Once again, another great video… Love those 40s cars are trucks… Great paint and finishes… As I said before, you know where to go, it makes watching your channel worth while… ALL GREAT BUILDS… Did you ever see the movie AMERICAN GRAFFITI ????? Great cars and MUSIC… I think copy right laws are ridiculous, it’s just music, people aren’t making money with it, am I right???????? Anyways, thanks for putting this together… CHRIS 🇺🇸

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

American Graffiti is one of my favorite movies Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I think your right about the copy right laws, oh well, what can we do. So glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for the kind words.

Thank you Tim for another great video!!!! It was great seeing you and talking at ACME. Brad

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Glad you enjoyed the video Brad and it was nice talking to you too!!!!!!

[@rickzinck9326]

You are an amazing man Mr. Brown. I don't know how you manage to get to all of these shows, make these great videos & find time to build models too. Keep up the great work buddy!

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

LoL 😂 I'm always thinking the same thing.. HOW does he do that 😎👍🇺🇸

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Your to kind Rick..... 🙂 Actually I really don't build in the summer (never have). Something I do in the summer, I'll take parts outside in the evening and sand mold lines. I like to get out and enjoy the summer so when winter comes I'm ready to just stay inside. That's when I get my building done! And after sanding mold lines all summer I can get quite a few done then. 😊

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I'll fill ya in on that next time I see you at ACME Jimmy!!!!! 🙂👍

[@jerequallio9052]

It looked like it was a great show ! Really like the Barry Setzer Vega ! Thanks for sharing the coverage, as always! 👍😎

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, that was a cool build, so glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂👍

[@martoni7273]

Wow, we went this year and it looks like we started at the wrong end of the place, I don't remember seeing half this many models by the time we got to the contest area. My son invited me to go to the show with him and his friends, so many cool model kits and it got me inspired to get going on some kits i had packed away.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It was a big show and I missed some things too.... Cool to read you are going to start on some kits that you've had for a while!!!!! It's a great hobby, if you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them. Have a good weekend!!

[@kevinwasson9266]

Great coverage again. You must have had a long day with that drive back home. 👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, it was pretty long Kevin, but a fun one!! 🙂

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Tim, that was a absolutely outstanding model show, it would have taken a long time yo go around the whole show, I particularly liked the tfu k section, and I realised I prefer the oldef style trucks, again not certain if I missedthem, but I did not see any emergency type vehicles, but such is life, best regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you for the kind words Les, so glad you enjoyed it. 👍 🙂

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Now that you mention it, I don't recall any Emergency vehicles at the show. I definitely would have shown them if they were there as I try really hard to show everything on the tables.

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

Are these contests by skill level😊

[@timemachinesscalemodels]

No. They have different classes for adults and they also have a juniors class. They are not segregated by skill level.

[@bmck-8400]

@@timemachinesscalemodels thanks… I’ll just keep my models at home.

[@raisingarrett]

All modelers and all skill levels are welcome. Its a great chance to meet other builders, show your models and see others. I always come away from a show full of new ideas.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

What Rob and Raisin said..... Bring some builds, heck, for me it's all about the camaraderie with the other model builders!!!!!

[@Offthbadan]

Next meet is Sunday March 24. A spring meet and fall every year.Always a good time.

Sounds good!!!!

Wow!!, so many great builds Tim, did they a total count of models?

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true Tom, I think it was 350

[@markporcile6404]

What kind of paints are being used the finishes are beautiful. I’m new to modeling. I’m currently using Tamiya paints

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Tamiya paints are great paints Mark!! Everyone has their favorites as there are soooo many out there to choose from.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

My personal choice is Tamiya then Testors One Coat Lacquer. Try several different ones and you will find what works best for you. When weathering I like Tamiya, AK and AMMO.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@markporcile6404 Any questions feel free to ask. What are you building or getting into Mark?

[@markporcile6404]

@@THROTTLEPOWER So currently at this time I am building a 66 Malibu SS. It’s a super fun build. I also have a 1990 mustang lx lined up next, then a 66 ford fairlane, 71 road runner. I do have one of my dream imports to build as well which is the Nissan skyline gtr 34 nismo z tune. I just love that in this hobby you can have the best of both import and domestic.

The car in the thumbnail has the rear wheel way to far back in the wheel well.
