Just talking about this place over at MCM and wanted to stop over and say hi. It is quiet but there is allot of good info here. One of the originals! Anyway, glad to see Nacho still has it going.

I do believe that we had a great time together over here. Lots of civil discussions over here and some great friendships as well. People slowly drifted away.

Gonna add a little more to this.Got the engine wired the best I could and the body almost ready for paint.

Got this milliput stuff to try to mold some sleeping bags

They kind of look like bags. May try to make them a little smaller, just experimenting at the moment

Put a lip around the trunk with some evergreen strips

Went ahead and sprayed semi gloss on the tarp and filled those holes on the hood, didn't really like that.

Figured out something for the trunk floor, gonna throw some flock on it later

here it is with the bags and a tire. kind of why I'm thinking about making the bags a bit smaller.

Anyway, this is kind of the direction I'm looking at. Thanks for looking.

Did some research and decided to cut he trunk open. First time doing that for me. Took the scriber to it.

This is what I ended up with

Then I started figuring out straps on the hood. Painted dull and drilled holes

Made a little loop with some wire I have on hand

More I worked with it, didn't like it, Ill get back to it later.
The trunk lid I cut out I used for a tarp. Took the same wire and wrapped it around. Added some kitchen foil and painted flat black.

Think it kind of looks like a tarp. Thanx for lookin guys!

This is kind of the direction I'm going at the moment. Gonna go with some thinner tires for the spares and fashion some kind of rack for the roof. Got the steelies out of a 57 Ford kit. Did the letters on the tires with a sharpie paint pen a while back, was experimenting so figured why not use them now? Need to set the rear up a bit for the trip.

Trying a few more new things on this. Panel line wash and assembling a little before paint. See how it goes.

First group build I'm gonna try since...hmmm...The Chevy hundred year anniversary build on here many years back. I failed big time! But I did get it done A few years later...lol, like maybe 8! It's the 55 Vette up there^ Anyway, this is a build on another site. Did some research on this P2P rally and it looks like a really cool adventure. Gonna try this 41. I think my wife and I could keep it running for around 8k miles! I'll try to keep it posted here too.

This where I started a while back. Puttied around the front insert and in the process of replacing the little ribs with stretched sprue. I'll get better pics as I go.

Ok, that last mom I put up was kinda silly. Lets just throw any finished model in here and see what happens. I,ll start with my 30 ford

Think I airbrushed with an old little bottle testors light blue. Except for the wheels, all of the chrome was done with alclad chrome. I'm not showing the plug wires cause they're twisted little insides of phone wires dipped in yellow paint. kind of goofy looking.

When I was about 8, my older brothers friend gave me a 65 Pontiac Bonneville Custom. I really liked the car.
Over the years the got lost, stolen, sold, or traded, I don't recall. But I would build one, one day.
I did, but I used a body from a '65 Pontiac 2+2 as it has only a single chrome strip. Painted in House of Kolor Sno-white pearl and Sunrise pearl.
Anyway, here's the "Creamsicle Cruiser"

Thank you for your interest,

Welcome back Jerry! I came back a little bit ago and was really glad John still had it going. The big sites really did a number on this and other forums, but a few of us are trying to keep it chugging along. I've been laying off a bit lately, been real busy with work and working around home, but its starting to mellow out a bit. Hang around and lets bring a little life back to this!

But I'm rethinking those Social Media groups. Some of them are so big. (I was in one with39K members), and only a few dozen actually build. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome back. As you can see, TMM is a shadow of its former self. These forums, for the most part, just can’t compete with the big social media platforms. I check in everyday but there is little to no activity.

This was a bit of a real challenge to restore. Started with 2 really bad glue bombs.
As this is a rare kit and expensive, (if you can even find one), I found one then waited a few years when I found another. It took both cars to build the one.

Basically what I started with. As you can see they are NOT pretty.

And here's the finished product, it took a few years I don't deny!

Monogram #2213
This car was on display at a hobby shop as it sits, (in green), the object was to see how many people noticed that it was unfinished. was definitely surprised at the comments about how cool looking it was!!!!
Well, 40yrs later I finally redid it.
