I along with all other members certainly appreciate all the technical work done on your end for our benefit and enjoyment. Thank you so much!

I thought something looked odd about the hood side panels so I Googled it and sure enough the lovers are backwards. The stock ones open to the rear to vent engine heat. The cowl looks like one with a previous life on a sedan. Unique none the less. Thanks for sharing them with us.

And we 'd be wearing our painting respirators while staying 25 model kit boxes apart

Some of us have been tagged as " lunatic fringe". Consider yourself warned:)

Looks like you're a firm believer in the modelers saying that " Too much is almost never enough ". Welcome and have fun.

Never be intimidated by the models you see here,but be inspired by them I have been doing this longer than a lot of the members have been on this planet and still am inspired daily to kick things up a notch or three.Simply enjoy your bench time building what you like the way you like it.

What's not to like about your models,great paint,details and trim work. Not hard to see why you got post feedback. There is a lot positive going on here and heaven knows we need all we can find.

Everything here would look right at home at any model show display table today. Quality work is always in style. I was the guy that posted the" stop lurking" note. It's a mimic of a local TV commercial where a guy wants you to let his company put foam insulation in the walls of you house thus saving you money. He ends every commercial by saying " Stop freezing and start saving ".

I built a '69 convertible Camaro from the AMT Indy pace car kit when the the kit was new and available anywhere. We were on vacation in '69 in a rented cabin for a week. It started raining the first day and was going to continue all week. I found a local hardware store that had the kit,bought the basic supplies I needed including gloss black for the body and flat black for the interior plus some bottle paint for details. I spent the next week building my Camaro while it poured down rain outside. Man what a great vacation that was! I still have that built model in my big display case 51 years later.

Gotta love a flatty powered '27 bucket! I will be watching as well. Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Alan, I have based entire scratch built projects on approximate dimensions before when no other data exists. Somewhere I have seen a full sides on photo of the speed demon with the whole crew standing behind it posing with the LSR record trophy. If we assume that someone in that line-up is about six feet tall we can measure that person's height then see how many times that measurement it takes to equal the length of the car we have an approximate car length. I personally would then trace the car's profile on legal size paper and have it enlarged to the correct length. From that new photo everything in suddenly in 1/25 scale. I have done this many times and though simple, it works.

There is nothing like having owned the real car for knowing what everything really should look like. Great model!

Absolutely, he has both the vision and the skills to create amazing things.

I have cut a lot of tops over the last 60+ years and can testify that cutting them apart is the easy part .Skillfully re-assembling those pieces is a whole other thing with the restoring those pillars and posts the most tricky.

Eclectic is good. IMO whatever is on your bench is somehow a reflection of the builders personality.

This post inspired me to check the record low temperatures right here in west Central Ohio. They record low was -25 F in 1994 The very next day was -16F.

Somehow I can see the crank driven supercharged version in the back of a belly tanker on it's way to the salt flats.

Yet another great glue bomb save under way. Looking ready for the angel hair display on the show floor at a Carl Casper show.

You're on the right path here,but I need someone to number the pegs for me then give me the correct sequence.

Thanks Ray, this is very cool looking resin. I'll be very interested to see this develop.

I would love to master this method but after turning the wire around the hub the first time I would certainly forget where to go next and on and on without the pegs being numbered so I could follow those numbers from peg to peg until the pattern was complete. Basically I would need a step by step guide from peg to peg to ever make it work(read that as idiot proof).

Please show us some more views please including a front end one so I decide wether of not I need(?) to get one of my own. Thanks.

John's boat is outrageously Kool!

The $ 400.00 is our cost every month for this medication. It is one of 11 meds she takes daily + her 24/7 oxygen.

An extra word of caution is necessary here. There is a small dia steel spring inside two of the gears that have a rather large shaft on them. That is what allows the dosage mechanism to rewind for the next dose. I was cutting the gear off of one last night with my Exacto saw and when nearly done with the cut the spring popped the gear off and it flew about six feet. Just be careful when you cut those two apart.
