Excellent work.

Wonderful models, lots of interesting subjects.

Already making great (and fast) progress, John. Looking real good, and it's going to be a huge build.

This one is definitely going to look different. Keep it going.

Thanks for the link, Tim.

Happy birthday, J.

Jerred, I really like this build. Lots of details to look at, and I like it with the horizontal blade. Keep up the great work! And that goes for everyone. I was out of town for the weekend and have returned to load up on all the wonderful eye candy. Best, DC

You are right, Rob, by building models we are saving ourselves thousands of dollars! Thank you for all the great support and comments. I just got back from a washed out first weekend of Bike Week at Daytona Beach. It rained all weekend!

I still rattle can some things like primer and certain flakes, but a builder without access to an airbrush is a bit limited only to certain types of paint jobs. Graphics are very hard to do on a model without an airbrush, unless you just do decals all the time. I don't know, I feel the airbrush offers a great deal more control and possibility to paint jobs. That's just my opinion, of course, I know builders who get lots of great results using the rattle can.

No offense taken, Wayne. Donn just offered out of friendship, and although I can decal my own vehicles, I knew he would put some cool stuff on there and so out of friendship we agreed and the magic happened. Now I have a build that will forever be ultra special in my collection.

LOL, thanks everyone. Jim, not making any promises about the rusty stuff. You know it runs in my blood too! Mike, thanks for bringing out more of the bling with your photo magic . . . More soon, stay tuned in. Have a great weekend, folks.

I can't wait to see how you are going to do the realistic flames, John, that's going to be a real treat.

Thanks, John. I appreciate the kind words. We are always trying . . . you know, that's what painting is all about. The best paint job is always the NEXT. Here's a video I hope some of this bling shows through better:

Here's a walk around:

Here's some progress. This one fought me here and there but I think it turned out pretty well, including all the last minute details which include ghosted skulls on the sides (they appear as you move around it in the sun, although I don't think the pictures will show it . . .) Now that it's in clear and buffed, I can turn my attention to the chassis and the rest of the build. I'd like to see this one finished soon. Enjoy: Different set of wheels . . . I still like the Duo Tones from Hoppin' Hydros . . .

Wow, that's one fast Mustang. Great vid, thanks for sharing it. Thanks, Derrick.

LOL, I think after you see what it looks like now it might just be better to call it the SPACE CADET VAN or something like that. Stay tuned in for some more progress.

You mean the real thing. I'm sure Donn can chime in terms of the source for these decals. We both wanted something that had light blue on the edges . . . a Mustang like this would look very cool indeed.

Thanks, Erik. Stay tuned in for more progress.

Thanks, Ray. Well, with a name like yours you better believe you gotta build more Cobras!

Beautiful! Outstanding and clean and smooth, and a RIGHT HAND drive, wow!

Beautiful, Hamilton. Love the "mood" pictures. This thing is going to kill everyone at the NNL East.

It's amazing work that goes on out there in this beautiful hobby. Lots of Styrene Addicts building their hearts out. This is an amazing build.

Just when you think you've seen it all. Wow, I'll be watching this one. Keep it going.

Looks cool, nice build indeed.
