Another seafood feast for the new year! Shrimp Cocktail, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, Teriyaki BBQ Glazed, Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and a Cheddar Twice Baked Potato, all washed down with a cold Grain Belt Premium. Steve

I've learned to plan on no more than a pair of finished projects for the year as of late. This year, I "WILL" complete my current 1968 HEMI Coronet R/T project. After that, it's up in the air, but candidates include a '64 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, '64 Pontiac LeMans convertible or a '63 Buick Riviera......or any one of a half dozen other projects that I have my eye on. Most likely, next year's 2021 "finished" review in the Under Glass section will be the '68 Coronet, and the '64 Bonneville. Steve

Thanks fellas! I appreciate that! Steve

Some really sweet stuff Anders! The '56 Delray is a real standout in my eye! Steve

What a terrific line up! There's no way that I can pick my favorite, but it would definitely be one of the American muscle cars! Steve

Great line up Kurt! I remember seeing your burgundy Ferrari entered in the "Desert Scale Classic" online show in the factory stock category, and I remember thinking to myself that I really had my work cut out for me if I wanted to compete with that exceptional piece! Extremely well done Kurt!! Steve

I could be wrong, but if I recall correctly, you were equally as prolific in 2019! Steve

I would expect nothing but top notch work from you Roger, and you didn't disappoint in 2020! Steve

Some really exceptional examples Ludwig! I especially like the '62 Fury, '58 Chevy, '64 Ford and '62 Buick. Great stuff! Steve

Nice work Scott! I remember seeing several of your models entered into the ACME Southern Nationals online contest, all of which were miles better than the ultimate factory stock winner I might add! Steve

Nice stuff Steve! For some reason, I'm partial to the Grand Prix! Steve

Really terrific stuff Marcos! The Schwinn is cool as hell, and I particularly like the pair of Moebius 4x4's! Steve

I really appreciate all of the magnificent comments fellas! Believe it or not, you are "all" a true inspiration to me!! Steve

It reminds me a little of the crack heads that went through my 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix when they broke into the shed that it was stored in some years ago. They damaged a few things, like the rear seat back when they tried to get into the trunk from the back seat and broke the radiator shroud for some reason, but the list of stolen parts were what baffled me. I get the fact that they stole the tachometer and tried and failed to swipe the radio, but they stole parts that only an idiot would take off of a car with 140,000 miles on it. They took the alternator and starter as well as the air cleaner, but the one that really confounded me was that they cut off a section of the passenger side exhaust from above the rear axle to the rear bumper!? Must have been something that they needed to make their meth! Steve

I can't help you Scott.......but love the hat! Steve

That pretty much sums it up perfectly. I really don't think that much else needs to be said. An individuals ignorance is not much of an excuse to defame a company's entire catalog of products. These kinds of broad aspersions are virtually always specious. Steve

Some very cool and interesting subjects there Mike! Really like the '69 Impala and the '68 Galaxie!! I've never been a big fan of the early '70s Cougars, but something about yours gets the gears turning for me. Steve

I agree. It will likely never happen, and yes, there would be plenty of complaining, as there always is. So, in the mean time, I guess I'll stick with Round 2, Revell and Moebius. Steve

Obviously, if the horse is speaking, he's not dead yet! I say let the beating commence! Steve

That should be expected when you issue an unfounded blanket statement as he did. He should know that saying that an entire companies kits "suck" is going to draw a considerable amount of fire. If he didn't, he knows now! Steve

Granted, these are "classics", but they are all imports. I have no interest in imports, so I have no interest in building them, regardless of the "superior" engineering. I wish Tamiya would produce some classic "American" cars. I would love to give them a whirl. But until that day comes, I have no interest. Steve

True. The preciseness of a kit is of little consequence if the subject matter holds no interest for you. I'm not going to start building Japanese imports just because the kits are better. I would give up the hobby before I started building subjects that I have no interest in. Steve

I couldn't agree more. If you are a person who is unwilling to put your skills to the test to build the subjects that you are interested in and available because they may not meet your "perfection" standards, you're the one who has some "developing" to do. A truly skilled modeler will never limit himself, and you will have a hard time developing those skills if you are not willing to try to expand them. Steve

Also a very good perspective. The best builders can build pretty much anything with good results, and they didn't get to be great builders by building only perfectly engineered kits. Steve

Exactly my thought. Steve
