Oh yeah, I like that! This is one of the latest kits I have purchased. Yours looks great!

She is looking good!!

Glad to hear everything is OK with him!

Great looking model. That is one fine paint job you laid down!

Beautiful model, Eric! Great job with the photography too. It makes it so much more enjoyable looking at a model that is properly photographed.

Wow!! That is just a beautiful model.

That is gorgeous! Great model and great photography!

What else can be said?? Fantastic!

Nice model of the famous #3. Thanks for sharing!

That is just gorgeous! Very well done, Bob!!

Outstanding work!!

I made the trip to the show yesterday and had a good time. Thanks to all of the club members who put it on. James, I took a good look at your son's models. He did a very nice job on them. A well deserved trophy! (Didn't he sweep the class?) I looked at the photos James posted and saw my JPS Lotus F1. It managed to take Judges Best of Show and People's Choice Best of Show. I was very happy to say the least. I look forward to next year!

That is a good looking model! Paint, wheels and stance look great.

NICE! Beautiful Cheetah, Ron.

This may not be an exact answer to your question, but I had the same problem with my 1:12 78 JPS Lotus. My problem was not so much a seam but a step on the front tires. By step I mean that one half of the time was slightly larger in circumference than the other side. Although it is only a fraction of a mm it would have been hard to get right. However, while getting reference pictures for my build I came across a very clear, head on, sitting still, picture of my car in the pits with new front tires. There was a definite, unmistakable line around both tires that looked like a seam to me. Knowing that I was going to show this car in different IPMS shows, I scanned that picture and printed it. I took it with me and displayed the picture with the model along with a high-lighted note that said "Please note seam on tires". (I have been burned before by IPMS judges specifically for tire seams). I won a gold medal at this show. My point is, I understand wanting to get rid of that seam. It is good, basic skill level modeling. But I have seen more than one picture of new tires with what sure does look like a seam down the middle.

I have a question that I hope someone from this club can answer. On the flyer it says that "a model may not win more than 2 awards". My question is this - if a model wins its class and wins best motor, it can't win best of show? or people's choice? (or any other combination). Am I misunderstanding something? Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Very nice, John. I admire your talent. I wish I had a fraction of it.

Wow!! That is gorgeous. I know this has already been said, but what a clean build. Great job!

Geez, I don't know what went wrong, I think it looks pretty darn good!

Thanks for the info., GTX6970. Myself and Gary Kulchock will be there. I think it will be worth checking out. I will look you up while I am there.

I may try to make it out to this one, Bill. Looks like a little over 4 hours to get there. It will be my first time attending.

I always thought that this was a cool looking car. My daughter and I built one back when they first came out. Yours came out great!

That is a good looking truck! I think it looks good in white.

That is a good looking Chevy!

I really like these, Ray. They are such neat little kits. You really did a nice job on all three of them!
