  1. I agree, they should be able to do several scales from one take, no?
  2. Hope to see some pictures when you get going. Looking forward to it.
  3. Very interesting. Keep it going . . . I think it's going to be a fun build.
  4. Congrats to the winners. Also, I am sure they were measuring the green hot rod for the show, not to really make a model copy of it, although they might.
  5. I don't know how many of you have seen this, but I found it very interesting . . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9AZ995BBI&feature=feedlik
  6. That is one small motorcycle. Amazing. It's probably smaller than N gauge . . .
  7. Beautiful work. Nice collection you have there. Wow.
  8. Wow, that looks great. I love building different subject matter, it helps keep the juices flowing.
  9. I like this model, the paint color is perfect and the decals add another wonderful dimension to it.
  10. Thanks, Wayne.
  11. Whatever you do make sure you don your safety goggles!
  12. There are some new washes out there that work very well too. Vallejo black and brown washes are excellent. And they can be diluted and cleaned up with water.
  13. Sure, but EYEGORE needs lots of new fire hydrants! And rust!
  14. I'm intrigued. I definitely want to see more of this one. Keep it going, please.
  15. I'm in agreement with Chuck's choices, except I don't know who that VS fellow is? LOL! Seriously: two model builders and two of their very different models were instrumental in getting me back into the hobby, and striving to be the best that I could be (hum, I've heard that somewhere before), and you find that you are not in competition with anybody but yourself, to build better, to push your imagination, to increase your skills, etc . . . Here is Pat Covert's "Carnie Wagon," which I am happy to say it is now a part of the Lab-RAT-ory colleciton: It seems to me a model like this feeds the imagination for years . . . it really ruined me forever in terms of being so addictive . . . Here is Ken Hamilton's painted model that Pat Covert built . . . (it was one of the first amazing collaborations between two builders! Which resulted in a two-part great article published in Scale Auto Enthusiast (I think, or was it Plastic Fanatic?).
  16. He is "touched" with styrene genius and brilliance!
  17. You got to keep an eye out for unmanned flying objects.
  18. Good work so far. Clean and smooth building, please keep it going.
  19. One thing I've come to believe it about life is that it is ALWAYS going to be in the way. Like most things you love to do, you have to make the time.
  20. A classic, very nice. Love it.
  21. Looking real good. I love the color. Good details too. Nice, nice, nice . . .
  22. Beautiful red. Nice job. This one is going to look spectacular.
