    That looks beautiful! Fantastic job on that kit. I'd like to do one myself.
  3. Hello, It's only been 3 years since I started on this I was not happy with the original cockpit. It was too small and looked out of scale. The one I did was also too small. So I started to look around to see of I could find something much bigger that would work. I was dreaming to find something like an F-16 canopy that would fit but had no luck. At the end I started scratchbuilding my own. This is where I am now. I started using clear plastic with high hopes but it is evident it will not be fully clear due to cracks, sanding marks and glue residue. Still in the rough but the basic shape is there. I may just paint it gloss black but haven't got to that point yet. I hope the next update will not take another 3 years Thanks,
  4. MURPHY'S LAW SETBACK This project got from slow to slower. As you know I've been carefully working on these wheels for weeks, maybe months now. Four wheels, casted as solid pieces, 14 openings each, for a total of 56 openings. These wheels were from an experiment done a decade ago and there is no Plan B. As per Murphy's law, while working opening #55 out of 56... BOOM! Two broken spokes! After a few un-publishable words, I finished all openings before tackling the repair. Still a bit more tweaking to do but slowly getting there. Thanks,
  5. Coming out exquisitely beautiful!
  6. Looking good!

    Looking good. I'm thinking about getting this kit myself. If I ever do something with an Eff Ou Are Dee emblem, this would be it.
  8. Hello, There are countless hours of work in this picture. The first 2 in primer have all openings done, but need some additional cleanup and trimming. The one in progress has been a bit stubborn and the last one has not been touched yet. Working very slowly as there is no plan B. Thanks,
  9. Hello William, My "official" photos for the Under Glass section, mag articles and some of the workbench section are shot with Pentax DSLRs. Mostly a K100DS or K5 Mark II. For scale models I usually run a 50mm f1.7 prime lens. For this particular thread, most have been with a Fuji F600EXR point and shoot. But regardless of the camera, I use manual settings. Surprisingly, some of the pics in my other threads have been with my cell phone, but again in manual mode to control the settings. Photography happens to be one of my great passions. I'm actually running a small photography side business. With this hobby I get to enjoy both! Thanks,
  10. Nice and menacing looking! Great job!
  11. Beautiful work! Gotta love those long tails!
  12. Love it! The not so usual color combo is beautiful!
  13. Awesome job! Can't deny the VW bug family DNA.

    Junk.

    Really really great job!
  16. Nice!
  17. Love it! Thanks!
  18. I want to drive the Charmander Reventon with flames out of the tailpipe! Maybe a color similar to McLaren orange? Sorry Dann, I'll stop now. This is too funny I'm not into Pokemon. This is all my son's fault.
  19. Cool! A well done iconic classic!
  20. Looking good! One of my favorite race cars from my favorite racing series. Will follow closely! Thanks,
  21. Who would have known that the Reventon is a Pokemon! For those familiar with Pokemon, imagine the voice of Ash yelling "Reventon! I choose you" Sorry, couldn't resist
  22. It will help. I did that with mine. You need to go slowly. Don't rush it. After cutting, some cleanup and fine sanding will finish it. If it helps, you can check the workbench thread on mine. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/117667-corvette-c7r-daytona-winner/ Thanks,
  23. Nice car! I see you already built one, but make sure it fits properly. The windows and the engine top were causing mine not to sit properly. Thanks,
  24. Danny! Nice to see you again! Good job on this one!
  25. That color suits the car really well. Well done!
