The World Has Lost A True AMERICAN HERO...
Miatatom replied to modelmike's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's type of guy he was. Never wanted to be called a hero, didn't want the limelight. Being so humble made him an even bigger hero to me and a lot of other people. I watched him "touch down" with a college buddy. We had just graduated 2 months earlier. We both had goose bumps. Young kids grew up with the knowledge that we'd been to the moon and it wasn't a big deal. Folks in my age bracket (68) were totally in awe of the whole space program and the moon landings especially. -
The World Has Lost A True AMERICAN HERO...

I am so sad to hear this. I watched with fascination when he put that first foot down on the moon. You're right he was one of our greatest American heroes. -
Very good! What did you use for the snow?

Grand Prix the Killer Years
Miatatom replied to 935k3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've seen it. A really good look at 60s GP racing. The years leading up to 1980 are my favorite for F1 racing but man they were so deadly. -
Stunning! Love the color. Either the BMF work is perfect or you have the steadiest hand anywhere.
-
Great job! I need to send you my BRE Datsun 510 to do the two tone paint on it.
-
Nice job. It looks fast just sitting there.

1950 Chevy Pickup Texaco

Differences of opinion are just that, opinions, and like hind parts, everyone's got one and some stink. I like the way you did it. The BMF would be too shiny. The green looks fine to me. -
Beautiful work. I especially like the 11. A local friend was going to do a run of those in 1:1 and wanted to call them The Eastlake 11. East Lake is an area here in Chattanooga, TN. He built one that I know of. It was beautiful, but green of course. I like the yellow!

Execllent! Love that color.

Nice! Purple, my wifes' favorite.

I'm an award-winner now!
Miatatom replied to Patrick2005's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I don;t blame you, I'd be proud too. Beautiful build. -
I immediately said a long Oooooooooooooooooo. Stunningly beautiful. I love the clean simple lines.

I actually attended the 1963 Oakland roadster Show. I was in the US Navy and attending Radar School on Treasure Island, between San Fran and Oakland during that time. Bought a sweatshirt from Ed Roth with "Mother's Worry" on the front. He autographed it. I had a bunch of pictures but 50 years later, they're in a land fill somewhere with the sweatshirt. Can't attest to the accuracy of the diorama but it does seem familiar. I especially remember the red Merc. I think Roth's booth was on the left but then, it could just be my imagination.

Great work! They look like winners to me.

Love it, Bryan!
