I do believe you need to call this the Ghost for ghost of SLM.....

I love this build. The blood stains on the concrete are tremendous.....looks real. This is an interesting get to get ahold of. I tried to order one from my LHS. It's still listed in the catalog but that it won't be available until after the first of the year.

Bob does look like fun.....was it originally a toy or is it the Revell kit?

Bill......great method.

Beautiful build! Clean and nicely detailed.

First off, Joe I'm sorry to hear of your personal challenges. I fear many of us have had those and had to put our hobbies on hold. As for the build, when you can please show off this work. I bet there are many like myself who have this kit, opened it with great hopes and then felt it lacked potential. Your build is showing this kit does have potential. I look forward to seeing it finished.

I remember photos of the funny in Car Model magazine. Car was impressive in black and white but to see it in color is amazing. I never knew about the tow rig. Absolutley stunning work and to think it has survived all these years.....wow!

I'll end up with the Monkeemobile in that packaging. I remember "helping" my Dad build that when the show first aired.

Nice build on a kit I never knew excisted.

Nice build so far of what may be the number one kit for modelers to either take a hammer to or stomp on. Seriously, I wonder how many of these were M-80 bait in the 60's?

I think I could shave in the shine from you Chi-Town Hustler.

For my money, the Jo-Han Cuda is better. Revell's was a nice replica of the first S&M car while Jo-Han's was either a late season version or the next year. Both bodies are a bit funky.

It's good to have you back! Is the 1/16 Revell/s Hawaiian? If not, where did you get the front wheels? Looking at it, it has a lot of nice enhancements from the stock kit like the steering wheel and the mount for the starter.

No way I'd believe anyone would have survived that. I hop you find a simpler build both encouraging and fulfilling. Sadly as we age, many of us will face challenges in that our skills may diminish.

I'm quite surprised to see the chopper. It will be going home with me.

For others who might wonder the same thing. I visited two shops. The first of these was American Hobby Center. Not bad for model trains and RC. The model car stuff was limited. Some of it was older but little of interest as most of it has been reissued or were fairly common. Prices were typical. Then I went to Hobby Express in Cranberry. I visited this shop a couple of years ago and was overwhelmed. First off, I got there and there's a lot of construction equipment for a store remodel. My first fear was they'd closed and the store was being remodeled for new tennants. Instead, they were expanding. You name it and they had it. High end diecast, RC, military, model railroads, model cars and sci-fi. Plus way more supplies than I'd seen at any other shop. I doubt there's much they don't have in the supply line. I spent an hour and a half and could have easily doubled that. Nice staff. I really needed a great shopping list. Once again, I was overwhelmed. If you in the area, Hobby Express is worth the trip.

Apparently I’m spending the night at the Pittsburgh airport before I travel home. Any good shops near by or on the west side of Pittsburgh? Thanks!

Thanks for posting this.

What are you looking for? I mainly have old complete kits, mainly main brands from 20-30 years ago. If you're looking for anything specific, let me know.

I'll be there vending. I've got a hundred and one projects going on but nothing ready to show.

That would be my bet.

I've seen the test shots of the Salvinos.......WOW. I'll forgo lunch to get the first one I see.

Huge thumbs up!!!!

This is proof that gold can be made with ancient plastic.

KILLER and inspirational!
