  1. Part of the issue.....KIA My 13 Caddy back up cam went out. Ordered a cheap China camera. When it arrived it had a GM sticker with correct # on it.
  2. Revell did it back in the day. Been a while IIRC
  3. I saw video footage of a guy with old school blow torch being held by some people that caught him starting fires. What kind of Satan processed people are running wild out there???? NOT the So-Cal I grew up in. Thx MY 60's So-Cal home......
  4. Living in So Cal 1960-70 they need to go back to methods of that era. Back then the hills were covered with Fire Roads, paths 12-14 feet wide that were kept free of any growth. Controlled burns were common, Water management was very different. All these things were undone via the Green folks.......which must prefer fire over preventive measures. IMHO ONLY
  5. 6 inches of snow, got a little warm......then -2 degrees....now we have 6 inches of rock hard ice......and snow coming in an hour......Only thing I hate in WV.......
  6. 3 hoods and most all the old goodies....I'll get one.
  7. As someone that has been working on 65-73 Mustangs for 45 years AND someone trying to learn 3D art......this is all very well done.
  8. NOT dumping on HPI.......BUT saying that bent A pillars are normal and nothing can be done to keep it from happening is WRONG. My old Monogram issue of the kit has good A pillars!!!! At $60+ I expect a good product. IF I buy the Revell issue of it and has bent A pillars it goes back!!!
  9. Big Lots did model dumps years ago. I got the IH Payhauler 350 there years ago for $20 which at the time was just OK
  10. R2 has been selling slot car (truck) set there for over a year. Make sense they would add kits to the slot car sets. The sets sell out fast so I am sure there are more coming. My neighbor does most to the ground prep work for Love's and the owner has a vacation cabin near us.....
  11. Mad Max Falcon #1 Blade Runner Spinner #2 (really all the BR vehicles)
  12. Many of the needed parts are there........I bought the 'extra' parts in resin so I'd say yes!
  13. Very cool build!!! My grandfather had a number of AMC wagons....last one was a 'coffin nose'!
  14. Those statements do not keep me watching or from watching.....but his content is not so fantastic that negative comments go un-noticed. And with Thousands of model building chammels....to each his own!!
  15. I watch HPI unbox on every video and then bail. The negativity towards him comes from. I FEEL, comments like 'Yes there is a lot of flash...but if you can't handle it go back to Mom's basement'. He has a number of like sayings and it turns off many. More ower to him.
  16. Kinda interesting kit. I think AMT did box the car....the trailer and van are newer tooling.
  17. REALLY NICE WORK!!!! My favorite era of F1 and one of my favorite teams!! I have the IRATANI version kit but yet to build! Thanks
  18. I have a number of YouTube model videos over there. I do not do How To as I figure there are plenty of those already and most of us know how to bild. I may mention how I did something.....but no ste by step. Plus mine are ALL under 5 minutes so you don't spend a day watch. I look at it as sharing your work, like we do here, in a different format. Thanks https://www.youtube.com/@davevan8864
  19. Fantastic build!!!! Neat, clean and great paint. I love movie cars!! I am a little bias owning a real 46 Fat Ford!!!
  20. I hope all of you have a great Christmas. We are staying home with my oldest and family coming TUE and we will have a quiet 25th. Thanks to all for the fun, inspiration and help this year. God bless you and yours. West Virginia in the Caddy rather than a sleigh!!
  21. Not sure asking for $ is even allowed.......'d ask postmaster
  22. Thanks all!!! These bankruptcy era AMT kits were designed by John Bogosian.
  23. Little update on my post above........ The one package took 7 days to get the final 100 miles. Another package took THREE days to get here from Los Angles, CA to WV 3000k MILES There is ZERO logic thx
