Very Sad News from ModelHaus Today
disabled modeler replied to 59-Desoto's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Same from me...god bless them all prayers will be coming. -
I have 2 67 Cadillac Coupe Deville HT promos from my dads old stuff but sadly they both need a lot..sorry no photos of them. They need body,glass,bumpers,wheels,taillights to restore them. I also have a Johan 68 Coupe DeVille HT...needs glass and body though...bummer.
-
Things I hate.... Trying to find the much needed parts to restore them. Chassis screws always seem to be missing. Needing 70s series width white wall tires and none for them. Doing weeks worth of bodywork just to have a bad can of paint ruin it all when you have to strip it. Things I love.... 60s and 70s models and promos. Johan snap kits. Building keeps me from living a bored life. The satisfaction of restoring an old kit or promo. Building vehicles the family owned when I can find them. My brother modelers.

"Unbuildable"
disabled modeler replied to johnbuzzed's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
OUCH...! been there done that...a few years ago I almost cut my thumb of with a razor knife tool. Any kit can be built...one just might not like it or it might not be a good one but they all can be built...there are times where id build anything just to kill being bored. -
Welcome Cliff.... . I have been at it all my life...kits,restorations,promos,etc.

Me I am a mostly HT kind of guy but all those are cool.

-
Id like to find the Johan snap kit Javlen or AMX kit....never could find one in decent shape reasonable.

Selling your builds?
disabled modeler replied to Dragfreak's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have never sold one of my builds...traded a few over the years and built some for others to have for free. Shipping is always a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH shoot....they ether get there ok or not some people just do not care on the job and have no respect. Usually if someone sends me something for myself Ill have it the rest of my life and will be part of my collection...a friend of mine passed and he left his collection to me about 15 years ago...still have all of them. -
Nice!... I have that one with a metal chassis...roof part warped cracked and brittle though.

Darren.... wish i would have been here they would have gotten a surprise from me... Worst thing is they are family items that cant be replaced for the most part...ones still here could be saved if I could find the needed parts and the list is huge. -
Post your oldest model picture
disabled modeler replied to Scott Colmer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Most of my old childhood ones are gone or damaged badly...a few years ago just before Christmas i left to go to a doctor visit and came home to an open door which was locked when I left. Many boxes of them were taken a long with some of my dads oldies and promos...others were tossed,stepped on in their rush I guess?.... -
Nice... ...we use to own a 74? AMX years ago. Never could find the Johan snap kit of it though or a promo,kit. I do think AMT made a kit of it once a long time ago?
