Had a great time yesterday, just an incredible show of talent!! I didn't win anything, except in the raffles, but with the quality of work on the tables I didn't deserve to win!! Time to step up my quality! As always the contest was well run and very well judged. Great job by the Cactus Car Modelers.

Ray, I feel your pain, my 29 year old son has type 1 and we've spent more than our share of ER and ICU hospital time with him. Will say a prayer for your daughter and family.

I used Krylon on my last build, decanted a red and a blue and shot them through my badger airbrush. They both came out great without thinning, cleaned the airbrush up with lacquer thinner. I think what Chip was talking about was he used the "straw" that comes with WD-40 to attach to the spray can.

Looks really nice, that's a sharp looking car!!

John, that turned out amazing!! Hope to see it next weekend! By the way is that Colonel Sanders? Haha

That is a VERY cool looking model Ira, it's good to see those first gen anti-gravity generators put to good use!!

Good job, it came out really nice!!

That is a wild looking ride!! Great job on the car and all the detail work.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback!!

That is a crazy wild looking ride. The body and engine look fantastic, great job on the car!!

I'm going to try the pictures again!

Finished this about a month ago, it's the Revell of Germany Ferrari 458 Italia painted Testors gunmetal grey on the exterior and Tamiya leather on the interior. Used Crazy Modelers photo etch on the exterior and engine bay. The model is much cleaner than the photos show, unfortunately it's next to impossible to take photos outside here without the wind blowing! http://s1260.photobucket.com/user/majesticelectric/slideshow/Photobucket%20Desktop%20-%20Kathes%20MacBook%20Air

That sir is a work of art!! Fantastic job John!

Very nice looking Chevelle, you did a great job on it!

Generally not a fan of brown cars, but that is a really nice looking color!! Sweet looking engine and engine bay, great job.

Chris, thanks for the tail end picture, now I know how to finish off the parachute on a Snowman funny car I'm trying to finish!! That dragster is looking beautiful, great work as always.

I've seen your funny car builds at the DSC and probably the old Copper State, you really do nice work.

Mark you are one of several people on the forum who are able to make individual pieces models in and of themselves. That is some incredible scratch building!!

Amazing work John, that body and paint are fantastic looking!

Like you Aaron I have a few of these PL kits in my stash, but unlike you I haven't had the guts to try one yet! Your sweet build shows how nice they can turn out. Great job!!!

Looking really nice Chris, the front end looks a whole lot better!! Also, thanks to Jesse for the header tip, such a simple fix that makes a big difference.

Fantastic job on this build!! Did you strip all the chrome and use alclad? Everything looks very clean and well built.

John simply amazing work as usual!! Hey I have a question about your parachutes on previous builds: what do you make the attachment cords out of and where do you attach them on a funny car? Thanks John!

That is a fantastic looking car. Excellent job on engine details!!

WOW John that body is simply beautiful!! Great job, looking forward to seeing it in person next month.
