  1. Nice work, Bud....The engine looks awesome.....
  2. Too cool....Not sure why I didn't buy a few of these when they were out.....This is a pretty good build....
  3. Awesome job on this baby and EXCELLENT color choice !!!! One of the cleanest models of these I've seen.....Very nice..... I love these things....Like potato chips....You can't build just one.....Excellent decal work....
  4. So cool....I love these as police vehicles.....Great job on this model.....So cool.....
  5. To be honest, I started collecting die cast models because plastic unassembled model prices had become a little steep.....I don't have to worry about quality issues as I mostly take them out of the box and display them in store bought acrylic/plastic cases...Totally not interested in how much the model "could" be worth in the future as I buy them for ME to enjoy like others, but they can be seen and enjoyed much better that way; and the rubber bands and such don't have a chance to mar the finishes....I still build plastics, but mostly big rigs and the like....I already know I can build a car model out the box relatively easily, and I have enough in my stash to keep me building for the rest of my natural life.....So....Nothing really to "prove", if you will.....I'm having more fun collection die casts than I did when I was 8 years old....The 1/18th scalers are just bigger, and I, for one, am a big fan.......I "play" with them from time to time, too.....That's where the cheap Maistos come into play......I've gotten quite a few from HEB grocery stores and Sam's club for next to nothing in 1/18th die cast terms.....Around $14 each.....VERY reasonable......Making it all the more fun.....
  6. Beautiful.....Just beautiful......That looks so good....Very well done.....
  7. Definitely a Beast.....Excellent work.....I really like the slicks, and the engine is done very well..... I love these die cast cars.....I started collecting only about a year ago and have been having a BLAST ever since.....When un-assembled model prices got to the point where I just couldn't stand it, any more, I noticed that Maisto, Newray, and other companies are putting out complete assembled and painted models for, literally, HALF, the price; I jumped ship and got "involved"......One of the best things I ever did.....I've got quite the sizable collection, now.....And the "funnest" thing to do is redo them and make them up into whatever I want.....Awesome.....
  8. Nice work....Looks pretty cool...
  9. Excellent work, Man.....I like this one, too.....
  10. This is great....What an awesome looking truck, Man......I'm digging it, for sure......Totally getting some ideas for some of my die cast duallies.....
  11. Both of these are awesome, but I think my favorite is the red Mack.....The KW is cool, too, though.....I love these Newray offerings.....You can't get it in 1/24 or 1/25 scale, so they make great sense....Not as much of a fan of their trailers, but even those can be converted into good looking models......These are awesome.....
  12. Wow !!! Now, this one is awesome......Very well done, Buddy....That is just, too cool.....I love the weathering on this thing....Man, that looks good.....You've got my attention......
  13. Again....A very nice piece of work....Great idea.....
  14. This is a cool one....I keep forgetting there is a place for die cast stuff, here.....I do quite a few conversions using die cast models as a starting point.....I like this old setup.....Amazing how much fun you can have with a die cast model.....Outstanding....
  15. This bad boy is going to be a beast.....Very nice work....
  16. How do I keep missing this stuff?? This is awesome, Man.....That is going to look GOOD !!!!!
  17. Another fine piece of work, Bud.....These little models are really nice when built up by a seasoned modeler like you, Man.....You've got these things looking pretty awesome.....
  18. Now, that's a cool looking truck....Great job on it.....Totally unfamiliar with this one, as well, but there a lot of Euro rigs I've not seen before......Nice work, though....
  19. This is good stuff, Man.....Very nice work....I like this one quite a bit.....Gives me an idea for another project.....
  20. That is some excellent detail in any scale.....Wow....1/43, huh.....That is amazing....Absolutely amazing......You can't tell what's plastic and what's metal.....This is very good, Man....
  21. Ahhhhh.....You just might be right....I think as soon as I get my "Papa Truck" done....I will.....
  22. Hey, Gator....Thanks, Man.....I'm glad you got them.....I was wondering if you had gotten them......
  23. Looking good, Man....That's a good idea to add the differential to that axle.....It does add a little "something" to it....Cool.....
  24. Now, this could be what I'm looking for to haul on my TM Papa Truck.....Hmmmmmm!!!!! Gives me an idea, for sure.....
