Oh my God, that's so cool. This build is perfect, down to the reflection of the body seam in the mirror. Just... Wow!
-
Wow, that's really nice. Like the color, may have to find something to put it on myself. From what I can see, the interior logs nicely detailed. Great build, very convincing.

You had to be careful though, those ponys went down quick and easy.
-
This one's nice too, but I'm leaning towards the 2.2 Charger. Interesting color combo.
-
Very very nice. I love all the detail work. Especially in the engine bay. I don't see a lot of these built,and yours is awesome.
-
Something different, that's why I like it. Nice concept and execution. Color looks great.
-
Cool little build. What class does it run?
-
I've built this one. a simple fun build. Yours looks great.
-
Really nice. Don't think I've seen one completed before. Great choice of color, it suits it.
-
This is a nice build. Lots of attention to detail and everything looks neat and tidy. Nice initial score on getting these kits. On to the next.

A lot of work, but well worth the effort. Nicely done. -
What did you see on the road today?

I'm more interested in the cigar, whiskey music bar in the back ground of the second shot. Maybe they can come back later and pick me up. -

It's late November in northern Ohio. That's how it got that way to begin with. -
I called it quits after 50 years in food service in March 2023 @ 66 years. The wife has two years to go. Enjoying it so far. I've got the models, a garden, grandkids,(and their sports.), cooking, reading and odd jobs/repairs, etc. I'm in relatively good health and keep busy. Hit a slump in November 2023 when the colder weather chased me into the house. I needed something to keep me busy. Still had the hobby, but wouldn't dare do only that for fear of my demise, and refuse to sit in front of the TV all day. I ended up working at the middle school 10 - 2 each day, serving lunch. I have a great time joking with the kids, (6 - 8 grade.) Weekends, holidays and the summer off. Plus snow days! Keeps me busy and gets me out of the house. Literally 6 minutes from home. Also satisfies the need for socialization, and gives me pocket money. As others have stated, life is short. Have a plan, diversify your interests, and do it as soon as you're able. Life is also cruel. My son's friends father had a heart attack and died while giving his retirement speech.

Good people bring out the good in people. Gossip dies when it hits a wise persons ears. I don't want to live forever, but I want to live today. -

Came across this in a parking garage. All I can tell you is it's an auto granny. All the badging was removed including the top of the grill. The white "streaks" on the side are reflections from the lights. Despite the the hood, I suspect it may have started life as a lesser model, though I could be wrong. Still... a nice looking ride. -
What Did You See In Your Yard Today?

Stepped out to check the mail today, and the across the street neighbors cat ran out from my front flower bed. When looked to see what it was doing, I found this.
