[Name That Tune....]

You say you've seen seven wonders,

and your bird is green,

but you can't see me, you can't see me...........

And Your Bird Can Sing by a little known band out of Liverpool....

[Ferrari 340/375MM - '54 Carrera Panamericana]

Beautiful, just beautiful! 

[Giving up the hobby, again.]

Maybe you will, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll find some new women! It sounds more like you need a break than it is a money or space issue. I just found this hobby so I don't see your point of view. But I think I'm pretty certain people will be here if and when you return.

Great job! It all looks nice.

[Chevy Biscayne 1964 NYC taxi]

I've loved NYC taxis since I was a little kid, riding in them whenever we went to the city. This is another great version and an excellent job at that. Nice!!!

[When the cows come home]

Very nice. You have some good detail and weathering. I like it a lot.

[Sad Sad Sad News: Our Harry Passed Away]

So many appropriate and touching comments.

I've read many of his posts in going through lots of old threads here. He was very knowledgeable when it came to this hobby. No doubt he'll be missed throughout the field.

I had the idea the other day to send him my copy of his book for him to sign for me hoping maybe it might cheer him up. The next day I saw the news that he had been moved to hospice. A real heartbreak.

I hope his next stop is one of comfort and beauty. 

[the same old question: which paint stripper to use?]

DOT3 brake fluid really works well but it's really messy to work with and the model has to be cleaned really well afterwards any spot left over causes a problem. I've been using 90% Isopropyl alcohol and have some really good results with it.

[Hemicuda!]

Wow so very clean! Beautiful job. And I have to ask what color is that?

[Fixing a Paint Chip]

Seeing as how the paint chip is minuscule, I would touch it up with a brush and when dry I would use 8,000 & 12,000 grit polishing cloths to level it out with the rest of the paint. Or you could even touch it up with a paint pen also. If the damage is that small, I wouldn't  put too much effort into repairs, as I have plenty of other projects I could be building.

I need adopt this way of thinking. I have 6 models that are 3/4s of the way done except for very minor flaws in the paint that I feel I can't live with but nobody would probably notice. I'd probably be learning much more by moving on. 

[67 Vette Street Freak/Gasser]

I'm digging the color! Very nice build showing some very competent skills my friend.

[Harry - our friend's struggle]

I've been keeping Harry in my thoughts since I found out about this bad news. This is a real kick in the stomach. 

I remember a post Harry made with a video by Little Big Town - When I Die I Don't Want to be Sober. I hope someone honors that request. I'm toasting him with a big glass of Jack Daniels now. With all the Irish blessings Harry...Here's to you...

[My first model in 50 years]

To be brutally honest...it looks pretty darn good! A couple details here and there but you're well on your way. Nice job!

[1983 Hurst Oldsmobile Cutlass - Update]

Very cool!

[Name That Tune....]

In honor of the tickets I just purchased:

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it

[Name That Tune....]

Can't think of the title but I hear Neil Young's voice singing it. Am I in the ballpark?

Right on the artist, it's Neil's "After the Gold Rush". Amazing song, amazing album.

[Jaguar E-type, red (Gunze/Sangyo)]

I love these cars and you did a superior job on it. Well done indeed!

['70 Cuda]

It's hard to build one of these and not spray it with Plum Crazy paint, I did.  Very nice all the way around!

[68 Nova Modified]

I think you switched years with your GTO you posted, this is the '68 not '66. Both are very cool though.

[Tenn. State Trooper VW (Litter Bug)]

Interesting and different build. I like it.

[Revell 1969 Camaro Z/28 RS]

Very solid build all the way around. Nice job!

[1965 Plymouth Belvedere I]

Front end looks clean and mean! Very nice.

[Terminal tractor]

Very different and interesting build. Really cool and a nice job.

[Chevy Blazer work truck]

Exterior is too clean, it could use some weathering to really give it that work truck look. The interior weathering is excellent. I love the details, very nice touch.

[1970 Hemi Cuda]

Solid!
