  1. Another word for lanai is veranda!
  2. Kevin - Have you got a link to the LTD online, as I can't find it in Missing Links website. Thanks. When are you starting the build? Do you have any pictures of the whole kit,as to what comes in it? I'm curious to see, and am interested in ordering one!
  3. These are some cool display cases. Gives me some ideas for a shelf. Thanks for posting!
  4. April 2010 has an article as well.
  5. Nice build, and a sharp colour!
  6. Great project!! Love the hover board! In my experience with trying to photograph models inside, I have found the most consistency with four things: Using the Macro setting, along with the 'indoor' preset (I don't use 'auto' if I can avoid it) Using a tripod (no camera shake, or distance change) Using the timer (no shake from the shutter button-I'm not touching the camera when the shutter clicks) Using a spot light for lighting (I found one that gives nice even lighting, not to harsh, and not too orange) I have a garage diorama that I use as a background for pictures of my models. I have a spot light above it, and the tripod in front. Getting pictures of a small subject like models, and in tough lighting like indoors, it is tough to get reliable pictures without experimenting and finding what works for you. I did use a piece of white paper (like a sheet of bristle board) as a sweeping backdrop (two corners on the wall, two on the table top in a sweep so there is no visible line between the table and wall). You could use a sheet, or something like that for the same effect. The light is the main thing, as a flash can be too bright that close, so a diffuser or a remote flash could be used. I hope that my experiences in trying to take pictures of my models can help. I am no expert, but I've tried a few things, and have shared that learning here! Good luck, and I'll be looking as you get through these three awesome cars!
  7. Excellent! Wow! The interior is fantastic!! The steering wheel is amazing!!
  8. "Mail-slot" windows, and the skull shifter sticking out of the roof!!
  9. Nice start! Looks to my eyes like you need to chop it more.
  10. Looks like a nice kit. I just saw a nice medium blue one with a dark blue vinyl top, with the fender skirts on the road today! I thought it was neat to see one on the road, and it was in near perfect shape, too.
  11. "General" is just that. I'm going to get me some ice cream!
  12. Nice build, Billy!

  14. Cool, Trevor! Sounds good! Have a good trip.
  15. Ted's Hobby Shop on the West Island, and Udisco downtown...I haven't been yet, plan to go check both out this summer! Recommended by a friend. Please let me know if you go to either, or both!
  16. Nice nice nice!!!
  17. Nice build! I just recently got the 2 in 1 '67 GTX kit, and this gives me an idea as to how I might build it!! I like that black one with the dog-dish caps, too!!
  18. Nicely done build!!
  19. What a fantastic build of a very unique time in F1. Fabulous work, and thanks for taking the time to document the trials and tribulations you went through to get to the finished model. Just plain awesome!!! Well done!!
  20. He PM'd me, Fletch. Thanks, Ken...reply sent.
  21. Thanks for taking us along for the ride on this one, Bill. Very much appreciated! I learned several tricks and tips that will serve me a long time. Thank you.
  22. That's great, Ken! I would sure be interested in working something out with you. I'll check settings in my profile and see if I can't do something about the PM not working, but you can e-mail me. Thanks!! EDIT: I just went to my settings, and unchecked a box - must have missed it when the new board started a while back...oh well, should work now...
  23. Nice paint work! It came out awesome!!
  24. Great build! I love the styling on that wagon. Great lines. You did a wonderful job of reproducing it in scale.
