  1. Great work and outstanding photography!
  2. The wheels came out much better than I expected. I just dry brushed the spokes with Testors Chrome silver, nothing fancy. Thanks to all for the compliments!
  3. What a great collection! They all look to be winners.
  4. Ah yes M-80s, supposedly a 1/4 stick of dynamite. I don't recall blowing any cars but once my dad let me blow up a B-17 on the 4th of July on the condition that I pick up all the pieces. Of course I agreed (I was probably 10-12). I put it up in the air on the backyard clothesline and lit the fuse! BAM! Spent the rest of the afternoon searching the yard for bits and pieces, the wings basically stayed intact, it was only the fuselage that took it hard. I then took on the project of glueing it back together like a plastic jigsaw puzzle. It actually only had a couple of small holes when I got done. Those were the days.
  5. Imagine racing full speed on those skinny treaded tires! Well done.
  6. That would be one scary ride! Very well done, the interior needs to be displayed-great idea with the body supports.
  7. Really nice replica! These Moebius kits are outstanding IMHO.
  8. Nicely done! Don't see many of these built. Great job saving the decals, I know that can be a stressful part of any build.
  9. Well done, love the Rallye wheels.
  10. That is very nicely done! First one I've seen built, you did a great job.
  11. That's gorgeous, and great photos! Don't often see these built, I've never seen one in person. Were they imported to US?
  12. Great looking pair!
  13. Very basic kit, low parts count, perfect slump buster. I think this is a repop of the old Airfix kit? Styrene tires, wonky wheels, I think it turned out OK. Comments welcome.
  14. Very cool! I've always been intrigued by the wooden fenders on this car.
  15. Well deserved! Your builds are true replicas.
  16. Very cool! Love the off-beat builds.
  17. Gorgeous brass era auto! Well done.
  18. Beautiful! I've never seen this kit.
  19. Great color! Love seeing more of this era autos on here.
  20. Great work! One of the original "muscle cars".
  21. Very cool! First one of these I've seen built, you did a great job.
  22. That is great, dio scene really makes the weathering come alive! Thanks for sharing.
  23. I've tried to interest my grandsons with snap kits but they ones we've tried so far do not seem to go together easily.
  24. I think the "dirt" race was ridiculous! Those cars are not meant to race on dirt and they spent an obscene amount of money to truck dirt in to mess up one of the only short tracks remaining on the schedule. I do like the idea that they're reducing the number of 1 1/2 mile cookie-cutter ovals but a dirt race is not the answer. It will be even worse next year if they try to race the Next Gen cars with independent rear suspensions on dirt. All they managed to do was tear up a bunch of cars, p-off the drivers, and alienate long-time fans. Nice work NASCAR!
  25. Echoing all of the above, plus great photos!
