  1. Just wanted to thank you, and everyone else, for inspiring me to clean up my ghetto pig pen! Took this picture yesterday, before putting the mess-laneous into containers, so I could actually see the bench, which is a bathroom Formica countertop. It was not firmly attached to the walls, had sticks propping up the edge, things tended to roll into my lap. I also raised it 2 inches, to reduce slouching. But the big thing, getting the toolbox off to clear up some real estate. I used the stud finder, and made sure longer screws went into the studs for the cleats. I added two little shelves, one below and the other to my left. Got some same size cigar boxes today, so I can store junk. Next is clearing off the bookshelves to the right, and making it useful. This won't last two seconds once I resume the current project, all the tools will get dumped on the bench, but will have 3 times the area. Better shot of the chair, my grandma had it, but it fell over too many times, and needed repair. So it still looks ghetto. ?
  2. Interesting, figured some of you would know the history of this kit.
  3. Wow, that's complete! Hardly see those Cannoball C.O.E., especially the bigger ones. ? 1930 Indian motorcycle $42,000! ?
  4. Congratulations! Does the contest have a webpage that will have photos?
  5. That Martini Karman Ghia looks like incredible craftsmanship. Rommel's Rod amused me. Thanks for sharing!
  6. I built the Corvette last century. The back wheels ended up on a Porsche. Tractor pullers remind me of these.
  7. Totally impressed! You spent a bunch of time and thought on this. You better be good at figures too, otherwise could be a distraction.
  8. Hobby Search: 1966 American Coupe TypeC w/Blond Girls Figure (Model Car) ~pssst~ it's a CADILLAC! Don't let GM lawyers find out. I did a quick search, Johan originally popped this? Saw a 4 door resin under glass.
  9. Dang, not just any awards, but best of the bunch, WOW! Nice looking plaques too.
  10. Thanks, shiny American muscle is always the favorite. ?
  11. Thinking outside the box, I'm always amazed these creations run. But I'm not a mechanic. I saw this a few weeks ago, talk about a box.
  12. Welcome! I got the picture of the '32 only for selfish reasons. ? My drive was a little longer because the GPS instructions messed me up at the I-10/51 spaghetti.
  13. I didn't have anything to do with it! ? Porsche 904, and the Ferrari is my priority. ?
  14. Link to Modelzona results with photos. *EDIT* Never mind, last year.
  15. Thank you sir! Competition was tough, not an easy task to judge. Aerovette was just to fill space, so not disappointed.
  16. I swear we have the same chair! Mine has fallen over and been repaired with steel reinforcement. Here is my dedicated model closets, part of my office. The workbench, that's a little less cluttered than current state. I really need to ditch that toolbox, make some cubby holes. I'm thinking of relocating the bench up a few inches, so I'm not slouching so much. Paint booth, just big enough for a bench, compressor, and the chair. Need to declutter that too, and wipe down all surfaces.
  17. Sorry to hear that my friend. One more picture, plane was done with Bare Metal Foil, I think a few sheets were used. ?
  18. No kidding, I've learned that over the years! For example, try finding this kit, which could work just as well. It would be even better, if there is a Syncro (AWD) to stitch underneath.
  19. I have that kit. After watching the video, makes me want to move ahead of the Audi Quattro. *maybe* Look forward to watching this build.
  20. spiced aftershave, smelling
