I've just found this (see other thread). This looks fantastic

Your a man of good taste Roger lol. Though this 1 had a lasting effect . . . . .

Does anybody make good 70's 4 door sedans ? Something like a 72 Satalite ect.

I've just bought a '95 Crown Victoria (now wheres that Lindburg kit ??) to paint up as a weathered black n white. I had a similar 85 Caprice last year & it was such a laugh to drive. Looks ranged from to to as it burbled by ! Got a 91 Fox thats now gotta go. And also this

I've shot a few emails to Rick over the last couple of months & not had any replies. Anybody know if he's ok & still selling ? His sites still there.

Does anybody make dash gauges in 1;18 or 1;16 scale ? Or know another source ? I've got a few 1;18 Diecast Tri Chevys, Ertl & Highway 61 that I want to add details to. Rather than strip & repaint (those H61's look a nightmare to dis-assemble) planning on adding different wheels (see my wanted ad) & Junior stock decals ect.

Not been on here for a bit, but heres a few quick pics of the resin kit. (I'll try & retake the pics) It has the RS hood, rear bumper, RS 4 spoke wheels & R/H dash ect. Also in the pic is the Revell kit as a doner. I found seats that are very similar to the Recaro's that the road cars came with. Unfortunatly, I doupt if I'll have the time / patience / skill to make this model, as it does need some work. So I'll be moving it on / trading it.

Ya busted me Greg ! It was the other pepper shaker kit that got me started. Plan a 1;1 version one day . . . . .but in the meantime I'm working on a sedan version with the Revell 57 & Impala kits.

Sorry guys, what I meant was the most tooled single year ie 57 Chevy, 32 Ford, 67 Mustang ect. Only asked because I have so many 57 issues but as has been said, there may only be 12 or so tools but many issues of each over the years. Revell must have 6 or 7 tools ? If somebody is into say 32 Fords, how many tools have there been over the years & how many re-issues ect ?

At 1 time AMT, MPC, Monogram & Revell all had a 57 Chevy in there line up (was a kit comparision way back). They have been re-released various times over the years, & new tools still coming out. I've got nearly 100 different issues (gotta top 100 soon ) What else has been tooled so much ? Hazzard a guess at Mustangs or Camaro's ect but what years ?

Thanks for info gents. Looks like its gonna be a Daytona then ! Was thinking about a Charger NASCAR if it came with std front too. Though anybody seen the Pro Angrier satin black Daytona clone ?

Does the 69 Charger Daytona pro modeler # 5946, also include the standard 69 Charger front grill ? Or did they alter the chrome tooling ?

Needs no introduction to UK guys, but the MK2 RS 2000 was Fords hot car in Europe in the 70's. Totally different front nosecone, spoiler & bonnet to the standard car. I've just picked up a resin body to convert the Esci / Revell MK2 Escort from this to this. Probably build it as a street car, but they were also used in rally, racing, as Police cars ect. What do you guys think would best suit it ? Post more pics once it arrives in the post.

Normaly hide behind the camera, but this was last year. First time out in my just finished 57 Chevy

Well . . . . . . this has a lot to answer for . . . 25 odd years ago, recovering from a busted up leg, a mate bought me this kit to build (no internet or cable tv in the UK back then) Got me back into modelling & into 57 Chevys ! Fast forward a lot of years & I finally bought a 1;1 57 Chevy Tho mine is a 2 door sedan. Since finishing it, been bitten hard by the Junior Stock bug. If I do another, might be a 1;1 of this box art ? The avitar pic was done by a UK artist for me. Its now on t shirts, tool box stickers & coffee mugs ect all over my house, along with lots of orange stuff !!

I'll look out for ya. Small world, I'm in Gravesend. This threads a bad influence, want another dirty old cop car now !

Too many idea's, too many kits, not enough actual building ! Sometimes you just see a cool car in a mag or forum & think 'I gotta build that' All my stuff is based on US classic & muscle cars, drag inspired not stock.

Yup I'll be there as I dont live far away. Be loitering about, prob near the butty van lol. Be there in my Yellow Fox Mustang.

Johnny, if this is correct ; Cherhill White Horse and Lansdowne Monument east of Calne, N Wilts (visible from the A4) and also the former RAF camp at Yatesbury There is now a new Ford Timelord http://youtu.be/mGrsin07FSk Anymore details ect on the kit build Walter ?

Wow, thats a blast from the past. Got the record somewhere. Great scruffy build, love it. Shame the 70's Ford kits command stupid prices now. Love to drive a similar 1;1 Cop Car, make the ride into work more interesting ! The video is too funny. Notice the guys feet inside the dalek lol

Oooops, lol. Having a wobbly is when your 'other half' gets cross with all the car stuff in the house. Built a 28' x 14' garage to put my 1;1 57 Chevy in, along with worktops & cabinets ect. Nobody see's my builds up there, but in the dining room they do Normally the new cars go in the house & the older builds relegated to the garage,

I dont have an airbrush, so all my cars are sprayed with rattle cans. Any easy tips on how to make them look weathered / driven in winter ect ?

What car ???

Go in the small display cabinet in our dining room, untill the wife has a wobbly & they go in the display cabinets in my garage. If I ever built all my stash, I'd need a very big cabinet lol

Fantastic album Michael. Love a Max or Big Bopper car, but too expensive at the moment, Replied to your pm.
