Hello, Modeling time has been very Very VERY limited these days. I drew some Bose premium speakers in my computer and printed them. Anti-bling doesn't mean no sound system. I gotta have my Van Halen...... Thanks,

Nice job on a beautiful car! Thanks,

Hello, I'm sorry to inform there will be NO promos in 2008. I was inquiring yesterday about the 2008 Indy Pace car but my promo guru/dealer came back today with the bad news after inquiring to the manufacturers. There are however plans to have 2009 promos done, so I still hope to see 2008 Indy Pace cars. Thanks,

Simply WOW! but that's what we were expecting When I grow up I want to be like you I love your builds so much I may even try a Nascar soon. Thanks for the inspiration! Thanks,

dah, dah, ehh I'm trying to comment but I can't find the right words It looks GREAT! but.... 3 days? WOW! It takes me that long to put maybe 2 coats of color! darn it, now I want to dig mine out, which has been in primer for over 1 year Nice job... Thanks,

John, I have just updated my dictionary. These pictures appear now as the definition of "ELEGANCE". What a gorgeous car! The lines are so beautiful. I don't know anything about the color options of them but yours is great. Nice job! Thanks,

Hello, Among many other things, I'm always on the lookout for cheap (read FREE) sources of styrene like plates, products packaging etc. I also keep an eye for any scrapped aluminum that may be used in the lathe. Plus any other item that may ring a bell at the moment: Hmmm this could be used for...... Thanks,

Hello, Work, Family and life in general have a conspiracy against the hobby. Workbench time has been very limited in the last few weeks and it seems it will only get worst. FINALLY!!!! The first color is on. Photographing white models is a real challenge. It is really white but it looks washed in the pics. Anyway, most of the car will be green. Cobra Colors Arctic white, Cobra Colors clear. By the time I get a chance to work with the green, it will be really dry. Thanks,

Shhh, yes I know. I'm trying to source it locally but no luck so far. I'll even put it back in these jars

Len, That's a gorgeous color combo! A clean nice build. The Z06 wheels look great as well as the underside. Great job! Thanks,

Very VERY nice! Great job! That color scheme works very well on that car. Welcome aboard and hope to see more from you! Thanks,

Dash pretty much done. Too bad most of this will not be seen. Thanks,

Hi, I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard Camel Yellow is closer to the Millenium Yellow used in C5Rs. C6Rs are Velocity Yellow which is a hint lighter and less "orangy". As Mal mentioned I've heard Chrome Yellow to be an alternative, but again, I haven't done that myself. HTH Thanks,

Hi, After 2 years in denial thinking it would never happen, it did. I ran out of Cobra Colors Clear A minute of silence please Yeah, I know there are many other alternatives out there (I have several already), but this was more than just a great product... Thanks,

Hello, Remember this quick project? Well, it's been about 6 months since it was touched. I couldn't resist and added the 2 tone dark red in the interior. The interior will most likely not be seen at all so I won't go crazy with it. Thanks,

He's BAAaaack!!!! I'm blessed to count Luis as a personal close friend. We met yesterday for lunch and guess what we talked about Things are starting to shape up so expect great things from him in the future. He is not only a very talented builder, but his dedication and passion for promoting the hobby have make him an ambassador worth of admiration! ...yet I still can't decal and clear like him... darn it! Thanks,

Great projects Fred! They are all very cool, especially the Modena. I hope to see them soon. Saludos,

Great race! Great battles! Great finish in GT2 bumper to bumper 1st to 3rd! a GREAT race event! But the broadcast, well....... Thanks,

Hello, I have a '69 Camaro Pace Car kit for a future build. The correct color is Dover white. I have some Arctic White left from this project. Would it work for a '69 Camaro Pace Car? Or is it too bright a white? Yes, I know MCW has Dover white but I thought of asking first before ordering it. Thanks,

Danica has finally won race: The Indy Japan 300 on the Twin Ring Motegi oval in Japan!!!!! I guess this picture says it all! You Go girl!!!

Hello, First a disclaimer: I hope this post doesn't infringe into the copyright territory. If it does, please let me know so it can be removed. Discussing the Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport kit on another thread, an older Scale Auto Enthusiast issue was mentioned dating back from 1995. I realized I do have older modeling magazines somewhere. So after some digging I found I had a couple of these dating from late 80's to mid '90s! It was like finding brand new magazines all over. I had forgotten about this 1987 special Corvette issue. What a great magazine! It even has an article on the Corvette GTP and as you know I just finished a model of that car. By that time the only GTP model available was in 1/43. The article includes a "pit pass" with reference pics of the car but most importantly, a comprehensive list of parts of the car with their respective colors and paint suggestions i.e. Transmission case: Pactra Steel Gary Schmidt had it right. Gregg, thanks for carrying the torch! Thanks,

Thanks for the lead Bill! As soon as you mentioned it I remembered seeing it, so I started digging... Remember these binders? Mike, that's a very nice article and a great build. I can't believe that kit is already 13 years old! Thanks,

That's exactly what I love about this place. I enjoy seeing a great project unfold regardless of subject. And who knows, maybe it may spark the interest in that subject. I'd like to see more on how you do the hinges. I have the general idea but my attempts have not been the most successful. Thanks,

WOHOO!! Well, there goes my new year's resolution of not buying much this year... Wait, there also goes my children's college fund!!! ) All the Ferraris are cool but also the RX-3! Bring 'em on!

Great job my friend! That's my favorite generation Miata. Thanks,
