I was on Flickr, but because I violated terms, my 12,000+ photo collection was vaporized without warning. Which destroyed my posts on the Chevy pickup forum. My Route 66 album was awesome. I haven't found a site that compares to that one, so will watch this thread.

I'm 61, so have seniority on being grouchy. So many other factors have created dysfunctional families. I watched my (now ex) girlfriend try everything to please her daughter, to no avail, some people are just conditioned to be snowflakes. Enjoy your life, long as you aren't doing actual harm to others, carry on. I'm getting there about being turned off by some of the vehicles people create. I bet some are lotto winners. Same people aren't effected by the war on fossil fuel. I know this isn't sustainable, enjoy the ride while it lasts. 'Merica ??

$280,000, that's insane! I left this comment on the video: I put 4 point belts in my teeny tiny engined MINI Cooper S when I did track time, thought I should wear them all the time, because if I got in an accident wearing just the OEM belts and died, I would kill myself for not wearing them. Got really used to the security, didn't care if it looked neerdy. Much respect for anyone building such a car, and being honest.

Thank you everyone! ? Thank you for the emblems, that made a HUGE improvement! Since I took these pictures, have added some detail, and now I'm trying to control my OCD about fixing things, because I know when I start trying to fix something it gets worse. Improved the trunk handle, gloss painted the c-f fender guards, added tow hooks. I'm not happy with the gap under the headrests, working on that. Not happy with the windshield, but will let that go. The sun visors are too big, no way that would work with the steering wheel, possible to make smaller. Needs a radar detector. Anyway, when I'm finally satisfied, will take glamor studio pictures and post here.

Cool subject and well done! -
Monogram Ferrari 308 GTB Racer
89AKurt replied to JTalmage's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
I've built a few of these Monogram kits, but didn't know one this existed. You did a great job on it (too bad the wheels are 6 spokes). -
I have 2 of those kits, one will be in a diorama as a barn find. Look forward to seeing how this goes together.

1961 Mercedes Benz 190SL - Revell with a few modifications
89AKurt replied to 89AKurt's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Sorry, thought of something else, tow hooks. Easy to make, drill the hole first with at least 2 MM of plastic all around, then sand down around the outside to get the delicate size, airbrushed red. Every time I post pictures, I see blemishes that should get fixed. -
I've built one of those ES 365 kits, everyone should do one. Came out great!

1961 Mercedes Benz 190SL - Revell with a few modifications
89AKurt replied to 89AKurt's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Famous last words "done" or "finished". For starters, here are the parts not being used. Debating on the hood pins. Could do c-f decals on that top. The fire extinguisher has 3 decals, and there were the E and the ⚠️electrical shutoff, which is the photo-etch from the Ferrari 250LM build, which is where a windshield wiper would be mounted. Wire and nut at the other wiper mount. Stop me now..... ? Found in the parts box, the driving lights that came from a Fujimi Porsche 356 kit. Added a little clear deflector at the driver's A-pillar. Now am I done? ? -
Thank you, sort of Cobraized it, minus the side pipes.
