89AKurt

On a hike today in Granite Dells. I've been getting lazy, all I could do to put 6 miles in. ?

having a party

On 89 north of Prescott. No idea what this armored car is, but it's a long way from Chicago.

Dredging up this WIP because I got the Fireball Modelworks parts that I ordered for this project. The MPC carb is a lump of garbage, had it glued in with Titebond so it could easily be removed. Didn't want to ruin the beautiful part, made a standoff out of a radio antenna tube, so I could remove the air cleaner. Did I ever say I hate brush painting? Gloss black base for the AK Interactive chrome. Got the chrome done, and semi-gloss black. I had commandeered the 48" jack from another WIP, this is the 60" Farm Jack, changed my mind to paint it black. Hammered shirt pins into the block of wood, then snipped off the heads, for the painting jig. Painted the Holley carb with Splash paints aluminum. Added a wire for the throttle linkage, but that's as far as I'm going! Got the wire at GSL, so I got the weatherstrip done for the back window. Since the brush guard had broken off en route to GSL, added some angle to the bottom. Now I can declare it is done! When I go to Sedona, or better yet Monument Valley, I'm taking this for more glamor photos.

My order from Fireball Modelworks came yesterday, Joseph is up and running after his move.

I built that too long ago, so of course I love it! Plug wires were fun, eh?

on leaked documents

I just picked up a kit, because I saw your WIP. Came out very cool. ?

I have a soft spot for COE Cannonball trucks! Look forward to seeing what you do with this.

I have spaced getting pics downloaded much less posted....... my haul from GSL. I sold more kits than I bought. Thought I might as well get the 500K, it's the first Johan I ever got, believe it or not. Never seen the Lexus before at swaps, got the second one, just for the engine. The Soarer was part of the deal, plan to unload that. Got the Porsche 550 A 1500 RS Spyder resin during the auction, I need to learn what that is! Can't have enough paint or wires. I better not do that..... ?

watch the heels

enough for diving

Well deserved!

History Hits: NASA’s Hot-Rodded Pontiac Convertible Wouldn't that make a cool diorama?

Handmade, like a model, only full size!

Inspirational!

Model Factory Hiro large scale costs about that. What one item would cost $7K today?

Since I butchered the Monogram kit, I noticed the attention to details. Very well done! The leather straps are a nice touch.

I feel like digging out the kit (and engine) from my stash and look at it, thanks. ?

Thank you! Good to see you at the shows, and help me with the parking routine.

trying to think

Glad to have met you! That was a tough class.

Pleased to say this received 3rd place in the Specialty category at GSL! Stopped at Paria ghost town for some glamor shots, to finish off this build (unless I add something, also note the bumper guard had fallen off, and it still got an award).

no more bungee

Your effort is appreciated!
