  1. Well done! It looks like a great work in progress refurb! Good weathering! Sam
  2. Man, that is NICE! Great work on the bricks. The whole scene has tons of character. Excellent!! Sam
  3. I thought you guys might enjoy a couple pics of my model car display from today's Bellefonte Cruise Car Show in Bellefonte, PA. I had three dioramas set up with about 30 models. One dio is a downtown car show, one is a 1950's diner, and one is moving into tents at the Centre county Grange Fair in Centre Hall, PA, thought to be the last remaining tent fair in the country (138 year tradition). The display got hundreds of lookers all day. I got many compliments and comments like "I built models 40 years ago," and "Is that a Hudson?" This is my third year at this show, and it was fun, and I think was good publicity for our hobby. Here's part of the display with my wife, Sonnia at right. Here's the diner with 1950's cars. Here's part of the car show diorama. Pardon the mismatched molding on the pizza shop. A piece broke off and I glued it back on poorly! Thanks for looking!
  4. Very nice! Looks good in red. I always liked those roadster tonneaus on the T-birds. Good build! Sam
  5. Looks good! Nice color, and I like the wheels with dark spokes. Good work! Sam
  6. Very cool '34! I like that snap-tite kit. It makes a very presentable model in little time. The blue color is a good choice. The whitewalls are cool, too! Sam
  7. Wow! Great engine and chassis details! Good work! Sam
  8. Looks great! That interior is killer - great job on it! I like the two tone red. Sam
  9. I love that car! The paint looks good to me, and the foil work is excellent! Nice job! Sam
  10. Great build! The idea of purple and green sounds awful, but those shades really work well on this car. Great wheels, too! Sam
  11. Very nice, Harry! That kit is pretty simple, but your extra detailing made it 100% better! Great work! Sam
  12. Very creative work! Looks great! Sam
  13. Beautiful '57! Great color choice. That's a great kit, but I wish it came with a back seat. Good work! Sam
  14. Emmanuel, that's a great build of a seldom seen muscle car! The paint looks really good! Nice work! Sam
  15. Beautiful build! Looks very real in the photos. Nice color, and well done! Sam
  16. Great build! I like it in black. I recently built that kit. It had a warped chassis and many fit issues. Yours looks really good! Sam

  18. Nice clean classic hot rod! Great build! Sam
  19. It's a beauty! Very clean build. VW should have produced that! Sam
  20. Dan, that's a great build! Nice blend of old and new. Great concept and excellent work! Sam
  21. Beautiful Jag! The sunroof is a very nice addition. Harry could have used those photos for the real or model forum! Great work! Sam
  22. Now that's different! I can't remember ever seeing a Rolls Royce hot rodded! Cool concept, well done! Great diorama, too. Sam
  23. Great looking '53! The colors work well. Nice build! Sam
  24. Very nice! That color is an eye-popper for sure! Good work! Sam
  25. Andrew, I've made coil springs by winding soft craft wire around a piece of music wire or a wooden dowel rod. The wire is dead soft and springs back only a tiny bit. I wind a coil about 2 inches long, then slide it off the rod and cut it into shorter pieces with wire cutters. Michael's Craft Stores have the wire in many gauges. Sam
