Build every part as if it were a model in itself.

Your correct Tom. The quality of these models are something to be proud of. Guess this is my 14th year and out of those last 13 years, 11 are sitting in my display cases. I've only finished about 6 during the 24 hour build, but most of the others got finished the following week. Still working on 2. Even if you don't finish your build, this is a great way to get one started. Tom even gives us a special table at NNL East to display our builds every year. Please join us on that table this year.

Great looking build brother. Can't believe how fast it's coming together.

Thanks for all the photos Art. Top notch!

Great meeting you also buddy. Your modified orange and black Merc was sweet, but the red and white #16 was even better. Keep in touch. Hopefully we'll see you at some other show prior to GSL 2013. Later .... Gary

Gregg: It was fantastic seeing you and Kelly again. Anytime you need some snow, we will package up some of the West Virginia stuff and send it your way, or bring it your way. Take care of that back Gregg. As for everyone who didn't make GSL, I'm sorry for you. I've been hitting shows for the last 20 years and not a one was even close to the experience of being at GSL. You must come in 2013, trust me. The modelers I read about in the magazines, I've met. The models you only see in photos, I got to drool on. (sorry about that Randy, Greg, Vince, John T, ...... and many more). Meeting Tom Daniels and having him autograph my Rat Vega, .... priceless. Great talking with Don Emmons, a wealth of information and all around great guy. Dave Walker, a pleasure to finally meet you. ..... and so many more. Start saving your pennies and dimes now guys, and I'll see you all at GSL 2013. Gary

Thank you John. Your most impressive yourself. You floored me with airbrush skills. I just added 300 more photos to my GSL Fotki site. I got ahold of Chips card tonight and posted all of his. Enjoy.

Here you go guys. My link

Thanks ..... now to put it to good use!

Great show. Enjoy! http://public.fotki.com/gkulchock/all-my-modeling-rel/model-shows/nnl-east-2011-photos/

(LMAO) Well I can see her point, but ....... the time spent building with my buddies is just priceless to me. Do I care if I finish the model? No. Is it going to be my best work? No. Will I even take it to a show. Well maybe. But, I do get to hang with my best friends. Nuf said! Have fun guys.

Thanks for all the input guys. When I started this build 5 years ago, my motive was to get together with my buddies and do the one thing we never do together, and that's build models. Five years later, nothings changed. I enjoy watching how they do things and have picked up many tips over the years. Hopefully I've dished out a few tips also. This ibuild is better than any model show, NNL or swap meet I've ever attended. Get your friends together and try it. You'll get hooked. By the way, we also had to come up with a few rules along the way. One of our modelers, who we will just call John B. (LOL) decided to just wax the bare plastic and not paint the body. Year 2, we brought in the Brolin rule that states you must paint the body. I hope no one figures out who I'm referring to. Tune in, comment and enjoy our build. We love your feedback. Main site: http://public.fotki.com/gkulchock/ Later guys ......

I would love to have one if someone backs out of the deal. Just let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Gregg. See you in the spring.

Best "Editor's Corner" I've ever read Gregg. (Cough,cough) And yes, this still totally blows my mind and makes me smile every time I think about it. Thanks buddy! Take care now, and I sure hope the next news I hear about your health is positive.

I'm sitting at 2 also.

Gregg: Just wanted you to know I appreciate all you do in putting this magazine in our hands. If it's not here, “on scheduleâ€, so what. I know it's coming, and like so many other readers out there, we’ll all enjoy reading it from cover to cover when it does get here. Keep up the great work you do on this magazine, but please take care of yourself first buddy. Now let’s all go build something, and let Gregg recover.

Led's are cheap, quite easy to install, and do not put out a lot of heat, as long as you size the resistor properly. Simple wiring diagrams and resistor sizing charts, can be found on the internet. Mock up a test circuit before installing it in your model. Have fun.

All ready for the Toledo NNL and 5 days early at that. Check it out! It's Hell's Angels day at Kennywood Park and Blade is having himself a great time. He won his old lady a nice pink bear, got himself one of those huge Kennywood souvenir bottles, and is enjoying his cotton candy on the Bumper Cars. What could be better. See you all in Toledo!

Looks great Tim. I'm glad to see it finished in time for the show, and I have no regrets pushing you to get it finished. I wonder what you can get together for next years theme.......

Here are my photos from the Toronto show. I had a great time there. Thanks guys. http://public.fotki.com/gkulchock/all-my-modeling-rel/model-shows/toronto-group-25-2010/

Chip and I are making our way up from West Virginia again this year. Are the guys selling all the Hobby Design parts vending again this year? I hope so. See you next Sunday Howard.
