Great pics.

 

The date is pretty clear this week
Thanks for starting off this week, great models you have posted.
This is my input this week, mate by my mate Marshie (FC59)

 

Thanks

 

Amazing paint work on this one.

 

Hey FAT141, what scale is the deuce?

 

I built this one a few years ago. Found the built T at a yard sale. Took it apart and started over. Engine is a Revell Parts Pack Caddy 354 cu in. Front tires are O-rings. I want to put some more realistic backing plates and Buick finned drums on the front axle. I know they're available in resin...I just forget who makes them. Anyone know?

 

...nice stuff again today, here's a shot of one of my favorites, a 40 Ford p.u.

 

That truck was painted by Pancho. His patterns are amazing.

 

1/8 scale is my favorite, thanks for posting fat141.

 

WOW really great items This week, amazing talent and lots of patience Keep it coming Thanks

 

Marcie, Unbelievable detail on the duece.............

Thanks ALL for the Pics.

The Western Nationals was great yesterday. I think the idea of moving the vendor tables to give more display space was a good one. The model count was 912, a little down, but recovering from 2012. I had a great time talking to old friends like Larry Henly (pictured at the top). The Monterey Bay club is great-they always donate a giveaway model(s) for the door prize drawing.

I started this one afew years ago, time to get back at it.Still needs more snding and details need to be figured out.Thank you. Enjoy.

 

Yup, I like 'um! Thanks for posting - great photos.

 

Good looking model:

 

beebing , you can probably get repro distortion decal sheets try on ebay the ones you have will most likly fall apart if you try to use them

 

Thanks man. Yes they're bad. I found this kit in a box stuffed in a garage...not a good environment.
But the rest is in great shape.

 

I talked to Jimmy Flintstone at the Milwaukee World of Wheels yesterday.

The latest from my bench.

 

Hey, that's from the "AMT Elegance series", big flat box:




Issued in 1967 if I remeber correctly. Great kit! The headlight lenses where blue too

Btw, great builds this Sunday!

 

The builder Curt Raitz is in the club I belong to. He saw a piece on a model froum about the wire wheels. He has made a jig and builds the wheels using monofiliment for the spokes. They come out great don't they?

 

Nice cars today guys...Thanks for posting! Kev.
