Thanks for verifying that Gerry.? And thanks for the pics everyone.

That’s funny….how does he get the local news on his tape deck??

I don’t have one, but here is a google search of the forum: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amodelcarsmag.com+cricut+cutter&ei=M-gaZMLUCL_KkPIP8NWygAw&ved=0ahUKEwiCutmMue_9AhU_JUQIHfCqDMAQ4dUDCA4&oq=site%3Amodelcarsmag.com+cricut+cutter&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQDEoECEEYAVCJB1jUFWC_H2gBcAB4AIABhQGIAbMFkgEDNi4xmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

Up came my lunch when the plane went down.

Roger was definitely among the most talented builders here. My condolences to his family. RIP.

Shades is what cool dudes call their sunglasses.

Know this my friends…although I’m no contest winner, I try with ALMOST every build, to equal or surpass my previous attempts.?

Asphalt in July can be too hot for bare feet.

Thanks for the pics Gerry. I was specifically wondering if the cam covers were ever available without the “Corvette” logo. I think I will file it off anyway and pretend they are aftermarket pieces, since the lettering is flawed on one of them.?

I take it these engines only came in Corvettes since every picture I have googled has the logo on the cam covers? I picked up a Monogram’95 ZR-1 for the engine, but don’t know what to put it in yet. I want to dress it up slightly so I am going to wire it and paint the cam covers at least. I found this site that has some ideas.? If anyone has pics of one they built up please post a picture. http://zr1specialist.com/HAT Web/products/Engine Refinishing.htm

It does look great Andy.? I hope you get back to 100%.

Great looking Lotus and a fantastic background!?

Fabulous looking build, especially for one day…it takes me longer than that to decide on a color.

I’m not into later ‘Vettes…but that does look beautiful!?

Well done Jeremy. It turned out real nice!?

Birdie is one under par which is something I’ve never gotten while playing golf.

Nice. Is that this Heller kit?

Looks great Eran!?

And you can make your own headlight lens like I show in this thread. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/161380-making-headlights/#comment-2452680

By far the best bits I have are the GodHand ones. The Vallejo ones in the orange case are also very good. The carbide/tungsten PC board drill bits in the bottom two cases are sharp and accurate, but extremely brittle!? Smaller ones like I needed for plug wires didn’t last long. Better to spend a bit more and get decent ones. The pin vise on the left and the drill in the center are nice (from a local HS). The one on the right I bought online real cheap….but it has a huge collet on it making it less desirable. The drill bits that came with the cheap one would not even drill plastic.? I also bought a real cheap set of four pin vises at a local HS, but they would not even hold a drill bit straight inline with the handle.…I threw them away!?

So, a reply that one submits can only be edited before the next poster responds, and NOT after….if someone responds while you are editing, kindly put your sentence back to original.?

I like the looks of those springs and the very methodical approach you used to fabricate them.?

Congrats Bill!? When I first joined, I looked at some peoples post counts and wondered how the heck anyone could have thousands of posts? Do they have any time to build anything!?

Do you just sit there poised at your keyboard waiting for me to start typing a response that you ultimately make me edit??
