David G. Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Brian, I can't even imagine how difficult this loss must be for you and your family. I hope you can still find a way to have a joyful Thanksgiving along with some peace and comfort in the days ahead. BTW, of all the builds you posted, I like the Dino 206 GT best. David G.

Hi Brent and thank you very much. I was looking them over and thinking what to rebuild and even though I loved that little 356 dragster, man it was hard to squeeze the engine in it.

Lordmodelbuilder Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 So sad to see what has happened to your place & your belongings. Happy that you escaped the fire & are alive. My gf just lost her place & everything she had this past Saturday. Hers was an electrical fire. She was able to get out too! As bad as things look, you are alive & seem to be in good spirits. Your builtup models look great. Good that you had pics of them. Take care & Happy Thanksgiving. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Tuttle Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 All of your builds are very nicely done, you should be proud there. Very sorry for your loss, but at least material things can be replaced, people can't so good that you seems to be OK anyway. It's hard to imagine which hard times a lot of people must be going through right now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 959, rather 961 was not a bad kit and I kind of liked the molded in windows. The included masking worked superbly and I would recommend it. The tires and wheels were from Scale Production but I combined the tires and wheels as follows; 18"-19" slicks; SPR24002 18" Speedline Cup; SPRF24052 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I still have my lively hood. http://www.fishermodels.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My loss was pittance compared to others and as such feel a bit embarrassed about having brought it up now. But I felt compelled to post it for some reason.
