  1. Thanks for the interest guys , as soon as Jeff told me about the decals I was like ‘game on’ . So we’ve been texting back and forth relentlessly comparing ideas and over all colors, wheels and what not. It’s a welcome distraction, and thanks for following along. I am making good progress....
  2. I hope I have enough blue paint left for the engine....
  3. Thanks, Jeff has been thrashing away as well. I’ve got the white on the trailer, should be able to do the aluminum color tomorrow, have got the suspension painted and the wheels in color. Using Double Take Replicas 2 hole wheels and hubs.
  4. And glue has been flying....
  5. And so it begins......
  6. Lol, neither one of us had a brinks kit? and ya, walking out of work Friday was kind of surreal...
  7. Haha, yeah, the squirrels were quarantined at Jeff’s and my place? I’ll be starting on mine in the next day or so, as I’ve been put out of work due to the virus for who knows how long, so this build shouldn’t take long.......
  8. Lot of possibilities with this kit...
  9. well, at the end of the day tomorrow, i'm out of work for atleast 3 weeks as well. I work for a chevy dealership as a wrench, we are deemed non essential, and with NY's 25% work staff on sight decree today, that forced us to wrap things up and shut down. so, looks like I will be getting some extra bench time as well.
  10. I do like that a lot !
  11. I dunno, we have three ‘local’ shows around me , they always draw a big crowd of vendors and contest entries, and then you go to NNL East and it’s 10 times the local draw. Dead/dying hobby? I think not, in a lot of ways, I think it’s flourishing, lots of great aftermarket products, lots of new subject matter, and places like this and face book are getting like minded people together. And let’s face it, there are also a lot of people out there that build, but don’t go to shows or partake of online forums and face book. It’s alive and kicking......
  12. Nice score! I’ve been lucky enough to get two of them in the past couple of years for cheap as well.
  13. You’re gonna want to make this, trust me.....
  14. Great colors, looks fantastic !
  15. Wrap your a** in fiberglass ! love it!
  16. Now that is funny, I don’t care who ya are, hahaha.....
  17. Very nice! Might as well plan ahead for another section , these things tend to get out of hand faster than we think...
  18. David, I will start experimenting more with the camera line of sight, and maybe some lighting somehow.... I’ve got a few of the shop help painted up...
  19. Ya, I’m a hermit myself in the fall/winter , only thing other than work that gets me out of the house is model shows and trips to the lhs/ hobby lobby to get supplies . Summer time gets me on the golf course...
  20. Yes, it does really transform the project. I wish I possessed your photography skills, because seeing it ‘live’ is a totally different experience. The pics of your diorama really bring yours to life, you capture the depth and feel of the whole piece.
  21. Thanks David. I had to load it up with vehicles to see how it was looking, got some people built that need painting yet, but wanted to put them around the place to get a feel, so far, I like it?
  22. The prices on these kits is staggering .....so glad I got them for normal retail when I got them.....
  23. It would be interesting to see what ‘old cars’ are popular 50 years from now , but that would make me 100, so I probably won’t know the answer.
  24. Total bummer, always look forward to this show......
