I've been wanting their 57 Mercury pickup. I had hoped to get it at NNL Nationals 2015 but they hadn't brought one with them. Like an idiot I didn't fill out an order form at the show. I've been meaning to put an order in for it hoping to have it at NNL East. Now even if they have one in stock they won't be at NNL East. I'm hoping I get another chance but for now I am slapping myself across the head for being an idiot and not filling out the form in Sylvania in October.
I originally thought it was the race for antique cars sponsored by Hemmings Motor News & Coker Tire. Not that the discussion about Lemans isn't interesting just not what I was thinking when I saw the heading The Great Race.
Beautiful build of this new Revell/Revell Germany kit. Enjoyed watching the build videos on Youtube as well. Just picked up the U.S. boxing of this kit yesterday. Your videos will certainly help with my build. Thank You.
I must admit I was rather surprised when there wasn't a big fireball explosion when that truck went over the cliff. It seems every t.v. show and movie had giant explosions even for small accidents you would then think a crash with a tanker with flammable on the sides would have resulted in a spectacular kaboom.
Love the finished projects as well as the in progress ones. I really appreciate that you have a fondness for cars from the classic era. And with the Gilmore nearby, for you it would be easy to do research, I should imagine.
We sort of do that. We both have our own hobbies. When we go to related events and buy stuff especially during the latter half of the year we bring it home and hand it over to the other person to be wrapped and put under the tree. Since my birthday is within a month of Christmas I never know what I will receive for which occasion. And being somewhat forgetful I always get a surprise or two. "Oh! I forgot about that one." Kinda silly I suppose but it works for us.
I could certainly see the value especially if your model gets picked for photography at a show. It would be handy to add detail to your entry form especially paint used and mods and aftermarket info.
