THAT is fantastic work!!!! I was in HO until 1993 when I went O3r. I still have all m HO stuff and at times think I should have built a HO layout in my 32 x 24 foot space.....but too far in now! There is so much good stuff in HO I still pick up a kit now and then. Did this one recently. Just a Walthers kit. Thanks

AMT Mustang II Hell Drivers Thrill show car
Dave Van replied to gasman's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The Mustang II only had card stock printed ramps. They will not be in this reissue per R2. The Ford and Mercury kits had plastic ramps in them. -

First off I had a great time. Show had many elements of the old Toledo NNL shows. Saw lots of friends, will not say who cause I'll forget someone. Those that saw me and came up THANKS....always nice to met internet friends. Picked up a few great deals. R2/AMT was there with Steve Goldman, JoHan and company were set up too. I am working on a project with them....info soon I hope. Show was very well run in a nice facility. ONLY suggestion is to break the line into those with models to enter and those w/o. The line would move faster..... VERY minor thing! Some may know I did a video series on these kits....found a mint kit for a good deal...look for a build video. A 3D print by a guy who has just started. I have always liked these Super Modified. I called them Red Neck Formula One cars. Lots of cool innovation. At $55 a decent deal. 3D is just starting to change the hobby.......amazing stuff. He had a few different and some decals. Bought another Blade Runner Spinner kit as it was cheap and these are drying up....now I need to build one. Overall a great weekend, saw my brother and his wife after the show and spent some time, he had foot surgery and we just sat around and talked. Side note: First trip with the Caddy where I did this much driving. LOVE this car....real hiway cruiser. Thanks for looking!!!

For you model rail builders I just finished this On30 scale 3D printed box car. Nice little kit. I added step, couplers, brake wheel and wheel sets. I used Intermountain 38" wheels #40048. Tamiya AS green paint. I am making RGS decals for it now. Sold by all4toys. Thanks

Very nice work!!I have a Allison story about that car. Bobby was at the SEARS auto center at South Park mall in Charlotte. Penske had just switched from the Matador to Mercury. I asked Bobby which he liked better the AMC or Merc?? 'That is a Matador' pointing to the Mercury beside him. 'We just reskined all the AMC's'
