Respectfully, I decline to answer any questions.

I bought one of the cheap Chinese ones. It was my first experience using a lathe and I have very little experience with it. I did disassemble and reassemble it and made a few small improvements like adding a quick change tool post. At one point I managed to jam it and blew something in the electronics.? I had a millwright buddy take a look at it and we were unable to pinpoint the defective part. And there it sits.? If I ever come across a used Unimat or Sherline at a decent price I’ll grab it. Edit: I know Little Machine Shop and others sell replacement parts…I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

That’s not how a real one looks.? It almost looks like the hood needs to be narrowed some??

I think I saw someone buy that on “storeage wars” for like $100. ?

That is the way I do it too, although usually airbrushed. Wheel openings, head/taillight buckets and grill openings first…then bottom up. It just seems natural. I’ve had bad paint jobs, but never any runs.

Nice build! Those wheels look good on it.?

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work!?

Fantastic work all around Tom ! The chassis looks amazing with all that plumbing under there.?

It’s looking very cool!?

I really like that dark metallic blue on it….gives it a slightly sinister look.?

My wife is supportive, but when I’ve showed her pictures of HUGE collections, I kinda get the stink-eye….as in don’t even go there!? I still like to show them to her now and again to illustrate how frugal I am.?

It’s coming along nicely. Great work on the fuel cells.?

This is a nice kit, and your detailing so far looks great.?

Looks great. That is almost the exact color I am painting my ‘56 T Bird.?

Great work adapting all the bits and pieces Scott…and that paint job is absolutely beautiful !??

Very classy looking body styling on this one.?

Great work Jim! You and Len are getting those front ends looking a lot better. I haven’t used it, but for the fender welting, BMF makes a black foil that may work? One thing that bothers me about this kit is the center nose piece between the grills is way too wide…not an easy fix though.?. I can’t wait to get home next week and dig my kit out for a look.?

Looking real good Will !? This is my favourite Mustang body style.?

Noob is what we all were at some period.

The “Groundhog Day” of the modeling world.?

My wife loves Mustangs and appreciates most muscle cars and hotrods. She thinks I have too many kits (at around 100?) because I’ll never build them all (I’ll show her?). But she likely figures that it’s the lesser of many evils? Like CaddyDaddy, if I show her some (in my mind) great achievement, I’ll get a “that’s nice” or an “Oh, Ok…”?.

Food for thought should be savoured.

There goes my appetite.?

Funny,…as I was reading Bills post, I was thinking that you wil probably be able to order a “Mr. Fusion” retro-fit kit from Amazon.?

The instructions are missing, so you have to download them on your PC in the house. You don’t have a printer, so you have to memorize the next step and then run out to the garage where the wife lets you build.?
