My clear of choice is DuPont Acrylic Spot Clear. Expensive but with one can you can clear half a dozen models.

Loving the look of this one, Mr. Most.

Well done, and a great addition to your collection.

Love the look of this one so high off the ground. Perfect color too.

And you are invited. We are trying to grow it into an on-going blog/conversation. http://www.doctorcrankyslabratory.blogspot.com/

Actually, I think lots of cities (like Los Angeles) will have no choice but to return to trolleys and mass trans. Either that or it will just turn into Blade Runner. LOL.

I personally will neither ride in a car without a driver or a plane without a pilot. Airlines would love to fly 500 heads of cattle (what I call passengers) without having to pay a pilot. I think all of this comes from the fact that the railroads shed the caboose many years ago and others think they can use the same technology to save money in other modes of transportation. In any case, I think this is into a future I will not be a part of, I think.

I wonder how all of this will play in the courts when say one of these (or multiple) crash or malfunction AND crash.

Thanks to everyone who's been watching. Best, DC

Thanks, Crankyheads. I appreciate the kind words of support.

Marvelous, I love it. Thank you for sharing it.

Love it, Calirides. Man, that is one cool and different style build. LOVE IT!

Thank you, folks, and yes, we can always use MORE COWBELL.

I look at any model that is well and clean built and where I think the builder has had quite a bit of fun thinking outside the box!

Thank you, Carl.

Well done, Bruce, it's a beauty.

Thanks, Michael, glad you are keeping an eye on UTUBE. Here's a little graphic.
