vincen47 Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 There's a prototype for everything in the model world. Here's a cool stretch I found while camping this summer...
Model Brain Posted October 22, 2014 Author Posted October 22, 2014 HI MCM. Well if your wondering what happened to me, Well I'm 39 years old and I've been diagnosed with a terminal cancer of the appendix and abdomain. I am recovering from surgery, my world got flipped upside down, I had to leave my home, my job, my friends, I am fortunate to have my Mother and Father to invite me (back) into their home. Me and my dog are happy here, I'm struggling through the Chemo therapy, settling in more and more every day, and I'm slowly back to working on my little 1/24 scale world.
Pim Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 So sad to hear that mate I hope models provide the perfect therapy
disabled modeler Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Hang in there Johnathon....building is great therapy...at times its all that keeps me going.
Superpeterbilt Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Very sorry to hear that. I cant imagine what your going through. For whats its worth, excellent job on the vans.
Model Brain Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Thanks gang, It means a lot to me!! progress coming soon!
FullPowerGarage Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Those G20's are my dream car's! I'm 15 and my dad had a '91 G20, then he wanted to sell it, came 2 guy's but they weren't interrested 'said my dad'. But the van was sold, he lied, my world tumbled down (really). I was angry for 2 day's and mad at everyone! I learned to drive in it, it was weak but I had character. I slept in it for years on Belgian Car Meeting's, parents had a caravan, I just fell in love with it, the style, the V8 rumble, the.. I miss it everyday, it's been gone for like 2 years and now there's a '03 Tahoe in place of it, it's a fun car too, but I am not that attached to it like the Van.. Seen it previous year on a car meeting, they were just trashing the Van, we where sitting in front our caravan, and there was a drifting G20 passing and, it was the one, they were drunk and trashing on it.. I got mad, turned to my dad, said 'you shouldn't sell it to those guys!' He said 'yes I know..' He surely was missing the Van, can't remember a lot of things happened over 5 years ago, but if there is onr thing I remember, the Van played a role in it. Your building a nice van! Sorry 'bout spamming your topic but wanted to tell a vanner.
Model Brain Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 Thats cool Jamie! do you have a G20 scale model to build? please let me know I have some to donate, I have one shorty with flared fenders, w chassis. and more. let me know.
FullPowerGarage Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Well I would love to build a G20! The problem is I'm from Belgium and it's a long way, I will show this post to my parents and hear what they say. I will send you a PM with the answer. Also I didn't read your update on your diagnose since I only read the first page and I wish you much strenght!
checkmate Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 All the best Jonathan, love the van build mate.(and vans in general)
Model Brain Posted November 19, 2014 Author Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks Rob. Very cool Vanners link, Cool vans! Thanks again coming from Australia!
Model Brain Posted December 11, 2014 Author Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Prime Time! Edited December 11, 2014 by Model Brain
FullPowerGarage Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Looks good!! I have disconnected the suspension yesterday from my van's I got from you, got to go for donors as soon as possible.. :s
Model Brain Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks Jamie, This thing has become a body man's nightmare, Yeah she's wavy, lumpy, grumpy, a little messy as well. (don't ask) but I think I'm able to work with it now, and a few decals will hide a few spot's!! here's hoping!! I feel bad you had more room in your box, I could have popped in a few Corvette stuff. Next time! give me a wish list. what do you need? Rear ends? motor's I have more Corvette stuff than van's believe it or not! but I've never build a Vette, only for parts! Keep rocking on that garage too Jamie!
FullPowerGarage Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Hmm.. thanks for the offer but, I allready got free stuff from you, I'll get my donors on my own. But thanks a lot for the offer.
