  1. I hit Revell up for the S&H Torino in 1984......it took a while but I got it!!!
  2. Renewal Pierce Arrow – This rebuilder needs a new life of elegance. Monogram Uncertain T
  3. Drop R2 a note saying so......it does make a difference!
  4. ZZR is my grail. The kit is not that good, I have 3 junkers, and the real car was an oddity for sure. But I love the film for the campy 60's style that brings back growing up in SoCal...... My dream is to get a mint or new kit and build it with a full detail chassis and correct a few things.
  5. Same here.......my go to was 'Flex-i-file' glue, paint or Tamiya masking tape. Always something. Last 2 visits I left with zero.
  6. Back when I printed 40% off I'd print extra and hand them to anyone in the model isle.....99.999% of the people did not know about it. I hate the loss of the 40% as I will never get supplies at a deal.....but Hobby Lobby knows what they are doing......still making $$$
  7. I understand the need for ads.........but agree the ads that are 2 or 3 screens tall seem out of place.....and they are often blank pages!
  8. Very nice work!!! I bought one to build the car from 'Romancing the Stone' film!
  9. I want 2-3 of these.......
  10. No first hand info here.....but I worked for Gofer at one time. He was a big hobby distributor at one time and did private issue kit and I think he knew Pete at Atlantis....so makes sense he would have Atlantis runs some stuff. They may be over runs of items Atlantis is doing.
  11. I have asked about both. Both were altered and would need retooling. I kinda doubt ewe will see them again.
  12. The original Monogram tooling of the Vette was for a model of a car from a TV show. The TV did not have wipers so neither did the kit. The TV show was gone quick but not the kit!
  13. Yes...funny stuff.
  14. Move it to WV.....we had a HUGE car show last weekend with thousands attending over 2 days. Parts of it were indoors with more people than would attend a IPMS event. Sad the way things are going.
  15. This is one of the few ERTL kits I never owned. It looks great and very 'ERTL' and that is a positive. Thanks for sharing Tim.
  16. I have gone to Flex-i-file glue after Ambroid went out of biz.
  17. How do we get the decals?? Nice work on Milner's rail
  18. RIP Bobby......
  19. That's a big bird! nice work
  20. The 1/8 Jag was run by RoG last so they may have it. The 32 Ford was in China last so doubt Atlantis has it. Not sure where Camaro's or Firebird molds ended up. Send Pete/Atlantis a note and suggest.
  21. Thanks....the orange was a tip of the hat to the Carolina red clay that is everywhere!!!!
