  1. Got it today! I will be busy for the next few days.
  2. Waiting with baited breath. No sign here in Knoxville, Tn. Other issues were alright, passingly interesting, and I guess just absolutely the most fun reads I've had in years. I'm beginning to jones, JUST A LITTLE MORE THAN A WHOLE LOT. Just kidding, thanks for all you guys do.
  3. I guess it's OK news, but what it really is STRESS untill it gets here, then spending at least a week devouring everything from cover to cover. Oh well the sacrifices one must make. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into getting this magazine out.
  4. Me too.
  5. To de shine the sidewalls, baking soda and water and a tooth brush.
  6. before you get too far along, the interior of the car is the same as the exterior, French, only the door panels( upholstery) is black. Dash, steering wheel is also black. you are thinking way too hard, these were really basic cars, with the exception of some "acid dipped " body panels. Great model will finish up to your liking.
  7. mmmmmmm Well I'd have to give it a .....wait for it....... 9.99 cause nothing's perfeck, but dearn close. Really, great build especially being your first. I hope it will not be your last. Keep building, your skills will develop even more. Oh, thanks for sharing.
  8. Just found thread, and as always, I'm amazed at all the great Mercs. The stock, mild customs, and most of the wild custom, if its a 49-51 mercs. I've seen "chopped" channeled frenched lowered and just about anything that can be done to a merc, but rarely have I seen a Merc, with the dip taken out of the door. That was one of the most popular things done to the sleds. Why is this
  9. taste like chicken, or does chicken taste like taste like alligator
  10. Prettiest Elco I've ever seen.
  11. Mr. Shelby would approve, I'm sure. Amazing.

    I've had an idea about converting a car to a boat. No where as complicated as yours. Sir, you have captured the essence of the 50's,in body work and paint. Yawsier! Beautiful.
  15. This is so cool. I just got the same kit for the same reason. CHEAP. Just had not even thought what I'd do with it. Thanks for causing me to think way outside the box.
  16. Just found this......... WOW! the non flat upper and lower radiator is a fine example of attention to detail people are talking about. amazing.
  17. Really good build. I too built the 1/12 scale version. Had lots of detail in 1/12 th, You managed to capture all I could see in 1/2. This fits on a much more acceptable size shelf and looks much better.
  18. I was gifted a1918 Gibson L3 arch top guitar. For it's age I'd say it's about 85- 90%. Plays and sounds great. Can't stop smiling. 71 yrs. old and I got my first Gibson.
  19. Great job. puts me in mind of when the "rich" boys used to buy J2 Alards and put Olds and Cadilliac motors, and went sporty car racing. good old days. Glad to see that kind of out of the box thinking still lives, even if only in 1:24 scale.
  20. I hope everyone who wanted this re-issue, (including me) is happy with what they get, it will not be the quality , fit ,or finnish as others in the market. Just be glad to have this model back in our hands. Thank you Revell.
  21. Got mine yesterday( 3/12/24) love the show coverage, and the how to's. Awe, hecl I liked it all.
  22. I was wondering when my subscription was set to expire . I dont want to miss any issues.
  23. Yes every street had one, but none this nice.
