Pretty nice for a parts kit, I'd say! Didn't know there was a 1:25 first-gen Z-car. I did fairly well- the following AMT kits- '65 El Camino (WITH the camper!), '77 Ford Courier, '94 GMC Sonoma, '95 Chevy Blazer, '08 Dodge Challenger (yep- finally decided to get one), and an MPC '78 Dodge Monaco. After the last haul, though, I think I'm pretty well set for winter!

Well, hey... we actually DID get the Passionate Poncho verson of the '62 Cat, and given Round 2's penchant for 'modified reissues' of late, I wouldn't be too surprised to see this Olds get the same treatment somewhere down the road. I built this kit when it first came out, and for a wee lad I was quite proud of the result- even though I had no idea the bumper was wrong until now!

Come to think of it- I'd really like a Jag XKR kit!

That's not stereotyping.... it's profiling! I'd have to wonder if the driver had bad hair plugs, sweat pants, and flip flops, too!

I think we NEED a kit of the Bugatti Veyron- anything else (say, an '03-'04 Mercury Marauder, 2010 Taurus SHO, Cadillac XLR, or any of the other ten or twenty post-2000 cars I'd like to see) would just be 'bonus material'. Of course, the one I'd love to see isn't a car at all, it's the current Ford Super Duty pickup, but evidently truck model kits don't sell well, or so I'm told.

I WISH... I'm not sure what kind of wrecker it was, but now that Tom mentions it, the boom does seem a tad long. Maybe it was a pumpkin chunker?

Weird- I used this same body on a model a year or two ago, and used almost the exact same color. Great minds think alike, I guess! Very cool model.

Try repacking a turducken some time. It ain't happenin'!

Well, it's getting pretty close to the end of 2010- I'm pretty sure many of us are NOT getting any projects done by years end! So, let's celebrate the ones that did get finished in this first year of the second decade of the twenty-first century! Here are mine- My Fiat '60's street rod My 392-Hemi powered '32 Chevy Coupe '66 Fairlane '80's style street machine '69 Lincoln Continental (built from an untouched original annual kit, too!) My spares-box-special crawler tractor. The '15 Center Door Model T rat rod This 1:25 Farm engine '38 International Cabover Pickup My '72 F-100 farm truck (now with improved hood badges-not shown) And yeah- Space Oddity just HAD to be in this elite group!

Might be digging out one of my old Monroe Magnum kits for this one- I dig that peeled-back fender and bed full of trash!

I think you did post it earlier... I do remember an Imp with a Catalina interior from your workbench anyway. Great job with this one- it's nice to see one that isn't a bubble top every so often.

A piece of advice- NEVER build for contests! It sucks all the fun out of it! At least it would for me. That aside, love the model!

I dunno- I think you should've lost that Ram pickup grille (the WORST styling element on the new Chargers), and gone with something a bit more 1968-ish, or mabye a honeycomb pattern like on the new Challenger. I think such a treatment would look great as a full-width grille because, well, such treatments DO look good as full-width grilles! Other than that it works.

I've never been a trucker, but some guys, at least to me, seem incredibly inefficient with what they haul...

And about six square miles of sheet metal...

Love the '64 Fords. The kit is kind of simple, but always looks good when its done up right. Really dig the color on this one.

Very good- now I wonder why I asked essentially the same question twice, using slightly different wording each time...

Wow- very cool! This will be the first 1:4 scale ANYTHING I've ever seen! Maybe I'll need to do a 1/4 scale C-cab of my own...

I've been getting a little nostalgic lately, thinking about some of the old toys I had as a kid, and a couple stick out in my mind. One was a 1:24/1:25 Mustang GT ('87 vintage or so) convertible. It was molded in bright, almost neon orange, with a black interior, and had friction drive. It might even have been a promo- I have no idea where it came from or where it is today. Anyone else remember one of these- or better still, have a picture or two? The other one was a small-scale die-cast Volvo COE truck. I'm not sure the scale, but it was about four or five inches long. It had a flatbed with molded in sides, and it came with a plastic garage you assembled yourself, which was molded in gray plastic with white doors and smoked windows, and fit together via tounge and groove. Sorry, no pictures- these were long gone 20 years ago. Just wondered if anybody could help ID who manufactured them

Sweet! Finally, an update!

I still need to try out one of his Truckster sketches...
