  1. Another beautiful build, good sir. Your craftsmanship never disappoints.
  2. That’s awesome. Great detail on the truck, almost seems a shame to cover it up with mud and dirt, but it works. Great diorama all the way around.
  3. Beautiful detail work.
  4. -The more BMF a model requires, the better it works. When a model needs minimal BMF the foil gives you fits.
  5. I’ve been avidly playing this silly game for 15 years (and still no stranger to the occasional Mulligan). Philosophically speaking, fudging the score hurts himself more than his counterparts. How will he know if he’s improving if he keeps an inaccurate score? Is there even any motivation to improve if he feels he can manipulate the scorecard? I feel he’s mostly cheating himself until league play or skins are in the equation. In that scenario, I feel like he should be confronted, tactfully and respectfully. Unfortunately, we are still judged by the company we keep. That’s my 2 cents anyways.
  6. Gorgeous!
  7. May not be OOB but it is certainly outside the box. Really sharp build all the way around. I applaud the imagination and the skill to pull it off. Also, I love those wheels.
  8. That’s a neat little show rod. Great work all the way around. Extra sprinkles please....
  9. Fine piece of work.
  10. For my money, it doesn’t get any better than a gen 2 Charger. Yours is a beautiful representation. Great color choice.
  11. Looks great! I’ve been itching to put a vinyl top on something. When I find the right candidate, I hope it turns out close to as good as yours.
  12. You are absolutely right about the spots on the wheels. Normally I would cut them from the sprues before painting. I took a short-cut and regret it. After I cut them from the sprue upon drying, I realized I had nary a drop of Big Bad Blue with which to touch up the bare spots. I used a semi-gloss clear because I wasn’t trying to build a show truck. We share the same theory there, my friend. As for choosing not to wet sand it out, I make no excuses, that was pure laziness on my part. Something I also regret. I always appreciate constructive tips, pointers and criticism, Christian. How else will we grow or continue to improve our builds? Thank you for taking the time to do so. ?
  13. Very deft touch with all that hand-painted chrome work. I especially love the ‘60 Lincoln resto job. They all look great.
  14. I’ve been meaning to pick up this kit for nostalgia purposes. Growing up in rural Virginia you couldn’t throw a dead cat in the high school parking lot w/o hitting a jacked-up, late 70s gmc/chevy. None of em looked as good as your representation, though. Very nice detail work.
  15. Threads like this one are why I dig this forum. Great salvage job, Snake.
  16. Really clean, classy build. I appreciate the perfect match of Mopar engine turquoise on the motor. Did you mix that yourself?
  17. Dark colors, gold accents and Mustangs go together like chocolate and peanut butter. And this one is a beautiful example.
  18. Really sharp looking Nova. I like the stance and color combo alot.
  19. Fine looking wagon indeed. Love the triple white.
  20. Great looking Lincoln!
  21. Wow. Man, you’re paint jobs ain’t no joke. That is flat-out gorgeous.
  22. Really fine build. I really dig the exterior/interior color combo.
  23. Nice. I love the look of those mid-60s Rivieras. Great color too!
  24. One fine looking Impala!
