Well, I hear his voice in my head, Harry, if that's what you mean! He barks and I translate! -
Very cool, the Japanese also have a very cool version of this . . . and it works really well, and it IS totally reusable. Thanks, Mr. Cruz.

EYEGORE has a prediction to make about this thread, it's going to make it to 12 pages!
-
Greg, I agree, sometimes a simple, quick build works to get the creative juices flowing . . .
-
Beautiful work. I love it. You gotta display the model with a picture of the real thing at shows and people will see how spectacular your skills are! Congrats.

It's okay to be all grown up as long as we can still play with our toys!

Truer words have never been spoken!

Looking good, Chuck, keep it going, please, I am anxious to see how this one is going to turn out.
-
Looking great. They are coming together real well. More, more, more . . .
-
Woah, interesting frame choice. Is that built with left-over sprue? I like it. Keep it going.
-
The best place to begin is with tubing, both plastic and either brass and/or aluminum (I am thinking the prices will go up any day now!). Just get a variety of sizes, and that's a good place to start. The same with sheet styrene. The thinner sizes will work perfectly too.
-
Oh yeah, I love it. I was lucky I got to see that one and a whole bunch of other of Ricky's great builds at the show in Birmingham, I think it as 2006 or 2007.
-
The other good thing about say, Danbury Diecasts, is that they give you an idea how much money people are willing to spend on a built model. Which is good for those who want to sell their models. I think the more details (and aftermarket parts you throw in) the more you should charge.

#158 is a KILLER!

Keep up the good reading! -
I think we've officially entered an area where we might be writing poetry and we might just not know it!

I have a couple of diecasts that when I look at them it makes me feel like not building a model because they are really good, until I remember that someone had to assemble such a model somewhere . . . hum, let me guess: CHINA?

do not try this at home
Dr. Cranky replied to Lownslow's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
LOL, for a minute I thought you said Lab-RAT-ory, and then I ran into the workshop to see if you were there, but it was only EYEGORE at the fire hydrant. I think you need to do a how-to with this great information. -
Nice job and a nice line up of models for your collection. Congrats.
-
ERIK, in my book that would make an absolutely GREAT and lasting DIORAMA, which DEFINITELY BELONGS in MCM!
-
Where I live riding lawn mowers ARE cars . . . people who lose their liscense ride them over to the liquor store!
-
Making great progress. Take your CRANKY VITAMINS and keep it going!
-
Ha! EYEGORE loves all things metal! Doctor Cranky has a powerful styrene addiction, between those two there's room for all types of modeling in the world!
-
EYEGORE loves this thread. EYEGORE loves articulate, well-behaved conversation! Doctor Cranky, on the other hand, likes to rile things up.
-
I've tried really hard to be generous and not bash any one magazine in particular because Doctor Cranky is losing weight and he is trying to become more human!
-
I disagree about "other" magazines . . . I think a magazine that changes things up periodically and is able to maintain a sense of humor about itself is bound to outlast the competition. There's a hunger for new subject matter, that's for sure, and talking about the same things over and over ain't going to cut it.
