Great job, Jim. Wood looks very realistic too.

Very cool rendition. Thank you.

I can see a cop taking pride in his wheels. I like this build.

Looking good, looking forward to more progress.

Wonderful job, and the results are outstanding.

Very nice model. I love the colors and the decals sure do make it pop.

I like it, I think it's a cool model.

I build to stay focus on creativity, which is the best use of time. I try not to pay too much attention to what is going on in the real world, and certainly I do not waste any time listening to news or debating anyone else on absurd topics like politics and religion. Life is too short not to spend it building something.

It's going to require lots of love and even more money.

Enjoying every step of this one. KUTGW.

Love them both, but the yellow one is my of my faves of your recent builds.

Hope to see you get back into the rhythm of building, buddy. Cheers.

Gorgeous paint and model. Beautiful indeed.

Wow, this build is an absolute treat. The engine bay is pure eye candy. Thank you, Luke.

Love this build, Jason. Make sure you send the very best photographs you can take of it in to us. Best, DC

Really enjoying the winter eye candy.

Beautiful job, Pat. Wonderful build.

Most of the time is that I definitely lose interest. I'm trying this year to go back through and finish as many projects as I can from the abandoned pile.

Ira, what a superb year and collection. Your imagination is a real gift.

I use mine for acrylics. I have not tested it with urethanes and lacquers. I too would like to know how they stand up to those paints.

Thanks for letting us know. Looks like a great volume for the collection.

Personally, I really liked the 57 Ford.

Here's some recent Donn Yost eye candy for your viewing pleasure:

LOL, regardless of how the OLD MAN pronounces it, he sure does build one sweet Willys.

I think it's a combination of a lot of factors, which is why HOBBY LOBBY (it's really not a hobby store, it's more of a crafts store) decided to thrown in everything, including cheap furnishing, under the same roof. Between the crafts and the art supplies and jewelry, they get lots of traffic. Most mom and pop hobby shops have catered to the RC car, plane, and boat markets. It's also a bad economy getting worse every year as jobs dry up and we keep allowing companies to go abroad to set up shop.
