These guys are the type of modelers you just love to hang with, so humble and so into the passion of the hobby! True Master builders...with imagination to boot!

Awesome models! I'm 61 and have been building models since I was 10. I miss those hobby shops with walls of model kits. I would stand for an hour going over them all.

The Garlitz build is amazing. A real accomplishment in model building and painting. I have yet to see anything that even comes close.

I agree!

Creativity is Spades!!! Love hearing your dialogue... tons of great ideas!! It's all about the details!! Love the gravity testing.

I am fortunate to have seen some of Vince and Paul's work in person. I am always in awe, and learn some new trick too.

You guys mentioned everything I remember from great times during my childhood... NHRA racing at Englishtown, The Worlds Fair, Little Red Wagon, AFX, slot cars, and so much more! Especially Paul Drago. Oh- the Guillotine model. Muscle cars baby! Same here- if it wasn't a car model, particularly a hot rod, dragster or rod & custom show car, I wasn't interested! And wow- that Don Garlits WynnsJammer diorama! Vince's "Pure Heaven II"- what beautiful builds here...what fantastic detailing. I built a lot of car models in my day... always looked forward to going to a true quality level ... you guys are like champions to try to emulate!

What a great video! I would sit a the kitchen table with my mother and father and build models; that’s what got me started. And the slot car thing and the drags, that was our life what a great memory! Thanks. I still build but I’m not as good as you guys. It’s fun. Thanks again.

Paul Drago's work here is absolutely amazing. While the subject matter is not my usual cup of tea the attention to detail is something I aspire to replicate one day myself. Awesome work to him and MCM; Im really enjoying this channel.

Vince is an incredible talent, not to mention a great guy!

Really nice video. And I appreciate the lack of extraneous jerky edits during the dialog as had been present in previous videos. There were a few at first, and I almost turned it off, but I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did, as the edits went away and the conversations were much more enjoyable in their natural flow. Thanks for posting, I look forward to seeing more.

Awesome video again, I could listen to these two masters all day. Paul was killing me with the, "it was easy" as he talked about the first build.

That was fantastic. Thank you Doug, Paul and Vince.

Terrific video of two great modelers. This shows us how the best go the extra mile with small details to add that extra realism to their builds. And thanks for the dedication to Jim Devine. He was a great guy and a fantastic modeler.

Stunning work, very inspirational. That pinstriping is incredible.

Absolutely gorgeous cars and outstanding work ! I learn something new evertime I talk to or hear another modeler talk ! 🍻

I remember seeing that backup wheelstander run at one of our “local” dragstrips back in the day ( early 70’s?) . I remember there being a few different wheelstanders that day and night actually, including the Little Red Wagon, along with several several others which I can’t remember which ones now, but I remember the original backup and little red wagon. I’ve seen Wild Willie Borsch run that outlaw or whatever he called it, but he ran against my Uncles buddies, the Feltner Bros.., oh they had something similar to Wild Willie Borsch’s car there.

I have been enjoying these videos. thanks for making them.

Awesome builds. I'm currently working on the "Pure Hell" Bantam. I found some slixx decals on ebay. I used a Wild Willie kit. I'm down to picking up the paint. These videos keep me motivated.

This was a n amazing conversation.

That Garlits diorama is the best model I have ever seen. Doug, did I meet you in Manhattan at your apartment once in the 1980s? I think so. I liked models even back then.

If this doesn't take Best in Show... Something's wrong. Brilliant effin work.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm like these guys age 30 built first model when I was 7 with my dad we built the munsters koach. It was a original Munsters koach kit to back when we built it. My dad and his older brother grew up very poor but they built hundreds of amazing models as kids and teens and won tons of shows local and nationaly and slot cars as well. I also grew up driving real fast circle track asphalt cars because my mom started racing and then I started racing when I was eight in a full size car 8 years old and a four-cylinder mustang that turned 9500 RPMs around the track

Hi John, good to hear from you! Glad you like them.

Very good and way above anything I could do but not a Plasmo

Great video. A couple of fantastic builders featured. Just one question. What did they say they use for windows. I can't seem to catch what's being said. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Glad you liked it! The plastic is PET-G, also known as PETG, or polyethylene terephthalate glycol. It's super clear, flexible, forms well and is strong.

Wow!

TO COOL MAN WOULD LOVE TO BE THERE.

Like the Wynns Jammer/ Garlits diorama. How hard was it to get a color copy of Mr. Garlits in 1:25 scale ? Thanks in advance.

@pauldrago6008

Thanks for the comments Gordon. The photos used for reference were published in HOT ROD magazine in 1964. Somewhere on the internet there was a COLOR photo of the same shot. I made a copy of that photo, separated Mr. Garlits, and made "clones" of Don, in many sizes, until ultimately the scale looked correct. That photo is the only part of the model that is not 3-D. With today's technology I'm sure I can get a 3D printed replica of Don, but fact is I don't think I can paint it as accurate! I will have to ask my military modeling friends to help out with the painting. now THERE'S an amazing skill all on its own. Thanks, Paul

Nice builds! Unfortunately as is around here, no young people building.

Great job on the Garlits dio but the watch parts don't quite fit for the look!

Why do the tires in old kits always end up marking the windshields? A mystery never to be solved.

@pauldrago6008

Hi David: from what I understand , model tires ( mostly now made of a vinyl or polypropylene) tires are made of several compounds and chemicals known as plasticizers are added to keep it flexible and soft. Plasticizers are notorious for being unstable and under long term storage situations can migrate out of the rubber or vinyl. The marking on the clear plastic is evidence of such chemical migration. Vinyl is notorious for having that unwanted quality. Ive had quite a few kits nearly ruined, so if you plan on storing any kits for a long time, best to keep tires and any vinyl / rubber parts in a seperate plastic bag. Thanks. Paul
