Those are fantastic. I agree about the cougar. Who doesn't love a cougar??? LOL Bob

That would be accurate sir. Bob I would have taken a front shot but the bumper was off when I turned it around. I'll get it back on eventually.

Lotsa lead in those there sleds. Nice all. Bob

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Bob

My camera crapped out in September and i really hadn't done much before that since summer usually sees no bench time. Amazon had a year end sale so i got a killer deal on a decent camera so I'm getting in just in time for the year end build posts that inevitably show up. First: The bench has morphed since that last time I took a pic for Saturday morning workbench. Just Pix, no explanations

Been at it all day today. I have several builds completed to post as well. My camera passed away back September and I just got one from Amazon's year end sale today. My hope is to post some finished builds before midnight. Bob

DPNM [Jim Sullivan] is another great trader. Superb kit and quickly sent to boot. Good on ya Jim. Bob

Cape Town eh? I have wanted to go on a white pointer tour for may years now but Cape Town seems like a world away. A cage dive would let me die in peace. Welcome to the forum Bob

They look like you might still smell drying solvents that's how fresh those two look. Outstanding both! Bob

I love the work, but one thing bothered me a bit. This statement: "I’m not saying he was crazy, but it just seems that way." WTH does that mean? Why would someone who makes things in miniature conjure such a thought or mental condition? Such an ideal reflects on us all here who craft things on a scale smaller than 1:1. Just a thought. Bob

That is a stellar build right there! That paint is very well done. Bob

About 1976 I got a big scale Lola Ford. Not sure whatever happened to it. I know it was too much for me at the time. Bob

I can picture Mrs Brady getting out of that and getting grocery bags from that back. Bob

2 things strike me immediately. The Cuda looks good in every color of the rainbow. And that green wagon floored me. The nicest design ever to come out of Chrysler in their entire history IMHO. Bob

This one's in my build queue. Came out great. Bob

Welcome and nice job Joe. This is one they need to reverse engy. It would sell well. Bob

Can't wait to get my corrected body from Greg either. Hope mine comes out half as nice. Bob

I'll be wanting this set up. Do let us know when it's finished. Bob

Very nice tribute. While not a fan of the F&F movies I did enjoy his appearances on Shark Men. 40 is is far too young to leave this plain and the irony of the circumstance is beyond weird. Do a great job. Bob

The Model Car Museum is NOT a Hall Of Fame. It's primary goal [from what i can glean] is to show the Industry as a whole and its progress through the years. As such, there should not be any limits [and none I could see] as to who is represented there. We lost Augie too early so his being there is really a no brainer considering his many accomplishments..But Juha Airio is probably the most competent builder on the planet. His inclusion is also a welcomed idea, and he seems FAR from retired. Were I inclined to tell TMCM how to go about their business [i am not] I would suggest a "Leading Lights" type feature showing the movers and shakers of the current time. Builders and writers alike. But it is a MUSEUM and as such, is constrained only by how it's board chooses to move. Museums can and often show current exhibits of modern works as a way to keep current and showcase things that will IN TIME, be permanent fixture worthy. What the OP seemed to suggest was an outright HOF. A completely different set of criteria and ultimately worthy of discussion. Bob

STUNNING!!!!!! Bob

Replacing the belts would be a weeks pay. Probably more. Bob

Looks great Brett. IMHO, the best looking Funny ever.. Bob
