  1. Hi Tim! It's been a while since I've been to this event, and I thank you for the eye candy. Much appreciated! CT
  2. Thank you Chuck! I agree about the virtues of basic camping... but I needed a building challenge, hence the fold-away cabin. CT
  3. Mister Hayes was a true gentleman, always willing to share his expertise on fabulous paint jobs. He was the master of subtle creations, each with the perfect rake or stance. He'll be missed. CT
  4. Thank you David! I must say that it looks "compact", and believe me, getting it all to fit inside the rather short wheelbase VW van was a challenge. Not a milimiter was lost... CT
  5. HI! Bought a can (49$ Canadian) last week at my LHS, and I tried it on a roll cage from a Tamya kit, in white plastic, with NO primer or base coat. One light coat of Revell Chrome, plus one wet coat. Fantastic results. I handled it 2 days later, and no sign of wear. I also tried it on a clear plastic bottle (empty Crazy Glue packing bottle), that I wanted to use as a base to raise one of my model body on contest tables. Two medium heavy coats, no base or primer,. At first it was a bit hazy while drying, that I attributed to a very humid day... but upon drying solid in direct sunlight, it flashed back to bright chrome. I'm very happy with the results, and it is certainly less work-intensve than Alclad on a black base. I would recommend it. CT
  6. Hi Steve! Happy you like it. You were my "first customer" to satisfy, so I'm glad it meets your expectations. Rest assured that I did not meant to give a shove, as gentle as it could be. I'm sincerely happy to rely upon the rule book you've kindly sent me.. It will avoid me having a true salt pilgrim looking at one of my build someday and say" You know this thing would not pass inspection?". If such a thing should happen with one of my previous salt cars... at least I'll be able to acknowledge and discuss the specific reasons why LOL! Regards, CT
  7. Thank you Phil! You are right... all kinds of contraptions have been home-built on commercial vehicles for the sake of economical traveling. Mine is just one more LOL. CT
