Randy, while it looks like it fought in Saigon, I really like it. It's different, and by God, you tried, that's for sure.

Taco Bell brown napkins....Tom, you are a genius!!!!

Moebius, right? Gorgeous, both of them! Great job

Dennis, I think I'm in love with your car! Absolutely gorgeous. How did you do the fuel lines? Tell me!

Ray is right. That is a cool little model!

I like it. Unique color

Randy, with or without the blemish, it looks great! Really love the overall job, and the engine is really nice!

Very nice, Geoff! I never pictured a Ford Escort as any kind of racing vehicle. Very unique!

Wow, it's beautiful and actually PERFECT!

Gareth, You, Sir, are a genius!

Thanks Gareth! I really like the vanity rings on the wheels, as well. did you notice how I had to cheat to get the front window into the car? The window that I had, along with the chrome trim, were both WAY too small to actually fit. So, I just put the window in with metal tape (my old go-to) and did the best I could to hide it! I always appreciate the reinforcing words, Sir.

That is a good-looking big rig!

Alan, that is a gorgeous build. How are we going to keep the interior clean is anyone's guess!

Thanks Dave! Yes, it was the Master Box figure. Good eye. I just wanted to add a human dimension to the model.

Last step in the construction - filling in the gaps in the interior and getting that door hung! I filled the gaps in with metal tape, and then pressed down with a sharpened bamboo skewer to get it fits into the gaps. Did the same to the door. Then I painted the interior color onto the tape showing wear the carpet butts up against the threshold metal. You can see the door before and after it gets polished and waxed. I know that the orange peel is pretty bad, but that's because I really lay on the paint so that when I do sand it down, I will have plenty to work with. The door is polished, waxed, painted and ready to hang. I stretched several sprue so that I could cut a section to replicate the hinge. Then, I positioned the door, and glued the larger, bottom hinge to the door, and then using metal tape and another smaller cut sprue, fabricated the upper hinge and installed it on the door. If you like, I invite you to go look at the finished model in the pau section! Thanks so much and on to another one.

Ha! Thanks David.

Eric, you got talent! Beautiful drawings.

Wow, I really like the color! Beautifully done

David, I love the entire setup (especially the drive in speaker in the window - neat!) Now, where is the state inspection sticker in the window? DPS is going to get all over you!

You did a great job, Bart! I really like it.

Thanks Carl!

Thanks David, Gareth and Paul! Actually, I was thinking of doing other 1/24th figures. Easier on the eyes than other scales. If the ladies can wait...I will try and make their wait worthwhile.

Welcome Ronald! I like your handle very much. Also, I want to start seeing your work. Not only is your plate full, it sounds like some really interesting stuff!

Facebook is the worst! I use the phone to keep up with people (oh, and texting)

Welcome aboard Kendall!
