Very nice, Ray.

Nice.

Wow. Very nice build!

Very nice! I love the classics, and you've done them very well!

It is a stunning beauty, for certain! Spectacular build, Jere!

Nice mild custom.

Yikes! Dos Americanos. What's this world coming to? Holy carp, G! That's two Amerikanski builds in a row. All at once! There really IS still hope for little grasshopperski!

Nailed those lights, Dave.

*Gasp.* Amazing! Be still my racing heart! Can it be? Whoa. Go, Jonathan, go! Glad to see you woke up on the correct side . . . Hey, look, G! There's hope . . .

For an inexpensive trial . . . check out Harbor Freight. They have cheap but not junk airbrushes all the time, and occasionally put them on sale for even cheaper! They are simple single action bottle-feed units, but they'll allow you to learn the process and the feel of airbrushing. They are fine for basic painting, especially workman-type stuff - chassis, engines, interiors, priming, the basics. They'll do fine for starter body painting practice. As you get a feel for the airbrushing process, you'll want to graduate to better quality ... but the Harbor Freight cheapies are great to keep around for the quick, basic stuff. Just my 2-cents.

G and I are doing the best we can to bring you around.

Hey, Erik. Nice build developing here! Tell that pesky employer to stay out of our way ... but keep those paychecks coming, of course!

Okay, thanks. I kind of guessed that, since I couldn't find anything concrete on it. I appreciate your confirmation. At least there's still the Coors tour! THAT's always money.

That's cool! Sounds like you've got a lot more going on in the Springs than when I lived there! I may get a chance to check it out.

Wiiiiicked!

Nice.

It's more about the camaraderie and fun than it is about cranking out a show winner. Once a year, we spend 24 hours building, sharing, b-s'ing, helping one another, stealing ideas from one another, and watching a vast array of races 'round the clock. It's a hoot. Then you go home and sleep the next day! LOL. ca·ma·ra·der·ie (kä m -rä d -r , käm rä d -r ). n. Goodwill and lighthearted rapport between or among friends; comradeship.

I'm in this camp. And I also have an amazing plastic spoon collection!

Looking good, Dave!

Tom's right: Rescue Ambulance. And, he's correct that every jurisdiction has its own vernacular. Where I was, the bosses had to constantly remind the troops to avoid using the local slang, "Meat wagon" on the radios! And, of course, our area flight for life helicopter air ambulance service really disliked being referred to as "dash for cash."

Yeah, nice bug-gy!

Been to Forney a lot. Gotta check out Cussler's . . . haven't been there yet. Pikes Peak International Hill Climb? Yes. Worked it for 16 years . . . haven't been there since they paved the rest of the course. Thanks! Also, since you're in Golden, Ken, do you know if the Colorado State Patrol Museum is open yet? I've seen a lot about it, but nothing that indicates when it is supposed to be finished or up & running. Thanks!!!

Ditto!

Wow. Now that's a new one on me, too! I'll have to check that out. Thanks

Been there, too. Thanks!
