The Ferrari. Yeah. That makes it so much better.

Amen to that, buddy! Rob the SOHC from the AMT '33 Willys kit if you want to power one of these kits with one.

I like how it looks... but that's the most idiotic model name in recent memory. At least they didn't call it the Ferrari Coupe DeVille, I guess.

I won't doubt that- heck, the Great Dane trailer is a jaw-dropper, and as Tim Ahlborn said it's 'just a trailer'.

Looks like I'm in the minority as well, but I'll leave the final choice up to Mr. Jones himself, of course.

Vans!!! Vans with a Disney theme...

If only there were Alero and Grand Am clips in this scale. Wait, there IS a really rare AMT Olds Intrigue promo... There's about 3/8" of resin caked into the tops of the fenders, so this is about as low as the rear will go. Not sure if I'm digging the 'bum in the air' look, but we'll see. I really don't feel like spending an hour or so grinding out the wheel wells, but again... we'll see.

Another thing you might want to do while in Advance- check out the clearance rack. When they are cycling out colors and types of paint they will no longer be carrying, you'll often find them there for a significant discount. Back when I still worked there I picked up two cans of DupliColor and a can of VHT header paint... less than five bucks for all three.

Well, I have been accused of single-handedly buying enough of them to recoup Moebius' tooling and development expenses. Might be true.

Found a few more... ^^^^^Look closely and you'll see the tail end of a '50 Olds... diorama with the new Revell kit, anyone?

Six finished, one nearly finished, and six more in varios stages. And I've got about as many ideas for more. I think I really like these. "Eensy teensy" is just a cute way of saying "small".

Loving this! Is it just me, or does this kinda/sorta vaguely resemble a mid '60's Imperial?

One more fun little shot for the evening...
