Cool! At least that's one source if a person is doing hot rods. Thanks Carl. You're right Chuck. R&D was one of them and I'm sure one was All American. I can't remember the third one. When I meant I had been seeing some neat rods I had meant 1:1 in magazines but I forgot some would be showing up as models because of the minicraft kits. Thanks for the answers guys.

I know at one time 3 resin casters were doing 30 - 31 pick-ups. Is anyone left doing one that you know of? I've been seeing some neat rods of them lately. Thanks.

Sharp viper there Tim. Good work.

All really cool builds Chuck! As much as I like the ratty's the Lincoln really gets me cranked up.

Wow! I was convinced it was 1/24th. Great Job!

Sweet little Porsche, Mark. Is this a Fujimi kit? Nice build as always. Looks like it would be fun to bomb around in, if it were 1:1.

All history aside, Dart seems an appropriate name for a fast, small, agile car. Seems like an appropriate moniker to me. And remember probably 3/4's of the buying public don't remember the orignal Dodge Dart so trying to go retro on this small car would probably bust.

Wow! That's quite a bright colour scheme compared to most of the white, blue, red schemes we're used on those cars. Love it! Job well done sir.

Another slick Cliff Read build! That's a sweet 34. Job well done sir.

Ooooh! I like the colour of purple on the 32. Donn, is that a standard Testors colour or is it a custom mix?

I was playing with mine this evening. I dry fit the pontoons but I'm not sure how to blend them in especially at the front and whether the fender character 'hump' should be extended into the pontoon. Yours is looking good so far.

I'd be happy if they reissued the 58/59 tool again especially as the 59. I was up & down the rows at Motor City NNL and couldn't find one of them. But the 62 should be cool as well.

Wow! That is a gorgeous Scooby! Extremely well done sir!

Beautiful build of a beautiful car! Job well done!

You're a brave man George! Taking your life in your hands for your hobby.

Some nice pics there Mr Eh?! Thanks for sharing the weekend and the pics! Looking forward to the next road trip.

Very nice! Love DTM cars! And taking pictures in the rain seems appropriate. They do run in the rain unlike Nascar. Great work!

Wow! That really does look period correct. Very, very nice model.

There is another model building forum where one of the mottos is "The goal is completion and NOT perfection." I am trying to adopt that as my mantra otherwise I get frustrated with little things and get nothing built. Working on the 48 Ford coupe and I keep repeating this to myself as I go so that I may get a model completed sometime in the next year.

Monogram 1/24 1930 Coupe. Pretty common. 1/25 - none that I know of.

It was great meeting you Bob. Happy to visit with Pat. And was good seeing the fellows from the DRAG Group including JeffB and Kris and also picked stuff up from Scale Modeling by Chris. Also had a chance to see Tom Carter and Grand daughter. Great Show! Great weekend! Here are some pics from the show. http://public.fotki....tor-city-nnl-7/

It'sa Bugatti! Whadiwin? oh wait... Seriously as Skip said there are so many great models of these out there it's really hard to tell. The harder I stare at it the more I think real but I can't really say why....

Looked at the cover of this issue at a vendors booth at Motor City NNL 7 but put it back. Mine should arrive in 2 to 3 weeks so I'll enjoy it then. Cover looked really cool though....

Wow! Less than a week away! Still hoping the weather holds to make this trip. Looking forward to see board members there.

Big Band. Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, Gene Krupa, Glen Miller etc and the new crop like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra, Squirrel Nut Zippers etc.
