Even my contest entries aren't that detailed. Hi Jeff! Well, after all, the goal is to have fun. And since you enter contests, I'm certain you are enjoying every minute of it. So much styrene, so little time! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncbuckeye67 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Yes Claude. Fortunately I have a very understanding wife, who not only tolerates our hobby (and the "accumulation" of unbuilt kits that goes along with it), she actually enjoys going along with me to shows! She has also bought me my two most expensive "hobby" items for Christmas: my paint booth, and air compressor (with air brush accessories).

She's a keeper, needless to say... CT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great model, Claude! Gorgeous paint! Hi Jim! Thanks for the comments. Indeed, a roof swap usually changes the vibe of any car, even more so if you put a more recent greenhouse on a car: say a 70's roof on a 50's car. Coddington's Chezoom is a good example. Makes it instantly more contemporary. CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi JIM! Good news: I was lucky, and found the source of the wheels on my RAW GOLD 68 TBird, that you inquired about, and that I stated came from a bag of wheels I bought from a vendor at a show. Well, today, I was going trough an old issue of SAE, and saw that they come from Revell of Germany 69 Corvette Coupe, kit no. 07192. Hope that helps!
