  1. Looks very nice. Great job integrating the resin nose!
  2. Very nice looking. You did a great job!
  3. Both of them look great!
  4. Both Scouts look gorgeous, Jeff. I am particularly keen on the blue one.
  5. Very cool! You did a great job executing all of the details.
  6. Great job Bruce!
  7. We have gotten several snows, but they don't stick around very long as the temps go above freezing afterwards. The problem is that with all of the freezing and melting, the roads are taking a beating. They were really, really bad to begin with and now they are much worse. The cars are taking a pounding. A lot of us look like drunks weaving around the roads to try and miss the potholes. Also not looking forward to the "Polar Vortex". Growing up we just had cold weather. Now it seems that the weather people have to name everything to make it all seem new and relevant to push their narrative of extreme weather.
  8. I read an article the other day that some Samsung smart TV owners are dealing with and it makes this seem rather insignificant. They are watching their show and then a CBS news app opens itself up automatically. Then the TV goes blank. The owner has to turn the TV on and off a number of times before the problem goes away. Samsung has known about this since September and has not fixed it. The worst part of it is that Samsung has a contractual agreement with CBS to put this app on the TV's and it cannot be deleted.
  9. Looks real good. Applying decals over a flat paint is a tall order.
  10. It does look pretty sharp. Some of his Dew cars have looked really cool as well.
  11. You did your due diligence, I wouldn't worry about it Kurt. I don't know how many different threads there are on Gravity Paints and they seem to keep multiplying like rabbits.
  12. Great job! I just bought a couple of Ebbro Tyrrell's from the early 70's. Looking forward to building a couple of race cars that Jackie Stewart drove.
  13. Looks great! That is my favorite model of the Impalas.

    Ferrari 412P

    That model is gorgeous! Thanks for posting pictures of it.
  15. Great job Wayne. The paint and decal work is really stellar!
  16. Looks very nice!
  17. Looks great!
  18. I really like this. I have one in the collection to make as a race car, but I may have to get another because yours is an outstanding representation of the car.
  19. That is a gorgeous build!
  20. You are correct Bill. I read an article on Mobeus ( before they were acquired by the new owners), but their business model was that the kit had to fill a need in the market place. But most importantly, they had to get 2 - 3 different versions of the kit from their molds to make it worthwhile for them. This is how they can produce the shorter runs because they will make multiple versions from the mold.
  21. Johnny, you are absolutely correct. The utopia of the greens is to have everybody live in the cities in high density apartment type buildings. The problem with their fantasy is that this type of living is not suited for families or people who just want some space.
  22. Thanks for providing the tip Steve. I have been thinking of trying this for a while now (I build primarily race cars and these don't require foil) when I build a street car. Your post confirms that this will work. Thanks again.
  23. Great job! The paint and decals look great.
  24. It wasn't Revell that caused the problem. It was Hobico. Revell was according to reports at the time doing quite well for them.
