  1. Great job on the Buick, Ken. Kudos!
  2. Real nice job on the new Moebius kit, Chuck. Look forward to your build of the long bed when it comes out.
  3. Sorry, my bad. I was told at the Toronto Auto show that they only came as the four door model with the tiny bed. While we're on the topic, I don't understand why they all have to be jacked up like 4X4's even when they are just 2WD. My Courier and B2000 were a great height. Easy to get into and to load stuff into the bed around the same height as my current CRV. I had a heck of a time trying to get into the Ranger at the Auto Show. I get a lot of people want that type of thing but back in the day you had a choice between normal height and nosebleed height (an exaggeration....). I guess despite having owned mini trucks I'm just not a truck guy, at least not by the modern definition of everything having to be bigger and higher.
  4. Dan, my point was the new Ranger you can only get in full 4 door cab with a tiny bed. It's like those others you mentioned. It's more SUV than truck. If it was like my old B2000 extra cab with just a couple of jump seats and a larger bed it would be much more useful as a truck.
  5. Had a 1981 Ford Courier and a 1986 Mazda B2000. They were great trucks and all I ever needed. The current small trucks are too big and and the new Ford with a 4 door body and a tiny bed is just ridiculous. Not to mention they want as much for them as a big truck. I think they have missed the market but maybe the market is for an SUV with a tiny bed on the back.
  6. Wow! Beautiful work, Claude!

    Drag-u-la

    Very nice job on the Drag-U-La!
  8. Very nice job on the Dodge Van!
  9. I've sen the little film you mentioned. Thought it was a neat concept and great to see you bring it to life in model form. You did a great job in building the model and trailer.
  10. This is a most beautiful build, Claude. Congrats on a job well done.
  11. So you’re leaving Peggy Lipton off the list in favour of a cat? Sorry that makes no sense to me. To those of a certain age Peggy means much more to us than a stupid meme cat. She did great work in Twin Peaks as well.
  12. Beautiful build! Did the client choose the colour?
  13. Had a great day at the show. Picked up a few things including a book in the silent auction.
  14. They did pull out of NNL East because of the resin situation. I was disappointed as it was an opportunity to pick up paints without the shipping issue to get them up here. But I do respect their reasoning as they work to sort out the resin part of the business.
  15. Yes, every chance I get I write 1930/31 Pick-up in his suggestion book that could go on the Model A chassis.
  16. Picked one up at a Hobby Lobby in Scranton on our way to NNL East.
  17. Yes! I will be making the trek from central Ontario, Canada (leaving at 5am) and picking up a couple of friends in Toronto, one near Kingston and the 4 of us will be there Friday night. So looking forward to this as always.
  18. Fantastic build, John! Absolutely incredible fabrication skills.
  19. Very cool updated Grand Prix. Kudos!
  20. My uncle had a Tiger when I was a kid so I'm always thrilled to see one built up. Did a great job on yours. Kudos!
  21. Looking forward to your complete album. The shots you have shared so far are great!
  22. He is still going. He is very involved in the museum and the running of the Great Salt Lake Model Car Championship. That said, like many others he is getting older and the last GSL will be in 2022.
  23. Beautiful clean build, Ziya. Very nice work and superb job on the suitcase.

    Very cool! She looks like she's ready for a pass down the drag strip.
