Hi Marshal, whats up with that??? your further south....please try to keep it from coming up here ok?...........mark

Hi Lyn, it only got up to 40 today, and is suppose to start getting cooler this week......YUCK ! i hate winter. you lucky dogs. i much rather it be in the mid 80s here year round.....is that too much to ask santa for? and of course my birthday lands on February so its still very cold and windy with that funny white stuff all over the ground. for my birthday last year i was sicker than a dog,hopefully this year ill be able to hide from it. last time it took me 5 days to get over it. got the flu shot this year.....so ha ha you viruses! nothing a two or three hour beach visit wouldnt cure at least mentally......have a great day and god bless.mark

Hi guys and girls, im glad the list went through,im kind-of new to computers and havent got a clue what im doing. and go ahead and rub it in it was 26 degrees when i got up this morning.....burrrrrrrrrrrr. sure you all dont want a little cool weather? ill share.....really i will. hope you all have a great weekend.....god bless,mark

Sweet trailer !!! great job on her. mark

Hi Lyn, i will send you a new updated list tonight at your e mail you listed.....THANKS !!!, what model? can you tell me what it was? i can use all the help and junk i can get at this point..........thanks everybody !!!!.god bless. mark

Hi guys, my first model was the johan haulin hearse.........yes i still have it......and the old flat box it came in, cant show photos though....its disassembled and in the works of getting cleaned up for restoration project......man i was too young or inexperienced for this thing at the time. my dad got it for me.....they need to get johans back out on the market. mark

hey marshal, what did you think of the pm i sent you about the gas station?..........mark

Hi crazyjim, id gladly ask them to do that......however you should know up here it probably wouldnt help....good idea though. im sorry that you will be forced to come back to the fridge.....hey why dont you bring the warm weather back with you?........its on my Christmas list to santa?.....its one of the best pain meds ever! or at least in my head it is. cold weather just kills me in my bones....and metal....and i dont like it. yep its just going to get worse up here you lucky dogs! ................take care and god bless. mark

Hi guys, tell me about it....the prices have gone nuts....and in my area nothing new ever shows up,except tuner cars which i dont care for so when i can manage to buy something to work on i have to go to e bay....double ouch! i just dont understand why the kits have gone up so much? i remember when the kits were great 3 in 1s , and not so thin that its fragile enough to get damaged in its own box. i can remember buying kits like these for $ 1.99 ? and wouldnt mind paying more with-in reason if they were more like they use to be.....almost makes you feel cheated over it all at times,omitting options,parts,ect. ,not to mention most shops will not return an open kit....how are you going to know the condition of it without opening it????? mark

H i Garrit, not a bad job by any means! old pete looks good....welcome! you in a good place here with builders that are very helpful and love to build, im kind-of new too...ive found them all to be a great bunch! be careful...once plastic gets under your skin it always will be.....it is for me. sorry to here that your unemployed at the moment....hang in there good things come to those that wait. i build almost anything with wheels but love trucks as well. good to meet you.........god bless . mark

Hi Crazyjim, people drive stupid up here too,when it snows or we have an ice storm its almost funny to watch some times. stupid driving is why im in my position im in.18 year old kid with moms car 60mph in a 30 with me stoped at a red light....not what id call smart driving ya know? if you could keep an eye out for the parts i need for my dads old models,it would be great! there old and theirs no way the model companies could replace the parts/ect. i need to find. they were in storage for years and have parts damaged too badly to fix or just are missing parts. i have relatives in the Donedon area my uncle, have been there before and i love it there...sand key beach is one of my favorite places to go when weve visited....its just beautiful there. you all are lucky its 25 digress right now here.....freezin my but off....did i mention i hate winter? hurry up summer! you guys and girls have a good time playing/working and thanks a lot! god bless. mark

Hi Gray07, the area listed as ( my controls ) is where you can enter personal info.....im still a little new myself here,but you will catch-on. anyone on here will be willing to help if you need something....there just great people. another way i think is to click on your user name, it will drop down to give you options of what you want to do from there if im not mistaken.........make sure your e mail address is listed correctly too.......mark

id gladly send her some snow, in fact she can have it all if she wants it , i know i dont................mark

Hi Maxwell, cool old truck! love the older trucks they were just plane mean old work trucks.....great job on this one!..........mark

Hey nice catches guys ! when i here a knock on the door its always a bill............what ya all using for bait?????????????? mark

hi darrin, welcome! i would probably post your info under the general form, you will get more responses there.....other than that you are in the right place, tell in your post a little more about yourself too....there are some great [people here................mark

Hi Porky, have you got one of the scoops? if not let me know...i think i have one in a box somewhere ?..........need anything else?...........mark

Hi Tommy, thanks for the info! been having some time finding parts i need to repair my dads old models.........every little bit helps.....thanks, mark

Hi James, thanks for the info! ive done that before to replace glass in some, however these have a odd almost a convex type of shape to them and regretfully this wont work with these...ive tried. thanks ! mark

Hi Lyn, if you run across any thing that sounds like id like let me know, really glad you have help.....i know how important it is. i love late 60s big bodied cars, some station wagons, and junk. im sure everything will go to a good home.....its also very nice to offer items to some pre e bay......lots of us cant compete with the big buck people. thanks i hope everything gos well for you. god bless. mark

Hi, im in close to the same boat here, i need to find a hood for the johan comet too.....mine was still sealed but had no hood at all? would like to build her as a factory stock 6cyl car as well. grandma ride with dog dish wheel covers. any hoods floating around out there?.........................mark

Hi, does anyone make replacement glass for the 61 to 64 ford pickups? im trying to restore some i inherited and cant find the glass for them.....need other parts for them as well.......stumped. mark

HI, there right in my opinion , both of you need to remember his experience level and that in mind it doesnt have to be show quality to enjoy building models.....skills come from experience and time. i think he will probably enjoy building it together with you and maybe you could teach him some tricks to building them. my first model came out horrible, but it started a life long love of the hobby.....i still have the first one....which i plan to rebuild in the future now that i have the tears of building to help me do it better.............maybe you should take two kits, it may spark his interest?............mark

nice work on truck! mad max car is the coolest car i ever seen, id trade any of our real ones for one to drive any day!!!!!!!!!!! mark
