  1. I've met a few modelers that aren't "connected" in any way, and they seem happy enough. And some of them aren't all that old.
  2. Just a stellar project! Can't wait to see the body in paint!
  3. Ron Hamilton has a handsome collection of "builders" from the metal axle days. Here are two of his, and he's got lots more!
  4. Just outstanding! Both of them! Thanks for sharing!
  5. Yes Sir! I'm always chasing built up models!
  6. I also use both. I have a couple of airbrushes and all the necessary "stuff" needed to use them, but, like most, I also have a really big collection of rattle cans.
  7. Try this link. Lyle used the Revell Rat Roaster kit as a platform for the R&MoM 'A' body. http://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/lyles_model_cars/lyles_street_rod_models/3.html
  8. Go for it! I think you'll find similar booths manufactured by the same company. In any event, the Fotodiox booth sets up in about ... two minutes. Just remember that the halogen lights are very hot, so be careful with them.
  9. I'm impressed! That's dedication to model building, for sure!
  10. Either way. I was just getting done shooting some pics when that was taken. Don't get those lights too close to the nylon fabric. They get VERY hot!
  11. With some mods. Lyle Willits has built a number of chopped '30 A's based on Revell's '32 kit.
  12. A new photo booth! Finally! This is a Fotodiox unit that Brett Barrow clued me in on. He bought one, and I followed his lead. It includes two (HOT!) halogen lights, four different backdrops and a hinky camera stand thingie. The unit folds flat in a self contained case, with pockets for storing the lights. At $40, delivered directly from Fotodiox, It's a pretty sweet dealio! This set-up beats the old way many of used to do model car photography. Way back then, we all used a background "sweep" using poster board, and our lighting came from reflector shades with tungsten bulbs. All that worked fine, but it sure was a pain to set up.
  13. The chop is perfect, and everything pictured comes with the kit. It also includes some clear acetate for the windows (not pictured). Me Like!
  14. Last one for me today. This crusty old dusty is SMP's '60 Chevy El Camino. It's a survivor for sure, and I might get around to "restoring" it one day. Or not. We'll see.
  15. Here's another one I bought the way you see it here. No paint. Note the precise mounting of the mirror, which fell off as I bagged it up for hibernation.
  16. Jo-Han Stude Dart. Big sucker, and I bought it this way.
  17. I'll start first! I needed to re-shoot some pics. My files are too big.
  18. I'll be saving up my money. I'm serious. Brett knows I will.
  19. No clue, although I'll bet somebody here does know.
  20. Here's one I wish I had a better picture of. I may have swiped this pic from an eBay listing, but I can't remember.
  21. Where to start? Got a nice 20"X20" photo box from Fotodiox yesterday, and I'm expecting delivery of a Rep's and Min, chopped Model A coupe today (I hope). All by mail. I was mail order deprived as a child.
  22. Michael Gross (from the 80's TV show Family Ties) is a model railroader. He's from the Chicago area originally, and has been a past celebrity guest at the iHobby (trade) shows. A very nice guy!
  23. Go for it! We love that old box art!
