  1. Looks fantastic..and it's nutritious, too! (Or is it "nitro-tritious"?)
  2. I've been to the Hobby Depot a few times, but we're on the other side of the valley, so it's really too far to go (especially when the AC in your vehicle is out). And if Matt (Bell Rd Hobby Bench manager) has any kids, I've made my fair contribution to their college fund as well! Appreciate the club suggestion - not sure that's for me, but I might give it a try sometime. Thanks!.
  3. Nice job! Speaking of the T-34, you might want to give the films "Cross of Iron" (a Peckinpah film) and "White Tiger" (Russian film) a try sometime, if you haven't already. Here's a link to the "White Tiger" version with English subtitles, which I recommend over dubbed versions. This is a beautifully photographed film -
  4. Absolutely gorgeous stuff! I especially like the Jag, but all 3 are top-notch craftsmanship! (And 2 rooms? Your wife must be a saint.)
  5. Just want to thank everyone for the input! (And yes, it was the GA-based firm I was initially inquiring about!) Also thanks for the new resource, as I hadn't heard of scalehobbyist before!
  6. Andy's is just down the street from me (retail store AND new warehouse). I'm sure that by now I've made a fairly substantial contribution to his kid's college fund. But his first love is armor - he's kind of light on cars.
  7. Great job! Looks terrific!
  8. I have this same kit purchased back in the 70s, and at that time it was kitted under the Revell name. Mine was going to be blown up by firecrackers in a Super-8 movie, but that didn't happen. I now use it to test weathering techniques on as well as paints, etc. Yours is a nice, clean build and I like the color!
  9. As anyone had experience (good or bad) ordering from Hobbylinc.com? I've come across a few comments from people who had long wait times for items that were supposed to be in stock. Thanks.
  10. Really nice! Love the color and overall look.
  11. Impressive build!
  12. Thanks! The moves weren't easy and the airlines didn't help much. ("I'm sorry, your luggage appears to have made an improper connection, but I'm sure it will enjoy its stay in Bangkok." I exaggerate, but only a wee little bit.) The truly amazing part is all of those years up in the attic - it's a wonder it didn't just melt into an amorphous glob of styrene. I'll be happy with the rubber band tracks after I fix the sag issue. The folks that design those 1,000 part individual link tracks must be sadists. Granted, they look great, but come on...
  13. Love it!
  14. Magnificent! The '63 Galaxie is just about one of my favorite cars of all time. As far as I can discern, this is a flawless build - just about as close to perfect as you can get!
  15. Nice job! I like the color scheme and the gold in the wheels works really well with the overall look.
  16. Thanks! I believe Shep Paine once said a modeler only has so many road wheels in him, so I guess I've yet to reach my quota!
  17. Wow! If you had a key small enough to fit in the ignition, I think she'd start right up! Incredible build!
  18. The skill, craftsmanship, and patience required during the build are duly displayed in the finished model! Excellent job! What did you use for the rigging?
  19. Thank you! In many respects the P-47 was like a flying tank. It was an awesome platform for ground assaults, and it could withstand a great deal of punishment as well. And I think many marks provided a fair amount of armor plate protection in the cockpit for the pilot.
  20. A fantastic build of one of my favorite cars! Terrific paint & decals and a super job on the trim.
  21. Nice! What's that white stuff on the ground?
  22. Like it a lot! Great job!
  23. Very nice build! You can almost hear Fred Rutherford yelling at Clarence to "Get that hunk of junk out of my driveway!" Fathers are like that - even some TV ones just don't seem to understand.
