    I’ve got that shamed I er and found it in OK Falls, BC.
    And fitness guy thanks for the guilt! I have a handful of what I built when was a kid and about 110 kits I bought over the years up in my attic I should build...

    Stalled on my real projects since my 2 strokes 14 months ago so maybe I should start attacking the horde! A lot of die-cast as well.

    I bought/ built when they were $2.98 CDN, Testor spray was $.98 a can, little bottles of paint $.15 a bottle. Saw some kits a couple of weeks ago at $49.99 and up. My gawd things have got very expensive. But on the other hand I have my pensions and don’t rely on $.25 a week for chores...

    This is a new-tooled 1971 Dodge Demon i finished last night for a model show my club (Long Island LIARS) hosts on Saturday.

    This is a sub-theme class. I think we may have around 10 or more entries.

    Paint is Duplicolor, clear coat is SEM 1K gloss. The wheels and tires are 3D printed. o are other small parts like the carb, coil, gas filler.

    I used the Revell chrome spray paint on the grille and exhaust tips.

    Getting a drivers license in early 1967 killed my model building, maybe this is the Winter i get back to finishing some.
     
  6. I've been re-creating some of the race cars we've had in the past.

  12. I'm no where near as polished as you guy's, but, I enjoy scratch building things like the *****py home made trailers we used and the ramp truck.

    they had a big AMT model display at WalMart last time I was there... luckily they did not have this 51 in the display or I would have bought one.

    Found a 40 sedan kit on marketplace this summer. Recreated my sedan in a scale version including the orange engine under the hood now.

  21. Don't forget. That Impala kit is 1/25 scale. So 1/24 scale wheels would look a bit big on it

    I was a vendor, so I didn't get out to see that many cars on the tables.

    If you are local, the club meets on every 3rd Thursday in Bluepoint. 7 pm at the Henrietta Acompura lodge on 27A about a 1/4 mile east of Nichols Road. Just past King Kullen, before 7-11.

    There is another show in late March at the same venue put on by the LISM club which is mainly military. But we bring tons of cars to it.

    When they released the 64 Olds kit I remember thinking, I hope Eric builds his Olds, and you did! Looks killer and that Corvair, wow!
