You're right, Helmut; Franklin Mint, not Danbury. This is what happens when....

      A  -You have too many cars (Is that possible?) and/or 

      B -You're posting in a rush because you need to get out to the front yard and pull weeds. We've had a really wet winter and spring in California.

I just sold one of those cars at the Brass Armadillo. With those wheels on it I may have wanted to keep it,lol 

[DESERT SCALE CLASSIC 19 - April 15, 2023]

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the show. 

[LIVE! DESERT SCALE CLASSIC 18 LIVE!]

I'm all packed with a truck load of bargains.   It will be great seeing everyone.  

[LIVE! DESERT SCALE CLASSIC 18 LIVE!]

Hello All, 

A few months ago I posted on my social media this was happening. Now I am getting messages asking where I got the information because they can't find anything on it. I searched, including the Desertscaleclassic web site, not even a mention of anything going on this year.  

This has always been a great model show by a nice group of model builders that make if fun.  I sure hope it gets back to normal.  

[2016 Ford Mustang - Grabberblue 1/18]

Very Nice!

Eric,

Have enjoyed your pictures.  As an aside you might be interested in HubleyCustomDiecast at Facebook.  And, I have pictures of some of my Model A Fords at website Model A Ford Club of America.  Just look for Member Built Hubleys.  Always interested in discussion.  My current project is the A400 Convertible Sedan.

Hello John, This is a great place to post WIP photos of your builds. 

[Picked this up at a Farm Toy show for $10]

I already have one but I sure would have grabbed that up. I have mine next the the 53 maroon convertible. 

[1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4door Sedan (1/24, Salvat Mexico)]

Great looking model for the price point.  Thanks for sharing 

[Minichamps 1.43]

I really like the wagons, they need to make more of them, all scales. 

 

[Hubley Model As never offered by Hubley]

Very nice!  I too have built several of these. Most of mine are customs.  I saw on one of the forums a few years ago someone made the A-400 Ford.  

[Desert Scale Classic XV - April 13]

Just signed up for my regular tables.  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

[Tucson AZ toy show - March 3 - 2019]

I will be setting up there. It's a good show. 

[Tonka "Mighty Dump" toy truck restoration]

Looks better than new. 

[1947 Ford COE hauler repaint]

Nice build, looks way better than the original issue.  Great job on the weathering. 

[Copperhead takes first place.]

Congratulations!  That is an awesome build. 

[NEO 1.43 Jaguar MK 9]

Very nice looking model. 

[(PICS) Cult Scale Models' resin FJ40 Land Cruiser (with minor adjustments)]

Nice looking model. great job on the wheels.

[(Update)'60 Falcon Gasser "Copperhead" is finished.]

Looks great to me.  Love gassers!

[BOS-MODEL's 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 Touring Sedan]

Very Nice! 

[Stephanie's Rose 41 Willys Hot Wheel]

That turned out great.  I do love a nice Willys

[redoing a 68 yenko p/t camaro painted]

Hey, This turned out great. Glad you got back to it and finished it up. 

Love the color and the finish looks awesome.  Do you mind telling us what paint you used? 

 

[Boss 429 Mustang]

These Mustangs do look nice the way you guys cleaned them up. 

Interesting! Can you tell me the particular brand? Some nail polish remover is quite strong--I'm sure would take paint off as well. Some of it will eat plastic!

First, You want to use "Acetone Free " nail polish remover.  Acetone Can ruin the paint, in a hurry.   A note on the Acetone Free polish is, it does have an expiration date so check it at the store before you buy it. Sometimes it is hard to find the date but all brands are dated.

[56 Ford Nomad]

I have some HW-61 70 Mustang back seats that may work.  I have the buckets also but the hinges are broke so they won't fold forward. 

[1/18 Diecast 40 Ford Dirt Track Car]

Welcome back. 

Here is one a guy from Cleveland built several years ago using the Ertl 1/18 Ford. If you click on the photo it should go to Folki for more photos. 

May give you some ideas??? 

[New from Danbury Mint]

When DM was still making models they sold some that were made by GMP, now Acme.   This car was made by Highway 61 a few years ago and can be found for as low as $25.00. It will be a different color.
