  1. Good to see you here.....I am not as active here YET but still learning the ins and outs!
  2. One of my all time fav movies. (the REAL Gone not that Cage thing) I got to see the real Elanor at Peterson in LA a few years back. We went on a Tue morning and the place was almost empty. When I saw Elanor it had ropes all around it and do not touch signs....was someone going to hurt it?? I did lean over and touch it just to say I did!!! LOL
  3. Got my 70 Buicks Wed.....great work all! Thanks Dave...pick up one guys!
  4. First welcome..... Nice work!! I like 'Birds too........ box stock but a fun build......
  5. My son, who is a student a Marshall U, works full time this summer for WM. Per what he understands ever store is restructuring all departments. If the department makes money for that store in that location, it is kept and maybe expanded. If it is not making money, it is cut or eliminated. All the WM in this region are keeping and expanding model kits. SOP for big biz....most money for the floor space they have.
  6. How 'bout Route 66???
  7. The Wally's in our region are restructuring all depts. All the stores in this region are keeping model so far. They did dump some AMT kits when AMT/RC2/LC cut off the supply. They are eliminating some depts....some don't make sense. There is one WM in the two counties in my area. 2000 sq miles one store. My wife sews and knits. WM was the only store that carried cloth and yarn. So what dept did they delete?? Cloth and yarn. WM is getting so large that they don’t know what is going on at the local level. WM is not the problem when it comes to our hobby.
  8. I'm kinda mad at Mark and Co. from Charlotte.......they left before I got to see them!!! Wanted to say hello to Mark and Grant after I missed the model show in Charlotte this past Aug......next time guys!

    STP Turbine

    Nice work....I have two built ups I want to rebuild.
  10. Nice build.....saw one almost exactly like that on a trip to Pa. last week....only difference was the back half was missing. Came upon the wreck about 2 minutes after it happened. The owner was OK but looked REALLY SICK!!
  11. Using it since 1983...still happy with it. Get a wide 3/4 to 1 inch soft high quality sable brush. I paint the end of the handle so I know it's my Future brush. DO NOT USE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE. Start on the high point of the model, I start on the roof. Keep a wet edge and move quick but not fast. Roof, trunk, hood and sides. If you put on too much you can wick away the extra with a cloth or paper towel. If you really mess it up somehow you can wash it off with hot water if its not dry. Allow to dry 24 hrs before you handle it. It it gets dusty use a clean soft cloth damp with water to clean. If it really gets dull a thin coat of Future will restore. This 'Cop Out' is Tamiya black, no primer, with Future floor shine after decals. Check the roof reflection....good stuff!
  12. That's what some vendors are saying has been relayed to them from John.
  13. Got one...yet to build but only hear good things so far. I know some guys who have built 3-4 already! Good to see Revell hit one.
  14. I saw him selling some SciFi stuff not too long ago.
  15. Bobby what part of the state are you in?? I am near Lewisberg.......
  16. I WILL have one in 1/1 scale!! I last bought a new car in 2001 (PT) and have held off on a 300 because of the rumored Challenger. I think it will be a great garage mate for my 1973 Javelin...now that they both belong to the Mopar family!!
