Passport? Isn't that a radar detector? No you don't need it, unless you plan to hop from here anywhere else Let me know the date so I can block it in the calendar. Thanks,

Thanks Bob, I tried that once but I could never make the ink to flow evenly. I don't remember what brand pen I used, but it was a .005 as well. I got only short lines, and when I tried to join them it would blotch. Any idea why this happened? Any tips? I'll look for it to try again. Thanks,

None to report. However, I'm using Moon mud primer which has never caused that problem. Thanks,

Hello, Continuing the full assault on the workbench, I started the C6R. Close inspection reveals mold lines and a few low spots that need attention. I worked on it and had the first coat of Moon mud primer. Still a bit more work before final primer and color. Revell kits are very good, but it is no secret they are not yet in the Tamiya neighborhood when it comes to clean straight bodies. Thanks,

Hello, The Ferrari 308 GTB got its first color coat. Cobra Colors California Azzurro Metallic. After the first light coat, I did a medium coat. It looks so good it can almost go to clear now. But I'll let it sit and will check it carefully tomorrow and continue with color coats. The picture is horrible. It looks a gazillion times better in person than in the pic. Thanks,

Hello, I can not explain it but chassis and underside detailing is one of my favorite parts of this hobby. One of these days, I will end up displaying my models upside down This is the chassis for the C5 Z06. Note the exhaust is titanium, not aluminum. The transmission is a resin T-56 I casted years ago. I sold a bunch of these back then, but this is the first time I actually use one Still pending: Brakes. I machined the rotors and now I'm working on the calipers. Thanks,

Wow! That's coming along very nice! Noody can tell it did NOT started as a fresh kit! Thanks,

Very nice job! Love the color. Thanks,

Beautiful! That color goes very well with the car! Thumbs up on a good job! Thanks,

Nice looking Monte Carlo! That's one of my favorite years Monte. The wheels are perfect for it. I'm not a big fan of green, but the only green car I've ever done is that exact same color Thanks,

Chris, It looks great. Nice Build. I absolutely LOVE that color. Thanks,

Chris, did you finish the GTO? I'm catching up but I haven't seen it. Thanks,

Honestly, I love it. For been a 25 million people city, (YES, 25 million) other than traffic, it is a beautiful city. It has been raining for a while so even pollution was down. Plus the people is great. I have many good friends. And the food is GREAT!!!! This was the best trip there to date. It was very nice. But I didn't have time to look for a hobby shop Thanks,

Hello, Back home and instead of unloading the luggage I asked "Any packages for me?" Waiting for me were my 2 C6-Rs and my Cobra Colors order for Atomic Orange, Moon Mud primer and clear. Glad to be back. Can't wait to get back to the workbench... Thanks,

That is really sweet. Very nice build! I've always liked those LeMans/IMSA prototypes. Thanks,

That is gorgeous! Very nice build! Can't wait to start on mine..... Thanks,

That's a very nice looking Chopper Joe! Those kits are very popular. It seems Revell has a winner there. Thanks,

Hello, The list can be extensive but mostly of current builders. Is Gerald Wingrove still around? I have his book (Complete Car Modeller) and it is inspiring. Thanks,

I'm the first in line, but unfortunately, on Revell, not on a GM dealer That is sooooo sweeet looking. But of course, I may be biased..... hmmmm....... How about a putting a Revell Z06 and a C6R to the mercy of a #11 blade and putty?.......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Just what I needed: Another project idea and I'm not even in the country..... I'm shaking you know..... Thanks,

Ken, I totally agree with Bob. I did build the Revell many years ago, but I was just a kid The Revell Magnum kit is not the best in terms of fit and accuracy. It seems to be a mix of a GTB (interiors, roof) a GTS (side louvers) and early prototypes (back bumper?). To me it also looks to be a tad smaller than the advertised 1/24 scale. Working features like the opening headlights and opening hatch makes it flimsy and fit is not the best. I have both the Revell and the Monogram and I decided to go with the Monogram one. Thanks,

Jeff, That is very nice! I always liked the looks of those cars. I remember building the Testor's one a gazillion years ago when I was a kid without even painting anything.... Thanks,

Looking good Terry! Mine is still in primer. It should start getting color as soon as I get back. Thanks,

Hello, Cobra Colors just released the availabiltiy of Atomic Orange paint. This is the new orange in Corvettes, replacing Daytona Sunset Orange. Of course I already ordered mine Check it and many more at cobracolors.com Thanks,

Len, It is a Sherline. I believe it is a 4100 but I'm not sure since it was originally sold under the SEARS Craftsman brand. Thanks, Ismael
