O ######'n, didja hear that? He acshuly INVITED usWoooHooo, wens tha LAST TIME anyone dunTHAT???!!!! WHHHOOOOEEEEEE Jar, ya jus mita started a long waited road trip! See we got this ol Buddy Gramps what lives in Pensilvany (I think) an yer in Tennysee, I thin we could hitcha both up in one trip.Whatcha thin ######'n?

Aaron, I think Collectable Is a relative term, Like if you really want it, it's "collectable" Go ahead an build on it if you want, it's your money an car(or truck) I've got about 35 Franklin an Danburys, and Ive got a couple off the bay to modify. I paid 120 for the yellow 69 Charger, an 85 for another one off the bay, just to paint it black,like the one I used to have. Hey, if the urge strikes you, go for it, it's only worth what someone will pay for it!

Oh sorry Dan, Real nice build! Ilike this one too! So far yer battin a 1000!

Yeah I'd like to know too, After all they do it for free(don't they?) What a cool deal, I know I wouldn't bitch!

:blink:Watchutalkinbot,Zeb? Watchumeangoin?

Hey, Bro, I can't be held responsible for what happens to any kit I don't own anymore. What it does , or who it hangs with after I cut it loose is a whole nuther story. I suggest you keep a better eye on who or what its hangin with, or you may find yourself in a compromising situation!Oh, and don't feed it AFTER dark!

WOW Mike, Thats a sweet lookin lil Pickemup! Great color!

What's the story on the beat-up Dragster, or the transporter? Modeling them just as they are would be cool!

AWWW jeeze Harry, Now my stomachs REALLY feelin funny!

Well ######'n, you NEVER jar a Jar outa his sleep, 'spcially ifn he's got his weapon at the ready! Let me get with my ol buddy, Santy Clause,( HE can get in ANYWHERE!) an see if HE'll go in first to draw attention from us. I know their ways, and it's hard to overcome the training, Sides, EVERYONE Loves Santa! But I still think it'll be easier if we find another mark! Hey, we could tell him we're collecting for "Toys for Tots"! I useta do it every year at work!Thats how I gotto know Santy all personal like! (He's not a bad guy either!) But I'm easy, so we can work sumpthin out to let Jar know he's been welcomed into the fold!

Ere ya go ######'n Now THATS the attitude I've come ta know an luv! But we REALLY gotta watch out dealin with Jar, cuz If he's like me an Clay, It'll be quite a trick ta get into his place! Maybe we should choose an easeir hit. I don't really wanna mess with a fellow Marine. Comaraderie, an all that, ya know?

An ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!!, Ya know Harry, I just thought that rascal hadta be real, cuz NO self respectin modeler would PURPOSLY build sumpthin THAT UGLY! Wonder if ol Gary will EVER get his money back?

OOOO, Dan, THAT is one sweeeet lookin ride! Yep, it sure does look "Fooze ish" if thats the look you were goin after! Man so far you ain't stopped with the killer rides, They've ALL been great builds! Keep postin, I'm havein a GREAT time!

Welcome Jar, There's a few of "the few, the proud" here, an everyone gets along! Sorry to hear of your disability, But modeling is a great way to pass the time, ask Clay when he's not on duty, or babysittin. Your gonna like it here, everyone is willing to help an answer any questions, an give advise, take advantage of all the knowledge,cuz it's FREE! Carry on Marine, an do your best!Semper Fi!

Well you did tell me it wouln't just sit onna shelf, I'm glad she's gettin some well deserved attention! You Go Kev! Do it up right!

THE Phil Hill? The race car driver?

NOW can you PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD? We were havin fun till it got political. Nothin against you Jarius, but thats what started all the ###### on Rants an Raves. Maybe Gregg can start a Enter at your own risk thread for you guys who like that stuff.

Welp, I guess we found it! Thanks Torino!

Bob, that rascal is dead on 25th scale! I used parts from the 51 Chevy to do some work on it an everything fit perfectly! I THINK AMT was using this model when they were talkin about releasing it in plastic, a few years back.Too bad they didn't cuz I think it woulda sold well to us older guys. John's is just too nice!

Dave, My best friend when I'm modeling, is Fred, my Westie. He lays at my feet, or sits on the extra chair at my desk, right beside me. He never critisises my work, and seems to be just as happy as me when we're workin on a model. He is not just a pet, but my best friend too! If it hadn't been for him, retirement might have driven me crazy! We go for walks, and he rides with me when I can let him.Yep, we get along great,and we always seem to see things the same way! He's my best bud!

NICE JOB! John!, I've got that rascal in Green an yellow,WITH the coinslot. Where did you get yours? I got mine at a fleamarket for 8 bucks, but they all had coinslots! Didn't know they came without em! Yours is downright Beeeeutyful!

######, Dan, I really like your outside shots! They make the cars look so real! Look like a nice neighborhood too! I think BOTH trucks look great in that color, and it also looks like great minds DO think alike!

Bill, I know youv'e got some big ol mitts, cuz I've seen em in pics, BUT it doesn't look like you got coke bottle lenses too! It's just AMAZING to me how you guys can build stuff THAT SMALL!!!! But more power to ya, caz if you build em, I'll certainly be amazed by em!

SEARS????!!!!!, our local Sears store hasn't sold ANY kind of model kits for over 30 years! No toyland, no nuthin! Not even Santa at Christmas! (only if you go to the portrait studio!)

Whoa,ALL that fits in a 43rd scale kit? ######, Gregg, you sure are over the edge! I wouldn't EVEN try to get that deep! Your REALLY gonna need glasses after THAT one! Good lucky Kiddo!
