KI, Jimmy Flintstone makes that body in resin, a perfect fit for AMT's 55/7 pickup kits. It's a nice clean casting that builds up nice without any fit hassles, makes a great lookin model. Just like yours!

If you guys REALLY knew what a sick mind is behind all this, you might think different! The Cap'n GROWS HIS OWN MUSHROOMS!!! They're the new designer type, the kind that REALLY Funk you ALL up, but don't show. How you think he comes up with this stuff! Surely(and No,Cap'n, I'm NOT calling you Shirley,Although it IS a nice name!)the sign of a SICK mind! When we speak to each other on the phone, you'd NEVER know the mans NOT playin with a full deck, but when I see this stuff, and he talks about TALKIN TO skwerrly, I just know "Da boy ain't right" But don't nobody go an say nuttin, caz I wanna see how this all turns out!So far, so good. A mind is a TERRIBLE thing to waste!!!(Cap'n, got any a them shrooms left? I'm all out) (He grows da BEST!)

Historically Significant Race Car Guess!!!
george 53 replied to chevelle69's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
It seems to me, that if peices of the car leave it when it does what it was intended to do,it MAY NOT be very safe! Smart Chief starter! -
KB, if that's what you were goin for, you sure got it ! See how nice a model can come out without tons of detailing work? You dun good, it looks nice,and I like it. 'Nuff said!

Harry, " Wake up, little Rosebud, wake uuuup" Hope you slept well. Now, about this pic, I think it's still real, but I've lost my posse, an they MIGHT have done the right thing, but I made my choice an I'm STILL not sure it was the right one, but I dun gone an dun it, an I'm stickin with it. Did my crew do the right thing? Hopefully, I'll still be good to go, but if not, Oh Well, there's always next Monday to re coup! What is it Harry, RoM??????, inquirering minds NEED ta know!!!!!

Greetings from a new member
george 53 replied to karbuildr's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Welcome to THE BEST model car forum on the web,KB. I KNOW you gonna like,no, LOVE it here! These guys know everything! You'll definately learn stuff if you pay attention.Heck, you'll learn stuff even if you DON'T! It's ALOT of fun here, so, like Jed usta say," take yer shoes off a set a spell", caz your home now. -
I never met the Gentleman, but I knew well who he was. Anytime we lose one of the "Masters" it's ALWAYS a tragedy, but I'm sure his talents will be reborn anew in a new inspired modeler. Rest well Lee, we shall keep your memory alive and well in ALL our attempts to mimic your masterful skills. God's speed,Lee, R.I.P.

george 53 replied to RodBurNeR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
So, a bunch of cactus together are cacti? Man I love this place, ya learn sumpthin new everyday! Plus English wasn't one of my favorite subjects, But my English teacher Mrs. Conover, made it worth goin ta class! Thanks Harry! -
WoW Marcus, THAT came out GREAT! Looks right on.As far as the skirts are concerned, Does the Revell 48 Ford come with skirts you can use? I just checked, an the old Testors/IMC kit has a set of skirts that look similar, can you use them? Let me know and I'll send em off to you asap! BTW, is that you in the loach?

Coming Off A 3 Year Slump-A Completed Project
george 53 replied to CraigDaModeler's topic in Model Cars
Craig, it looks good to me, I don't see any flaws in it, but then again, we are our own worst critics. About the only thing I'd change is the wheels, caz Keystone Classics were never my favorite wheel, I go for Cragars, or Ansen Sprints. But that's just me. The model itself is beautiful! GREAT BUILD!!! -
Sam,I have a coupla of the Trumpeter 24th scale aircraft, and they are NICE!.They're kinda a bi#4% to build, but man do they come out nice! Only thing is, they're BIG! they take up quite a bit of room on the shelf. One quick question, How's my favorite physician and personal Dr, Dr. Vinnie Boombaa, of the staff of the California Institute for the Used to Be Alright doin? I sure do miss him AND the Institute! Give him my regards!

What would you rather...
george 53 replied to Chuck Most's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Might be just me, But,I'd buy em both, A, caz I love the car(even if it's not such a great kit( Palmer kits ARE exempt!)And B,caz I can't pass up a good deal on ANY kit! Again, Palmer kits are exempt,caz those were REALLY junky kits!!! -
MCM Contest Issue #139 came today!
george 53 replied to RodBurNeR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Off topic, BUT.... would just one cactus(nopal,in spanish)be a CACTI? Anyways, I'm still waitin on that Lil Hawaiian dude -
Me either, but it looks good in that color!
-
Scott, as soon as I saw that last picture, I thought,"gee, that looks like a hot dog cooker" then I read the caption an thought, Dam, he's GOOD! It looks like it's gonna come out GREAT!
-
Sam, I like the last one best! Ain't it GREAT when you can build a model of your FIRST car? Your a lucky ol dog aintcha? Hang in the Bro, things'll pick up for ALL of us eventually! That 55 ain't too shabby either!
