  1. Nice progress, looking forward to seeing this come together.
  2. Very interesting subject and a cool way to section it. I am intrigued how this will turn out, best of luck.
  3. Looking good, nice chrome work. I bet that paint colour looks killer in person.
  4. This is really clipping along, that silver really looks good. I'll have to go back and reread what it actually is. More outstanding work Dann.
  5. That looks right at home in there.

    Thanks Thanks Dann, it works really well, especially when doing compound curves. Front fender panel srcibing is now complete. I have a long way to go before my lines are show quality, well not so much the lines as the outside corners. I need to make a teenie-tiny .010' chisel just for doing the 90deg corners. So hard not to over scribe and creat a mess. All in all I am please with how they turned out. Given they will be hidden under a few coats of poly-U clear I am not too concerned. I started the build up on the rear fenders today in order to create the flare out like the front fenders. I didn't really have a plan just kinda winged it as I went. I still have the other side to do. You can see what I mean about the front fenders lower flares in the last picture. I will try my best to replicate that look. Oh, and the hood scoop is now attached. I nixxed the idea to sculpt the front of it like the TV car, too much work. Thanks for looking in on the progress. Again all comments welcome.
  7. What a collection of Model-T's, nicely done on all of them. Sweet group of hot rods too.
  8. Awesome build, very nice paint work. I dig the display platform too. The 2018 almost makes the '05 look IMHO, kinda out dated, could just be the wheels on the 05. Nice looking pair non the less.
  9. More good progress. I am really looking forward to seeing this one in paint.
  10. Thumbs up. I personally call kits that I think look good from a far, 'top shelfers'. You've done an outstanding job given the lump of resin you started with.
  11. All good Dave, thanks for the quick response. Heal up bro.
  12. Every once in a while a latency of the key board function of keys pressed and how fast they appear on the screen pops up. Sometimes I have to wait a few seconds for the cursor to catch up. This is the only site I am havering these issues with. I have cleared my browser, ths problem continues to happen. Anyone else experience this?
  13. Wow what a room. I dig all the natural light and all the track lighting. Looks like you have your own deck balcony too. Moving a model room is always an adventure. My wife and I flip homes and live in them at the same time, we've done this for the past 10yrs. In one case I moved my room 7 times just to stay ahead of the renos and still be able to have a room to work and paint. Sometimes it was just a table. In one case I converted and electric sauna that was only 7ftx7ft into my work room, it was actually pretty comfy and quite cozy. We tend to move once a year so I have gotten pretty efficient at boxing and sorting my gear. Best of luck with the set up. I'll be watching for the final set up pics.
  14. It's a toss up for me between the Suzuki and the KR200.
  15. Welcome to the plastic play ground.
  16. Cheers, dude. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for posting your link. Wow, what a ton of work getting that done, bravo. You've given me some ideas.

    Both rear fenders lips are now filled, final sanding and shaping to blend into the bottom of the panel to finish them off. Onto the front end. . My original plan was to simply lay panels on the fenders to give some depth, they are so long and flat they need something to break them up. As you can see from the pic I decided to scribe a panel in each. One done onto the nex one. I made a template then used 3m Super 77 to temporarily fasten it in place to be used as a guide. This is a slow arduous process, taking me about 2hrs. Thanks for looking in.
  18. These go for big bucks on evilBay.
  19. Oh man I really dig that car. Love the stance of these big 'ol cars slammed with bigger wheels.
  20. What!? I guess that makes my original release untouched kit worth a ton, lol.
  21. Super build, really nice work all round, loving the colour.
  22. Now that car has been neglected, really great work.
  23. I am not much of a fan of street Ferrari's but I do appreciate the excellent work that went into this beauty, nicly done.
  24. Looks great, very nice interior work. Not many of these being built up, nice to see it here.
  25. Absolutly stunning. Subtle, yet striking. The wheels and headlight covers real set it off. Awesome build.
