  1. Good looking car.
  2. Nice. I've always liked red/yellow as a paint scheme.
  3. Nice clean build. Those white wheels really stand out though.
  4. Nice black paint. Is the grill photo-etch or? Very nice job.
  5. I got mine today, the July issue in July!!! First time that's happened in 3 years. Seriously, looks like a lot of great articles and I hope this means the mag is getting on a more secure footing.
  6. It sounds pretty exciting to me. Subject matter aside, there are a ton of possibilities for parts or whole kits. I've just started using sketchup for a kitchen remodel project and if I can do it, it's in anyone's grasp.
  7. What a great idea, guitar string ends for pulleys. Never occured to me and I've got plenty of them around. It's only OCD if you can't stop
  8. Nice work. Great job on the foiling, it looks like it was tedious.
  9. Nice model. It's amazing how many design elements from that made it into production in 1963-67.
  10. Google image search, #11 Bud Monte Carlo. Should get you plenty to get started.
  11. One of the first rules learned in photography school is pay attention to the backround. It's hard at first not to focus your attention on the subject at hand, but with practice you learn to "see" everything in the frame as the camera will (like that tree growing out of Aunt Gertrude's head). That and proper lighting will go a long way in getting better pictures.
  12. Not into the hoops so much, but otherwise outstanding. Great detail under the hood, very clean. Nice job!
  13. Nice clean build and great fade job. She's a keeper!
  14. Very convincing, and right at home in a high school parking lot. I love the rope tie-down for the trunk lid!
  15. I have to agree. Content aside, the money goes to the parent corporation. How much american content is there in a John Deere tractor or a Westinghouse refrigerator? The sad fact is not much is still manufactured in this country. We are quickly becoming a service economy that cannot compete with cheap exploited labor in Mexico, China, et al.
  16. Very nice build Oziel (do they call you Ozzie?). Killer stance, I like the wheel/tire combo, smooth paint, good work on the decals. Welcome to the website, thanks for your service, and congratulations! (not necessarily in that order)
  17. Also the bluegrass band "The Dillards" played 'the boys'. I have several of their albums (yes vinyl) from back in the day. I loved Denver Pyle as Briscoe Darling as he growled at Andy and Barney! "Why sheriff, I didn't know you strang!"
  18. Nice job on a dog of a kit. I love these builds that represent a real car in someone's life. Those are always special.
  19. Excellent work on both. I feel the same way about ultra-detailing where it won't be seen, especially on stockers. Hope to see more as you get the time.
  20. It deserved a cover for sure Cruz. Amazing job, thanks for the tips in the article as well.
  21. Oh NO! Cranky in space? Are we going to see a rusted-up lunar module on the back side of the fake moon set?
  22. Such a great show, always with a moral at the end! Truly a great actor and producer. I saw a show a while back that said nothing got on that show that wasn't scripted/rehearsed. He was a taskmaster on the set but the end result speaks for itself. RIP Sheriff!
  23. These are cool. You're a master at the decals.

    That #49 car is sweet! I can't read the name over the door, who ran that?
  25. Nice builds John. I especially like the black & gold #27. You don't often see that one.
