Skip-O-Matic's Model Mania
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 ก.ค. 2020
Skip-O-Matic's Model Mania is about sharing my model builds, my model build how- to tips and techniques I have learned, and share some of my ideas that may help inspire another persons' ideas.
There will be out of box builds, kit bashing, some scratch building, some mold making and resin casting, and 3D printing.
I also plan to do kit reviews and build reviews from my 900 plus kit collection. I have an eclectic collection of kits that include cars, trucks, planes, ships, science fiction, space ships, figures, monsters, buildings and more.
I also have an interest in dioramas and hope to add a few of those to show also.

Kodiak 10K Axle Disc Brake Conversion
มุมมอง 158หลายเดือนก่อน
We did an electric drum brake to hydraulic disc brake conversion by Kodiak/Dexter for 10k pound Dexter axles (after 2013) on one of our trailers. Our hope is to improve braking and reduce maintenance and maintenance costs. Our trailers are on the road daily. Hope to do a follow up in the future to report how this works out over time.

A nice pile of Christmas cards, Skip 👍 Thanks for the shoutout 😎 Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Great Christmas cards Skip, Merry Christmas buddy
Some amazing kits at absolutely amazing prices Skip very cool. 👍👍
Thanks Craig.
*Very cool video Skip~I really like it~This reminds me of the trailers I worked on when I worked at M&P Truck and Trailer Sales for almost 10 years~I made a lot of wild Truck Conversions there to match horse trailers I painted to match the trucks~Seems like throuhout the 90's there was lots more disposable cash available to do more extravagant builds for customers*
Yeah horse people are kind of another breed. We build barns for some of them and they want some crazy stuff sometimes. They're usually the hardest customers to please as well.
It’s always good getting cheap kits no tax and no shipping!
New subscriber...I'm watching this video to learn about the model for a future build. Great video and informative. THANKS
Thanks for the sub. Glad the vid was useful for you.
bob is a great builder. I have been in some of his lives. We all need more 💩🤣Dragsters are cool. 😎 The 34 is nice as well as the 29. Nice stickers. I'm glad that you are feeling better. Doing nothing is better than working.👍
Nice stash adds. Eckerds I have not heard that name in a long time
Yeah, I think it was in the nineties when I seen the last one.
Should be a nice upgrade Skip, 😎👍
Thanks Tom. Hoping it works to our expectations, I guess we'll find out soon.
Great share, awesome works 👍👍👍
Thank you friend.
Very cool video, never seen conversion kit for dexter axles, learn something new everyday.
Thanks Harvey. Yes there is always something new to learn.🤠
Awesome work!...man those old drums would be cool to make some tool stands out of...waste not want not....
Thanks John. They would be good for tool stand bases. I think they weigh 60+ pounds each. We usually throw them in our steel scrap dumpster or let employees have them if they have a use.
Great stuff you picked up Skip, look forward to seeing you build them.😊
Thanks David. Am I supposed to build them too?🤠
Really cool models. 👍
Thanks. Will be even cooler if I actually get around to building them.🤠
Nice stash adds Skip. I picked up a Moebius LoneStar big rig at a show in Canada this past weekend, so might grabs those Super Singles for that build. Glad your health is better. Liked and subbed.
Thanks Tim. That Lone Star is a nice kit. Thanks for the sub.
Was great to see you again Skip, great time as always, I see you found some goodies too, I used to get models at Eckerds too, take care buddy, Tom
Thanks Tom. Always a great time when we get together. Yeah Eckerds was always a great place to score a kit, had a couple local mom/pop drug stores as well.
You picked up some cool stuff Skip and it was good to see you again over the weekend!
Thanks Tim. Was great getting to see you too.
Nice adds. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Thanks Steve. Yeah I'm doing pretty good now, almost back to 100%.
Skip awesome update cool kits cool stickers
Thanks Jamie.
It was nice to see you at ACME Skip!!
Good to see you too Matt. Hope you sold lots of those "parts from a bottle" at your table. 🤠
Nice stash adds,glad you had a safe trip home.
Thank you Harvey. Hope your trip home was as good.
Skip nice to see you again and I bought many of my childhood models at the drugstore lol and great adds ❤😊
Thanks Shawn. Kind of miss those drug store days, thankfully we do have the internet now, which may be worse for our wallets though.
@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774 it sure is skip lol 😆 😂 😅
Some really cool stuff!!!
Thank you Terry.
Skip 👍😃Great to see you back and glad you've got your health sorted👍😀. Nice detail parts and neat kits.👍😎Really like 34 coupe but you're right about the headlamps,I think it may have split tyres too😟. Anyway easy fix👍😃. Best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Thanks Pete. I think you're right about the split tires and yes that is easily remedied.I'm feeling almost 100% again, so I hope to be getting back into things.🤠Keep keeping it jolly over there and best wishes from the rebel colonies ✌🙂
Awesome adds and shop card!.. 😎🇺🇸
Thank you John.
I love those fan caps. Great tip.
Yeah, they work great for spraying car bodies.
Looking good,thanks for the tip on spreading interiors
You're welcome Harvey and thanks.
Good job buddy.
Thanks Harvey.
That looks like a cool build.
Thanks. Another one I still need to finish.
Nice to have meet you this past weekend,I also am doing this kit.
Was a pleasure meeting you too Harvey. I still need to finish this build. Pretty much just need to finish painting the body and build some exhaust.
I have the 77 kit and it does have a V8 and a V6
Cool! Glad to know that. Thanks.
@@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774I recently did a bunch of research on theses kits, that extra spoiler I think it's from the cobra kit, on this release they did a terrible job on the rear wheel wells they don't even match the other side, I have a old built up of the regional fire fighter and there's a lot difference in-between the two bodies and the turn signals, and have a old Dino Don built up and it's actually a 75, 75 the turn signals, hood, and the gas cap is above the body line, and the emblems are different, the rear wheel wells are a lot nicer on those. you are right about two different kits for the pro stock & street version. The 77 annual kit I have, the trim and emblems are different. I think both kits have the traction bars, the trim on the latest release of fire fighter is more like what the 77 has, they retool the hood back to a 74 but but the gas cap, trim, and turn signals, if you are interested I can send some pics
@@brianlewis6926 Thanks Brian. Yeah the grumpy's Toy Vega had similar issues that some were retooled and fixed for the new re-issue, like the rear wheel openings. If we're lucky maybe if they re-issue the Firefighter they will do the same.
@@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774 that would be nice. I heard round 2 is going to re release the AMT mustang 2 some time soon
@@brianlewis6926 Yup! I seen it on they're latest video of new releases just the other day.🤠
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe . 🤗🤗👍👍🏃♀️🏃♀️
Congratulations on all of the hardware Skip! 🎉🎊🍻 Your small scale build is coming along nicely. 😎👍
Thank you.I just need to finish it now.
Cool update mate👍
Thanks Paul.
Congratulations on the hardware. Nice work on the radiator too!👍
Thanks Will.

