Very nice!

Thanks, Bernard; I only wish there were a 1/24 or 1/25 scale Canguro. I may attempt to do one myself - the Toyota 2000 GT is very close in size and shape. I started modifying a Viper as a pseudo Canguro, then Alfa beat me to it.

Thanks for the info, Peteski.

Good work!

This kind of project takes real guts to start and persevere. Kudos! P.S. My workbench is messier.

Subtle, and superb! Great redesign choices well executed.

Simply excellent!

Good work! Keep it going!

Worth saving and well done.

Looking very realistic.

Very nice.

Unusual and well done.

Very nice! I really like the simplicity of this straightforward rod.

Thanks everybody for some great ideas!

I have become so frustrated with Testor paint lids. If Testor would just copy Tamiya lid design (large, easy to grip plastic top, soft plastic inner liner), I would be so appreciative.

I have some Micro Mark CR-300 urethane resin I've been using for over a year. Recent castings have tiny (less than 1 mm) bubbles just below the surface of the bottom of the piece, i.e., next to the detailed part of the slush mold. I've squeezed the resin bottles to get as much air out as possible. Is there any cure? Sanding causes the bubbles to expand and once their surface is open I have not been able to fill or seal them. BTW, I greatly prefer CR-300 to any alternative I've tried: little smell, easy to work (a little softer than model car styrene).

Blair's rat rods and truck models were works of modeling art. And a good guy. R.I.P.

On a tip from an optician, I now wash my glasses with plain old Dawn (not Ultra). It rinses off my plastic lenses leaving nothing behind. I started washing paint (acrylic) brushes with it and they often squeak when I squeeze the water out. Maybe some paint problems were caused by a residue from some detergent with about a dozen strange ingredients.

Good to see someone applying themselves to making a design decision work in a reasonably realistic manner. Kudos!

Great idea and execution! Well done!

Perfect.

Bellisimo!

I'm not sure why, but I see Grommetto driving and Wallaci hanging on for dear life.

It is great to see such an unusual and attractive subject and a good build too!

Superb!
