QuickSkins did a great Audi A4 years ago. I have been trying to get Joe to redo it, we'll see. I'll try post pics this weekend, if I can get caught up.

Now this is a build!!! I love the work, the details, the photos, the descriptions. I really do appreciate all the hard work, and your willingness to share your talents and work with us. mahalo nui loa

They should all be there already.

Here are some of the new releases in Test Shot state from GSL:

I don't know if these were posted before:

Okay Enough of this. This is Davin's build, and it's his story to tell. I have gone through and cleaned up a little of the childish bickering. Any more negative comments, sarcasm, or just plain old being a you know what, you will get banned. Yes, zero tolerance, FOR ANYONE! And I do agree about the typos, spelling, grammar, and abbreviations. Please do not use abbreviations. They may save you two or three keystrokes, but they waste our time. I have no idea what sry is, or any of that stuff means. I'm 50 years-old, I don't LOL or BRB or BFF or whatever the kids say now. If I see posts that are full of abbreviations, or really bad spelling, I either ignore it, or delete it. It's up to you. Okay, I pau. Now, back to the build, and keep it on topic.

Actually, it was dummied up for the show. The suspension/driveline was not even there! I am going to redo the motor thanks to the post with the crate engine shot. I hope to get it done soon. I love the kit, and the responses it got from GSL were all positive. Thanks, Guys!!

Thanks, Guys. The big hug goes out to Harry though. He is the one who has been pushing me, and everyone here, to get the mag out on time. I really can't thank you enough, Harry. Thank you for your patience, trust, support, help, belief in me, and, oh crud, I'm going to cry.....

Here is the PDF from Jairus' article. Vacuum.pdf

Here is the GSL XXIII Group Shot:

When the forum was upgraded a few years ago, some idiot (me) clicked the wrong button somewhere, and all the posts that were not "active" where purged. I know, what an idiot.....

Jairus did a wonderful article on vacuum forming a few years ago. I will see if I can find a PDF of it.

Danno, go to your room, NOW!

Some thoughts on GSL as I have finally "woken" up. Or rather, I am up off the ground. Today is Thursday, and it's the first day that I have been up for more than half hour at a time. So, I thought I would jot down some notes and thoughts on GSL. GSL is THE show for the model car judged contests in the country. It is judged OVERNIGHT by modelers who really go into, over, and under each and every single model on the table. I always hear that "that model should not have won, that other one was better" at shows I go to, GSL included. But, having been privey to the behind the scenes at these and other shows, I think I can say that without a doubt, GSL is the most intensive and maybe even over-judged show I have ever been to. I don't know how many GSL's I have been to, maybe twelve, fifteen? I lost count. I should just count all the commemorative GSL kits in the storage to see.... One thing about GSL that I love is getting to see people who I haven't seen in two years, or more! Mike Siegman hasn't been to GSL in over 15 years, and there were some that were not able to show up. John Lunger (Lil' John) I haven't seen since my Denver days, and there are more that I could spend hours typing up on. As for the show, I came home not only with a full UPS-sent 20"x20"x20" box full of models, and some in the suitcases, but with tons of ideas for new projects. I bought some kits just because of the models on the table. Like Steve Perry's Ford Van that was probably the most over-looked model on the tables. There will be a feature on that one also. What I would like to do, and it's something I can do laying down, so it should be pretty easy, is to build simple web sites of some of the feature models from the show. A page, or two or ten, on John Teresi's models, of course will take some time :-) Randy Derr's Sprint Car is in a world all it's own. The thing about GSL is that some of the guys that go, if not all, or so darn humble, and even embarrassed that they won, or win! I can't tell you how many shaking hands I saw after the awards brunch, yes, shaking hands, not shaking hands, if you know what I mean. It's amazing the humbleness that I saw in the winners at the show. The seminars were good, from what I could see of them, I popped into a couple of them. The auction was really good, and Yes, I don't need no stinkin' number!!!!! Kelly saw the first snow fall of her life on Friday, and were both giddy with that. I know, get a life, right? We went up to Park City afterwards on Sunday, and she got to walk around in the snow on the slopes. We saw Dan and Mary King up there also, which was pretty cool. It was a great show, and I hope to be able to finally finish something for the next one. And yes, that sign was fun, it's a double jab, and I meant every word of it. Okay, I pau. I will be posting more of the studio shots and finishing up the videos also. I think I did part 1 on YouTube, and will work on the others this weekend. It took over three days to recover, and I have to say, it was worth it.

I am redoing the web site photos as we speak to do just that. I include all the table shots, and some studio shots, and now will do new updates soon.

Here is the studio shot from GSL

Thanks, Art! It was great seeing you and that "Newbie" Thanks for bringing him in to our insane group of builders. And yes, everyone saw the proof: "Gregg Does Build!" Good job on the award too!!!
