Dragline

One of my favorite cars of all time. Rendered perfectly by you Sir. UNREAL.. Bob

http://www.revell.com/germany/cars/80-7077.html#.Uf482ZKTjSg Says 202 pcs. Is it an older Italeri, Aurora or Fujimi tool? Is it in error since the info there is far from complete? Bob

The red is Tamiya TS-36 Flourescent Red over white primer. It is tricky since it get darker as layers are applied. So rule of thumb is 2 even coats and it's a dead on match.. That is cheaper for the blue Mike. I'll pass it along and try it myself. Hope I helped with the red. Bob

Tamiya TS-23 over white primer. Bob

That almost looks like a water swirl technique. The paint sits on the surface in many strands as you lift the body up through it. YouTube it to see what I'm talking about. It's big in guitar circles although I guess any item can be swirled. I'm just not certain all those colors could be done in one pass. Try dunk swirl or water swirl, and it may come up. Bob

Darlington Hobbies in Pawtucket is a great place. They do have a slot car drag race during weeknights and it can get crowded but he has a full range of kits and is a super guy. Bob

I'm with John. MOTOR!!! Bob

Hoo Doggy those are NICE..... Sign me up Bob

Man O Man Chris, just looking at that seat makes me feel safer already. Benchmark build bro. Bob

Most impressive. While they might not have every detail like engines [guessing here], what's there is impressive. Consider there are no molds in 1:5 scale and it boggles the mind. All the exterior details look spot on to me. Value must be many millions I wager as these are one offs by the folks who made them reality. Nice article. ob

I scour eBay for vintage skateboards. And while the good stuff sells at market or above there are pieces that I find for reasonable and sometimes downright giveaway prices. The key is stay vigilant. Bob

Truly out of the box. Welcome back to the hobby and build another. Hopefully this one gave you the pleasure of accomplishment you remember. Perhaps some paint is in order as well? This is clean so paint is only going to make them look that much better. Congrats Bob

Is that Star Drive-in off 140? I used to bring my Vega there in the 80's Bob

I got this same type of compliment some time ago Mr Bill. I display a car at my place on the counter at NAPA and change it every so often. My 09 Challenger in Tamiya bright green brought the same comment from a model builder no less. When I pulled the box from under the counter to show it was a kit, he kind of smirked and said "Great paint". I consider that a compliment for sure. FM and Danbury make some excellent replicas and their paint is generally flawless. That's a compliment in my eyes. Bob

When I open a fresh build it becomes "Pro" in some aspects. I expect a "Pro" build whenever I embark on a new project. As for how that works out, well.... I'll let others decide. For eBay builds? That requires a few things.... 1: Taste 2: Execution 3: Subject Matter No particular order mind you, but those 3 must be followed if you wish to sell a project at a profit. My .02 Bob

Grampa gets it done...... MORE!!!! B

Anyone headed to Old Bridge on Saturday and Sunday? If so please come by the NAPA Hospitality suite and say Hi. I'll be there representing NAPA and enjoying some Nitro.with my Pops. God Bless the NHRA. Bob

Awesome Rog. I'd like to see all your Pro Stocks in one pic. That would be a great pic. Bob

Neil Peart of Rush built/builds model cars while on the road. I understand he built a little of everything, from Muscle to F1. Bob

Insane in the Membrane!!! That putty work is the finest kind. The finish is perfect. WOW! Bob

Geez Chris, that's as real as it gets. This project will be a benchmark for others to aspire too. AND, anyone thinking of building this car can reference all your hard work. Now they just need the talent. Poor sods..... Bob

Got to see this up close at the MAMA meeting and it's a beauty. I'm far and away no expert on this car but it looks right to my eyes. And the molding is just superb. Very delicate in spots and crisp. I'll be getting a couple for certain. Bob

$69.95? GEEZ..............

Right back at Laz for a great trade. MCM RULES!!!!!!!!! Bob
