I am really liking these mods, keep up the good work.

Agreed. I don't like to give false praise, I feel as though I am doing nothing but pandering their work or skill level. I always try to find something worthy of praise on a build, even if there are numerous flaws. I think as a builder you would have to be completely blind not to be able to see when your work is sub par and needs improvement. Either that or the builder is simply satisfied with their current skill level. Something we haven't considered is perhaps the builder is a high functional special needs person. Either way the bottom line is, support our fellow builders and engourage their skill development without pandering and provide constructive encouragement when ever possible. As builders on a forum this size we have to be aware that not all our builds are going to be accepted and liked, build for yourself and find a style that makes you happy.

That is one sharp looking GTX, fantastic paint.

Go for it, this is going to look great!

Very interesting.

Looking really good.

Good start.

It's a 2015 Giant Carbon Trance Team with a Fox 160mm 34 Talas and Industry Nine hubs and Derby carbon wheels. It looks like a 2016 Carbon Trance 1 model. Long story behind how the Giant 2016 Trance blue/orange colour scheme came to be. Short story, Giant ripped off my graphic design on my bike and used it on their 2016 design for the Trance Carbon 1 model. If you want to here the long storey I will be glad to share. I now have the 2015 frame graphics software file from Giant so I can do what ever colour combo I want.

Nice build of a great plane.

Great stuff Pat. Making my own decals is another area I want to get into. Just need to get a good app and printer first.

Oh man you really need to try a dropper post out. It's like suspension, you never knew how great it was until you have used it.

Thanks. Yup some of the best tech trails anywhere in the world right in my back yard. I work for 9point8, we make one of the best dropper post on the market. Have you herd of us? Here's a link to our page http://www.9point8.ca I may be down in the area this fall for what is being tagged as Interbike East.

Thanks for the post guys. I figured they would loose their value. But glad to see the new release coming soon.

Some good pics and rides posted up here. nice ride Mike. Been riding all my life, raced BMX in the 80's. Been riding MTB since 1990. My wife and I spend winters riding in Sedona.

Looking real good, nice scratch building.

Thanks Mike.

Fantastic build.

Looks pretty convincing to me, nice weathering.

Nice little build, I have no idea how you guys build those tiny planes. I have a couple 1/72 scale planes in the stash but they are huge planes in 1:1.

What a daunting task, nice work it looks great. I bet it looks pretty awesome in a dark room

Very cool looking!

Very cool! Nice paint scheme, much better then the kit red. A throw back to the '80's style of graphics.

That turned out really good, nice work Ray.

Some really good mods going on here. Keep it coming.

I love this, absolutely fabulous, great weathering and execution.
