  2. I did not made it to the show this year. Maybe next year.....
  3. Ron, All are great as usually from you, but I love the '67 Vette (surprised!?) I plan to do my '67 coupe in Marina blue as well!!!! Thanks,
  4. Talking models with good friends over BBQ chicken The living legends: Gregg and Jairus Thanks for a GREAT time guys!
  5. Bill, You mean like this? This has been started for more than 15 years. And last time I did something on it was about 12 years ago... Maybe I need to go back at it... Thanks,
  6. Thanks all! Wow!!! rec.models.scale was where it all began! ScaleCorvettes.com was born there back in early 1998. I thought it was no longer active. Gotta get back there. Thanks,
  7. OK, I know this is off topic but here we go anyways. Car model stuff has been put away. I want to make this ######: Look closer to this: in 1/72 scale!!! I'm looking in a mirror and saying "Good luck!" So I'll be away from cars for a while..... Thanks,
  8. Thanks buddy! Always a pleasure having you here. We should do it more often Thanks,
  9. Anybody knows of any forum like this one dedicated to aircraft models? I'm working on some helicopters and it feels very lonely
  10. It rains a lot here, so that would be helpful Looking forward to see it on Sunday. Thanks,
  11. That Trike looks great! I don't know anything about them, but I think it must have a turning radius like a 747 Question: What wheels are those in the yellow Mustang? (Here we go again with the wheel fetish....)

    The engine alone is an inspirational build in itself! After the 3rd time looking at it I noticed there is a car body there Great craftsmanship! Thanks,
  13. My portuguese is not very good (far worst than my english) but I'm slowly learning it as a third language.....
  14. Uelder, Está muito bom, mantenha o bom trabalho... Eu espero ver mais do seu trabalho.. O'brigado,
  15. Dave, I'd love to see the picture if you ever find it. Have you heard from Gary lately? I haven't heard from him in about a year. Thanks,
  16. Bob, Let's see if it works from here: If it works, we should see your wonderful GS Tahoe.... Thanks,
  17. Hello, First a little history: About a year ago I was discussing Grand Sports with Robert Wheeler, (the othe Corvette guy, robertw in this forum). then the December '05 issue of Corvette Fever magazine was dedicated to Grand Sports and some GS clones, including a C5 and a C6. So we set to do a pair of GS clones: I'd do the C5, since I already had a C5 Z06 in progress painted LeMans blue, and he would do the C6. By coincidence, they were both finished last week. So here they are both: 1 picture of each then more pics of both Robert's C6 Grand Sport: Robert used Tamiya paints. My C5 Z06 Grand Sport: I used Cobra Colors paint. I started painting this car almost 2 years ago, and it shows. This paint job is nowhere near any of my most recent efforts. White stripes on both cars are painted, not decals. More pics of Robert's C6 More pics of my C5 Z06 GS Sorry for the big amount of pics Thanks,
  18. They are all nice but the trailer is mind boggling
  19. Hello, This is IT. The holiest of Holy grails. The one and only. The kit built with my heart, not my hands. Most likely my favorite single car of all time. I was supposed to retire from the hobby after this one This was finished last year. It is and will most likely always be my best and favorite build. Can you feel I like it? 1957 Corvette SS http://www.puertoriconet.com/images/SS/DSCF0002.JPG http://www.puertoriconet.com/images/SS/DSCF0013.JPG More pics here: https://race-car-models.proboards.com/thread/2569/best-model-1957-corvette-ss I want to take better pics of this and write an article, so stay tuned..... Thanks,
  20. I'm very happy to see him back! I've been exchanging emails with him back and forth for a few weeks now. He has many projects in the pipeline. His 1958 turbine powered Firebird III show car kit is almost ready for production. I thanked him for this: My holiest grail built with my heart, not my hands. More pics here:http://www.scalecorvettes.com/Corvette%20g...ael%20ss/ss.htm Thanks,
  21. Love them all, but the 2 Vettes and the '57 Chevy conv are my favorties I don't recall a '57 Chevy conv kit. Is that a conversion from the AMT? resin? Thanks,
  22. Needless to say, I love them both! One of these days I'll have to work on the AM Grand Sport. So many projects, so little time!!! Thanks,
  23. Great build of a beautiful car! As an Indy 500 nut, I love to see it finished! What did you use for the exhaust? That golden / bronze metal look is very nice. Thanks,
  24. Hello, Here is a recap of my builds of 2006 so far. I think I can pull at least one more in the year.

Thanks,
  25. Hello, I'm following Monoped's Ferrari 512. I love that car and it inspired me to continue working on this, althought from a different era: This is the Quick Skins resin IMSA Corvette GTP. This car raced between 1985 and 1989. This is a loooong term project, so don't expect to see it finished anytime soon Here is a mockup of how it should look After cleanup and first coat of primer Right now the initial coat of primer has been sanded and more primer will be applied next. Thanks,
