Repstock

Donor kit is the AMT "Phantom".

Finally... Only two more.

More:

Here's what I'm giving to the caster.

Sunday only Toy Show for me. Maybe next time...

I used to have two near me as well. The good one moved to the other side of town, and I'm left with the small, poorly stocked one. Example: The good one offered Evergreen and Plastruct. The small one has no intention of stocking Plastruct, and hasn't reordered the Evergreen since they opened, as far as I can tell.

I noticed there are separate locker rooms, and not because of gender. In 1947, this is how it was. I found these plans fascinating, and have saved them for further examination. It's like a paper time capsule. How things have changed!

I will buy multiples of both versions.

What scale is it?

It may be too late, but this often overlooked detail really helps the look of the C series. I don't know why it wasn't molded on in the first place...

When I worked for peanuts for a small robotics company, I had the program on my computer, and taught myself (with the help of a sympathetic engineer) how to muddle through it. One of the few perks of working there. To this day I think that company only existed as a shelter for ventures in which the owner was actually interested.

I have plans for "A" and "B" (I have access to remaining actual structures), but I haven't located a "C" design yet. For the last several years, I have been locating stations of the '70s, and with my eldest son, measuring them. These measurements are used to create an AutoCad drawing in 1/25 scale. So far I have done two Texacos, a Clark, a Shell, and a Phillips 66 station.

If I remember correctly, I think I used a sleeper (like on the AMT Kenworth conventional) for the basic fairing parts.

The H series, made from the AMT C Series. This one is not resin.

This is the kind of info I'm looking for. Still a work in progress, but I will take note of everything you've said.

Here's my progress so far on the master...

Very nice! What kind of glue is used to bond the veneer to the plastic?

I have won three (over the years) International CO-4070A's for $25.00 (buy it now, these were three different occasions) on eBay. I got a sealed 1/32 International Eagle cabover at the Toledo NNL for $30.00, lastly, when I worked at a department store (going out of business), they gave me 125 pounds of .020 styrene sheets (the dividers in the record racks, yes, THAT long ago) for $10.00. I still have about 120 pounds left. Oh yes, I got a 1970 JoHan Roadrunner for $27.00 on eBay. (blurry picture, sold as a GTX. I took a chance, and the model was perfect!) I have never found any deals at flea markets or yard sales. I still look, though.

Thank you. the Greens were Dupli-Color Hampstead Green, and Dark Jade Green.

Born 1960. Lean toward Fords but favorite 1960 is the Impala/Bel Air/Biscayne.

This is just my opinion, many will differ...any car with the donk treatment makes the list.

My '04 Element is the AWD model and gets about 24-25 mpg. These days that's not really a great number either. Better than my 19 mpg Caravan was, though.

To be embarrassed about driving a car implies you care about what other people think when they see you in it. I don't care, and am quite happy with my Element. I have a large frame, and it was the smallest vehicle I found that I feel comfortable in (especially headroom). The only complaints I have are excessive engine noise in the interior,seats not good for long trips, and those goofy rear doors in tight parking. A+ on everything else (except styling. I don't hate it, but NOT A+).

Gotta love a Lincoln. Very cool.

Maybe one of those 1992 Ford pickup promos could donate a representation of the twin I beam. Were they still using Twin I beam in 1992?
