  1. Looks like a Model A Roadster. The bird was probably the Quail rad cap that was/is a popular accessory for Model A's.
  2. My uncle had one when I was a kid! Great little car. You did a beautiful clean build of this little Tiger.
  3. Doesn't the C1 trans kits rely on the Italeri kits for the chassis bits etc?
  4. Have guys in our club that use Cricut but they use it to create masks not to use the vinyl itself for the graphics.
  5. Back when Neons were current models, we had a small fleet of Neons and Chev Corsicas for use by nurses and social workers but we occasionally had to use one. All the other drivers in our department gravitated to the Corsicas but I always went for the Neons as they were fun little cars to drive and not heavy boats like the Corsicas.
  6. Unfortunately for us most ships with kits for domestic(U.S.) kit manufacturers unload in U.S. ports and then are shipped by land to our distributors thus they are hit with tariffs. It may vary if the shipment is from a manufacturer (Tamiya, Heller, Airfix, Aoshima etc) from another part of the world. Some may come through U.S.A. or may come into our own ports.
  7. It reminds me of the car used in Republic of Doyle but that was a 68 GTO.
  8. Basically but it has the lower grill to signify that it's a water cooled van versus the air cooled Island hopper/every other version of the T3 van.
  9. ICM makes a 1936 Packard in 1:35 scale. Kept hoping they would scale it up to 1:24 but unfortunately it never happened.
  10. My first car was a 1974 Dodge Colt Wagon. I don't think I have a picture of it so I'll use this borrowed one. If I find a real picture of mine I'll drop it here. Mine was gold coloured with the wood grain.
  11. Gee, I woulda thought that if anyone could do something with that kit and come up with a cool story to go with it, it would have been Chuck Most who builds miniatures from the madhouse….😉😁
  12. Very cool! Is that a resin 32 wagon body in the background as well?
  13. Welcome to the forum from a fellow Canadian.
  14. That is one sharp looking Ford!
  15. Not to wander too far off topic but Rivian and Tesla are two different companies. Tesla builds the Cybertruck and Rivian builds their own truck and SUV.
  16. Thanks for the great news, Eric. Glad to see these beautiful kits will continue to be available for model builders.
  17. No, I know you guys have been getting hammered as well.
  18. Snow! I'm running out of places to put it!
  19. No. The last issue was August. There hasn’t been an issue published since.
  20. Great pics! Thanks for sharing them with us. Looks like a great show.
  21. It would be interesting to know how well the Moebius International kits sold. That could explain why we don't see more modern big rigs done. But on the other hand Italeri seems to do well bringing out modern European rigs.
  22. People join YouTube for a lot of reasons. But one thing that seems to get missed here is that YouTube is considered a community just like some find on Facebook, Discord or here on MCM Board. It's a way of showing our love of the hobby with others. Whether it's with our builds or information we have or with history of the hobby we can share. Not everyone is going to be A4 Garage or Doug Whyte at the Model Car Muse. They're just trying to share their love of model car building the best they can. Just like your town or the Lion's club or the Legion or whatever, you get people that just get a word in edgewise once in a while and somewhat seem to hog the limelight. They all contribute. Take what you like and ignore and stop complaining about the rest.
  23. Paul has not visited here since 2022 so you may not get an answer from him.
  24. I don’t remember the last time I purchased anything on eBay. Their shipping policy usually means Canadians get hosed on shipping. Since you are close to the border, you could get a U.S. postal box and that might help. I bought a 59 TBird (my birth year) about 5 or 6 years ago and swore I would never do it again. (O.K. I guess I do remember the last time….)
  25. I didn't recognize this commercial at first but the minute I heard the "dah, dah ,dah", it was "Oh yeah cool! I remember this!"
