Fujimi The Italeri kit isn't too bad but hard to find. The Aurora/RM is horribley out of shape. The Protar ROG is good for the exact car it is modeled after but not accurate to the original. The GS is also hard to find and has issues There are some really nice high end resin 250s For mainstream basic kits it will be real hard to beat the new Fujimi kit.

I won a grail Hopefully it's all it is supposed to be. details to follow. Yeah, slight but there is a difference. To be honest for small stuff the little one is better. -
The little wheel that moves the head, works a little easier with a wheel. See how the 6in has the wheel and the 4in doesn't. Not a big deal, just easier to work with the one that has the wheel. They are handy I use mine all the time.

Another part of my micro machine shop.

I got one of those calipers. I like it a lot, but it suck that it doesn't have a wheel on it. The 6in does, which I have also. I wonder if you can swap heads?

Hasn't shown up yet, but I just ordered a Vertical Mill.

Awe isn't that cute.

Started front row led... 15m to go and 2nd at the 24hrs. It must have been crushing.

Nice 935, I need to build my 934 one of these day. I always found it interesting they just hacked away part of the rear structure for the turbo plumbing on this car.

Looks good to me. It's an old slot car kit. The "injector" marks are actually for when they installed the clear parts. I think the real car caught fire @ the 24 of Le Mans, and Mazda came from behind in the closing hours to win overall. I guess that was the next year. Jaguar won.

I have kind of mixed feelings about it. Sometimes in particular situations it's perfect - mostly for simulated metal finish washes because it's got kind of bluish tint when it dries and it doesn't dry real dark. Inks or acyrlics thinned down is much better for grills and such. You can't beat Tamiya clears for lenses.

It's not going to be any contest winner but I plugging away on it.

You're going to have to do better than that to beat those crazy Suadi street skaters.
-
I have several Badgers and I love them, used them for a long time, and still do, but I also have a Iwata. The Iwata is just a better brush, especially for doing model car bodies.

what? show you everything you can't have.

Gregg Went Off The Deep End

What do you mean you didn't buy a Toyota? -
You can spin them to infinity... once Others just don't have the drag coefficient to be practical no mater how much hp.

I guess so. 32D3H40M til Fri Practice 1. 124D10H46M til the 24 Heures Du Mans.
-
That's what I am thinking. The guy was looking at KPH. Otherwise it doesn't add up.
-
Yeah, the math doesn't work out on some of these claims.
-
Thanks. Needs cleaned and orginized. The toilet seat... because I can.

Your Very First Real Car

Only mine was silver with a red plaid interior. -

179 on public roads in a Gray Market 930 - super cams - with the biggest intercooler that you could fit in the tail. It had more but I was getting a little scared - it probably had a top end of closer to 200. 212 on a track. Back side of Road Am in a PCA 962 and it was broken and geared all wrong for that track.
