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.
I don't do Facebook. Sorry, I couldn't resist. That said I wish you luck with this. Any place designed for model building discussion is a good thing. I hope the Think Tank aspect works out as it could be quite useful for many.
I don't remember. I was a little young at the time. And I can't ask anymore because Dad's been gone a long time now. As I recall he said it was a late 50's Chryco product. The vehicles I do remember was his next car a 61 Pontiac Parisienne and a 49 GMC Pickup that they used at our hardware store. That was forever know as Daddy's Guck. (What can I say? I was 2 years old. I couldn't say truck at the time.....)
Tom, that is a little rough on execution but I really like the concept. Whoever built it was really going for the airport limousine look. Thanks for sharing that one with us.
I can't imagine having to dig a cell phone out of my pocket every time I need to know the time when I can just take a quick look at my trusty old Timex on my wrist.
Thanks to your picture on Sunday, when I put the garbage out Tuesday morning I looked up and saw a scene very much like your Wednesday picture. If hadn't been for your original picture I would not have known what I was looking at. Thank You for posting these pictures and educating me. Unfortunately since then we've had cloudy rainy conditions so I've not been able to keep track. Hopefully on the other dates you've listed I'll be able to see them again.
