  1. Mike, that's in line with what might happen with the next one when the new kits I ordered arrive.
  2. Feel free to post a picture, Jim. I'm heading out to Daytona the second weekend, I think.
  3. Thanks, John, well, I don't know how much longer the shiny is going to be calling out to me but for now it's probably going to be over a few builds, then it's back to the dark side! LOL!
  4. Nice bike, Wayne. Mine started out stock, but then I couldn't resist a few small, but very comfortable modifications.
  5. Thanks, Roger. The band is called SUGARPIE AND THE CANDYMAN and it's a swing version of "ROCKNROLL/HEART BREAKER". Delighted you enjoyed it. Actually, this song could just as easily been done by the Squirrel Nut Zippers!
  6. Nice progress. I really like the frame, and I think the engine is going to make this one stand out. Keep it going.
  7. Ha, I knew you were going to say that. No worries, the change ain't happening yet. I am waiting for the bike to age and weather naturally and then I will make the change. When the pipes go, I will wrap them in tape. :lol:
  8. Richie, I can still see some imperfections on there. You want to have as smooth a surface as it is humanly possible before the paint. The suggestion for taking your time and being patient is a good recommendation. My plan of attack is always to get the most perfect body in primer possible, THEN I start thinking about the paint. Go slow, and have fun with each step. This is part of enjoying your own styrene journey.
  9. I just ordered a few more from the MODEL ROUND UP along with a couple of those Falcons I've been wanting to build. The styrene fun must continue!
  10. Dirk, great masking, wonderful results. Love the colors. You are making killer progress.
  11. Excellent on both counts. I've always wanted to do a before and after like this. Very cool, and thanks for sharing.

    Bat Pod

    Well, I did! That WOULD be a great TZH, buddy!
  13. We are talking about the body mods. LOL!
  14. Chuck, I feel like this too, but sometimes a kit is just not available, so I order on line, but you are right I check the LHS first and if they have it, I'm one happy camper.
  15. Excellent progress, everyone. Copied all the recent pics to the next video archives. Thanks.
  16. That turned out nice. I like the smooth look, and the colors are a beautiful choice. Excellent, thanks for sharing.
  17. Don't resist, Dirk. You are going to have a blast working on these. They go together real nice, and they look pretty cool. My only warning is that you might not be able to just build one!
  18. Junior, those are very cool. Nice builds. I think we've got another fine modeler in the making in our midst.
  19. LOL, Rick, a good Scrapple Sandwich will make the headaches go away!
  20. I don't know exactly what I have done to get this HE'S-A-JOLLY-GOOD-FELLOW song going on here, but hey, I'm just trying to have fun in this hobby, and this forum is full of great builders and wonderful friends. Here's a sound track that always reminds me of my styrene addiction:
  21. All right, Richie, here comes some tough love. Try to take a better picture, buddy, it's hard to tell what kind of texture you've got on that primer. You want to have as smooth a coat as it is possible. Also, I did the subject matter. Keep it going.
  22. Aw shucks, thanks my friends. Actually, Junior, you are right, I do have a nice bike and it's about to get a little crazier: Here it is now: And here are the new tins I just finished painting. A buddy of mine did the pinstriping. My hands are too shakey for pinstriping.
  23. Wonderful, Robert. Can't wait to see it.
