Nova-ss replied to Nova-ss's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
LOL..funny i thought what you did about this kit.I've built all the Galaxy kits..there great.I built Revell open top car trailer..loved it.I actually have a glue bomb Revell trailer going now. so I ran across two of these on ebay.the one I'm building now was glued once at least.no tires or rims.the clear top was smashed flat.so I out of the blue just desided to build a real looking open top car trailer out of it..its been fun. thank you David,I appreciate your thoughts and experjences.have a great day.....Chris -

MPC 32 Ford America Graffiti Milner's car
Nova-ss replied to Nova-ss's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ok,so the switcher 32 Ford has a chopped top and body? The net says Milner 32 had a three inch chopped top..not body..right.so the body being chopped is wrong. inaccurate frame?.the inaccurate or absence or a real frame is a problem I can solve. Milners 32 has cycle front fenders and bobbed rear ones.are those in any kit? the chopped rad. shell,plus it looks different shaped on the Milner 32,where would or how would you make one? starting there as far as the problems go.is there anything in the MPC more American Graffiti 32 Ford that is of use for this car? -

Brings back memories for me.I started building models at the young age of 4 years old.I can't remember the car,but it was a AMT.my friend named David and I started on my bed,asked my mother for glue,she said no and gave us scotch tape...we built the most we could with tape..I was in love with building.my first kit was I got on my own was Barnabus Collin's show car.my uncles helped me with parts of the car.knowing engine parts.trying to build as good as they did.it was so fun back then.less about if the plug wires where wired in the right timing order..sure miss those days...I do feel and hear ya.it was so fun......Chris

I know its money,but would buy them if reissued.if no risk no pay off.its a different time now . probably never make what is wanted,and never make what 24th an 25th would,but ya never know.I would love to see and would buy many of the larger scales if reissued.......Chris
