Check out all the cool new kits and tools we’ll be reviewing on hpiguys Workshop.
See you at the bench!
A scale model is most generally a physical representation of an object that maintains accurate relationships between all important aspects of the model, although absolute values of the original properties need not be preserved. This enables it to demonstrate some behavior or property of the original object without examining the original object itself. The most familiar scale models represent the physical appearance of an object in miniature, but there are many other kinds.
Scale models are used in many fields including engineering, architecture, film making, military command, salesmanship, and hobby model building. While each field may use a scale model for a different purpose, all scale models are based on the same principles and must meet the same general requirements to be functional. The detail requirements vary depending on the needs of the modeler.
To be a true scale model, all relevant aspects must be accurately modeled, such as material properties, so the model’s interaction with the outside world is reliably related to the original object’s interaction with the real world.
Revell is a manufacturer of plastic scale models. The original American Revell merged with Monogram. In 2007, American Revell was purchased by Hobbico while the European Revell Germany separated from the American company in 2006 until Hobbico purchased it as well – bringing the two back together again under the same company umbrella. In 2017, Quantum Capital Partners took over operations of Revell after Hobbico declared bankruptcy.
Aluminum Model Toys, commonly abbreviated as AMT, was a Troy, Michigan-based company that manufactured various pre-assembled plastic promotional models starting in 1948, when attorney West Gallogly, Sr. started it as a side business. Later, a variety of kits became very popular. Most of the company’s vehicle products were American cars and trucks in 1:25 scale. In the 1970s, hot rods, customs, trucks and movie and TV vehicles were also produced.
Because Gallogly had solid connections with Ford Motor Company, he was able to place his first models exclusively in Ford dealerships, starting a long promotional relationship (Cawthon 2002). Gallogly’s first model was a 1947–1948 Ford Fordor sedan made of cast aluminum and painted with official Ford paint (Cawthon 2002). After issuing successful Ford sedan models, the company set up shop on Eight Mile Road outside Detroit (Chrysler 2008).

Another great video thanks
Blimey that's a lot of fantastic looking kits ,the metal engine kit looks excellent thanks for sharing all that brilliant
I so wish they would produce some pro street/drag kits. Not the tiny tired ones, but the bracket/ pro stock style cars. Us drag racing fans have been forgotten about.
Fanhome just started the collection of the Millennium Falcon in 1:1 "Studio" scale. No idea where I'm going to put it (roughly 2ft x 3ft when complete), but as a child of the 80's, there's no way i could let that pass by.
The team at MODEL CARS MAGAZINE reached out to HPIGUY immediately after his video was released, and working with HPIGUY we were able to determine that the person in question claimed to work for Model Cars Magazine, but in fact, does not. The team at MCM values our relationship with HPIGUY, and we have featured his channel multiple times in the magazine. We applaud and promote his channel's contribution to our hobby.
HPIGiys, the truck with the octipus on it. It is a random noodle food truck. Random noodles is a Japanese fast food meal. The Japanese put chicken, beef, fish, lobster, oysters, clams, mussels. This well help.
Is there a good code for modelroundup that you like to use?
About those Japanese trucks – your smartphone should be able to translate the texts on the boxes. Google has a Translator app that can translate things your camera sees. Apple should have something similar. First one was Takoyaki foodtruck – grilled octopus balls 😀
I wish they'd just stop re-issuing stuff and make something new, like the 71 Mustang. With the rise in popularity of 3D printable kits and I'm surprised they sell car kits anymore.
A lot of people say the model manufacturers won't think its profitable to make subjects like 70's Lincolns and Cadillacs and Polaras etc, but the increase of interest in the 3D printed stuff and their odd subjects tells a different story.
First time I've come across your videos. Do you know if anyone has ever made a 1979 Dodge Magnum GT. model? I've been looking for one since I bought my car in 1979 which I still have to this day with 63000 miles on it. Thanks!
Like so many other commenters – I built the Evil iron when I was a kid and am so glad it has been re-issued. I've got mine and will hopefully be starting it soon. Thanks Chris!
Chris, I ordered the Plastruct Bonding glue a few weeks back. I really like it.
Ich habe meine Garage voll von diesen Kids..aus den 60ern.
Nie gebaut..
Glad to see the Hillbilly truck back again, I plan on building the Hot Rod version, I built the Truck version the last time it was released 25 or so years ago.
I’ve got an original Switchers 25 T Rod that I haven’t built yet but haven’t out exactly how they go together either. Looking forward to seeing how you do the Deuce
Chris, Would love to see you do a build up of one of the Salvinos Modifieds. Great subject, fairly difficult build, but such a cool kit! PLEASE!!!
Is this a rumor I heard or I hope it's true is round two coming out with the Bj and the Bear truck again?
