Bring it on, Tony and with that my T's to your name, how can you not help it but call your build: T n T?

Yes, I found those very strange and unexpected . . . but also part of what makes Mark so complex.

Tony, thanks for passing on the information to all of us. I think we all know photos are important because they are the daily eye candy. Also, that since we work so hard on our models, we always want to see them in the best light, best angle, etc . . . It doesn't mean you have to become a professional photographer or anything, it just means always try to take better pictures, that's all.

Billy, as soon as mine arrives I will share some pictures.

Sorry about your loss, buddy. My dog died two years ago and I hand fed it from the time he was 3 days old. He was born with a cleft palate. But he survived and gave me 4 wonderful years. The good memories is what lives on.

What is fascinating about this documentary, for me, is how they weave in the act of memory recovery through the building of dioramas and story telling. Also, it turns out Mark, the protagonist in his own recovery, is a fairly complex and enigmatic individual. Fascinating.

Hi, George, it's called MARWENCOL and you can watch it through NETFLIX. Here's a link to the webiste: http://www.marwencol.com/

Sounds like a cool idea, Ira . . . give it a go . . .

Folks, here's a great documentary (MARWENCOL) about a man named Mark who suffered brain damage after being attacked at a bar and he's started building these 1/6th (GI Joe/Barbie doll size) scale dioramas and it just turns into an amazing piece of film. You can check it out on NETFLIX. I think you'll enjoy it. Best, DC If you have seen it, let me know what you think.

I love these vans, and yes, Jimmy F makes a couple of good ones to go with the Lindberg kit parts.

I agree with Jim, coffin board all the way. So close to the paint now I can smell it! Keep it going.

Amazing work on all the little details. Everything is looking great. Please keep it going.

Rob, Rob, Rob . . . I can tell these builds are running thick in your blood now . . . you are too far gone on the rust and fun and building of it. GOOD FOR US! Okay, but you are not off the hook yet. All of these vehicles are just perfect, but, buddy, you gotta do them justice by taking better pictures of them. You need to take your pics in better light. Let's not blame your camera yet, but these are low-light, grainy and a little blurry. Now, don't take this the wrong way . . . but these models deserve better pictures . . . can you shoot them outside? Personally, my favorite so far is the second vehicle, which looks like you have so much work and parts put into it that I want to pour over all the little details. Well, you get the hint. More, BETTER pictures, please. Ten Hut!

LOL, Derrick, that's a perfect gift for the Zombie who has not bathed in . . . well, since they turned . . . HA! Perfect.

Looks like the perfect daily driver to me. Great engine bay. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

Sweet detailing on that dash board. This Caddy is going to really stand out. I can feel it. Nice going, now keep it going.

I like the color, and it's getting all the right elements to finish that perfect lowrider look. The finish is just around the corner.

This last one is very cool, but you know most car manufacturers are still playing a tug of war between making a "safe" car and a "beautiful" driveable machine, and for the last 30 years they have lost their way . . . thanks for sharing this.

That is one classy looking Ford and I think that mill is perfect.

Welcome aboard, Patrick. Can't wait to see what you cook up. Jim, I like the photo caravan very much, and I think for now that would work. Since we have so many folks building vehicles, I don't think it is going to be feasible to get them all in one place at the same time unless we all mail in our entries to say, the NNL East or some such show. I am sure some of the vehicles will undoubtedly make the rounds in the different shows closest to each builder. I am delighted to hear your head is filling up with ideas, and I for one expect another great machine coming from you. Cheers, DC

I've been tracking my vans from Atlanta. They should be here by tomorrow, I hope. I'm anxious to get started. So I know the feeling, Rob!

I just felt it too, I couldn't load the website for about 15 minutes.

Joe, welcome to the CARAVAN. That truck with all the right stuff will look perfect in the TZH Squad.

Welcome to the forum, Richard. I hope you will enjoy the company of all these other fine and wonderful (friendly to boot) builders too. When you can, share your work with us and if you have any questions, don't hesitate. Happy styrene journeys, cheers, Doctor Cranky

Isn't Terry part of this amazing group of builders on this forum? Perhaps he'll chime in . . . shortly . . .
