Hi! Finished eleven this year, out of a stash of about 110. Purchased just 4 kits this year: getting more selective, I guess... My wife won't complain! CT

Hi David! That boat is something unique. Bravo! CT

Thanks for the compliments David! And happy holidays to you and your gang! CT

strange creatures emerged

Thanks Carl, and happy holidays to you! CT

Thank you Ken! CT

Thanks for the reply. I have in stock, I made provisions upon the announcement: I'll give it a try! CT

flying strange machines

Hi David! Now, THIS is imaginative and very well executed! Bravo. Sometimes, you have to go out of your "comfort zone", and the results may surprise showgoers. This one certainly pushes all buttons. A few years ago, I built a Pizza food truck, which was unusual for me, and it gathered first place trophies at every show entered. Go figure... Great work, and keep at it! CT

Hi Phil! Wow, what a year it was. And one could argue you a have a certain penchant for "blue oval" stuff, thinking that for a while, Ford was also the owner of Jaguar. Oh well... If I may: what is the exact color on the beige 5 windows? Really nice! CT

Thanks Dan! CT

Great year, and i like the changes you made to the Stude! CT

Hi Steve! Wow, so spectacular, and realistic in the fit, textures, and choice of colors. A guy on my street had one just like yours back then. Bravo! I can tell by the boxes on the shelf in the last picture that you have a soft spot for large cruisers from the 60's. That makes two of us! Happy holidays! CT

Thanks Oliver! With two thumbs up, you already are very generous. Happy holidays! CT

Thanks Steve! My usual rythm is about 1 car finished every 5 weeks, but I always work on 2 or 3 at once, to not get bored, and to avoid being stopped by any normal delay (drying paint, primer, or chrome finish). It also provides time to reflect on the design, and implement profitable mods. AND... I'm retired, which says a lot! Happy holidays to you! CT

lots of smoke

Thanks Al! I appreciate your comment, but please, retain your voice: You'll need it in 2025! Happy holidays! CT

Thanks Donato for the kind words. It appears that, alas, I just can't stop. Oh well.... CT

it's gonna hurt

Hi Sir! Thank you, and you are right: lotsa sanding and priming. You gotta do what you gotta do... CT