Thanks Dutch. Yes very kool of Old Tom.
Great update ,Skip👍nice awards and great kit from Tom 👍😎thatll help you out.🤞😉. Best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Thanks Pete. Now I have two Snake dragsters so I can use one for the wedge restoration and one to still go with the Mongoose dragster. Stay jolly buddy.
@@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774 I look forward to the next gripping episode of Skip'n'Earl, take on the world👍😉
@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 🤣👍🤠
Had a blast Skip, Big Congrats on the hardware 🎉, nice work on the radiator, 😎👍
Me too. Thanks Tom. I probably spent way too much time on that radiator, but I have a talent for finding time consuming distractions.
Congratulations on the hardware Skip!!! The builds look great I love the C7 American flag livery. Adding engine to the curb side kits is fun especially in a small scale build, the payoff is worth it. Great to see you at the bench.
Thanks Cliff. I have been wanting to add an engine to a small scale build so we'll see how this turns out.
@@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774 Well I know Miguel can help he has files he can scale for small scale engines. I put one of his 632 BBC with a Whipple SC in the Atlantis 69 Nova kit, it come out great.
He shoot's, He score's!!🎉🥈🎊
Thanks Charles.
Skip congratulations on the hardware and nice update on the 32 ❤😊
Thanks Shawn.
I wish I could see more of those old candy colors and metallic colors I used to see from the 70s and 60s. They were pretty nice. Good eye because this turned out awesome. These Lindberg kits are for experienced modellers in my opinion since they require good or even advanced finishing and painting skills to make em pop. Good job!
Thank you friend. Would be nice if they brought back some of those colors, I guess for now will have to use automotive paints with the airbrush to get those colors again. The old Lindberg kits do require extra love and attention to make a decent build.
