  1. Its a shame the wonderful exhaust system is hidden below the car. Give him a mirror to go with it.
  2. Dave, thanks for taking the time to shoot and post all the pics. I browsed through them earlier today. By any chance do you have a picture of the car in the background of this pic?
  3. Members... Or sets of wheels in his collection.
  4. You live the life Mark. Looks great.
  5. I have built more of the body using resin, styrene, and evercoat. I first started by building a styrene frame, then proceeded to fill it with resin and sand it into shape. Note the styrene profile cuves on the 1/4 panel. The door jambs are no near the finished product. What is shown is the exterior visible door line, not the jambs. Those will be build at a later date. Currently I am beginning to shape the other 1/4 panel. I will step to building the rest of the rear shortly followed by the front of the "cab".
  6. Those outdoor pics look great Rags. I hope to see this one in Atlanta in November.
  7. Dunnunnunuh Dunnunnunuh Duh I am gasoline, and matches Dunnunnunuh I turn everything, to ashes Dunnunnunuh Dunnunnunuh Duh :wink:
  8. This weekend I forgot my safety glasses at school, so I was unable to do any machining this weekend. Dont ever run a lathe without safety glasses. Instead, I started the frame work for the body. At this point Im not really sure if I am building a buck for vac-u-forming, or if I'm building the actual piece. We'll have to see. Sorry for the pixelated photo. I forgot to turn down the resolution from taking close up pics.
  9. This looks like a familiar face. Welcome aboard!
  10. Actually yes. I feel stupid. :oops:
  11. Kind of ironic since you username is Wildrice.
  12. What kind of cars are you looking to find kits for?
  13. Hell yeah, I like that. I'm in if I can find a trike.
  14. Whats the deadline? Im definitely in if I can find a trike, and the deadline is reasonable.
  15. That is really cool! I love the fat meats in the rear.
  16. My problem is I've never built a model. :oops: So I dont have anything to even think about tearing down.
  17. Really cool idea. I wish I had a model to tear down and rebuild.
  18. That Mustang is goregous. The first thought that came to mind is probably inappropriate for this board.
  19. Heres the dungeon, still a work in progress.
  20. I have been working on the rear suspension assembly. I first machined the rear axel out of brass, and resin. I then proceeded to the hardware for it. After machining a dozen bolts I started going nuts. A dozen bolts and nuts total machined on the lathe (with hex heads). Note, one of those pieces is a blank that accidently fell into the shot. The rest are the actual nuts and bolts for the rear suspension. Compared to a penny for size. Thanks.
  21. :shock: He said the 'F' word. ...I build models, I never said I finish them.
  22. He does build models! Looks great Gregg, cant wait to see more.
  23. Some of those are rather interesting. I'd love to see the second one finished!
  24. I wasnt sure if I was looking at a real interior, or the model in that second pic. Great work!
