Need them now

Van Morrisson made great albums, and I've got a few.

flying all over

Thank you Gary, and a good 2023 for you too! CT

Required by... manufacturer!

Fly by night types are a dime a dozen.

I beg to differ: yours WAS a very good year. Quality over quantity... Happy new year to you! CT

times are a'changing

Operations manager was one of my old job in a radio station way back then...

Hi Steve! Thank you. I try to pay great attention to my paint jobs, and I won't surprise you if I say the vintage funny-cars are the most demanding... I'm currently painting an ultra-rare Gas Rhonda long nose Mustang FC, a lucky find at a model show. The livery won't be stock, however, but rather a fantasy racer. More soon on this forum. Happy new year to you! CT

Hi EMRE! I'm flattered by your challenge, and I will pay some good relexion to it! I'm currently finishing a Bonneville car, but a fantasy scratchbuilt creation: an Allison powered VW van streamliner (!), if you can believe it. Should be posted on this site within about 5 or 6 weeks, once completed. Then, who knows? Happy new year to you. Long live the Salt! CT

Hi Craig! Wow, your collection and painwork are spectacular. Bravo, and happy new year! CT

Thank you Joe, and happy new year to you! CT

Thank you Bill! We try harder. Happy new year! CT

To favor the brave, we are told is good fortune's behavior.

so they twirl

What about poles?

Me have the same experience.

Thank you Bill, keep modeling, and happy new year! CT

Thank you Craig, and happy new year! CT

Thank you Steve, and happy new year! CT PS: My yearly lakester is coming along nicely. At paint now. and you'll get a sneak peak soon...

Hi Sir! World class, bravo! CT

Thank you Bruce, and happy new year! CT

Hi Peter! Thank you. I know what you are talking about. I worked once a a signmaker, and we used some of it. It was "new" at the time. In 2006, I sculpted an entire 1/1 street rod body for a customer (see pix below), out of HD40 insulation foam that the factory sliced in huge blocks from the 49 X49X97 raw castings. Lots a foam particles left over, but it was later coated with latex paint to create a barrier, and laminated over with fiberglass. Quicker to produce a one-off body like that than making molds. Happy new year to you, and many creations in 2023! CT

Thank you Ryan, and happy new year! CT
