Double Zero One (2001) MEETING SCHEDULE









Volume 14, No. 7, April, 2001
by: "GTO"
(The Maryland Automotive Modelers Association is a chapter of the IPMS )


Well gang, the March meeting had about 61 members in attendance. I think the big topic of conversation was the recently
held NNL East extravaganza. Everyone seemed to be comparing their photos, experiences, and especially purchases of
supplies, or even upcoming projects! Congrats to MAMAs Boy Bill Geary. He did it again, winning an award at the show for
his incredible Charger Daytona. Congrats, Bill! And if the peek at his next project, a 58 Impala convertible is any
indication, Bill is intent on raising the bar (somewhat substantially!) with operable windows! Bill, you are truly a madman!!
Hope I dont sound like a broken record, but dont forget the Big Car Challenge thrown out by Ron Land Yacht
Hamilton. So, drag out all those 'land yachts' - Impalas, Caprices, Bonnevilles, Grand Prixs, Eighty Eights and Ninety Eights,
Imperials, New Yorkers, and on and on. His challenge has been posted on the Hobby Heaven message board and is quite
simple. Merely build a 'Big Car' (wide-open interpretation with regard to stock, racing, etc. The key factor is to start out with
a big car!). Then, simply bring your completed masterpiece to our NNL in May, where we will attempt to make display space
available. There was some discussion of some sort of award for the lucky winner. No word on how the winner would be
determined, though. We'll let you know when more info becomes available. In the meantime, what're you waitin' for? Get
started! Check out our event online at the Hemmings website,

Sneakin a Peek!

This column appears as frequently (or infrequently!) as new releases from the manufacturers. The idea behind it is to give
a thumbnail review of the releases as they hit the shelves with a more detailed review to follow at a later date (hopefully!).
Well see how it goes! How about this, gang? To better identify possible kit reviews, at the end of the item on the kit, the
words Available or Not Available will appear. Obviously, a club member may reserve any kit that is available with a simple
call to the Editor. Conversely, a kit which is Not Available was either already reserved by someone, or was something new
inserted by yours truly, and paid for with my hard-earned moolah! (Ed. Note: The kits are listed in no particular order):

q
2001 Corvette Z06 (Revell #85-2588) Molded in white.reissue of earlier hardtop with minimal changes.newly-tooled
Z06 wheels (in chrome, so theyll need to be stripped).body correctly features screening in grille area, and screened-in
vents at rear wheels for brake cooling, Z06 emblems on front fendersinterior-wise, Z06 emblem is featured on
headrests.decals include Z06 emblems for both the front fenders and headrests, red inserts for the seats, dash, and
door panels, a Z06 plate, along with a FIVE 15 IL plate, a few underhood markings, wheel centers, and crossed flag
logos for the front and rear bumpers. (Not Available).
q
Corvette C5-R LeMans 2000 racer (Revell #85-2354): Molded in white.reissue of earlier Goodwrench Corvette
(WITHOUT the nice tires or glass), sadly, making it inaccurate for this application (compare the box art with the box
contents).packaging was scary, with everything banded together, and the decals wrapped at the bottom of it all, causing
them to wrinkle (they did have a piece of paper to protect them from being scratched).Keep yer eyes peeled for a
corrected body for this kit, which will include a lift-off hood, to show off that honkin V-8 engine! (Not Available).

[Note to all concerned: It has been brought to my attention of late that there is a potential problem with regard to the review
articles published in this newsletter. Let me give you a little background on this subject. The model manufacturers
(AMT/ERTL, Revell-Monogram, and Lindberg) all attempt to send our club current releases in exchange for our critiques on
what we liked and didnt like about them. That means that we need to get written reviews published in the newsletter in a
reasonable time frame to accomplish this. If you will recall, I have stood up at recent club meetings to enlist the aid of the
members in attendance to get kit reviews. At present, Ron Hamilton has done more than his fair share of reviews. In the past,
Lyle Willits also did his share of reviews, as well as yer Fearless Editor. If anyone wishes to see reviews written by someone
else (or take a crack at it him or herself), they need to contact me, in order to determine which kits are available for review. I
dont have the time to chase anyone down and browbeat him or her for a review. Rest assured though, if you take a review
sample, I will be your worst nightmare if I dont get a review within a reasonable time
(right, Leonard?). You may also rest assured that if you take a kit for a review, and do
not return a review of it within a reasonable time, that you will not receive another!]

Tribute to a Legend Ed Big Daddy Roth
Hipster Big Daddy Roth a mighty man

"Whosoever wouldst be a man must be a non-conformist." This being true, Ed "Big
Daddy" Roth was a mighty man indeed. This elder statesman of all that's baroque
modern, this Picasso of low-brow art, this king of custom culture and the T-shirt
recently passed from this life, but he leaves behind millions of followers and kindred
souls in "all great things American." Give Archimedes a lever and a place to stand, and
he'll move the earth. Give Big Daddy Roth some fiberg
