Ollie's strike again

$13 for the Trikes is to high....or I'd get a set. -
Goodbye Hot Rod Magazine?
Dave Van replied to Rockford's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
At one time I took 12 or so magazines a month. I am down to three now. But the magazines are killing themselves. Many of the mags I took went from 12 issues a year to 4....at a higher price!!!! So it's death by killing themselves as much as anything -
Very nice work!!! I have 2 connections to this car. Dad was Valvoline racing rep 1960-70 and jnew Bill. Then when Model King issued the kit I supplied the decal artwork......thanks

Nice work....came out great even with challenges. I learned to drive in our family 73 Pinto wagon. A neat car really. Dad took me to a huge parking lot, handed me the keys and said 'Go drive'. $ speed manual....I did just that. Thx

It's a clone of the old Aurora kit but yet to build it.... -
This is the last issue of the kit. It had 'stock' parts like wheels, tires, engine etc but it is a model of a altered OLDS car into a truck flatbed. So stock is not bone stock anything. But it is a gReat start to many a vintage build. Thx

MOMO Porsche 935, 1/24......
Dave Van replied to Allan31's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Well done build!! I like that kit. KINDA curbside and simple it can be made to look good. The kit started out as a Japanese kit, sold to ESCI. RC2 bought ESCI and used the 935 kit twice. A while back AMT asked if I had any mint kits as they wanted to find the tooling. They never found it and a year laterItlaeri issued it. Somehow it ended up there. -

Maybe R2 is throwing in odds and ends to fill cases?????? -

I'd not mind getting the trikes and Creep Coupe!! I checked Beckley WV and they had 2 74 Road Runners and 2 Jeeps. Odd how one store gets a ton while another gets nothing. -

The luck of the Ollie's draw!!! I wasn't looking for the RR......I wanted a Go Kart. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and am wheelchair bound......wanted a Go Kart to build while in recovery. Brush paint like a 10 year old I was!!! -
Not a review, but a future release "hopefully" - Mustang II
Dave Van replied to Sledsel's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I'll really dream and hope I can get a Mustang II coupe so I can model our original 1/1 car we own!!! -

My haul from FEB 10............ The Coke P/U and Coronet came from WalMart. $8 and 10 on close out. The other are Ollie's. I noted the Bond police cars had Hobby Lobby price tags on them. I want the Go Cart......so I'll check other stores. Thx -

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The original builder of 'T' is alive and a bit 'Different' fellow that has been planning for 15 years to make a new model kit of the car. He is also known for litigation.....the perfect storm I bet Atlantis has no interest sailing into. -

Dave Van replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Pretty sure tooling is long gone. Per those at RM many years ago. A clone could be done....but not what Atlantis does right now. Add to it licensing issues with original builder.
