Wind up toy cars can still be fun in world full of advanced electronics and technology and the beauty is there are no batteries that need replacing.

Odd Place to Find Models
bobthehobbyguy replied to Calb56's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Seems to be a typical problem. Once the word is out it the bargains aren't there any more. -
Morgan Automotive Detail?
bobthehobbyguy replied to Sidney Schwartz's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Exactly. And I find it interesting that everyone.complains about the ebay fees but expect the vendors to use them. Best to plan ahead to order before you need it quickly. -
Got m8ne yesterday. Another great issue. Each issue is better than the last. Great content mix.

My primer smells like Bondo.....
bobthehobbyguy replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Even if it's not a project with a lot of work an out of the box project can come to a screeching halt with a bad combination of paints. Definitely a way to get frustrated and have to strip a project. -
I think the plan all along was to have the show continue on. But there was no one to take it over and thus the decision to end it. If there had been some one to take the reins then it would have continued. Running the show was a major took quite a bit of the time with a limited volunteer group. Unfortunately at this point I really don't see the show being resurrected.

Yup every journey begins with the first step. And the journey is just a chain of steps. Keep up the good work.

Model Car Muse with Doug Whyte
bobthehobbyguy replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Great news. Always enjoy Doug's video. It was a treat to see such a detailed view of Randy's amazing corvette. In the past we were lucky to see a few photographs or maybe view it in person. -

Exactly. And just because mixing and matching might work once or twice that's no guarantee that is going to work every time. -
Great news. Looks like a lot of fun. Glad you were around to do it. As a heart attack survivor each 1 year anniversary is something to be grateful for. And

Basically the same reason this was the last contest. There was no one to take the reins. -
Sucks is what a vacuum cleaner does when you clean with it.

Hope he is doing well. Sounds like he went through a very tough time. Very sad. His parts were amazing. A big loss for the modeling community. -

Here is a link to Randy Derrs 2023 GSL Winning corvette. -
For those who attended gsl. It's was mentioned Randy Derr took best in show 2023. Does that make him a 4 or 5 best in show winner. He won one with his 1/12th Cameron, a 1/25th scale Camaro, and his 1/12 th scale dirt car. And then this year's corvette. Are there any others. Who else has won multiple gsl best in shows.

Trading Post–HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK!
bobthehobbyguy replied to Harry P.'s topic in Trading Post
A number of years back there Gregg had created a separate page for buying and selling auction type page separate from this forum and the magazine. Unfortunately no one wanted to use it because there was not a lot on it. There was a call to post stuff but it didn't happen. Then the forum and magazine websites were hacked. Everything was down for a number of days. The buying and selling page was rebuilt but nobody wanted to use it and it went away.
