Old Buckaroo

Nice work and addition to your collection!

Very Impressive all the way around , especially since the tub was mia ! This is the type of modeling I really like , missing a part - make it or fake it !

Mark - Fantastic detail you have going on !

Looking through some old pics and stumbled upon this one taken while driving in Eastern Montana

Now that is really cool - I like that the top is separate, I see a top down version coming to my shelf soon!

Bad parenting - Single mother dropping off child barely 1 yr old this morning at "Step Grand dads" place. Negative nine this morning without the wind, child was in pj's, no coat , hat or blanket. Meanwhile my mustache is a frozen lump while cleaning the snow off the wife's vehicle.

Wow - Outstanding. If that truck had some ice blockage build up and grime - Id swear it was real!

I was hoping that would be the "Motown Missile" when I saw those gold wheels in the slicks - The black paint looks smooth as glass on both. Is that a MPC Cuda body ? Ive been trying to locate a hood like that for one I have for same livery.

This work can only be described as "Awesome"!

My wife reminded me that its been a while since I bought a "show rod" kit so I obliged. She had bought me this book several years back and after she read through it, she was hooked on them.

Fun build you have going there ! I cant remember my cell phone number but can sing the theme song to "Beverly Hillbillies" with no problem 🤪

Check your local mechanic/ body shop, as far as I know uniform services have not gone to plastic hangers.

Love the super mod - it just has such eye appeal, nicely done ! Also I'm a fan of the old Aurora Monsters and many reissues of same characters. I like what you did with the base and the addition of a rope belt. Oh yes , welcome back to the forum !

You did a fantastic job - looks to be right out of the Chino Airshow.

While on the topic of Grumpy and Hooker Headers, that reminded me of this old add -

There needs to be like a "Holy Shat" emoji for stuff like that. Any history on the fed ex accident? Here in Montana you always know who the truck is that spun out, twisted up, jack knifed or anything else stupid on snowy hills or mountains = Fed Ex every time ! And people think Swift drivers are bad...

The Vega turned out great, nice work on the front spoiler also. The Impala has held up well 👍

Dave I had model kits go to a USPS Puerto Rico mail sorting facility before. Least your went out west to to experience the dry snow. 🙄 I almost with they would stamp the locations packages travel like the old steamer trunks use to have.

I am very impressed with the structures - I think I seen that mountainside coal in a Railroad Model Craftsman magazine, that I bet I still have in storage. It would be nice to see you get them finished even if its just a shelf layout. Model RR'n was my main hobby for decades. There is a MRR swap meet in Spokane WA in March that my wife and I plan on attending if the weather cooperates.

Mike I love the coaling tower and roundhouse ! Looks like you had a really nice layout - was it a standard 4x8 size of the times or did you do different. Those cars are so awesome - I wasnt smart enough to keep the few decal types I stumbled upon - they went on my notebook cover.

Brian that is just stunning, reminds me of an add right out of "Owner Operator" magazine. I can only echo what everyone else has said about the graphics and engine.

That looks like a lot of fun. Do you have any other tanks of this styling? About 20 years ago there were "egg planes" that were quite popular for weekend builds.

The previous area I lived here in Montana only delivered mail twice a week. Monday and Friday, didn't matter which day - the bills would still show up.

Ive been on a mission lately buying older Monogram kits as well as the others that were made in USA. This new chi'na plastic reminds me of trying to model a five gallon bucket crossed with a rubbermaid trashcan. I wonder how this new plastic will hold up in 50 years like the real plastic models have.

Brad that's a great tip, Ive used that tape for headliners before. It behaved well with enamel airbrush paint over it and has been still stuck after a decade.
