    I decided I wanted an all white Bronco but after wasting my time and gas searching area Wally Worlds I bit the bullet and ordered from Amazon. Next day here we go. I think it makes a pretty neat tow vehicle.

    Trevor - the ends come in various shapes but most have ball on one end which I have found useful. Surprisingly better than fine brushes. This is the link where I got mine. 8/20 PCS Nail Art Design Dotting Painting Drawing Polish Brush Pen Tools Acrylic | eBay

    A friend recommended the sticks used in fingernail painting as being handy for gluing and painting tiny features. He was right, much better than toothpicks. As we get older, and the shakes and tremors set in you need to find something to hold our model so you can use both hands. It is especially hard when working on the front or back of the model when you can't lay it on its side. I discovered using an empty tissue box works pretty darn well.

    Thank you Rick for posting this article. I do have the Sports Car Graphic but had forgotten about the article. When I post the under glass thread I will add more detail on the development of the MK 6 GT and its impact on the GT40.

    Really looking forward to tomorrow and the photos of the completed project. The teasers sure look good.

    '64 roadsters are pretty rare so I am glad you were able to rescue it and share it with us.

    Fortunately I was able to repair the spindle by replacing the missing rod. Everything is attached and works in the model from the steering wheel to the drop link to the spindle and to the tie rod, wow.

    The simple answer is. Details will follow.

    Was able to get a little more done. Still need to do the tiny stuff and finish off the windows. Just noticed because the body is not attached to the chassis yet the stance is not correct and the gap between the body and chassis will be fixed.

    The cobwebs were included at no extra cost.

    Just bought a 1928 Stutz Black Hawk from the Danbury Mint in 1/24 scale. I already had one that I had converted to the 1928 Le Mans entry #1 but it was missing a few parts and thought this cheap model would supply what I was missing. Now that I see it I have decided just to leave it as a barn find model.

    Now that is a good looking model Peugeot. Motormax has been doing some interesting things lately.

    Nicely done Rex and thanks for posting the pictures. I literally had the one I am working on in my hand when your posting came in.

    Nice collection there. The Nomad is my favorite.

    Very impressive build and I am glad you posted your photos.

    Back to the Lola. After 3 failed attempts to lay down a straight racing stripe with some decal paper and failing t was time to break out my old Badger 100, some tape and go for it. Should have done this in the first place. Duh!!!

    Glad to see this brought back up again.

    I have 2 J Cars in the pipeline. A 1/25 MPC (formerly clear body) and a modified 1/24 Strombecker slot body. Thanks for posting some inspiration.

    Oh those are super and the detail appears to be pretty special.
  22. Gramps46
    Two really good finds.
  23. Gramps46
    So you two have hooked up. Something in common other than my basement. ?

    Might be the first Hot Wheels I ever bought for myself.

    If you are going to use the old decals I have found the hard way that it is best to spray them with a fixative or copy them onto new plain white decal paper. Looking forward to your progress.
