Brad, Here's the big wheels I have. The middle wheel is your staandard 14" or 15". To the left are wheels from maybe a Dodge? that measure 7/8" across. The wheels to the right measure 1 1/8" across. I don't have tires for either set. If you're interested, send me a street address.

You're right Joe. maybe I should have stayed in Aurora -NOT!! Supposed to be in the low 70s Friday.

I voted model. Therre doesn't seem to be any weight on the tires.

Looks very good. Nice engine details, especially how you colored the exhaust pipes.

Brad, I believe I have some large wheels from a Buick Donk and maybe a '49 Merc kit. Not sure if I have the tires. I'll go look later and let you know.

I only keep coming back to see the pic J. Sauber posted. I should try to save just the pic on the computer.

Looking extremely good.

Bummer. I missed the inappropriate pics. I like the pic J Sauber posted in some other post - I think it has a red car in the pic.

That was my plan Joe. Leave Illinois for warm sunny Florida. Right. It was 22 this morning going to a high of 45. Then down to 19 tonight 50 on Monday. The real bummer is that I have to to go Rockford in 2 weeks and I'll bet it'll get real nice and with snow and my flight out Sunday afternoon from O'Hare will be delayed

Let's get going here Marcus. You build such beautiful models. Take a deep breath and START!

Alright Greg. Way to go. Been too cold to paint here but I'll get there. Your Buick looks pretty good.

Best of luck to you Jim. I started in 1969 after I experienced my first rocket attack just west of DaNang. Been at it ever since although I did quit for a couple of years - I was laser beamed at several acupuncture points and it rerally worked. It was worth the $125. The guy hit some other points so I wouldn't gain weight after quitting. That worked too. But then I was stupid and started again. Not smoking much now because I have to go outside to smoke and it's too cold.

SNOW FLURRIES!!! We moved from Chicago to west central Florida and this morning we had snow flurries and 24 degrees. Supposed to get to the mid teens on Sunday and Monday night. I might have to call a realtor to sell the house and everything in it and move to South America. I do not want cold weather.

Love the color and everything looks so real. How did you duplicate the car? Is somebody leaving?

Those are scratch built? I thought you modified a kit. WOW!! My amazement just went up several factors. Just amazing what you've done. Beautiful.

Got the video and have watched it several times - just haven't dug out the airbrush yet. Other posts rave about the video and that Donn's suggestions work very well.

Kevin, Maybe you should try to post just the pics of your builds - no words.

In case you folks didn't see or hear about it - this weekend, January 9 & 10, 2010, Michael's is having a sale. 20% off everything including sale items.

I have the med tape but haven't used it yet. Somebody posted using a white paper towel and soaking it down with diluted Elmer's glue. After drying pull it out, trim to fit, install and paint. It looked pretty good.

Looking good. Engine detail and bed floor are excellent touches.

I don't build big trucks like that but yours are gorgeous.

Got an early birthday present - bottle of Ambroid and a touch-n-flow kit. If it ever warms up around here I'll be able to try it out.

I may have the solution for you Marcos. Don't keep it and don't give it to your club member - send it to me! Don't you love the tires from that kit? I'd love to get a bunch of them.

How many bottle of nailpolish to paint one car? Thin it with lacquer thinner?

Real nice. Where'd you source those wheels?
