Old Buckaroo

This is the setup Ive used for over 20 years, Ive replaced the aluminum mitre box once. I think mine came from Micro Mark as Ive never used Amazon. The small saw like you showed in next thread I ordered from Hannants. Both are valuable tools for the modeling bench.

This was my first mail order kit that I ordered from Auto world back in 1977 for the price of $2.19 and $1.00 shipping. I know I drove my mom crazy asking if it had showed up everyday ! I had acquired another about 10 years back but my son claimed it as he's a Mopar guy. He took it with him to Bahrain, now its in South America. This one is complete except decals. And I made sure to ask my wife if it came in the mail everyday since I placed the order on ebay 😄

Pyro models prototype ?

The much loved MPC / AMT '69 Dodge Daytona prototype for more future Nascar builds of same kit is taking shape.

Pending trade -

Thanks for pointing that out - post has been edited.

Mark, those parts bring back memories. Cant wait to see what you do with them.

As the title says, looking for a complete "Malco Gasser" Mustang can be old or reissue. I have a Sealed Salvinos JR Petty Roadrunner kit to offer in trade. (both issues on hand)

Wow - that's Super pleasing to the eyes, Very nice paint color!!

X2 but I would build it - love that long hood 😎

Found this yesterday while in the big city.

Gary - If you live where you get any snow, be sure to pull the snow off the roof with a floor broom or similar. Those sheds Do Not hold up well to any weight on the roofs.

Bad day at the keyboard

Chi'na is notorious for faking silver coins / troy ounces. Ive been a collector of silver since the late 80's as the companies I worked for you give it to you for a safety bonus for no lost time accidents. When I was working in NE Washington state there was a coin shop in Spokane and they had a five gallon bucket that was about 3/4 full of "fake troy ounces" they left that out as to detour the thieves that might break in thinking they would steal that instead of trying to get into the vaults. The coins/ bars would have a silver coating and junk metals on the inside. I have a friend here in Montana that has been buying the "Buffalo rounds" for about $10.00 less than spot. They are about 2mm bigger around and 1mm thicker. He says I'm a fool for buying at a reputable family owned coin shop as I'm paying more than he is, as his coins are bigger - even though they are identical to mine but the size difference. 🙄 Remember - real silver coins, troy ounces has a distinctive ring when dropped on a solid surface (like three inches above a table)

Tim that's awesome you went and had a Perfect breakfast. My wife and I went for a drive (320 miles RT) today and go check on our friends property and house while he is out of state working. The scenery was fabulous, nothing like clean snow every direction you looked. The interstate 90 was closed up ahead due to 70-90 mph winds. Gotta love Montana !

Kurt , you're doing a great job to convince people to move to AZ when already having swap meets and we look like this ! 😄

That truck is looking so awesome, you're really doing some top notch work. I also like that your not afraid to paint something a different color than what the perception should be. Ive painted a lot of 1/1 engines non factory colors and have caused a lot of melt downs over that !

Heat wave here this morning 23 degrees above, feels like a long sleeve t shirt day after a few weeks of being in the negative 30-40 temps. 😄

That's a really nice BD present , be sure to follow up on how you like it.

No doubt. I'm envy of Michael's knowledge and energy.

Dang, there goes my idea of riding out to a launch site in that new car with the top down with a Saturn V in the back 😄

There use to be an old Hudson Terraplane sitting in the weeds of a back yard located Cripple Creek Colo. It was green and had the remnants of a Hardware / Mining store logo painted on the door. This was the coolest truck Id ever seen as it had the body signature of a 1980's street rod.

Its always a good day when there is a new update !

The Ford is the blue car 1/4 mile ahead ! 😄
