  1. Thanks Rex, this is the first I have seen of these. Now I am wondering if the bodies are different for #96 and #16? Just checked eBay and from the photos they all look to have the same bodies, just different decals.
  2. JC, I will pass along your comment. He did not provide me with any engine bay photos so I don't really know if he has taken any. Gary
  3. Nicely done.
  4. Thanks for posting the pictures Bill. Wish I could have been there.
  5. I like what you have done with the 2F. Very nice.
  6. Really super craftsmanship and to know you used available objects tailored to you needs is encouraging to us all.
  7. I am posting this Cobra on behalf of Scott Kercher. The model and photos are by Scott and he is known for his very authentic builds. This model is of the FIA Cobra raced in the 1964 Targa Florio by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant. Scott started with the Revell slot car body and stretched an AMT Cobra chassis to fit. He opened and hinged the hood and added the bumps in the trunk lid, created to allow the required FIA suitcase to fit inside, front of rear fender flairs were rounded a bit to match the prototype. He added an Amt engine with Monogram heads and scratched built the headers. The interior is comprised of a scratched dash with The Wizard's "O"s bezels, Monogram side panels with the Amt tunnel, scratched "Gurney" seat. The paint is Duplicolor Viking Blue, Replica' and Miniatures Halibrands, VRM decals, Monogram Goodyears, and scratched jack points.
  8. Got it now and see what you meant, that is strange.
  9. The early GTOs only had 2 side vents behind the front wheels so Aurora got a it right. When this kit was introduced it was such great kit with lots of detail through out but then the reality of the body proportions set in. I took the body off and put the Revell slot body on the stretched chassis instead.
  10. Congratulations and well deserved. It has very impressive details all over the place.
  11. You wouldn't need a step ladder to get in, you could just walk up the treads.
  12. Super nice indeed. The attention to detail is remarkable. The clock on the wall is a great idea. I agree that when in operation the room is off limits.
  13. Thanks Rick for the response.
  14. Very impressive workmanship. Look forward to more progress posts.
  15. The shadow of the tree adds another dimension to the photo. The scooter is a nice touch too.
  16. Oh now that is one sweet IH. Who makes it?
  17. Another trip to Rite Aid to pick up prescriptions and another Welly Porsche for $9.99. This is a 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder and the interior detail is outstanding.
  18. Very well done all the way around, car, figures, and scene.
  19. Superb pictures!
  20. A Man and A Woman, 1965. GT40s, rally Mustangs, really great score, what's not to like.
  21. Sweet build indeed. I like the way the color came out.
  22. The tag says Tamiya.
  23. Nicely done. What caught my eye were the tools in the tool box.

    I was at Rite Aid and they had the buy one get a second for 50% off so I bought a Volkswagen Beetle and another 64 1/2 Mustang coupe.
  25. Looking really good. Especially the pealing paint around the front wheel wells is a nice touch.
