Nice!

Patrick, I got your message; I share your concerns for our good White Mountain Modelers friends and their families. I have not heard from Tim (Pentecost) or the other guys (Brian Heap, Gene Snyder, and others), so I don't know how they are fairing. I'm afraid they are in the evacuation zone. Even the guys who live in Luna (NM) are in harm's way. It's getting really bad - critically bad - out there, and I'm sure they have their hands full ~~ too busy to post here or send email. I'm not going to call Tim - he's got much bigger fish to fry and doesn't have time to talk - but when he can, we'll hear. Just keep up the good thoughts for them all and say some prayers for them! Standing by ...

Still looking great ... still!

Kewl! Great idea, great execution. Ka-Pow!

Personally, I agree with Pete J's interpretation. But my personal take on the issue does not matter, unless it is a contest for which I am the judging authority. There have been a couple of references to "IPMS" but IPMS chapters do not interpret and apply the IPMS rules uniformly, universally, or consistently. Different chapters do different things. Sometimes the same chapter can interpret/apply the same rules differently, depending on who is 'head judge' for a specific event. HOWEVER, the bottom line is just what I've said before ~~~ IT DEPENDS ON THE SPECIFIC, INDIVIDUAL CONTEST. THE ONLY WAY TO BE CERTAIN AND TO BE SAFE IS TO FIND OUT HOW IT WOULD BE INTERPRETED AND APPLIED BY THE JUDGING AUTHORITY OF THE SPECIFIC CONTEST. What might be acceptable at one event may be prohibited at another, even if both are promoted by the same entity.

Can't wait, John!

Only if the kit's instructions call for wiring or plumbing to be added by stretching sprue.

What they said.

It's green.

It depends. 1. It depends on the specific rules for the specific contest. There is so much disparity and variation from contest to contest that it is almost impossible to come up with an answer that is universal ... unless you plan to enter nothing but IPMS competitions. 2. If you plan to enter nothing but IPMS International contests, the IPMS rules for Out Of Box could be considered definitive ... unless of course the specific IPMS chapter sponsoring the contest you plan to enter does not adhere to the IPMS International OOB rule. (That's right; some don't.) 3. Clear? As mud. For more clarity, see #1 above.

It would be this one ... The Alex Gurney, Jon Fogarty, Jimmie Johnson Riley Chevrolet GAINSCO 99 rocket ship.

Wayne, Derrick ... Beautiful builds, both! Any tips for getting those decals down on the Dart? Thanks for your help.

Mark, If there's a Riley DP car available, I'd like to replicate the Gainsco #99. I just don't recall seeing too much out there for the Rolex. Thanks!

Does anyone know of a source for Rolex Sports Car Series Decals in 1/24 or 1/25? What about plastic or resin bodies or kits for the Riley Daytona Production car? Thanks!

Interesting!

That's it? No sides, no top? Doesn't look bad, just looks incomplete ... unless I missed something.

Nice.

Section it (to reduce overall body height) and bubbletop the "cab." Chrome wheels and metalflake.

Nice.

Outstanding.

NICE! Another real beauty, Lyle.

Nice job, Bill. Very good conversion.
