Beautiful work Bob! Does that mean you are building two engines? Looking forward to seeing more of this! Tom

Wait...what???...the model is done!!?? Absolutely beautiful...breathtaking!!! Bob, please check your PM's. Tom

Not to mention that it got moved and I just now blindly stumbled across it... Tom

Bravo Stan!!!... very clever. So you're drilling the holes before removing the spokes, nice idea. Hope to see more soon! Tom

Stan Congradulations on your first completed wheel, it looks great! I've actually heard that a pet pedicure tool makes a good drill motor, they are cheap, will have to check one out someday. I just bought the Packard Roadster, wish I could join you guys, but it will have to wait awhile. Tom

Hey Bob Thanks for the info, Plano huh, never thought of them...and I'm into trains too! Was cutting the top of the hood a difficult job? Hint, hint...how did you do it? I picked up the Duesenberg town car on eBay for a good price, now I see that the radiator is the kit part. Are you planning to use Alclad for all the chrome? I'm thinking I'd like to do the Packard Roadster, if I ever get around to building on of these, keeping my eye on eBay. Looking forward to more of your progress, Tom

Hi Bob More amazing work for sure! Hope you don't mind lots of question... I was going to ask if you had any plans to hinge the hood, but I see you are already there. How did you attach the hinge to the hood? What photo etch did you use for the mesh on the hood? Is that an aftermarket grill? Or the kit part? Are you writing a book about this? Oh, and please stay not very well, lol! Thanks, Tom

Hi Bob Beautiful work on the wheels...inspiring too! So inspiring I just bought the same kit on eBay! It will have to wait a while, into armor modeling at the moment. I remember your Stuart from AMPS in Indiana, what an amazing model! I took lots of pics. I'm assuming you painted the whitewalls, may I ask what you used? It looks perfect! Any chance you will be at AMPS 2014? Thanks for the inspiration! Tom
