Over the last week, I'm suddenly having difficulty staying signed in when I try to post or reply to messages. Today I attempted multiple times to reply to several of my recent posts only to get logged ...

Thanks for the reply, Mark! I agree with you regarding the Cotton Owens website. It's where I found the photo in my original post.

Regarding the NASCAR LMS division of the 60s and 70s; it had always been my understanding that there was a 10-year model eligibility rule. Can anyone confirm if this is correct? As an example, what is ...

Thanks, Gary, for the additional information regarding the Jimmy Flinstone resin bodies.

Outstanding and ultra clean build!!

Great work, Gary! You certainly did justice to these vintage builds. Since you built multiples using this resin body, I assume you were very happy with the quality of the product. Any challenges for a ...

Elcejay,

I prefer not to clear coat after applying decals. I don't think a super high gloss finish is quite as accurate for this era. I did use some decal setting solution, sparingly, on several of ...

Thank you, Tom. Much appreciated!

Any suggestions as to a suitable color match for this car using Tamiya or MCW paints?

Thanks!

Bill,
Thanks for adding your WIP photos to this thread. Building a 65 Ford is still on my things to do list and your photos will be helpful to that end.

Elcejay,
You asked about additional photos. I've added a few for your review. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you about the build.

I apologize for the picture quality and the ...

Thanks for your interest! I do not have any WIP photos. The completed build photo was taken by someone else, and I had difficulty posting it using Flickr. I will try to take some additional photos and ...

This is a truly wonderful build, and the diorama adds to the impact of your work. Thanks for sharing the comment about a detailed build vs. box stock. I have one of the Camaro kits, but haven't opened ...

Thanks Chris! If I've learned anything, it's that if I'm smart enough to figure out how to post photos, anybody can. If you're interested in learning more and talking it through, send me a note.

I ...

Wow! Well done. this is a beauty!

Thank you for the positive comments. Much appreciated!

I really like this kit and it was a lot of fun to build. I would like to do another one, with added detail, including the addition of double ...

I have become a big fan of your work, regardless of subject matter. They just look right and capture the era perfectly! Thanks for sharing and I hope we continue to see both your finished models and y ...

Outstanding work as always, Mark! Your scratch building skills always amaze and inspire me to try and do more with my builds. I hope you continue to post your WIP on future projects!

Hi Matt! Happy to see you are still building and posting on this forum. We are way overdue to make another RPM meeting together!

Hi, I have been a long-time member, who occasionally posts to the site, but it's been many years since I have uploaded any WIP photos, and this is the first picture of a completed build that I have su ...

Thanks Tom!

Hi Tom,

If anyone was going to respond, I guessed it would be you, thanks! I seem to recall that you built one of the Moebius Pontiacs as well. Care to share which shade of blue and/or brand you u ...

As part of our RPM Club challenge, I am building the Fireball Roberts 61 Pontiac, using the Moebius Model King kit. For lack of suitable reference material, I won't be striving for a 100% accurate bui ...

I like it!!!

Thanks for the headsup. I didn't make the connection.

Thank you Bill, very much appreciated!

I have a friend who is a fellow member of the RPM Model Car Club based in Minneapolis who is looking for a set of Fireball Roberts decals for the 57 Chevy Bel Air, (white car). I thought at one time F ...

Thanks for the response, guys!

Tom,

Can you venture a guess at to the interior color for Butch's Dodges? I have yet to find a reliable internet reference?

Thanks!

Love your Charger, Matt. I would love to see it in person even more! Interested in attending the RPM Model Car Show on the 23rd? I'll send you a PM.

Bill, thank you for the information you added as well!

Thank you Gentlemen for all of your replies. Most appreciated and good information!

I know that on the previous website, there was plentiful information on stretching the AMT chassis, but stupid me ...

I have an unbuilt MPC Marlin Monte Carlo kit. I am thinking of using the body with the new Salvino Chassis. Mocking it up, it looks like it should be a good fit, perhaps with an extension to the back ...

Thank you for the quick reply! Do you recall the source of any of the resin hoods?

I recently acquired an unbuilt MPC Petty Plymouth, (for a reasonable price, too!) The hood is flat, but in all of the reference material I have come across for Plymouth's of this era, it appears that ...
