  1. Don't know how I missed this one.......its brilliant!!
  2. I'm gonna wait to see what people say about it in a year or so. I'd hate to find out that in time it fades like other inks, or tarnishes. I know theres guys here that like to tear apart, and rebuild models........I aint one of them. I'm gonna stick with the tested and proven: BMF, and Spaz Stix.
  3. That's a decent kit with a lot of potential! I have the Bad Actor kit to do some day. How about you do it with a truck bed?
  4. I love Porsches!!
  5. My favorite Mopar of all time!!!!!.....and you made it look real!!! P.S., don't you hate static electricity?
  6. Love your work here!!!, As usual, you picked different colors than the "norm" and made it work. Its one of the things I like about your build-style. Keep'em coming!!
  7. Looks so real!! Q: did you get that backdrop from a company in Belgium?
  8. To me this IS the coolest little car of all time!!......it doesn't look like it, but it has a great racing heritage. You did it proud!!
  9. Love your work here!!.....especially the weathering!!
  10. OUTSTANDING work!! -my favorite version of this car!, I keep telling myself to buy this kit, because even though I VERY rarely do competition vehicles, I'd love to build this as a street-tuner.
  11. Love the colors!!! -Nice work on that intake as well!!
  12. I agree 100%!!!!!
  13. I owned one of these when I was in the Army!! -You did a Fantastic job on this build.....All the way 'round!!
  14. I love the overall attention to detail!!! -especially the VERY subtle weathering to the wheels!!
  15. I love the bronze one, but only because of the color.....its not used as much as that blue is. Fantastic work!!!! Q: I bet you had to lower the suspension, didn't you?
  16. Looks GREAT!!, makes me want to dig mine out and build it. Like you, my Drag-U-La is already built, so I need to do this one, BUT I already have two builds going on right now.
  17. Love that color!!!
  18. That has got to be the toughest looking Pinto I've ever seen......Outstanding!!!
  19. What can I say?......Exceptional!!!!
  20. I think that you have the proper SCALE gloss on your finishes. I remember telling you that there is something about your builds that I like ALOT. its your REALISTIC balance. Tons of modelers get overlooked when they shouldn't. I'm still a firm believer that the Shine, gloss, finish, ...whatever you call it, MUST be subject to being scaled-down, if everything else is.
  21. Fantastic job!!!!! my favorite Transam of all!, this is how I would have ordered one. I really like the fact that you added the proper gray/steel color in the grilles!! too many times this gets forgotten about I think.
  22. I agree with you 1000%!! People like "shiny" things, and apparently in the model building world, if its not blindingly shiny, it doesn't get attention. I've been to contests where the winners had finishes that look like they were spit-shined by the U.S Honor Guard, but the detail, craftsmanship were as if someone else had done the assembly process entirely, and not that good in comparison to their polishing. some of these still win-out when they shouldn't. Example: i'm also a competitive bodybuilder. We judge on: size, definition, and symmetry. You have to have a BALANCE of all three to be the winner. At one of my shows in particular, it was down to the last three of us. The guy on my right was bigger than me, but was retaining water, so he didn't have as good definition as I had. The guy to the left of me had the same definition as me, but was considerably smaller than me. I won. Balance. If one guy has a build that shows great attention to detail, executes the work cleanly and believably, but his finish is not as "shiny" as the next guys, who has less detail and not as clean finishing, he should still win. Far too many people focus only on the "gloss" of a model. anybody can Buff a finish out.
  23. Thanks, she's an Angel, and she LOVES Silver lake!!!
