I have to say I do like the NO COLORS rule for most places . . . it helps keep things orderly.

Oh you trickster you! This one is hard.

Don looks happy enough! Keep it going.

Adam, this rat has a lot of attitude. I really like it, and the pictures are pretty cool too.

Mark, all that gold is looking right in place. Good progress.

I have a truckload of projects in progress, so adding one more is not going to get me to build any faster. I will look around and see what I have here . . . I do think this will be a fun build.

Looking good, Jerred, and Roger, welcome back . . .

Nice and subtle and very well done, Chuck. Super realistic.

This kit always builds into a wonderful model, and yours is no exception. Wonderful job. Thanks for sharing it.

It sounds like you ride, John. Ever make it out to Sturgis from Cali on a bike?

Mike, I wanted to go to that one. Please take lots of pictures, and share them with us here. It's always a great show. Have fun.

I know I built lots of glue bombs when I started, but after I got back into the hobby as an adult, although I have some pretty bad builds, nothing ever came close to those GBs!

I like the color . . . hope you make more progress on it soon.

Micheal, yes, it must have been a shock. I remember the first time I could not believe there were so many thousands of motorcycles on the streets. It was and still is a crazy scene and car drivers must drive on at full alert.

Ken, that turned out real nice, and you probably have the earliest TZH SQUAD VEHICLE on the books.

Rob, I love the idea . . . this is a wonderful way of bringing together both civilian and military builders.

Moving along at a great clip, John. The eye candy has started to roll off your bench again. Loving it.

Looking good, I can't wait to see more . . .

I would agree with you, Wayne. I think the cops have their hands full, and they try to be as reasonable as it is humanly possible given the fact that everyone is drinking and then riding motorcycles. I mean, it's still a very wild scene. Yes, I will keep you posted. I usually try to go to BikeOktober Fest and I just might this year seeing as to how BIKE WEEK was a total wash this year. I think if it rains again this weekend, lots of people are going to go broke, or not meet their expected earnings, which is going to make it tough for them to return next year.

Some of these kits on the list are some of my favorite kits to build, like the 41 Willys. Thanks for sharing this list.

You did a beautiful job on that paint job, and the model turned out sweet. Congratulations.

James, I love the way this one is sitting and looking so far. Very nice.

This is the least number of photographs I've ever taken at a Bike Week. The rain would just not let up. Lots of people were bummed about it. Nothing sadder than a whole bunch of beautiful bikes getting soaked in the rain. The hotel rooms were packed. I hope this coming weekend will be a different story.

Well, just came back from the first weekend of Bike Week 2012 in Daytona Beach. Unfortunately it rained most of the weekend, keeping most show bikes under cover, but I did manage to find quite a few interesting bike, paint jobs, and yes, even some cool cars . . . I am hoping those of you going for this second weekend will have much better weather and much more fun.

Nothing short of beautiful, Hamilton. And you got the graffiti to look just right too. The scene is coming together so well. Can't wait to see the truck loading up up front . . . the machines connecting the two parts of the diorama.
