  1. Not too many new ones. I've been too busy doing "real work" and the magazine stuff...I wish there were more hours in a day! Here's one that I did a few days ago... so I guess it is "new"... 2010 Tucker.
  2. This stuff is unreal. Too cool. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
  3. Signature Models makes a 1/18 diecast...
  4. As soon as we have news, you guys will be the first to hear it...
  5. Here's what happens when I get lazy and use a photo that somebody sent me instead of finding one myself: It's too easy for you guys! Final vote: 47 REAL, 14 MODEL. It's REAL! Next ROM coming Monday... and I'll be looking for a much harder one!
  6. Yessir! I like my model kits BIG and COMPLICATED! The more parts, the better I like the kit. The only downside to being a Pocher guy is the $$$$... But I just bought another Pocher the other day (thanks, Mr. Obsessive!)
  7. Chrysler 225 slant-6. The engine that would not die!
  8. Whoever owns that car probably also owns this: Only $75,000...
  9. You forgot to mention that all of those redoubled glad tidings will not only be "deficit neutral" but will actually SAVE money over a ten-year period be "bending the cost curve!" Now that's a governmental Thanksgiving greeting!

    Red Baron

    For those of you into show rod kits... http://www.showrods.com/home_page_links/alpha_list.html
  11. Ventilation... just like a lot of cars of the 20s-30s.

    Red Baron

    The "real" Red Baron was actually built after the model came out. Usually a show rod model kit was a copy of the full-scale car, but in the case of the Red Baron, the model kit (designed by Tom Daniel) came out first... then the "real" car was designed and built to copy the model. The kit had an aircraft engine, the real car used a Pontiac OHC six. And the real car's helmet was made of fiberglass, and painted silver, because at the time nobody had the capability to chrome plate a piece that large.
  13. I think that what makes a kit "bad" isn't necessarily what is or isn't included... some people couldn't care less whether there is an engine or not. As long as what's in the box is accurate and fits together, that's what counts. Content (or lack of) is more of a subjective thing. But if a kit, regardless of what's in the box, looks inaccurate, or has parts that don't fit, or needs some sort of major modifications during assembly just to get the dang thing together... well, that's a bad kit! Basic accuracy and engineering should be a given of any "good" kit.
  14. If that's your idea of an example of the "worst kit" you ever built, you're way off base! Your model looks darn good to me! I know a large part of that is your own personal skill, but if the worst part of that model is variable panel lines, and it can be built into that nice of a model, I'd have to think that there are FAR worse models out there much more deserving of the "worst of all time" label.

    Jeeps

    Those are all really cool. I love the lawn truck with all the stuff in back.
  16. I'm pretty sure that Gregg is the only one that can actually close out a membership.
  17. If you have any issue of MCM, look at the insert card. It lists back issue information. If you don't have any issues of the magazine, you can get back issues here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/back_issues.html
  18. "On further revue"... yes, you're right.
  19. That's right! I know that a lot pf people smoke... but I'll bet that most of them wish they didn't. It's a nasty, expensive, and maybe even a deadly habit, and once you get started, it's very hard to stop. Do yourself a big favor and stay away from it. There's absolutely nothing to be gained from it, and potentially everything to lose. I locked your previous thread because it was off topic... but I'm going to leave this open, because you've shown some good common sense... and maybe some other members will read this and realize the harm they can do to themselves if they smoke (or start to smoke).
  20. I would have flipped the colors. The "heavier" color (blue) on the bottom, the "lighter" color (silver) on top.
  21. Unless the license plate said "Maisto" or something...
  22. A decade is 10 years. The first decade of the 21st century was January 1, 2000 through Dec. 31, 2009. The second decade will be Jan. 1, 2010 through Dec. 31, 2019, and so on. If you consider the year 2010 to be part of the first decade, that would make the "decade" 11 years long (Jan. 1, 2000 through Dec. 31, 2010). And a decade isn't 11 years long, regardless of when (or if) Jesus was born!
