  1. Deadlines, drama and grown men acting like little girls. I watched the first 3 minutes and that was enough. Building cars has nothing to do with that show. Bob
  2. UNREAL Don......... Truly Epic in proprtion and execution. Bob
  3. Geez.................. Thanks for the visual B
  4. There is a place for this and it ain't here friend. Look in the Swap, trade section. There you will find the "Great Trader" thread. Post your kudos there. Bob
  5. The last 2 new Revell Funny Car kits have chrome sprue with invisible attatchment points, so it is on their radar. If you don't build drag cars then you missed out. Great ideas around this place. Bob
  6. No doubt about it Cruzer, Lyle is Da Man! Bob
  7. Harry, REALLY? Self depreciation is unbecoming. Your paint is always top notch as far as I'm concerned. Bob
  8. A PROPER U.S. Supercar IMHO. Every angle is excellent and it's the first redesign that I like of this car. I loved the original when it debuted and this is the next step. The front has a tad Ferarri in it [not a bad thing], the rear is finally proper and sweet looking. The V10 still has that odd throat to it. 8 cylinders have a certain tempo that most of us are used to and a V10 seems strange [still]. But the exhaust throat is the best I've heard from a V10 [being on Vid and not in person]. I like it better than a Vette and i'm a Chevy guy mostly [Fords are great as well, I'm not one of those]. But I still like the exhaust note from a co-workers 2012 GT500 better. I got to drive that one so maybe I'm prejudiced. Still, all in all, A Grand Slam in my eyes. Very nice. Bob
  9. Parts count seems low for near 300 clams. Got to figure aftermarket will set you back at least another 80.00 or so if it gets made. I'm also on the fence with this one. Not enamored with the 1:1 either but i thought with the maker and scale it would be a super detail BONANZA. It can be, don't get me wrong. I was just hoping for higher parts count. What is the parts count BTW? That looks like the inside and parts count to a Fujimi 1/25 scale Enthusiast kit Bob
  10. Totally Bitchin! Bob
  11. We will miss Da Grump..... Godspeed to Chevy's answer to those nasty Hemis.. That man FORGOT more about Chevrolet engines than most will ever learn. Bob
  12. Say what you will about the price, but those results are Fantastic! There did seem to be dreadful waste. There are better ways to deliver it I'm sure. Bob
  13. I cannot wait for that Petty kit! I'm buying several. Thanks Bob I was always partial to MPC kits.
  14. Absolutely impeccable craftsmanship. STUNNING. Bob BTW, the 2nd and 3rd pics look like the real thing.....
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. SCARY realism. Bob
  18. This is great! Thanks Ted and Charlie. Even an old dog like me learned plenty watching this. It's appreciated. Bob
  19. Now THAT looks interesting. I'm on it. Bob
  20. 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
  21. Should be availablr everywhere as far as I can tell. I bought mine locally here in Baltimore http://videoeta.com/movie/130569 Bob
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
