  1. I love seeing these grocery-getters done well. Great work.
  2. Wow! That was a lot of work and it looks great!
  3. Does anyone know of a 1/24 floatplane? That could be a dynamite diorama.
  4. Great decal work as usual, John. Looks excellent.
  5. Amazing detail for 1/43, well done.
  6. That is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
  7. Outstanding model! I can picture it on a 1/4 mile bullring.
  8. What a great idea! I've got a BH kit that I was thinking about making a speedster, but this would be more interesting.
  9. Great looking models of the up-and-coming young guns!
  10. Great use of that dog of a kit. Well done.
  11. I like it! Always good to see cars from the 20s-30s on here. Interesting color combination.
  12. Me too! I agree on the 600 at Charlotte and the 500s at the plate races, they're over in a couple hours anyway. I'm coming around to the road courses, although I wasn't really impressed with the "roval".
  13. That's a beauty!
  14. I'll be honest with you, I have also totally lost all interest in NASCAR racing also because of their stupid "stages" during races and their ridiculous (to me) fanatic belief that winning races is the most important thing in determining a championship. I remember the 1985 Nascar championship race between Bill Elliott and Darrell Waltrip. Elliott won 11 races that year and Waltrip only 3. Elliott dominated the super-speedway races but his short track, medium length, and road course program was total futility. In those races, he couldn't get out of his own way. Waltrip won the title because of a better overall performance spanning the entire season. I'm sorry, that's the way I still think it should be Wow, it sounds like the nhra is trying to copy nascar to make their championship go to some one who may not deserve it. I liked nascar when it had a pure point system because each race was more important. Not just the last ten. and if you have amassed the most points during the season you should be the champion. Like every other major motor racing organization does it. Well said and I totally agree. It shouldn't come down to the last 10 races, and the stage format is just throwing cautions to bunch them up again. I can see where 500 mile races are no longer relevant, the cars now can easily make the distance unlike the old days. Shorten the races to keep the fans interest, bring back some more short tracks and get rid of the cookie-cutter 1 1/2 tracks.
  15. Outstanding weathering work, I really like this a lot!
  16. And don't forget the shag carpeting covering every surface of the interior! Outstanding work on the 2-tone paint, you really captured the look.
  17. Great concept and execution. I always look forward to your builds.
  18. That's a beauty! I don't normally care for the wide whites but they fit this build perfectly.
  19. Great model! This Lambo is so much prettier than the later angular designs.
  20. Great start. Handsome Harry is one of my all-time favorite drivers, a class act.
  21. I count myself as a member as well, and I work for a large ISP. If they don't teach proper English in school anymore, how is anyone supposed to use it properly?
  22. Holy cow, that thing is a beast! Great subject to re-create.
  23. Its been a busy summer and I haven't gotten as much time at the bench as I'd like. I finally finished one, as well as the minibike (which was much tougher than the car!). Didn't want to go with the cliche` black and gold, the decal sheet had a blue bird so that's the way I went. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.
  24. Not my thing, but a very faithful rendition. You put a lot of work into it and it shows, well done!
