  1. Very well done!!! I love the look. My dream is all those Monogram 6 in 1 kits are restored to better than new.
  2. Nice clean work!!
  3. AMT/Model King reissued 74 Chevelle / Laguna kit. Same as the Pond kit but it does not have the Laguna nose clip. Thanks
  4. Or a Coke!!! RIP Bobby
  5. Very cool story. You can tell he knows he needs to sell it.....but deep down does not want to. It also shows that having a passion for something helps you live longer.
  6. Latest Illogical USPS story..... One once envelope Dayton Ohio to me in WV.....8 days...... Medium size box from upstate NY to me in WV 48 hours.. WHY?????????????? PS: My son now works for USPS and has given me some insight........'Don't try and think about it'.
  7. No help here....sorry. In 20 years+ never had that issue. Gotta be a bad batch of paint.
  8. Maybe the best looking 'Girl next door' stars. So many good films and TV.........RIP Terri......
  9. 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
  10. Thanks for sharing.....looks like a great show. The first Capri and the Fairmonts my FAV.......I've had Fairmont coupe and wagon.....wish I still had them. My last event at Charlotte Motor Speedway....Mustang 55th
  11. On my TV I have to change the Ratio depending on what I am watching......it's different for DISH, streaming and DVD watching.
  12. 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.
  13. I'd have to buy a few...............
  14. 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!!!
  15. Heading that way in a few minutes......Say hi to the guy with the VGG Gas can shirt!!
  16. 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
  17. In a AI generated video this Camaro was featured. It's a mix of 1979 and 1982 Camaro bodies that while different I can see how it may have been a real between model. I owned a real 82 Z28 so it caught my eye. Thx
  18. I think you gave her the best life possible. As always having a cat in my life since I was 3, I have had many. You did well.........
  19. I plan on being there.....say HI!!!!
  20. 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'
  21. I had no idea this kit was coming. I had a 1/12 resin 917 but sold it when they got $$$$$. Thanks for sharing.
  22. Nothing new in Lewisburg WV today
  23. Sorry...fixed it I hope!!!!
