Absolutely impeccable craftsmanship. STUNNING. Bob BTW, the 2nd and 3rd pics look like the real thing.....

I'll stand by Chuck decals anytime. These are his on my Carefree digger and they are killer. I'm going to be buying that Snake Hot Wheels set Chuck. Didn't know you had those. Thin and work easily, Chucks are some of the best I have EVER used. Bob

Vernon, I am using the tires from the recent Revell reissue Funny Cars [Mongoose, JJ and Blue Max]. They have no sidewall markings are are the perfect size. Add decals and you are good to go. Bob

SCARY realism. Bob

This is great! Thanks Ted and Charlie. Even an old dog like me learned plenty watching this. It's appreciated. Bob

Off The Chizzain again John. This'll be good. Bob

Now THAT looks interesting. I'm on it. Bob

I missed my own Countryman Gil De Ferran... My bad Gil. My Portuguese spelling is atrocious but Ill give it a go [My speech is impeccable]. Im Gil pesaroso, sua carreira era absolutamente impressionante. Considerações,,,, Bob Frias Bob Frias Nao Prasta Pra Nada.....LOL

Should be availablr everywhere as far as I can tell. I bought mine locally here in Baltimore http://videoeta.com/movie/130569 Bob

I was unaware there was a thread. It's coming out on DVD is what caught my eye so I got it. Didn't mean to step on an ongoing thread. My bad. Bob

These are outstanding! WIP or anything else would be great. I'm currently in the planning stages of a super detail modern Top Fuel car. I have my reference but it's nice to get some push.... Bob

I just had the priviledge of watching this amazing film. For those who are not F1 fans it is a great way to see the Master at work. For those who are, well, it's Ayrton Senna so it's all good. A tragic feeling will come over you by the end, but the ride is amazingly visceral with a driver that ran the ragged edge at ALL times. As much as I care for Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost and even Schumacher, SENNA is a must see if you like planting your butt in a car of any stripe. Bob

As nice as I've EVER seen. The side accent color is a very nice touch and a sweet color. Bob

HEAVY DUDE.... Bob

That Standel is pretty mint. A nice OD in front of it would prob sound great. Bob

I also have those at the NAPA I work at. They are Martin Senour pearls. i have thought of getting some. There are some fine powders in there. Some may be too course for models though. Bob

Stunning both! Time really does fly. Bob

Another great build of this kit. I'm wondering if it can be built poorly? Great job. Bob

Yessir. I just e-mailed him and he said 50.00 U.S. per kit. Bob

Freaking BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! I'm getting me at least one of each. Thanks for posting this. Bob

A dangerous pair you say Sir? I wager I can wield this better than most. Less than some..... Perhaps an Mp3? I'll see what I can dig up.. Bob

Thank You Harry. Bob

I offered a bit but didn't show my prized baby? For shame... Here is my recently repainted 1985 Gibson explorer. I have owned it since new, and while I've owned many other fine guitars in all the years since, it remains my main guitar. A few famous people have played this guitar over the years [Names witheld] and it is currently with its last of its 5 finish changes. I own a few other guitars but this is what I play mostly these days. It's been on stages with 15 drunks in the room. It's been on stage with 2,500 raging nutjobs moshing as well. But mostly it's been my #1. Recently repainted in a color I custom mixed for it called Sunset Orange Metallic, I also finally went to EMG pickups as well. I was a DiMarzio guy for over 20 years until recently. It now houses the brand new JH EMG set and it screams like a demon through my ENGL Pwerball II. The Kahler was put on the first year I got it and is a PAF model. As old a Kahler as you can get aside from a prototype. I changed the nut to a Graphtek a couple of years ago. i wish I had known about them sooner. I have the neck natural with Tung oil for a slicker feel with a Gibson Custom Shop point for the look. Paint is catalyzed Martin Senour with a clear coat from the same maker. New Grovers round out the rebuild. Enjoy

The Zen in your title really drew me to this thread. I call my modeling my "Zen Time" to people I speak with about what it is i do for leisure. So, to speak to that part, it is the "Zen" of having tunes on and the TV off. It's about creating this thing in my mind and in pictures I've cobbled together to get it as close as can be to what end I am seeking. The "Zen" portion comes with the "mostly" relaxing feeling I get when I am whittling away on either the most hum-drum parting line, or attaching hand bent injector lines to the port section of a nitro fueler. It's a sense of all is right in the world, and I am present at its center with my accomplishment, however insignificant it may seem to the overall build or the world at large. "Zen" time is "Me" time. Good thread. Bob

Looks like a caliper bracket to me. Bob
