What a great paint job!

Very Cool Mike! I hope to finish mine within a week or so. Thanks,

GREAT work. Beautiful!

Hello, For those of us in PR who couldn't go to NNL East, we just had a great modeling time in my house. Although only 5 modelers showed up, they brought over 35 models, so combined with all of mine, we had over 50 models on display! We had our own show, especially with the in progress projects. GREAT "show and tell" opportunity. Checking out my hobby room and projects, trading ideas and tips, great food, my Corvette library, videos, pictures.... We had a BLAST. While not an NNL or local show by a long shot, it was GREAT! Here are some pics: From left to right: Ruben Tirado, me (at the controls), Alex, Wilmer and Simon. Missing from the picture: Hamilton who arrived after this pic was taken. Trophies were awarded to all participants This is the tuners trophy In progress projects were great: And finished models as well: A Gazillion more pics and details here: http://puertoriconet.com/images/BBQ/ We had a blast. Definitely worth repeating. Thanks,

Very nice weathering! and very glad to see you here..... Thanks,

Hello, Interiors are almost done. Still pending: I want to machine a fire extinguisher to go between the seats. Here are the seats completed, before the rest was added: And here are the completed interiors: Other than the flocking, soldered brass roll bar, leather wrapped foam core pads (surgical tape), photoetch seatbelt set, scratchbuilt door handles, carbon fiber console, computer printed GT3 logos, templated and eliminated back seats, and the key in the ignition, it is a box stock interior Thanks,

Last reminder!!!!!

Long time ago I was diagnosed and I'm a certified case of "overcomplicaditis" In my case I have this particular obsession with super-ultra detailing stuff that is not seen.... Enjoy the madness!!! Thanks,

By the way, I found a video of the making of that commercial: The last part of that video is the best. Again great sound. Thanks,

This is what I think they are: BUT there is no accuracy guarantee written or implied The first one: I think it is a Ferrari 500/125 from 1951 The second one looks like a F1 512 from 1965 Third one is a 1970 312B (IMO, the 312 both the F1 and the 312 PB World sports Car championship racer had one of the best sounding engine in car history) The next one (in Rio de Janeiro Brasil) looks like a '97 310 or a '98 300 (square side intakes) Then there's a quick glimpse of what I think is an F-2004 (side pods) in the Grand Hotel hairpin in Monaco, setting off the alarm of a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and the last one in the gas station has me puzzled. It looks like a 2004 or 2005 but I think it is NOT a 2006, (again side pods). I don't think it is the same as the one shown around Monaco, because the Monaco one has a big Vodafone decal on the side and the front wing is different. But the video is quite fast so it is hard to tell for sure. Great commercial by the way! Love the sound.... Is it possible to download and save a youTube video? Thanks,

Click! My eyes hurt after more than 1 hour on each.... Thanks,

It took me more than 10 minutes to be able to type! I'm still laughing so hard it hurts! Sorry Bob, but you made my day.

WOW! What a great box art! I couldn't care less for the subject, yet the box art is soooooo good I may get one....

Cool project! I'll follow up closely!!!!!

Nice on both. That Camaro is looking GREAT! Love it! Thanks,

Hello, Leather wrapped foam core padding, Simpson cam lock 5 point harness attached to the roll bar itself. As a certified diagnosed patient of "overcomplicaditis", the belts are prototypically and correctly threaded. :cry: It took me about 4 hours to do one seat. It breaks my heart to think this will barely be seen after final assembly... One seat down one to go, or is it 5 points down 5 more to go? EDIT: Ooops, this was supposed to go under the GT3 thread... oh well...

For those of us who won't be there, are these available on-line? That Camaro concept roadster sounds very interesting..... Thanks,

That turned out very nice! I wish I could do decals. For the life of me I can't lay a decent decal no matter how small or flat :cry: Thanks,

Here we go again! Let's fasten the seatbelts and enjoy the ride! Again...

Hello, Suspension, chassis and all undercarriage is done. I think I'll just display the car upside down The front suspension is poseable. I hope I'm no boring anyone with these updates. I know this is not the cup of tea of most but I'm having fun..... Now it is on to the interiors.... Thanks,

Hmmmm, I went to the LHS to pick up a bottle of chrome silver. That was it: just a bottle of chrome silver. But when I got home, I found out this stray kit followed me home. That's my story and I'll stick to it! Not bad for $12.... Yellow or red? Thanks,

That's making somebody else crazy Actually it refers to the effect of paint reacting with or "eating up" the plastic. Paints with strong solvents like lacquers are usually called "hotter" and they attack the bare plastic. That's why we use primer as a barrier. More recently, new models are having this problem even with "softer" paints. So more precautions are needed to prevent the plastic from been damaged. Hope this helps. Thanks,

Great save as usual! I love seeing how you take helpless glue bombs and give them a second life.... Thanks,

Chris, That looks beautiful! and thanks for the "plug" :oops: For me, this is what the hobby is all about: sharing the passion with others..... I have a Revell F430 in primer..... maybe soon...... Thanks,

Matt, That's a geat job on a great looking Porsche! Do you have more pics of it? Thanks,
