It never did that...just acted like it couldn't do it for some reason..? it just kept going back the message I was trying to send.

I just tried to send a PM to a member and it would not send it..? strange.

Very cool..! I know some of you couldn't care less about the box arts but me...I love the old ones...like to find some.

I missed my chance to get the Western Star while it was out....who knows..?

Casey..I believe the 65 and 59 Elcamino camper tops were the same ones...no clue which one had it first..? I have a 63 Ford pickup from my dads old ones that has a badly messed up camper top like the funky looking one on it..shame its so bad I kind of like it.

Me...I pretty much stick with 1/25th or 1/24rth scale but have been wanting to try some large scale stuff lately just to see what all added detail I can put into one.

Welcome Chris..!

Thanks for the information Russell....I think there cool but id bet they were top heavy.

Stunning build...! Love the weathering and rear tires used on it.

Is there any news from the other companies...????

Love it Bob....very cute and nice.

Wayne...have you tried PM ing him..? Hope you can get a hold of him.

Welcome Vukan...! Ask anything here related to the life...there are many very kind people on here always willing to help out if possible. The 60s and 70s were my favorite years of modeling...the best kits were made back then in my opinion...your lucky.

Its those dang Gremlins...they must be building something cool with all those parts somewhere..?

That is cool....anyone remember the plastic badges the MPCs use to come with..?

I have dropped parts and never found them after years...even after several times cleaning up the place...?...your not alone in this crazy boat.

What a great way to spend the day Vince.

I like that long bed Ford pickup. Here is some others that would be great to see back on the shelves for us all again....we can only dream or hope they might someday... 73-76 Dodge vans/long bed pickups stock 71/72 Mercury Cyclone Revell..please give us the Un-Real Roller..LOL 68/69 Dodge Coronet R/Ts 67 Chevy pickup 65/66 Dodge Monaco stock 66-69 Ford Falcons 68/69/70 Bonneville HTs 69-72 Grand Prix 71 Pontiac Sprint II The AMT early modified Ford race team set...pickup/trailer/even without the dirt track car. Id think any of these would be good for sale figures...?

Welcome..!

Great story on it Troy. Like me...my dads old ones are so important to me they will be in the family for many years to come rather i can get them restored or repaired or not. I also have a few Id love to find again from my childhood days I once had...maybe someday..?

I agree with Steve. Most my builds are factory stock but not all are. Still I try to be or look realistic as possible unless I get a wild idea for a build..LOL..

Yep Dan that is it...very cool and very rare truck...the top has too many other possibilities too. Mike...another idea could be a raised camper roof for van kits like the old AMT Chevy Open Road Mini Motorhome kit had...I have one from my dads old collection missing the top parts and interior camper goodies.

Mike...if one can find a 73 Chevy sales brochure one their trucks it shows the Blazer camper one...(I have one somewhere ?) Any 60s/70s camping trailer would be very cool to have available in my opinion there a neglected item to build in plastic kits. Another is a scale 60s/70s phone booth for dioramas. Me..id welcome campers to add to our builds and collections.

Welcome George...!

Congrats AL...!
