  1. Got the '63 Nova wagon today, And it's a very nice casting of the amt 63 nova wagon kit. Very clean with only the axle holes and bumper hole to clean out.
  2. Nope he has it in the right place. This section is for big rigs, PICKUPS, For questions, comments ect.
  3. For the most part USPS does do a great job and sometimes even beats the expected delivery date (I've had a few that actually did that) But then some time's something goes wrong and the package or letter goes on a scenic tour of other states.
  4. I figured that when they offered Hospice it was going to happen fast. My he rest in peace. I hope he went peacefully, and without any pain!
  5. Vince, Funny thing is I mailed a total of 4 packages, March 31 st. and all but yours made it on Monday! One package to J.T,Williams, One package to Mark Orr, Both are memebers of the forum, One package to Amelia , Ohio,and your package Vince. And as of 5:04 a.m. april 4 th yours is still in transit to it's destination.
  6. The package I sent to Vince was supposed to get to him Today, But I just checked and all the tracking say's it's in transit to it's destination. Hopefully he'll get it tomorrow and in good condition!
  7. I sent Vince Nelson a few thing's that I traded to him Via USPS priority mail on Friday all went well till yesterday when it went from Warrendale Pa, past Puxsutaney Pa 429 miles North east to Springfield Ma. The shippment should not have even left the state of Pa. ANYONE ELSE HAVE A TALE TO TELL About USPS Screw up's?
  8. Yes I know that they don't come with glass.On the 63 Nova wagon i'll have to supply the following: Engine, steering wheel, tires,wheels,axle's and the glass. Pictures of his casting that he showed of the Nova wagon look very good, But I won't really know untill I get it in the mail.
  9. I bidded on the 66 Impala wagon, But lost it, Then opened a bid on a 63 Impala wagon , and lost it to the same person as the 66 wagon. I then waited till the last minutes to bid on a 63 Nova wagon ( which had 0 bids) , and I did win that one. I'll let everyone know how it looks when it get's here to me.
  10. Both my late wife and my dad went into hospice care, and both enjoyed their last day's. My dad went through the cemotheropy and when he started to have new blood almost every day he decieded it was time to stop,enter the hospice center and enjoy the last remaining day's he had. Hospice nurse's are very kind and The patiants get treated like royalty! it saddens all of us when someone has to pass away.
  11. O.K. I placed a bid on his 66 Impala wagon ( I Love wagons) raised around them. My family owned Pontiac wagons until 1987.
  12. any one ever deal with them? I seen he was a member of the forum but hadn't visited since 2012 I seen he's selling on Ebay,
  13. Yes they are a nice kit, better if you don't use the metal axle on the front, then the wheels are able to turn right and left.
  14. Just finished this 1/16 57 Chevy. I'd like to thank Vince Nelson for trading me his unbuilt copy of this car.
  15. Anyone have a copy of MCW's '68 or 69 Impala's, are they still around? how good are the castings? What is one cost with shipping and all included?
  16. Actually was an Ambulance kit ,But I went with a rare windowed hearse. ( the curtins are hand painted on the inside of the back window's
  17. Well Enough already!!!! Don't you guy's think that over 50% of the resin casting out there are made from either a promo or a kit? And They copied smp/amt/ revell/Johan ect. without asking! I know that Modehaus wasn't the only ones to make a 67 Impala wagon, Star resin made one . Jimmy Flintstone , Make's copies of the smp 60 Nomad wagon and revell's old 57 Ford four door wagon. Even Paul made a 53 ford wagon that I seen on resin realm and it looks simular to the one Flintstone still offers for sale on his site. This also happens in the 1:1 automotive world. Ford based their 66-76 Bronco heavily on the International Scout.
  18. And what B.S, would that be??
  19. The Jeep is missing the windshield frame otherwise complete as one of the generic "blonde" hawkeye figure would have came with it new. The same "blonde" Hawkeye aslso would have came with the Ambulance, and the Chopper. That is why there are three of them in the box I bought. Just wish the box would of had the rest of the camp for the place mat and bit's I got.
  20. I don't sell on ebay for personal reason. My plan is to sell everything but the ambulance (plan on keeping that), at the U.S.127 Garage sale this year. That's unless someone want to do some trading for the rest of the thing's. Picture of my Monogram Mazda RX-7 on the Ambulance roof.
  21. A loose Margret "hot lips" sold on ebay last week for $26.00 buy it now price.
  22. Mark, it's plastic. Not sue of scale on it but it was in a box with the rest of these M*A*S*H 4077 toy's.
  23. Well I'm sorry That I'm disabled and get $735.00 a month That money pay's for my half of the rent,electric,gas. Also I have gasoline cost, auto insurance,trash bill, renter's insurance, Plus getting food and second hand clothes if I can. If i am lucky I'll get at least one kit from hobby lobby with a 40% off . Not many Garage sales or other places even sell kit where I live. Nearest hobby shop's are 30+ miles from me as are the hobby Lobby stores. If I didn't have a roommate I would never beable to stay in this hobby. I'm also sorry I took 4 years of my life to take care of my late wife which was a 24/7/365 job with no time off or pay! Being that she first went blind and month after ended up with renal failure. with fighting with the renal center almost every visit she went from 170 Lbs to 107. That place had her so messed up she wouldn't eat hardly. Those were Four rough years Just glad she went peacefully when she passed. I tried to get a job after she had been gone a month, never could get any job though, In the Factories here you have to have a heck of a pull to get in. So My bad knees and high hip won out and I'm unable to go much work.
  24. X2, Those of us who are on a fixed income with near little to no extra money would like to have such things. Why couldn't you "donate" to guy's like us????
  25. Once again I'll ask: how much and how do we get one? Do you have a web site that you sell from?
