ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER POLL.
scalebuilder forum from Puerto Rico.
Please help us pick the peoples choice for the model of the year.
These are a collection of all 1st place finishers for every month
last year. Now from the best 12, we want you to pick your favorite.
We are all friends in this group and will appreciate your comments.
Some of our builds are from the very experienced to the ones that are just starting.
The way every one here had a chance to make the list was thatt not only it was based
on finished product but also just the fact that it was a model finished at the end of the month.
This was done to promote more builder to start in the hobby and to keep us motivated.
Just make in the list it was a great acomplishment since the amount of talent in our little group
is great.
Gracias al grupo de SCALEBUILDERS en Puerto Rico and
Thanks to all our friends
here in Model cars Forum, for helping us pic the model of the year
It's was a great year building cars.

Now.....
I want to convert it like this one
I started to do some reserch. and I already found an illustration on the wing
I will like to ask here if anyone knows if thir is a company that makes resin parts
for this, before I start to do scratch build parts. I WANT ALSO THE RACING NOSE.
Thank You for your help.
I was looking one day at a japanesse lady building a gt40 with her husband
and it showed me that girls can kick bud in model building too.
I have a 5 year old girl that sits beside me in my bench and does her work
I give her an old body and a brush and she has a great time.
she does nor get up untill she finishes painting, she really likes it.
and also she does not get bored sanding ether. Let's see
but I know girls can do it, they just need to know that this hobby
dominated by tetastorone is open for ladies.
Talking about bugs...did anyone read in the new issu of Hot Rod
the reconstruction of the original lightning bug? interesting.
I grew up watching the former lightning bug racing in Puerto Rico
under Diego Febles care. Good memories of that classic gasser.

I am almost done with the main mods, hopefully in my days off I can
do the rear, wing, and back flairs. can't wait to spray some orange.
Make sure is low and mean.
I have done a bunch of these and for the most part
the shell is must of the time warped. and I hate that.
A blow dryer, heats the plastic enoff to make it bend
and it cools off strait. love the wheels.
