  1. Well not exactly all in one day, more like this month. Front to back. BBurago Renault Alpine 1600S, Welly Corvette, Leo Models Renault Alpine 1600S, Atlas Tatrans 125 S scooter, Hallmark Honda CB 750 and a Atlas BMW R32.
  2. I like the looks of what you did and appreciate the description of your methods.
  3. I have had my eye on that bicycle now for a couple of weeks. Looking forward to how you will finish it.
  4. Nicely done indeed. The result is super.
  5. The 2018 Hallmark motorcycle ornament is a 1969 Honda CB750. IMO it is very nice and affordable.
  6. Oh yes, I like where this is going. Such a great theme.
  7. Very nicely done.
  8. Thank you Christian for the links and the background information. I am a frequent visitor to diecast24blogspot and can highly recommend it and the links which they post there. So far most of my purchases have come from eBay and are from China or France with and without the brochures but the prices on Journax seem very reasonable depending on shipping of course. It is interesting to note that they have listed the Le Grandi Ferraris. Some of these are now being issued as BBurago fortunately. I have the Dino, SWB, TDF, and Daytona competition #22 in the BBurago releases. I thought at first the Daytona was just a poor decal job but then discovered it is actually pretty accurate for the 1970 Daytona entry, except for the wheels which need more offset. One other thing to be aware of is diecast coming from Europe now have a child safety screw in the base. It is a screw head with a triangle indentation instead of the Phillips or straight head screw and can be a bear to unscrew. EU safety screwdrivers are available if you are going to be ordering frequently.
  9. Outstanding! You are to be congratulated for your imagination, craftmanship, and the inspiration you provide to us all.
  10. Oh what a sweet build. I built one as the Le Mans white #17. Thanks for sharing the photos.
  11. Very well done, congratulations on a super build.
  12. Thank you Bob for the info.
  13. Mike Quarterman just told me that resin casters Paul Fisher of Fisher Models and Joe Vondracek of Quikskins have lost everything in the California fires except for their lives.
  14. I like the way this is going and the interior is looking really good.
  15. Is this build going to cause friction in the Cobra cabinet? Actually with all the replica fiberglass bodies floating around I would be surprised if one did not end up on an old Bronco chassis.
  16. Nicely done.
  17. My collection envelope is more in the 50s and 60s but these are very tempting. Nice job on the Welly.
  18. I don't know what else to call it but gorgeous.
  19. Really looking good, I love these saves. Please keep us posted.
  20. Thank you for the link Pat.
  21. Rarely do I see these built up and you have taken it to another level.
  22. It really looks great, nice job.
  23. OK, I found the Fujimi Garage Set #3 on eBay with the vintage looking bicycle. I also found on Shapeways a WWII era bike. I am interested in the vintage bicycles. Sorry did not want to highjack your thread with bicycles but I do appreciate your help.
