all I ask is that you remember to breath Brandon LOL

George you Sir are an awesome soul! oh I feel his energy, I think I felt it in the form of his hand against the back of my head when I dropped a model in storage the other day....... LOL he'd never strike me, just a feeling of OMG LYN!!!!!!!!!!!! the only glue I have is elmers.. fairly sure that wouldn't work...... Thank you for the comment and for making me smile... I really needed it tonight P.S. I have not forgotten about the Lincoln body

reading all these posts and watching the beautiful work that is done makes me remember my dad and all the stuff he did, how he loved his models, each was his baby, when he was working on one it got all of his attention.. detail was what it was all about, customizing, creating something new from what you already had left over in a box or sneeked from another model.. I know that his models are going for the most part to very loving homes, that is what makes me keep plugging on here. It would have been very easy for me to just sell to a dealer who would have jacked up the price.. I couldn't bring myself to do that. I open a box that isn't sealed touch the parts look at the instructions take the pictures to list it, feel the rush to build one again.. then close the box and list it. I don't get that rush while listing the sealed boxes.. strange.. lol sorry for the girl moment, but I am a girl..... I have to say everyone of you that I was able to see a model in progress or built has done beautiful work Thank you for sharing! I'll let you all know when the rush when I open a box takes over. Thank you for letting me have a place to come to.

that is one beautiful car! brings back memories..

tell me how it turns out.. I may try one myself in the near future.. better yet post pictures

don't glare at me for asking LOL.. but what is the black one?

very nice! evidently you have imagination and know how to make it a reality

what did you use for the floor?

I've seen some of what you've built.. does my voice count as not a builder? No but I'll share it anyway ... some great art you have going on there.. I wish I could make a comment on 90% of the posts I read but the truth is, I have no clue what they are talking about for the most part LOL... still fun to read.... I promise if you post some more I will comment on them +

I found one in storage the other day in one of my dad's *white box* models that had a simular paint theme uh they didn't come anywhere near the perfection that you did!

beautiful piece of art, thank you for sharing

very nice looking model........ great job!

thank you everyone for answering. I read everything, blinked a few times, said hmmmm, blinked some more then realized I really should have paid way more attention to my dad when he talked about cars haha.. I have another of the packs at the house if anyone wants it. PM I'll give it to ya for what it sold for on ebay which I suppose was a fair price, i don't know because I haven't ever bought one.. Send me a line, Lyn

Thank you for getting back with me Scott. I read your site and have some questions. I'll send you a note tomorrow when my mind is clear. been playing model car madness on ebay most of the day and my brain is burnt hahaha. thank you again, Lyn

Hi Scott, I don't built myself, or at least I am not building yet haha. the last 2 months I've touched 500+ models and I'm feeling the itch.. What i am looking for is information, I was hoping if I went to a show I could get face to face help. Is your show just a show or are there going to be buying booths too? thank you, Lyn

What kind of show is it? I may have to see if i can rent a table at the turkey rod run this year. My dad use have a table there WAY back in the day.

Thank you for the information Wayne. I am a little suprised you offered it. Thank you non the less Lyn

AMT Ertl Snapfast has some very easy ones. I have a few listed on ebay right now. I pulled them down after I read your post. One has 28 parts and one has 40 parts, the one I gave Dalton from my post was a Snapfast. so you can look them up here are the names. purolator Chevrolet Model# 8722 Lamborghini Diablo Model# 8710 I have a monogram Snaptite, it doesn't list a parts count though. Turbo Camaro Model# 1419 If you have some sort of car in mind let me know I can look in storage and give you a parts count and model number so you can look them up. How awesome that you are building with your Grandkids. post pictures

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of any shows or conventions in Florida or possibly Georgia or Southern South Carolina.. I did a web search and came up with nothing. Any help would be great! Thank you, Lyn

Not sure I have figured out this photobucket thing but.............. you asked for a model buidling picture I hope to provide one haha http://s905.photobucket.com/albums/ac256/l...t=Lynsmodel.jpg If it works, the blonde is my other brother Donnie. I'm sitting and building

it may be unbelievable, but I have built models myself... How could I not with who was my dad lol.. Do you all involve your daughters in it? I am just curious because it just seemed as natural as breathing to me when I was a kid.

Thank you everyone Dalton isn't my blood family but he is Family!.... Thank you George I think my dad would be proud.. I don't think Dalton is anywhere done with models, I have more to give him hahaha Be safe one and all and thank you Um I have build models, there is no way I could have gotten out of it with my dad.. So I do love seeing all of yours models, they are beautiful works of art

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this with you and also thank you for being very patient with me. I know I don't exactly fit in here but each of you has helped me more then I can say in your own way, notes, seeing your models and kind words... so thank you once again....... My Nephews were down for 5 weeks this summer visiting my brother.. He doesn't have them for their birthdays so we threw a duel party for them.. I gave the kids who attended a snap model... Dalton build his and his Mother Wendy sent me a picture of it.... Dalton I believe is Autistic though I never asked if that was it because to me it never really mattered he's an awesome kid with a very creative nature. Wendy sent me a note saying her husband sat down with Dalton one night and built the truck, she said they both had a blast!!!........ and this is why I am sharing http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac256/l...ithhismodel.jpg I hope this works!

Thank you both for answering Dad was very detailed in his models, there are boxes of parts, engines, bodies, bottoms, wheels, tires and so on and so on... I guess it makes sence why he'd buy several of these. Or maybe he just wanted them LOL

Hi Everyone! I just listed one of these on ebay and the instructions gave me a headache trying to figure it out haha. Has anyone owned one of these? I can't figure out what actually is the parts list on the instructions. Any help would be wonderful! Thank you oops Might help to tell you what it is huh? It says blueprinter stock no. 8158 grilles and engins parts pack.
