  1. Looks really nice, well done sir.
  2. Man oh man! I think they all look great but the your pop machine is the best. These kits are a blast! Can’t wait for the other two.
  3. Here’s my current workbench. Tools I use frequently are kept at my right hand, bottles of paint on the left in a drawer. Everything has a place and usually put back in its place after every session. After every build tabletop gets wiped down and floor vacuumed. I’m quite comfortable in my little nook in the basement. Even added a wash tub to keep from going upstairs to wet sand and scrub parts.
  4. Very nice!
  5. Thank you and they are most certainly a treat to build.
  6. Finished my build of the Tamiya 1/12 scale GSX1100S Suzuki Katana. What a good fun kit for a mere 14.40 from Hobbylinc. Paint is Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf. Original bike had a Navy blue seat but I opted for black. I would like to thank Gary at Tamiya customer service for replacing the vinyl tubing that I misplaced. Might have to get my hands on a couple more bikes for display. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
  7. Beautiful!
  8. Fine looking Firebird!
  9. Great looking Fairlane. I just built this and I don’t recall right off any fit issue but my memory isn’t all that great.
  10. Very, very nice build. I’m currently working on a ‘33 Cadillac V-16 Town Car in 1/16, only my driver is going to get wet!
  11. That’s quite a masterpiece, extremely well done.
  12. Wow, both are quite impressive!
  13. Fantastic job on this iconic muscle car!
  14. Looks great!
  15. Thank you kind sir. Second one very unlikely, lol!
  16. Thank you! I’m not sure where I came up with the new tool thought.
  17. Just finished this one up after a very frustrating final assembly. I was very excited this being a new tool and made in the USA and all but it almost got launched across the room. I ended up cutting off the alternator, removing the battery and master cylinder and cutting small sections of core support and right front wheelhouse off to finally mate the extremely tight fitting body to the chassis. No glue required however! Front bumper was just as rough. Didn’t care for the kit hubcaps so I used some parts box rally wheels. The side mirror in the kit is greatly oversized so I used a smaller one out of my stash. I had originally painted it Model Masters Flame Red which was closer to a original color but it had to take a bath in the purple pond, unfortunately I couldn’t find another can of it. It now sits with Tamiya TS-39 Mica Red. All in all I suppose it turned out pretty well. Sore about the long winded rant but thanks for checking it out.
  18. Very cool! I would love to see this reissued.
  19. That is an incredible build and I digging the camo!
  20. That’s really cool, nice work!
