Maybe hire some retired umpa loompa's to hold the models up?

I bought a lot of 14 Johan ramblers off Ebay. The seller was less than 100 miles away from me and they tossed everything into a box with no packing what so ever. Five of the bodies were damaged, and the one piece of tape on the bottom almost came undone. Needless to say I left accurate feedback. I still got enough of a deal that I couldn't complain.

Concrete would work, it's cheap and not plexi glass.

I couldn't agree more. It's time to put back on the big boy pants fellas. This is a hobby that's main purpose is to be enjoyable.

I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the added risk of melting, cracking etc. Not to mention the chance a animal getting into the garage and eating the boxes.

Nice looking interior. The paint scheme for the body is a very unique, but good choice. I will have to look for one of these 1/8 scale kits.

I have owned every version of the panther platform except the Lincoln. I had a 1993 unmarked dark green police Crown Vic, 2000 white police Crown Vic, 1998 black Grand Marquis with the handling and performance package, 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2005 beige.unmarked police package Crown Vic. I only regret selling the Marauder and the Grand Marquis. They were the best handling and performing cars.I have ever driven.

I used to own a 2003 Mercury Marauder (a Grand.Marquis with the 4 cam 4.6 v8) in the rare color of silver birch. There were only 417 built in 2003, and just over 1100 for the two year production run of the Marauder. I still miss that car, it was the best car I could ever own. I have a sinking feeling that it will become my own version of a muscle car that will gain value over time.

Nice haul.

I am going to go, I just don't know if I will enter the contest. I know that there are going to be dealers there selling kits. That is my main reason for going.

Not my first trade, but here is my list. Or at least who I can remember from the old trader thread. Please remind me if I missed someone. Rt6pk George53

That's a great deal for those books. The bottom row is a good group of books.

I built the Johan 68 Plymouth police car twice as a kid. Both were glue bombs, but that helped one of them to make it to today, I am restoring it from a flat black and white police car to a light green slant six base model. I have three built ups, and two unbuilts that are waiting their turn in my stash. I have great memories of playing with green army guys and those police cars.

There is no reason not to warn others of fraudulent sellers on Ebay. There is no slander law that covers protecting scumbags. Please name who it is.

This is my kit stash. There are a few others that I keep in a cabinet because they are older. The shelf is two kits deep, about 225 kits or so. It's not the largest stash, but it's good enough for me.

I went to Meijers today and saw that they are carrying Revell models again. This time they are on the shelves, not on a cardboard display. The prices were 12.99 to 14.99 for them. It looks like they are at the least giving models a chance at being a regular stocked item.

The car was undercoated. Granted I didn't look at any underside pictures, but that would be my guess to the lack of over spray.

It has an automatic trans, I'll pass. On a side note, you could by ten to fifteen other Cudas and actually drive them.

I bought both out the Vantom vans from the local HL. I haven't been back since to see if they got any more in.

Is hobby lobby going to get this kit? I didn't see it listed on the shelves when they reset their stock this month. The 57 Ford, 50 Oldsmobile, AMC Gremlin, Avanti, etc came out. It would be great if hobby lobby did stock this kit.

I am glad I'm not the only one that does this. My cheapness knows no bounds, I did that three times in a row once. I have also given a twenty to my six year old daughter to take advantage of the coupon herself.

That is awesome, very good work.

It's coming along nicely, putting a straight six in there was the right thing to do. I am looking forward to setting how this turns out. My opinion e would be to use the left over falcon to recreate the gasser, that would look sweet and put the leftovers to good use.

The last time I built a kit and replace the axle, I noticed exactly what you mentioned. This time I beefed the evergreen with some copper wire sandwiched by evergreen. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it.

This is the new front axle. I made it from the evergreen rod. This build is more of a learning experience for future builds of this kit. It's by no means accurate to the paint colors that AMC used, but it's more of what I would do with one of these in 1 to 1.
