Happy AMT/IMC/MPC/Revell Day!

[Mike999]

I'm right on schedule for 1/26 scale day, since I spent part of the day fooling with a Maisto '55 Buick CHP car.

Long as I'm here...1/24 day this year was the 98th birthday of Jerry Maren.  He's the last surviving Munchkin from the 1939 "Wizard of Oz"  movie. In the pic below, he's in the middle:

Could be if you want to declare it so. But don't leave out the Monogram 1/8s. And didn't Lindberg do a few, too?

Eh, it is all jut a bunch of numbers to me . . .

If we could only get this worked up about something  serious

Well, it is a whole community based on little plastic toy cars.  (And a few metal ones too.)

It's here again! May you have a very happy and productive 1/25!

Cool! I missed it last year. Everyone should endeavor to stay indoors and work on a model today! Well, everyone that doesn't have to go to work anyway.

[Snake45]

Where DOES the time go? It's 1/25 again. I hope you had a happy and productive day!

Cool thread. And today happens to be my birthday.

I think it was an attempt at humor since today's date is 1/25 and those companies mainly produce 1/25th scale kits that this should be "Model Day" or something. 

 

Of course, it could also be "Scale Haters Day" for those who think all models should be 1/25th scale, since I don't remember seeing anything like this on 1/4, 1/6, 1/9, 1/12, 1/16, 1/20, or 1/24 and I'm sure 1/28 will get no love either. 

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a “scale hater”.

But I have been attending a 12 step program.

I haven’t made it past step 1.

I also celebrated one day earlier.  

Plus I celebrate on January 6, 8, 12, and 16. But I can't celebrate 32, 43, 87, or 160, but I'm ok with that.   Some of us have lots to celebrate.

When the pandemic broke out, I went to the hobby shop, it was the moment to start again. Once inside the shop I was faced with one of my life's decisions, 1/25 or 1/24 ??
The thought of all the Jo-han kits with amazing box art was the deciding factor. Sure, after that I've twisted and turned on both Tamiya and Monogram boxes but only one Fujimi Porsche has ended up in the pile so far. I know, some kits aren't right but somewhere in the back of my mind are memories of AMTs with Monogram wheels in my boyhood bedroom. The diffuse engraving in old AMT kits and the fight against the drop angle has its charm.

Looks like we missed the boat on 1/16 Day. Bummer.

a slight mis quote here..."Happy Scales to You"

The holiday almost got by me. This thread was a bit tough to find. 

[Tabbysdaddy]

Happy 1/25 day all!

[Falcon Ranchero]

That’s hilarious. But I am going to have to wait till February to build the next kit in line

[LennyB]

I guess I missed 1/24th day 😫

 

Where's H.G. Wells when you need him?

[rattle can man]

For scales beyond 1/25, I say celebrate on the 43rd, 72nd, 160th etc. day of the year.
