I wish I had been there! I vote NO on 'curbside judging'! I also notice a couple or more 'unfinished' builds w/o pipes, wires and other stuff. The burgundy one is clean as is the green one that I found elsewhere on the forum. Do you think the vote will be slanted since a lot of viewers know who built what? My vote goes to mine that is still not finished and sitting in the box on my living room floor! Like I say, I sure wish I had been there! Or did I say 'green with envy'! :ph34r:

Hey Gregg, I found your car but where are the others? I'm tryin' to figure out where to look now that I've logged on. By the way, sorry I missed you guys yesterday, the trike ran like a champ! Out to Yokohamas and back!!

I'm sure happy to have happened on to this thread! Very interesting discussion between two artists whose work I admire. I've got no idea how to do what you're talking about and I don't have enough desire, time, patience to learn, but I sure enjoy seeing the results of your effort! Thanks for sharing!

In general it's a price thing! Cheap,(maybe) vs. Collectors price,(mostly). Sometimes there is a very unique item that I'd be willing to pay for. But the "un-nameable" site has the lure of a cheap deal. For me there is a type of sport in the bid!

I'm a shop teacher in my "other life". I've suddenly got an urge to try shellac! I usually go with more modern spray finishes but I'm seriously impressed with your shellac tutorial! Thanks for an inspiration! Working with kids the safety issues surrounding any finish material is always a concern. With plastic, however, the line of modern Tamiya sprays is just too easy to work with. Their primers, flats and gloss finishes just totally make the paint portion of building a pleasure. I can't see ever using Model Master again. I just wish the hobby shops in Honolulu could do a better job of keeping the supply adequate to meet the demand.

Hey Gregg I didn't know you had the car I just bid on! I don't want to tell what it is cause somebody else will outbid me! How can we get the cheap deals if everybody knows where to look?
