Great idea- promote all your 'fantastic new products' by trumping up stuff that's been out of production for fifty years. Glad to see your tax dollars going to good use, huh?

:lol:Sphinxter.... Sorry, must have a little Beavis and Butthead fever today!

Ace Hardware sells MCM? Wow. That's one of the last places I'd expect to find it.

Why no '53 version? Because race car!

For the Brougham, you might be able to rework the roof on an R&R '48 4-door to work.

Sweet! All that's missing is a Horn Toad.

Wrong make, but I still like the Chevy! I can't hear any chickens or cows, but that might be because the old Hoyt-Clagwell won't pipe down.

I've thought about making a Challenger wagon, but by using a Magnum roof on the Challenger body. Very interested in seeing how this one turns out.

A couple more recent pics, with MOAR BEARD And one from 2001, with my junk old El Camino

Cool! It'll be very interesting seeing how this one went together.

Uuuuuuuuugh on the wagon, but that chopped body does look pretty cool.

Yep, that's the one. Now I just need to find a figure of a John Candy-looking guy with a combover to go with it!

I'm raiding the cab from at least one of them to build a '47. This is one of the few old Monogram Fords I've never built.

Well, the Donk kits were mostly based on existing tooling, and all the Donk parts were add on. In fact, I think all could be built as the earlier 2 in 1 versions where applicable. But yes, picking a good subject that will stand the test of time and NOT RUINING it by making something trendy out of it (cough cough, MPC Vampire Van) does sound like a great business model. Trick is... which ones will stand that test, besides the obvious choices?

No idea what kit this frame came from, but the 308 is a PERFECT fit.

At a quick glance I see all sorts of flaws on that '57... would such an obviously flawed model even be worthy of coverage in such a prestigious peroidical?

And I'm glad to see more 'oddball', or at least less mainstream subject, being made available in kit form. One of these days they WILL exhaust all demand for '57 Chevys, Deuces, 'Vettes, and the like, and it'll be the remainder of what's available that will carry the hobby. What will that remainder be? I have no idea, but I think it's going to be fun watching it all unfold and finding out.

In other words- they put the boots to them. Medium style.

Steve- I remember that 300! Wasn't that the dreadful R&R kit?

Dug up a few bits and pieces to stuff into the Model A, might have the A mostly done later tonight. And finally have a solid idea for the camper.

I'd really love to see that infamous list of potential subjects Moebius worked from to develop the Hornet and Chrysler. I'd be willing to bet that there is a Bullet Nose of some type on that list. Another reason I'm hoping the Hudson and Chrysler do well- might point the way to a Bullet Nose. The Lonestar must have been a hit- they're working on kitting a Prostar and a 53' reefer trailer. Hopefully any sucess they have with their '50's car kits will beget more '50's car kits, such as the Bullet Nose Stude.

Top one's gotta be the Italeri kit. Love that one.

LOVE the M880. One of these days I'll have a 1:1.

Interior is pretty much dialed in. Dash still needs detailed, and I think I'll have to reposition the window cranks, or remove them and make it a 'true' roadster. Armrests and door pulls might still be in the cards, guess it all depends how far I want to take it.
