Great meeting today at Rickie's rod Shop with 30+ people, stuff for sale, projects that some members are workin' on as well as a few finished builds, and good food as well as great chili on this rainin' fall day.
The S.L.A.M. club will be meeting this Saturday (Nov. 16th) at Rickie's Rods in Delavan, Wisconsin at 10 a.m. This is a "build 'n bull" session and is always a good time.
It seems like everyone who has seen a car magazine on the shelf of their grocery or drug store is a "car expert" and many can't tell the difference between a Charger and Coronet either. Yes there are a LOT of "winnners" at car shows and cruise nights.
Cool builds, all of them. What did you use for paint as I have a couple 1/28th scale kits I'd like to start and haven't built a plane model since the 50's. TIA
We may have a couple of Canadian builders next year at the Milwaukee NNL just like this year and also in 2010. That's a 13 hour trip one way. How 'bout you? Hope to see you there.
Actually, the Milwaukee NNL is in Waukesha which is just west of Milwaukee. If you like model cars, it will be well worth your effort to see this show this coming April. The "other mag" always covers this show and also has it in their Contest Annual issue as well. One of the members of the AMG (host) club also shoots photos and submits them to Model Cars Magazine for coverage as well.
Trust me, it IS. Last year I cancelled a trip to Buffalo because it was the same weekend as the Milwaukee NNL. This is in your backyard compared to the locations of other NNL's.
I don't see any '72 Road Runners at car shows or cruise nights. Not even at Mopar shows, and that's because nobody wants them. Even '68-'70 Road Runners are scarce and not only do they look the best, they were in the "highlight of the muscle car era.
