Looking at it in retrospect, I have to say it's all been good, even for the people who collect them now only to resell them for a lot of dough.

LOL! Hey, John, feel free to share some of that styrene eye-candy stash with us! Welcome and cheers!

Great graphics . . . .

I like the looks of it.

I like the look, sleek and mean, and down in the weeds! Or rather, the slot rails!

Wow, that's going to be one sweet ride. Keep it going, please.

Very nice. I like it.

Oh my, that's scratch-building at it's finest. Great work. Can't wait to see more. And EYEGORE is feverishly searching for a new fire hydrant with this one. WOW!

Oh my, love that color!

That looks super cool, and perfectly INSANE! I like it.

Good pictures . . . and the model looks nicely set.

They represent the worst of Capitalism morphed into a work-enslavement that hasn't been seen since . . . well, since slavery. You work cheap, or you don't work at all, and if you don't work at all, there's no place for you in society. American business have taken advantage of that and now the effects are quite obvious in both the economy here and in the rest of the world . . .

O boy, I love that figure. The whole build has plenty of attitude, I love it.

Beautiful! I tell you the more you practice, the better the flames get!

I hate wide white decals. Lately, I've broken out the circle template and some Vallejo white paint, and then YOU DECIDE how wide!

Loving it, great progress.

I don't live in the area, but whatever you do take your camera on the trip. You never know what kind of eye candy you will find.

I can't help but to think of it this way too. What if there was only one kit left, and it was the most horrible kit you had, would you still build it? Is your styrene addiction such that you would still tackle it as a project? You bet!

Wow, this is looking fabulous. Great work.

Kalmbach could care less, they are the ones who remaindered it to begin with, which upset a few people . . .

Nice trucks . . .

And the amazing engine displays continue . . . truly marvelous. Thank you for sharing.

China still doesn't respect copyright or intellectual property rights, so it would not surprise me . . .

Thanks, everyone. Today I am working on a base for it so that I can display it and added some smaller touches, including brake lights, etc . . . I should have this one done by tomorrow. Cheers, DC

I'm loving it. Great work so far, please keep it going, those colors are going to fit just right.
