  1. I don't mind the challenge of making the figures look realistic and I think some models benefit from having them with them...dioramas,etc. If anyone wants to toss them out Ill take them and use them in my projects.
  2. Many of the older kit dies had figures and other optional parts, accessories made into them...even the Lincoln Futura figures can be modified to look as others and better with some work. Just would be nice to see the extra goodies make a comeback.
  3. I like to build the body styles of the 60s to mid 70s....2door,4door,wagon,van,pickup,etc. just like the body styles better.
  4. I wish they hadn't disappeared from the kits...to me it was one of the selling points like the old 3 in 1 kits...they cant save the companies that much plastic but could cost a customer at times. I have actually gotten kits,build ups just for the figures with them.
  5. Welcome back to the hobby Justin!... Sorry to hear about your injuries...I have those to deal with too and building is a great escape from it all and great therapy. In my area there is no hobby shops to go to...get most of mine from garage sales,second hand stores and trading with others,etc. There have been many changes with the hobby..some good some bad but there starting to bring back many of the good old kits.
  6. That is beautiful Tim....very nice!
  7. Ill second that in 1/24th or 1/25th scale....would be great to have some mid 60s to early 70s van kits come out.
  8. Id like to see a list....never know you may have something I need in them?
  9. I like them...nice work!
  10. COOL!... now that brings back memories... I built one like that in the early 70s.
  11. The shorty van is sweet!...Id drive it on the streets.
  12. I have traded for a few of his bodies...been very happy with them.
  13. NICE!....Yeah lets see more
  14. I got my two 61 to 63 Fords(2WD) from my dads old collection of about 75 cars/trucks or so....still looking for parts to repair/restore them. Its kind of a life goal to get them restored and put in cases so they will be around for a long time to come. The parts needed list is huge and have had very little luck so far with them...bummer.
  15. I have been looking for the Signet for years....Nice score!
  16. I myself have two of the 61 to 63s I am trying to restore of my dads once I find the parts they need...cant afford the resins for them so there going to have to wait....bummer I like these body styles. Thinking I have a bed from the 60 though here somewhere.
  17. NICE!
  18. I use the old boxes for storage but the cool or old ones I use for wallpaper....you take the bottom and push a push pin through the bottom into the wall and simply place the cover over it.
  19. Id love to build some like the cars/trucks I owned and like our family had when I was growing up but there too hard to find and afford.
  20. SWEEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!!! Id love to build most of the vehicles from the first movie.
  21. For me it would have to be a 67 to 72 Chevy Suburban or a 66 to 75 International Travelall.
