Nice rides...nice execution on both. I like the Bugatti...any more picks.

I guess part of the fun/challenge for me in building a model as opposed to just assembling a model is figuring out ways to overcome issues such as this. Getting any model to have the "right" look takes some thought just like building a real car. I have found that building some of the more poorly engineered kits are the most gratifying. Especially when your colleagues say 'Wow...you did that with that kit..how?'

Rat... Not a rat... At least in my opinion...and everyone is entitled to my opinion...#notserious.

Clean, subtle and smooth...I like the interior panels. Very nice rendition.

I have all there albums...real vinyl...and I listen to them on turntable.

I am a Corvette owner...it is a fun car to drive...I like Fords and Dodges and Hondas as well...heck I like darn near anything with wheels. This is a bummer for sure but no loss of puny humans. So that is good. I also have a sense of humor....I got it from here...

Just fill in the hole with the cars in it....when the apes take over they can ponder over what crazy space machines from generations past did the puny human travel in.

A sure sign of the apocalypse...REPENT...or be swallowed by the earth!

Sort of looks like a Mortensen Engineering product. I have a set at home I'll check it out for comparison later.

Is anyone aware of any photo etch for Shelby 427 cobras? Looking for some photo etch jack attachments.

I'm restoring a 1968 Triumph Daytona motorcycle at the same shop where the Shelby King Cobra was restored. I work at the shop on Saturdays...it was pretty cool to see the progress each week during the process. Impressive to be working alongside a 1.6 million dollar car.

The biggest change for me has been the addition of the ALPS printer. It has allowed me to make replica race cars that no one would ever make decals for. No other printer that I am aware of prints white.

The family truckster!

Scale Model Supplies in St. Paul.

So most people are making $25 an hour? Average minimum wage is $7.40 per hour. Avg kit price for an AMT/Revell/Monogram 1/24 scale....$20-$25. If your buying from your local hobby shop and not off ebay or mail order. 3 hours or so minimum wage if my math brain still works correctly.

Only from the minds of Minolta...nice.

Revell 1941 Willys, 2 AMT older NASCARS(for cannibalization), and a Gurney Reynard.

Sounds like my childhood. I was always really careful with dad models. I raced them on an oval shaped rug we had. Even though there were some "bad" crashes I never busted them up. I was always fascinated by military dioramas...as kid I thought my dream job would be building dioramas for museums. Dreams are cheap.

I always have sticker shock when I buy paint. If you add up all the stuff(tools, paints, etc) it's no wonder kids are not interested in the hobby. You could easily drop $60 to build a model about the price of video game. Then all they have is a dust collector that has very little play value.

I pretty much use automotive laquers to paint with. I buy them in pints and they last me a long time. I went to the paint shop yesterday to buy some Viking and Guardsman blue. $85 per pint. The last time I purchased a pint it was $40. A quart of Ditzler primer was $76. I should be set to paint Cobras from now until the zombie apocalypse.

They are Willy, Willy nice.

I bike and cross-country ski in the winter...no problems with sub-zero temps. I just got a below zero rated sleeping bag and am going to try a winter tent camping trip.

I like both your companies decals. Race cars are especially difficult to create a set of decals for...they are in a constant state of flux, race to race...even from qualifying to actual race on the same day.

Bellissimo cavallo rampante!

Das ist wunderbar!
