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...

EXCEPT for the short framerails, that is. Same here! Hey, Ken... know any casters who make a figure of a three headed guy in coveralls? No, forget it- I don't think they make glow-in-the-dark resin... Hmmmm. I like it. THAT would be a cool tutorial... DIY nuclear waste!

I'll take it! Can't go wrong with a Lark- these things are popping up all over the place all of a sudden. Not a bad thing, if you ask me!

Killer! A shame this kit will likely never be reissued!

Pretty good piece of information, Bill! I wonder why Galaxie never included slicks in these kits, as the drag version was shown prominently on the box for the sedan.

Neither do I, now that you put it that way.

I can't mention the missle silo...

Would this be the same deal (or similar) as the kit one Mr. Greenburg described in his latest column? Would this be the same deal a certain Mr. Greenburg described in his latest column in MCM?

Yep... should've gone!

Sweet!

Some of it I still have, some I don't. Pretty interesting stuff anyway.

They're Twentypence nails, which were... um... oversized. (And yes, I did notice the oversized nail heads. AFTER Dave pointed it out. Good thing I don't judge at contests for ship models...)

Progressing very well.

I see him around here and there. He hasn't completely fallen off the face of Earth!

Very cool!
