Recommended Posts

Seeing as this part of the forum is near or at the bottom of the list on Topics, I sometimes forget to stop by.  My loss.  Great googily moogily man, the last pics and detailed you shared John are awesome.  10 minutes and a cup of coffee and I'll be done checking out all the cool stuff you've done again.  You're nearing the finish line aren't you?   cheers, tim

Is it fair to ask John,  of the models you've built, that you have a favorite or 2?   Surely this one would be high on the list.  Still loving that paint and the shot of all 4 tires from the back is a giggle all itself.  cheers
