disabled modeler

I have been looking for over 10 years for parts to repair my dads oldies...some are early 70s Dodge vans...1 of them is the window van way too cool not to come back someday.

Hubley made kits and promos of the early 60s Ford wagons I have a 60 and 61 Ford wagon that was offered as a kit-which needs a body and glass and our local antique mall has a 62 Ford wagon promo.

Makes me think of the 60s Chevy vans.

I got started when my dad got me my first kit when i was around 6 or 7 years old been hooked ever since...lucky to still have my first one even though it needs lots of parts and a rebuild it was the old Johan Haulin-Hearse. I always liked passing the time building when I became disabled it was more important than ever and still is to me...great hobby with great people.

Hang in there Dave and keep positive mind you can beat it...I had skin Cancer once took two times to remove it all but never came back or any other signs of it. My thoughts and prayers are your buddy.

Kind of looks like the old Johan Sox and Martin Cuda hood to me?

NICE 66!!!!!!!

I like the 60s to mid 70s promos damaged or not like restoring them if possible otherwise they become models. My dad had a few some I already restored. I have Corvette promos from 70 to 95 years if anyone is looking for them..too new of a body style for me.

Me too on both the AMT and MPC programs.

Anne... With spring time weather coming don't forget garage sales and second hand stores are good places to look for models and good deals...been doing that for years.

I cut my thumb to the bone got some nerves and 8 stitches.

Way COOL!.... now if they just would make a 64 Bonneville 4door wagon so i could build my moms old car

Good tip...I have used them for years to make things like a rail dune buggy or other items.

Very nice!!!

WOW!...now that is shopping! LOL

Hi Anne... I thought the Lindberg 61 Impala kit was pretty good myself...nice detail and built pretty nicely so Id say it was a good kit in my opinion.

I heard from Joe himself about his wifes passing...she had been pretty sick for awhile now but it never makes it any easier. I consider Joe one of my best friends and buds...his family has my prayers.

COOL... wish they would make things like this in 1/25th or 1/24th scale

Very nice... I have the Johan model been trying to restore. The decals make a lot of difference.

Nice work Lee... Great builds just take time no race to get them done.

COOL.... I like it.

COOOOOOOOL!!!

I heard a rumor maybe in December 2013...ether way it cant be soon enough for me.

Id really build anything but there are models i could build as many as I could get a hold of...there is always another way to be built from the last version done.

The passion for building is a on-going learning process that gets in your blood quickly...time and experience is the best teacher. There are many great people here with various talents or specialties to learn from...never be afraid to ask a question.
