disabled modeler

As a kid I bought many from... a neighborhood drug store garage sales flea markets my dad took me too As a adult...Garage sales...Antique malls..other modelers...even got one at a auto scrap yard once in a cars trunk.

Yep I have to train myself to do just that...I bought 3 of them that day out of town and 2 were wrong...bummer I like wagons.

How many of you all bought the AMT 65 Chevelle wagon kits that had the blue car on the box cover and opened it to find a 63 Impala HT inside...??? I think it was the 90s reissue...? I opened a sealed kit of the Revell Unimog snowplow truck to find no wheels or tires in the kit...too bad I did not open it till it was out of production.

Very cool...! My brother owned a Montego GT years ago...Id love to make a replica of it someday.

Welcome Chris..! Emergency vehicles are cool.

Great news Vince buddy...!

Welcome Randy..! The 60s to mid 70s were a great time for models...love them.

Yep Dave and it really ran too for a big heavy car...cool old cars but one of my favorites we had by Dodge was the Aspen R/T we had..Id love to build a replica of it.

Cool...! Too bad its not like the one we had....round headlamp car black/tan interior with a 360ci

Sweet score Bill...!

Dave...just take your time doing it and it will come out for you. When I scribe lines I go very lightly and take a long time to do it....patience and determination is the key.

Dave....Try it with somewhat numb fingers....LOL..! I have nerve damage it can make building interesting.

Welcome Ian...! The 60s were my favorite kit era they made some really nice stuff back then. I am into the 60s to mid 70s body style stuff. Best advise anyone ever gave me on building is... Treat every part as if it were a model itself and building is no race build at your own speed.

I have used layers of pinstripe tape to help me get the lines more straight before...it helps Dave.

Dave... Oh it was...LOL...

Is there a local vets home around your area...? You could contact them if you have one like we do here.

Dave...That is cool. I thought they made a promo of one once...??? Id like to make a Aspen R/T...it was one of the cars we owned once...ours was a 360ci..? with a 4 speed...nice...!

Dave...I have to try and make one too but you know why already....sorry about your search for a Dodge Aspen...I have wanted to make a replica of a Aspen R/T for some time now.

I am going to have to get a hold of one of those chrome makers to try out....might be just the thing for aged worn bumpers,etc.

Nice..! The weathering on your shop equipment is very nice and realistic.

Mike...I agree completely. I help some guys too....nice comic strip too...LOL..

Dave... that is a bummer. I like the Bajha Beast kit...its a fun build.

That is a nice thought Mike. I did not see the Lotus submarine car kit....like to have one of those as well. I have a old movie give away that they gave out back in the 70s at our local theater of 2 scale 007 James Bond figures in a package of Roger Moore that are about 1/25th.

Funny thing is...both my project and my real one need beds...LOL... not much left of my real trucks bed and the truck only has 57,000. miles on it.

My truck is a 84 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 long bed....I need one of those beds...LOL.. Then I can make a replica of it too...mine is medium metallic blue.
