  1. LOL. No beers, but plenty of choice words, especially when I was moving it into place and dragged it across my toes...
  2. $159 plus 2 hours of your life assembling.
  3. ? that’s the stuff of dreams, right there! ❤️❤️❤️
  4. I’m determined to get organized. Grabbed this at ikea. One drawer for each ongoing project: Ferrari F40, Porsche 962, Miura, 500SL, GT3, DTM Audi, and DTM C63... plus two drawers for paint cans.
  5. It’s the easiest way in my option... cleanup is the worst part. I’m excited to see this!
  6. Hopefully life slows a bit for both of us. I'm anxious to get moving on the models and even more anxious to see what you do with a color on the Pagani Huayra.
  7. Indeed. I really need to move all my cars forward, but I keep getting distracted. Yesterday was paint day so I did a lot of spraying of 4 cars. Part of last week was spend dealing with a screw in my tire and the previous week was rebuilding the dryer so laundry could get finished. Life keeps getting in the way of hobbies. Thank you. I contemplated doing the box stock livery, but I wanted something a little more vibrant.
  8. Long overdue color on the body of this. I love it! And yes, that’s another start in the background...Fujimi F40 LM.
  9. Fantastic. I guess I better check the couch cushions for any change...
  10. Super rad! Very realistic. Well done!!!
  11. Some train guys are grumpy gusses on a good day. LOL. I think it's pretty funny...Looks like someone was out to have a good time.
  12. Cool
  13. Grilled pork tenderloin on a spinach and grilled plum salad. ?
  14. Technically this irked me last Thursday
  15. Literally thought it was a Beetle kit at first glance.
  16. For me it is the completed model. I have learned that I need to keep certain aspects of the build in check...making everything 'right' would lead me down a dark rabbit hole of misery and despair. I used to be a model railroader and modeled a specific line. I had to leave the hobby because I couldn't recreate everything down to the 33' of track in a scale mile. I couldn't get over the fact that a town had to face the wrong way to fit in the room or a yard had to come into an area mirrored from the way it was in reality. It literally ruined the hobby for me (well that and working in rail for a career). With models (military and cars) I am just happy with the way they turn out. I don't want it to be about them being perfect, or being as good (or better) than so-and-so. I actually ran across this looking at @Dann Tier's Miura.... I was considering copying some of his techniques (drilling out the gauges, etc) and then I stopped myself. I want my Miura to be my Miura, not an attempt to recreate the amazing work of someone else.
  17. It’s ok...every now and then a model comes along that completely kicks your rear. I feel your pain brother. Stick it on a shelf and move on...
  18. A-pillar snapped while trying to cut out the windshield. Doomed from the get go so I went to the LHS and snagged one in a ratty looking box, had the clerk open it so I could verify condition. Paid less than $20 and we are back in business.
  19. Awesome build. Turned out very nice.
  20. Same.
  21. As usual, great stuff here Dann.
  22. Fantastic! I have the Koenig Mercedes 500SL on the shelf. I hope it turns out 1/2 this good.
