Beautiful work Bob, and excellent photography too I might add. Great to meet you last weekend!

Welcome aboard Bob! What's your last name and have we met?

Bookmarked! Thank you for the heads up.... (any chance I could twist your arm into putting your first and last name in the signature box found in the profile section of this board?) 8)

Now that am home, I found the issue that the original illustration which inspired the Wagon Rod was published first... ah, in. Car Modeler, #33 Sept '95.

Shirts are always available through the mail! Simply email Gregg and get his address for sending payment. $15.00 for large to extra large. $17.00 for XXL to XXXL. Of course there will be a slight postal charge... The shirts are the same as the earlier ones with the same 3 window coupe on the back. Brought back by popular demand, but ... with the new Model Cars logo. Order now or wait until NNL East!

Short answer was I designed the exterior, not the interior. Of the many illustrations that I sent to AMT for the Slammer series someone picked the Chevy woody design for a full kit. The interior and chassis were designed by someone at AMT, as was the name. When I get back home I'll tell you all issue and page where you can find the original illustration published in Car Modeler sometime back in the early 90's.

Zeb, Announcements like that belong in the Contest anouncement section of this board and not in the Ask Gregg and Jairus column of the magazine. K? J

OK, this is a message to "Guest" and anybody else who is intrested. You must first register before posting a message in this Forum. ' Oh yes, registering also means putting your real name in the signature box found in the profile section of this board, or registering under your real name if you don't want to use a nickname. We don't want any "hit and run" posters messing up a good forum, do we? Normally nobody would be able to post a message using the "Guest" monoiker but I suppose I missed a setting... so sue me. If Mr. Guest re-posts this message after registering then anyone is free to answer the question. Thank you. Now we return to our regularly scheduled program....

I don't see how anybody could NOT have a great time with wild and crazy guys like you all? Not to mention fantastic modelers... Flight back to the mainland was great. We rented a van and are currently in Alabama visiting. Heading back to Atlanta GA on Thursday. (P.S. Ariel, please put your name in the signature box dude so all the friends out there can match your face with "Da Troll". And, welcome aboard my friend!)

Gregg and I are back in the hotel room, tired but very happy. We just got back from attending a fantastic car show here in beautiful Puerto Rico! (Were the girls are beautiful and the rum flows... ah, well never mind) The 4th Caribbean Scale Auto Expo is the permire event for the island featuring about 300 models, vendors, prizes, music, dancing and some of the most beautifully built ... model cars found in North America! A full write up will be featured in a future issue of Model Cars Magazine coming to a Hobby Shop near you. However, if you want to visit a tropical paradise, meet some of the nicest people on the planet and see for your self the quality of model cars. THEN I suggest you make plans to attend next year. You won't be disappointed!

Now that's COOL!

Butyrate for windshields and styrene for body parts. I usually stay with .015 thickness for all as a starting place. Thicker for more structure and thinner for more detail. Good luck... but it really is very easy once you get the hang of it! Jairus

Osama, You can't remain anonymous for long as posting privileges requires you to put your real name, first and last, in the signature box found in the profile section of this board. Lurk all you want but please consider following the forum rules if you plan to post. Which I hope you do 'cause this is a neat forum!!! Jairus

Ask a moderator. What do you want moved?

Issue #117 is in the mail, #116 has been out for a month now. If you have a subscription question call 303-296-1600 during mountain time business hours.

Rather than having a duplicate post... I moved the original thread to the finished forum. Nice build by the way....

Your wish is my command! Post finished models pics in the "Under Glass" forum.

Very nice weathering, VERY nice!

Welcome aboard Gerry! I think you will enjoy the smooth ride here at MCM forums.... 8)

Golden Bell Press decided in 2005 that MCM calendars were not in the cards so.... NO, there will not be a 2007 calendar. Sorry guys but I wish it were different....!

Now that's cool! You gotta love these "over the top" rods of the '60s! Nice build!

Beautiful work! Wish you would post more pictures because this is the quality of work I want to see more of. Thank you for joining and posting. NOW, GET IT DONE!!!!

Taken care of! Please, let one of the moderators via email know when this happens again, Okay? We watch pretty closely what is posted but Gregg and I were busy today.... Thank you Craig for sounding the alarm! By the way... I have ABBA's boxed set and I love their music too but this person was from Japan so the punishment may be relevant! 8)

Welcome Greg! Keep your hands and arms inside the car and have a great time post't n'read'n!!!

That is a very nicely done custom there... taking it to GSL? You should!
