As you say the K&S and Evergreen are worth the price of admission alone. The Mini Countryman is pretty cool too. Congratulations on your haul!

Welcome. Look forward to seeing the Le Mans and Touring cars.

Very SHINY indeed! Sweet build, Jim. Love the colour.

Beautiful build of that Lincoln kit. Whether original Lincoln colour or not that shade certainly looks period appropriate.. Very, very nice.

That's Harry Connick Jr.! Oh. wait. This is Auto ID not Harry ID. Umm... I have no idea.

It'll be great to see the old dealership on display again.

Sweet, clean build! Love the colour choices.

Very cool! I had thought of doing an eighties version using a Ford EXP and a Dodge Omni. Even bought the kits but never followed through with it.

Wow! Excellent work especially on the wolfman! Excellent detail work and it's very realistic. Congrats!

That's a good question for which I have no answer. The only thing I can say is a lot of people make their own with tubing and cut off the universals to add to end of tubing.

Looks pretty good for only your second build. I like the white chrome, it accents well with the green.

Wow! Very nice build! That rear wing is massive and must have been a challenge. Beautifully built model.

Very cool build! It does look very Deal-ish.

Years ago there was what was called The Hobby Show in Toronto where people could come and buy hobby related material and see hobby clubs displaying their hobbies such as model building, marquetry, rc stuff, model railroads, mecanno etc. Group 25 had a display there for years. One year a vendor had that The Homer for sale. I thought it would be a good idea to buy it and build it at the show so that the crowds could see an entry level kit being built out of box. It was going just fine until I got to that rear bubble. The bubble is 2 pieces plus that green piece that goes around it. You have to try to hold it all together and snap it into place. I couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it. I fought with it and fought with it and fought with it. It was: ! Of course my fellow club members were killing themselves laughing and reminding me it was a skill level 1 kit. And the public got more of a show than I ever intended! I still get reminded of that episode and this is 10 years later.

I would like to have a nice little row boat on a stream right now, on a hot day like this....but I'm guessing that's not the kind of stream you're talking about.

Hi Edward! Welcome to the forum. Lots of good model building info to be had here. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Looks like you're doing some good building with the performance cars.

Luckily for me a Model A is much easier to start (it has a starter) but you still have to know what you're doing.

And yet the plane and tank guys hate rubber and vinyl tires as they don't have the proper "weight on the tire" bulges and it's harder to make a flat tire. They would rather mask a wheel and tire unit for painting than have seperate tires made of rubber or vinyl. I like our system better where you paint the wheel (if not chrome) and install a proper tire after.

The rebirth of the hobby by the introduction of Scale Auto Enthusiast Magazine back in 1979(?) bringing many lapsed car modellers back into the hobby. Other great magazines have followed including Plastic Fanatic which eventually became Model Cars under Gregg's leadership.

I picked up the Fireball Roberts 57 Ford yesterday as well as Fine Scale Modeller, Tamiya Model Magazine and AK Interactive magazine on Mud.

Very nice clean mild custom. Beautiful!

Indeed! From the beautiful sleek lines of the C6 to a thing that was obviously designed by committee with each member of said committee adding a line or scoop or what have you to the poor thing. and a number 11 to my list: Every Cadillac in the past 10 years or so. As ugly as the box they came in.

Cool concept! Happened to a lot of large cars back in the day. Well done.

Depends where you live. Here in Canada you get dinged everytime you use debit or ATM's. We still use cash or credit (which gets paid each month). My wife works for an accountant and can't get over the statements she sees where people are paying over $200 a month for using debit card and the fees involved even when they special bank plans.
