  1. At a swap meet today I bought an MPC Keep on Truckin' 32 Delivery Van kit which I think is from sometime in 1970's. Good to see the upcoming re-release will be properly identified as a Sedan Delivery. The body in this old kit is molded in white while everything else is black. The proportions of the body look pretty good to me but the shape of the top of the rear door is not correct as it should have rounded edges according to photos I have seen. I cut out the fender liner to try the body with the Revell 32 Ford frame, fenders, hood and grill. It will need some work where the body meets the gas tank but it is definitely doable.
  2. Very excellent Woody build. I like the stock look with the enhanced 4-banger. It looks like the doors were engineered to open but can imagine they are not easily done.
  3. Another nice "barn-find". Like the fresh "steel or aluminium" trunk.
  4. You really captured the barn find look rolling on fresher wheels and rubber.
  5. Your A in full scale would be at very welcome at a Race of Gentlemen event which in terms of the style of cars is sort of the reincarnation of the early dry lakes days.
  6. That has got to be one of the most gorgeous shades of blue I have ever seen.
  7. Incredibly creative and executed. Definitely a piece of art.
  8. Cannot get over how good you are doing these "never was" models!!
  9. A very fitting and impressive model car tribute to the legendary The Mongoose
  10. This has got to be one of the most recently reissued
  11. Previous to seeing your model which I like very much I was not familiar with the 961 so did a little research. Interesting bit of Porsche history.
  12. Amazing weathering on a couple of models you certainly do not see very often. Cannot get over how realistic the tool box looks.
  13. Nicely done . Will always be one of my favorite racecars.
  14. I am going to add my congratulations with everyone else on a great looking A-Coupe Hot Rod. I like it very much.
  15. Thanks Tim. Fantastic group of Model A builds in so many different styles. I hope those who do not have Model A Coupe kits in their stash will have the opportunity to buy new kits in the near future and if not have after market options to fill their desires.
  16. Gorgeous!! Excellent execution.
  17. Great looking Lola T-70 and impressive build and restoration of the IMC kit
  18. Yes, being Canadian I have used the AMT Meteor grill on two projects - a Hardtop built 20 years ago and a Ranchero built 6 years ago
  19. Very cool. I like the Meteor grill. An older guy in high school had a green one very much like this but hardly ever went to class so did not see very often.
  20. Looks to me like you built three unless the rusty derelict started as one of the shinny black versions. Very cool.
  21. Looks just like the one my high school gym teacher had. There were actually two Morgans in the HS parking lot. My English teacher had a black four seater and named one of his kids Morgan. Going to have to build the kit someday that has been in my stash since it first came out.
  22. I would like to see more photos of this fantastic historic collection
  23. Nice to see an old CHAMP car. These were pretty nice kits back in the day and offered many different liveries with both road course and speedway configurations. Some even came with rain tires. I really like the current Indy Cars and look forward to seeing and hearing them in reality at the Portland race Labor Day weekend.
  24. Very well done small scale model of a great subject.
  25. Excellent build. Certainly an historic and memorable livery
