  1. 2015 Cannondale Scalpel 29 Carbon 3. It was brand new when this picture was taken.
  2. I just wanted to tell you a little story about my watch winder that I was able to fix easily and cheaply. I got it about a year ago, after about 6 months it started acting up. It seems now when I remove a watch I need to replace it with another to keep it balanced so it can still spin them around. But after another 6 months it started getting worse. I would have to tap it to get it to go, but it continued getting worse. And I noticed it was squealing when trying to turn. So I figured there must be a belt in the gearbox. So, it was easy to open up, all that's needed is a Philips head screwdriver. So I opened up the gearbox and there was an orange "O"-ring belt, it looked a little greasy. So when I removed it for cleaning it broke into 4 pieces. So off to Home Depot. I went to the plumbing dept. and found the right size pretty quickly, a pack of 10 for $3.13, so it was a cheap and easy fix, it's like new again.What I want to add is that it naturally had bad reviews (it was from Amazon). I edited my review as these problems happened including how I repaired it. But I get the impression that I'm the only one that figured out this cheap and easy repair. Here's the watch winder: foto hoster
  3. That's amazing. There's quite a lot of work just on that fuel tank.?
  4. I had to respray the hood. It came out almost perfect. There's couple of tiny imperfections that need to be polished out. But otherwise the paint cam out so smooth it wouldn't need polishing at all. I took these shots with a light reflecting in it so you can see how glass smooth the paint came out.
  5. Just out of the paint booth, so it has to dry thoroughly so it can be polished.
  6. Speaking of the Fillmore East album:
  7. Not my dog but I found him for Star Wars day and he was just too cute.
  8. Good to have you aboard Rick. I'm in GA too. I belong to the ACME model club here. We meet in Smyrna. So post up pictures of your models, mostly Camaros I guess.
  9. No, it's the same model. I forgot that I had already started a thread on it.
  10. Here's what I have so far: Box art: 1/1 engine: The instrument decals just came apart so I had this photo to print out in scale and cut out the instruments
  11. Here's the box art Here's the 1:1 engine. I used this picture to place scraps of CF decals in the engine bay area. I do have the Scale Motorsports CF and PE too. Here's the dashboard. The instrument decals in the kit just disintegrated so I had to use a photo I printed to scale to cut out. Here's the rest, The dashboard isn't glued in yet as I have to install the seats and seat belts.
  12. Sorry to hear that. But he had a good life and family that loves him.
  13. This is great stuff. I've only heard a few minutes and this is the "real stuff". I looked at the channel and it's just endless blues. All of them are 8 hours long.
  14. Sorry to hear that. Looks like you won't building any models for a while. I hope you heal up soon.
  15. This is obscure but I remember it from college:
  16. very nice, good detail work on the seat belts.
  17. That looks pretty good. I like to watch The Bad Batch too.
  18. That's a very nice build.
