Speaking of the Fillmore East album:

Not my dog but I found him for Star Wars day and he was just too cute.

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.

No, it's the same model. I forgot that I had already started a thread on it.

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

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.

Sorry to hear that. But he had a good life and family that loves him.

That's a good build.

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.

Sorry to hear that. Looks like you won't building any models for a while. I hope you heal up soon.

This is obscure but I remember it from college:

very nice, good detail work on the seat belts.

That looks pretty good. I like to watch The Bad Batch too.

That's a very nice build.

That's a nice build. I've seen the original movies and that Fox remake from the 90's.

This is an old build. I built it from Dec '82 to Jan '83. I always had wanted to get a Pocher kit since I was a kid and used to see them advertised in the back of Car Model Magazine in one of those tiny ads. So after I had moved out of my parent's house into my 1st apartment I saw two Pocher kits at the mall in a K B Toy & Hobby store. This one and a Mercedes kit. The Mercedes was $300 (a sale price)and somebody beat me to it. The Bugatti had been $600 but the it got marked down to $300. So I bought it. I opened up that box and there sure were a lot of parts. As for the colors, well, black is black. As for the Yellow there was a GM Yellow available that was an exact match to the Bugatti color. I didn't have an airbrush in those days so I bought automotive touch up paint in spray cans. It was a brand called Tempo at the time. It was very good. I did polish it out with emery cloth and finished it off with liquid ebony (I still have that and use it today). So anyway, here it is. Everything works too, door handles, windows crank, the engine has the internals, the rear end has all the gears in brass, there are brake pads, the steering worls from the steering wheel. The leaf springs are too stiff to flex. The knock-offs work to remove the wheel and show the brake details. The seats didn't come with the stitching, I had it done on a sewing machine. I used that wood veneer that comes in those metal cigar tubes for the dashboard. I didn't know how to paint wood grain back then so I just left the steering wheel in the plastic color. You can actually now buy an aftermarket steering wheel for it made from real wood.

Great build, nice detail.

That's a great build. It looks like it's in front of a hobby shop too.

That sure is a great paint job!
