  1. 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!!
  2. 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.
  3. Kinda interesting kit. I think AMT did box the car....the trailer and van are newer tooling.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Fantastic build!!!! Neat, clean and great paint. I love movie cars!! I am a little bias owning a real 46 Fat Ford!!!
  7. 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!!
  8. Not sure asking for $ is even allowed.......'d ask postmaster
  9. Thanks all!!! These bankruptcy era AMT kits were designed by John Bogosian.
  10. 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
  11. Another one of Showrod model history is up. Like and sib if you can Thanks
  12. RIP Fred.......
  13. My latest with some news........ I ordered a model part, it shipped from Mexico. I figured it would take a while. After only one week it showed up in New York Dist center. WOW.... It has now been sitting in Charleston WV dist center since Friday......arriving and departing gaily but not really going the last 100 miles to my house. Kinda SOP....sitting for a week is common now with USPS. But I get a e-mail from Squadron Hobbies today......They will no longer use USPS for ANYTHING. Per a memo on their site USPS is having major system problems at hubs......so they just sit on packages for a week......some have been sitting 2 weeks. Total failure that if they bank I worked for did this, computer outage for more than 3 hours, we'd be shutdown and taken over. FYI
  14. My build of AMT L'il Yeller is up.....with a small twist. Thanks
  15. My other hobby of O scale 3r layout. These are old AHM cars I rebuild. Thanks https://youtu.be/FlC_f8nC3_U
  16. That is COOL!! I've thought about doing my own of some lesser known racers.
  17. Forgot I had this one. Pulled it from my vault (basement) Never took photos or shown before. Revell kit box stock other than stance adjustment and after market decals. Tamiya paint. Thanks...like sub if you can
  18. My newest video on showrods is up. Give me a like and Sub if you can. THANKS
  19. This will happen more and more often. They are discovering that these EV batteries are subject to damage just riding around in their vehicles. Bumps and under body damage can cause a 'run away cell' ' that will in the end catch fire. When my brother in law bought a VOLT I told him never park inside. He laughed and then a few weeks later a BIG house burned to the ground near him in Charlotte when their VP:T caught fire. The VOLT lived outside after that. Hope all were OK
  20. VERY COOL!!!! We bought a 84 Mercury Topaz 4 door. NOT a great car. Trans went out at 20K niles. The 2 door Fords were pretty rare although a co-worker of my wifes had a 2 door manual trans car. Kinda like to have it!!
  21. My PC security is blocking your website.......says unsafe......may want to check. Stuff looks great!
  22. Kit, resin, die cast??? Nice work
  23. Being involved in NASCAR from 1984 to 1999......I had hopes for the film. But DoT turned out to be the worst NASCAR based film. 'Last American Hero' was a great film. Talladega Nights' was a comedy and more accurate than DoT. So plez....no sequel for DoT. I did love the cars!!!
