  1. ... Greetings ... : Very good question and topic. To be truthful with you all, I was always looking around for this build since it was posted a few months ago. I actually thought it was done by now. Narampa: I do believe I sent you a PM on this matter a few months ago when the post was made. I am of the same opinion as that of JAYMICHAELSDESIGN. One always paints the model, no matter what, even if the mold is very close to the color. It has been my experience, that the unpainted plastic WILL always change it's color as time and years passes by. Black will end up with a grayish or yellowish hue . Yellow will turn a bit darker, white will end up having a yellowish hue, blue will end up with a stone gray or stone blue hue, and so on with the other colors. Old Coyote: Nice work , good eye candy... . Always did like those KODAK cars.

This model was a great way to overcome condition, and helped others see that not all is lost. The way I see it and hope to see others realize things, is that we can do things as everyone else, just in a different way ... . I am working on another model ( I will post pictures when done ) as well as a prehistoric scene ... I am back ... .
  21. ... Greetings ... : It has been quite sometime since my last posting, I believe it was in Decemer of 2011 or maybe 2012 . Lot's of things has happned since, spent almost a year at the VA hospital after surgery, radio surgery and therapy, but I am back ... To say the truth, it has been sometime that I have been discharged from the hospital and doing ok. This model was my project at the VA. I saw it as a way better therapy and a very good spirit rising and motivational means than the plain and non creative board game, coloring books and peg & block therapy. I mixed the roll cage color using good ole RUSTOLLEUM ( last I remember BLACK and WHITE still make GRAY ... ) This was done under their supervision and all the way in the back of their smoking grounds. The model was airbrushed there also, again under supervision, especially since I lost most of my balance and coordination on my right side, I used my left side, and am still learning, but hey ... i'm getting there ... . The STAFF at the VA were so pleased and satisfied with the results that talk's have started in planning to include this as a THERAPY, they assured that it will happen but that it will take it's time as well as a few presentation to the BOARD and such. A few way's to make this happen have been disccused with me, I have been keeping in touch with them, and REVELL (SNAP builds, I have been informed of their CLUB BUILDS offerings ), let's see how it results ... . The whole project was a very good Hand Eye coordination excersize, and a very keen motivational developer. For me, as a person who has been modeling since age 5, this can seem normal. But too an individual that has never done a model and is in someway depressesd and feels somewhat challenged by the way their life has changed, this whole model project works miracles. One feel's great to see that a lump of uncolored plastic can result into someting that person never saw themself doing is way pleasing and a good feeling comes to one as their smile and pride shines up. It sure is a good esteem energizer and builder ... ... and that is a good thing.
