  1. excellent work Will .were the stickers hard or easy ? what was your favorite part of this build ?i also think it is great that you are learning good habits and using the right tool for the job keep it up.
  2. Thank you again for your input and finding a link to those pics , which I don't recall the ones at the very end being there before so bonus
  3. Nathan was happy to get more feedback on this one.We build stuff together we recently tried out spray painting he did pretty good and was able to work the can by himself . yes he wore a respirator(he thinks it's like darth vader or a clone trooper)and understands that he needs to always use the respirator when spraying.we do use acrylic paint markers when we can and he uses a glue pen most of the time .Nathan is currently building an acura rsx and the wave rider.projects he designs and I implement a 4x4 general lee,custom corvette.on our collaborations i take care of the finer details and he calls the shots and works on the fundamentals ,this exercise allows him to see the idea come to fruition and we get to work together and honestly the ideas and stuff he comes up with ends up looking really neat and is always stuff I wouldn't think of .I highly recommend giving your kids carte blanche to your stash have him/her pick the kit ,pieces ,modifications and show them how you do it have them build major sub assemblies while you take care of the details a youngster just doesn't have the dexterity to pull off .also after hearing the new posts he is going to tackle the 34 ford it will be one he sprays himself probably the revell snap kit. thank you all for the encouraging words they go a long way in motivating both of us .
  4. Thanks Dave,I don't see these types of kits around much and it is nice to know what to look out for.
  5. Nice to see it posted already .looks pretty good so what is next?
  6. rats Harry's link doesn't work anymore.
  7. I like the decals I think it really adds a lot ,and that blue looks great too.
  8. I just wanted to get this back on my profile page. and thanks again for the kind words .Nathan still has it and it is still in good shape.
  9. I have discovered that these aren't as rare as I thought I now have several in various condition.the moving van is way easier to find than the dirt hauler but with patience they do show up .most I got for around $25.00.if you like them you can find them.
  10. were there more in this series?
  11. love the colors can't wait to see more .for what it's worth I like the wide whites ,maybe not those ,but wide whites always look cool.
  12. and just how long did that take?
  13. I like it a lot .have you done others like it?
  14. looks cool it reminds me of a late 80's early 90's 1:1 project/cover car I forget which mag but it was purple with yellow scallops and all wheel drive. sorry just thinking out loud(typing out loud?)
  15. we look forward to seeing your first build!
  16. It looks good on the outside ,inside and the engine well that is just a pleasant surprise.
  17. do you have to put a big rock on top of the hood so the hamster doesn't get out?
  18. those are pretty cool.nice to see something a little different .
  19. happy new year

    really really really sweet.
  22. that is really cool.will you tell us more about the case and how you made it ? I like the use of space and how it isn't too full of stuff but still plenty of details to pull the viewer in.
  23. that's a nice shelby ya got there.are those after market decals?nice job on the paint.
  24. congrats,it seems that perhaps you should finish your projects more often.I like it a lot it is unique and well built .great fresh take on an old favorite!
  25. lookin good I like the tasteful use of after market parts that is a nice color.
