Okay, for those as confused as I was, Carlos Ghosn is the chairman of Nissan and he has been arrested for "significant financial misconduct." I've never hear his name before, but the Nissan/Renault alliance is perhaps one of the biggest automotive partnerships in the world. So yeah, this is a big deal. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/19/business/carlos-ghosn-nissan-renault/index.html

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! Although I still buy domestics, it's only because some of the subject matter isn't available in the Japanese kits. I just feel the quality and detail in a Tamiya, Aoshima, Fujimi, or Meng is just so much higher than the domestic kits.

That turned out great!

I love these old Escorts. Looking good so far!

Dual blades. What a great idea for the tape lines. I'm totally going to borrow that idea in the near future! Ambitious painting here! Looking forward to the results!

My all time favourite generation of Porsche. Watching with great interest!

Looking good. Great detailing!

Your rescues are always fantastic! Serious question for you. I think I've only ever seen you post rescues. Do you build new kits too? Or just like the challenging of saving the old ones?

Really, really nice build. Very impressed.

That is a beautiful build! I'm curious about the base you have it on. Was that made specifically for the this build? So many people use a wood base (which is fine) but this leather looking on really stands out.

Great save!

The past two weeks here have been ridiculous. We're getting sun, 15 degrees Celcius, then snow, then -15 Celcius, then warming up to 7 Celcius, then freezing rain, then snow, then rain, then snow, then sun. The fluctuations bug me. Last night was white out blizzard conditions and -5 degrees. Today? Plus 7 and rain. Come on Mother Nature, is it winter or not? Make up your mind.

I'll bet there are a lot more irreplaceable classics that have been lost that we just haven't heard about yet. I was bummed out to hear that guitar builder Wayne Charvel lost his home and shop, and all of his original tools and forms and everything he used to make his original iconic guitars. Lots of musicians affected too. Neil Young, Fred Durst, Flea. But at the end of the day, cars and guitars and possessions and stuff are not as important as the people who have been lost. We dealt with this a couple of years ago on a smaller scale here in Alberta. The Fort McMurray fire was pretty frightening, and Fort Mac is still recovering. And it was nowhere near the scale of the Cali fires.

That turned out really nice. Excellent paintwork!

Makes me want to open my Tyrone kits!

Nice. The Unimog is coming back! And a 1/16 Porsche 928? Very interesting.

Very nice! Very 70s, would look right at home in a line of Maseratis. One thing made me chuckle though. After rattling off his list of all the requirements, he says "I didn't realize it would be so difficult." Really, he didn't think it would be that difficult to build a one-off car that would be fun, fast, handle, be reliable, comfortable, etc, etc?! Anyway, very cool that he was able to make it a reality.

Some of the posters or signage had me thinking! One of those Bertone "B" sculptures would look great in the living room. Or the workshop signs to put in the garage.

Looks like it's all gone now. Some interesting stuff there.

Will have to try that!

Unfortunately, my entry is still in the boxes, and completely unstarted.

For about $75 CDN, I picked up a decent slide converter. Plug it in to the computer, and it turns them digital. I am happy with the results. Here's an example. BTW, I'm the little guy behind the Matador.

I'm shutting this thread down. We've had literally dozens of complaints about it. Enough is enough.

Super excited. Got my tickets for Iron Maiden next summer.
