IPMS Western Reserve / John H. Glen chapters annual model contest and swap meet at the Kirtland School Complex.

Some nice helpful mods...

It does look good and race cars were not clear coated. Glad your having fun!

Who doesn't like Steve McQueen....

Very clean build, nicely detailed and that stance!

Love me some Coo-Coo. Paint looks good....

Welcome to the Styrene-holics meeting place, Bill. My name is Rooster and it's been 3 days since I last glued something together.

I like this, great idea. Reminds me of my travel kit I would take on the road while working out of town. PS If you spray paint in the hotel turn the fan on!

Coming along nicely...

LOVELY

You have my attention....

Can I just add, Thia is what this hobby is all about. No Bull, just friends building models....

Is he still a member/friend? It's a wonderful build and great that you were able to save it after so many years.

I'd like to know the name of the artist for the music in that video and yes the paint looks great!

Extremely clean build you have going, looks like some great detail work coming up...

Tell me which 70's-80's funny car kit is best and why. Looking to build a simi-detailed model.

After purchasing two Atlantis kits in the past six months, the first 57 Chevy which I struggled to build and recently the Jungle Jim Camaro funny car, I am done. There is nothing in this kit that comes close to buildable. The kit should be called Flash Gordon! The wheels appear to have lockers for some kind of 4 wheel drive and the body looks like it's from a Deals wheels cartoon kit. With modern technology why can't someone turn out a better flopper kit. Ok I'm done ranting too..... And now back to your regular scheduled programming.

If memory serves me right, the reason the kit was engineered with the lower cab corners to be separate is to allow the interior tub placement. I worked my way around this problem once. I'd be interested to know what you find.

A lovely Elco build, proper stance and perfect colors. Nice job, I'd like to see it photographed with a proper background!

Outstanding model you have there...

What a nice clean build! Fit and finish spot on and the colors work perfectly, well done.

Fancy build you have there....

Well your off to a good start. Having the real deal in the garage is helpful. And it looks like your willing to search out correct pieces parts to match your 1:1. Judging by your enthusiasm I'd say your going to need a bigger work area! Patiently watching....

That is a well done 57, finish is outstanding!

Well done! Legendary subject....
