  1. Hi! Never one to waste good leftover parts, my mind got to work when I found the remnants of an Hemi-Hydro hull in a Ziplock at a recent show. I mixed the 3/4" narrowed hull with a Revell Corvette Indy canopy + Johan's 70 Eldo triple wide custom seat + jet engines from a Hasegawa Egg plane kit. The rest (deck, cabin floor, dash,gas tanks, wing, rudder etc.) is scratchbuilt. The trailer and gas tanks/fuel pump, hydraulic cylinder, winch, and all was scratchbuilt with Evergreen and kit sprues. Tamya's & Mr. Hobby Top coat clear + Molotow & Alclad chrome. My first boat ever. Care for a ride? All aboard! CT
  2. Hi Charles! Masterful technique. Thank you for sharing. I'll never look at my tile grout the same way ever LOL! CT
  3. Hi Jay! Clean as a whistle, bravo! CT
  4. Thank you Jay! This is my first try with a "satin" finish on a custom. Happy with the result! CT
  5. Hi Steven! Thanks for the report. Many inspiring creations there. Bravo! CT
  6. Hi Jim! Thanks for the comments. Indeed, a roof swap usually changes the vibe of any car, even more so if you put a more recent greenhouse on a car: say a 70's roof on a 50's car. Coddington's Chezoom is a good example. Makes it instantly more contemporary. CT
  7. Jeff, that's what we call L-O-V-E. She's a keeper, needless to say... CT
  8. Hi Jeff! Well, after all, the goal is to have fun. And since you enter contests, I'm certain you are enjoying every minute of it. So much styrene, so little time! CT
  9. HI! Still lucky for you that the "safety crew" did not evacuate the whole area and dress you with hazmat suits... Oh well... CT
