Not real interested in the pickup but the dirt bike is 1/16th scale too? Don't think I've seen that kit before.

This happens to me too. But I always tell the wife "I'm just glad I can still do it".

I've used cheap flat black primer and Testors flat black and Tamiya rubber spray. Swear I don't see a big difference.

Excellent build and photography!

Hey, where's my breakfast?

Very nice, sharp build! Nice pictures too.

I like seeing simple kits and what the builder does to make it better. You did a great job on this! Very cool. Thanks for showing us a little nostalgia.

As the others have said; excellent job! Always liked this kit and bought it for a friend on his birthday when we were kids. Never built one myself.

1/25th scale

I'll have to see it since I'm a race fan but for some reason I'm not getting a good vibe from this. I could be completely wrong but just have a feeling.

I agree. That color is different but it looks good.

Excellent work!

This is my first experience with a complete 3d model. I've built a couple of other 3d models but they were fairly easy and not an entire car. I kept it simple and learned some things so hope to do better with future builds.

Goofy. Saturday was sunny and warm so I washed both cars. Sunday was back to the 50's and some rain. Monday was windy and rainy and even some thunder. Still managed to sneak out between the bad weather and take the dogs for a walk. Spring weather I suppose.

Nice clean build. I like funny cars too but the chassis building can get a bit repetitive after awhile.

Opened a 2-pack of Loctite super glue and both of the tubes were rock hard at the top and soft at the bottom. Completely useless. Bought it less than a month ago. Going to be tough checking another package since they're in a blister pack but think I might open it at the customer service desk. I've always used Loctite and this is the first time this has happened.

Using the Revell latest sprint car models and aftermarket decals I finally finished Brad Sweet and Kyle Larson. Started these a long time ago and don't remember what company the decals were from but they were a Fred Cady type where everything is separate. Made for a difficult time as they weren't exactly meant for these models it seemed. I added Hoosier decals on the inside of all the tires but after wrestling the wheels and tires to go together correctly the decals all came off. Used Tamiya white and light metallic blue. Still learning how to take close-up pictures with my phone but not happy with the results just yet.

Good eye! The 2 older gentlemen came from some old figures I had and the box said Henry Ford was one of them.

I had forgotten about those calendars. Used to get them from some contact I had but all that is "politically incorrect" now. Guessing Snap-On calendars are boring now too?

Black and Decker tools. It used to be these were the top of the line but not so sure now. I've had a hedge trimmer and grass trimmer for about a year and they are both manual types. The hedge trimmer had a loose handle and I managed to make it work better with duct tape. Doesn't look good but I'm able to use it without the handle falling off. Yesterday the grass trimmer went "snap" and some plastic part inside that controls the spring broke so it's useless.

The only movies I saw him in were The Doors and Tombstone and I thought he was great.

I'm surprised the jewelers won't attempt to fix it themselves. Do you have a clock shop in town? Maybe they would have a look.

I like your inspiration. You copied the picture perfectly. Great looking model!

Very nice job on this. It looks good despite your troubles. I built this model awhile back and had fun with it. Sometimes it's nice to not feel too serious about a build.

I don't know what's better; the model or the setting, or the photography. All of it looks great.
