I worked on this 1954 F100 for a couple of years before I ended up moving cross country and sold it due to logistics. I also sold my Firebird and Lemans. Many projects before that. I'm older now so just have this 66.

Wow! That looks real.

I missed this comment earlier. I read the Gap Cycle when I was a teenager and it was amazing to me at the time. I then read The Mirror of Her Dreams and A Man Rides Through. Loved all of it. It was so different than Asimov or Bradbury.

I have to believe the Pocher of today makes somewhat better kits than the ones they did in the 1970's. I mean, there are folks selling CDs full of hints and tips to overcome the poor quality and fit and finish issues of those old ones. That being said, where else are you going to get these 1/8 scale marvels for "reasonable" prices. And the results can be stunning. i have a few of the Alfas, a Fiat and a couple Rolls kits. I bought them all second hand and still had to justify the price in my mind...

Nice Titanic, Lucius. I've dabbled in paper modeling from time to time. I have a large stash of printed and electronic kits gathered over the last twenty years or so. Paper modeling takes a different set of skills but the results can be amazing. Also, it's quite economical compared to styrene...

Incredible display! Is it just me, or is that video threatening to give anyone else a seizure?

Well I bought these today. I'm giddy with anticipation of arrival. ?

Thanks for the input guys. I'd actually thought of using steam, but wasn't sure how much is too much. I ended up getting impatient and used my hands and a very blunt blade to pull them apart. As it turns out, only the gluey substance between the decals printed on the sheet was stuck to the back of the other sheet. So I spent a while prying them apart. Ended up losing one decal. That being said, I'm not sure they are not all discolored anyway. We shall see. Thanks for the tip. Is this a member or an internet business?

I recently acquired a well used Entex 1/8 John Player Special Lotus kit. It seems mostly complete but I haven't taken a full inventory just yet. One thing I have noticed is that the decal sheets are partially fused, I assume from improper humid storage. One sheet is fine, it's the one that is behind it that is concerning. Both sheets are unused and I'd really be interested to know if anyone has had success in separating sheets like this with minimal damage. Thanks for any suggestions.

Very nicely detailed. It's a shame they are so hard to see once installed.

Wow! Really great work on all of those.

Just the right amount of weathering in the engine bay. Well done.

Very nice ride!

I read somewhere back in the 1980's that the only was to be sure to get rid of the ghosting is to grind the logo off and fill. I don't know, I've never tried it.

Man what a yacht!

Uh...that top shelf...?

My kind of car! Thanks for sharing!

looks pretty good actually.

Hey Bob, I have some ancient artists pastels that seem to work pretty well. I've actually resorted to using real dirt or dust and that works fine too as long as you make sure to keep it in scale.

Tax refunds always seem like found money until you realize the things that need doing.?

Amazing woman there!

That is some impressive modeling! You can almost feel the dirt on that bike.

Amazingly life-like!

Welcome! Great looking models. I know what you mean about the older cars. They still looked like "stock" cars.

I NEED all three of those kits.
