    Very nice Lambo, Bruce! She looks good in that color.

    I was there. Was fortunate enough to win two classes. As Tom said, it was cooold!! And that was inside the venue!

    Much like Dan said a few posts up above, I tend to listen to more mellow music. Good old rock n roll for just about everything else but when I’m at the bench it is a little more subdued. I had a small TV at on time, years ago, and found it too distracting so I got rid of it.

    Group C……love ‘em! A very nice pair you have shared with us. It looks to me that the ones in the display case are just as nice!

    I could be mistaken and I’m not quite sure but I think everyone likes your paint job! ??. She’s a beauty, Mario! Fantastic result.

    Thank you, Steve! I have a good number of their F3000 series kits. I haven’t built any of them yet but they look to be nice kits.

    Thank you! Not sure how the little F1 will do. My hopes for good results are hanging on two Tamiya kits I've done. The Spirit of America Porsche 956 and the Honda Takata Dome NSX, both have been posted here. It is interesting to see how the judges judge models.

    Thanks, Larry! Much appreciated, Dave. I have a good number of those Ebbro kits. They really look like great kits. The built up examples I have seen are great. This little Hasegawa kit is a good fitting kit but doesn’t have a lot of detail. A nice shelf model in my opinion. I am going to enter it in an IPMS show in the morning. We’ll see how it goes.

    Hey, James, she turned out very, very nice! You knocked it out quickly too. You have set the bar pretty doggone high. All of my parts are in primer and the body is in color. I hope mine will turn out half as nice as yours did! Congrats on a job well done!

    Oh man, DD, I completely forgot about the little brush on the other end of the handle...lol. Thanks for the reminder!
  11. Nacho Z
    I've got one. I brush my car bodies before I paint them. I also use it on my models right before I photograph them. I'm not sure how to describe it but it is a super light touch. It is not meant to get stuff out of panel lines or something like that. It will take light dust particles off of the surface. Can I say with 100% certainty that you will never get dust in your paint? Nope. Do I think it works for what it is intended for? Yup.

    Wow, thanks, Phil! I have this one, the Tamiya 1:20 and the Tamiya 1:12. My 1:12 is the Honda RA273. I more kits than I’ll ever be able to build but I would love to get these last two built. Thank you, Helmut! I have a feeling yours will be better!

    I take this as high praise coming from someone with your talent! I appreciate it! Thanks for the kind words, Hans! With a name like that, I’ll take it! I need to tackle one of my more modern F1 cars. I have always loved these old cigar cars.
  14. Nacho Z
    Thanks! Thanks, Tony, the black base and background are my attempt at being artsy-fartsy…lol. I have built a couple of the Hasegawa race cars and have really enjoyed them. I appreciate it, Gary!
  15. Nacho Z
    Thank you, Pierre! Thanks, Carl! Thank you!
  16. Nacho Z
    You are really going to town on this one! I’m still cleaning parts…lol. The rolling chassis is looking good too. Question about your model and I can’t tell from the pictures, do you have a big notch above the headlight on the passenger side fender? Not just a seam line but a big ‘ol step? Mine does.
  17. Nacho Z
    Thanks, David! I appreciate it, Bruce! That is the kit decal. Now for full disclosure…lol. There were too many compound curves for that poor little decal. I used setting solutions, heat and patience. In the end it tore a little bit and the very front edge is not perfectly smooth. I used Tamiya Pure Red in their lacquer line. It was just about a perfect match. I should have represented the open scoop but thought to myself, leave well enough alone.

    Thank you, John! It is fun learning about the models we build. We may not have quite the rich histories to learn about as do our military modeler friends but still some pretty cool stories to read about. Thank you, Jim!
  19. Nacho Z
    Wow, James, you are really knocking this one out! She is looking good so far. I’m looking forward to seeing more.
  20. Nacho Z
    Thank you, Steve. I have liked these cigar cars every since I was a boy. The Honda, Lotus, Eagle and others. I have a 1:12 MFH Eagle that I am dying to build but yet scared to start it. I can’t bear the thought of messing it up. Thanks, Steve! You are right about them being small. I measured this one from nose to rear, not counting the exhaust pipes, and I believe it was around 5 1/2”.
  21. Nacho Z
    No, Sir, I don’t. Over on FB I let my friends vote for the kit they wanted to see me build. They had 4 kits to choose from and the picked this one. Most of my updates will be over there so they can follow along.
  22. Nacho Z
    Thank, JC! I have no doubt that your example will turn out better than mine! I appreciate it, Dave.
  23. Nacho Z
    Hey, Bruce, thanks! Thank you, Rich! It was a fun little project. I enjoy these Hasegawa kits, pretty simple but look good sitting on the shelf.
  24. Nacho Z
    Hi, Bob, I have no idea if I still have the instructions or not. I will have to do some digging around for them which would be a weekend project. Although not 100% certain I am thinking they would be the same as the non-Metal Master kit, if that helps.
  25. Nacho Z
    This is too cool, James! I literally started this kit yesterday…lol. Everything I’ve read and watched, it appears to be a great kit. I will be following your build, I hope you post regular updates. Good luck with it!
