Welcome Rob This is a great place to be. Lots of stuff going on and friendly people.

Is it a GTX or Road Runner? 1974? Thanks for helping

Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho

I have an issue with the photo entry. What if people photo shop or touch-up the entry pictures?

Looks like some cool stuff. http://www.coloradomodel.com/default.htm

I find R&R resins to have the most problems in fitting the windows. Way to resin around the area causing a lot of trimming. Here's some R&R resin

That's ... a ... GREAT ONE !!!

Ya Cranky, you need to get in on the stories. We would like to here you tell some stories. They are fun, and the joy that people get from reading them.

Yes it is. Lots of snappers can paint up well.

Looks GREAT Cranky

Ok guys. In the first tip you seen where we built 55 gal barrels. This is the progress of my grill or heating stove. Not sure which one I'll make it. Still have to put a door on the lower barrel for the wood to go in. If you decide the grill option is better, then open up the side of the top barrel for grilling those burgers and brats. The angle is Evergreen brand and the stove pipe is ink pen tube.

Well, here's a mock-up of progress. I was happy with the testors decal maker til, I put the decals on and found that the white didn't appear. I've had to follow up with paint and it needs a second coat.

Can we add TV shows too? That would give more options to build.

Needs to be in the "Real or Model" section. I'd vote real WOW !!! Awesome!!!

After opening my kit, the next thing I said was, "at least I got two figures for my garage. I see now why they don't make kits like this anymore. It will be a re-think process on building for sure.

I'm not liking the rule about 10 or less kits in 3 years being a novice builder. Some of the best builders could be in the novice class.

Here are my favorites http://www.flickr.com/photos/escort500xl/sets/ http://www.fredsresinworkshop.com/ http://public.fotki.com/KenK/kitchen_table_resin_kits/ http://www.modelcargarage.com/order.asp http://www.modelroundup.com/ http://www.modelhaus.com/ http://www.discounttrainsonline.com/G-Scale-Figures-Preiser/G_FIG_590_1.html http://www.seltd.net/products.html http://resinrealm.net/Star/STARModels.html http://www.timemachineresin.bravehost.com/ http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/ http://www.fantastic-plastics.com/

Just wanted to THANK everyone involved with the magazine, that's it's GREAT !!!! I'm not even finished reading, and WOW !! Great info on home items to use with kits. THANKS A TON to all involved !!!

I'm sure I'll be very happy when I do get mine. Just don't have it yet.

Just went to Modelhaus, where more new kits have been created for sale starting Oct. 20, '10. http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?kit=1&new=1

Here's the modelhaus '61 Cadillac Fleetwood I think Modelhaus has the best resin

This is something what I had in mind from the beginning http://www.autofiends.com/2008/12/the-27-liter-merlin-v12-beast/

Appears to be something VERY EXCITING. I'll be watching.

Ok guys. Here's the start to my '66 Ford Fairlane Super Stock (late '60's style) Cut the fender openings and did some glueing and test fits. Found tires and rims from a couple different dirt stocker kits.

Not a big fan of a '56 but that one has to be the BEST ONE I ever saw.
