Dragline

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

It's looking full blown to me Harry. Very nice indeed sir. This kit is enjoying a bit of a resurgence. Bob

This is coming out superb bro. Love all the details and am glad you posted up close n personal pics. Should be a show stopper when completed. Bob

Saw this on BBC's Top Gear and Hammond seemed upset it wasn't trying to kill him as often as most Lambos do. For my money this is hands down the BEST yet to come from that shop. OK the Countach is plain SEX. The Muira is dripping with Primordial ooze AND Sex. But this says P#SS oFF, i'm out for a jaunt. I'll be back in 14 seconds. WHITE is the color of choice for me. OH, NICE build BTW. I'm getting one as we speak. Bob

Absolutely Stellar driving and TRUE Balls To The Wall right foot action. This is where the talent and excitment is. I got chills watching this as compared to ANYTHING American. Motor Sport is still being done correctly somewhere at least. Even the NHRA has gotten boring for me with its cookie cutter cars. The only thing left is the straight up POWER those cars have. This is why I wax nostalgic with Drag Racing as well. GREAT Vid! Bob

Really? We are going to get 2 world class builds of this kit? OUTRAGEOUS! I'm watching this one. Oh, BTW, it's looking superb. Bob

Sanding anything is a PITA. But I do it because parting lines annoy me more than bad paint. Filling seams is the other thing I find particularly troublesome. But this I also do. The rest is a joy to me. Bob

STUNNING CUSTOM PAINT! I never use BOLD, but this deserves it and so much more John. Bob

Z'd to the MAX! I'm starting to dig customs more and more when I see them built like this. ATTITUDE! Bob

OK, that is seriously killer! Outta the park bro. Bob

Looks great buddy. You nailed the color. Bob

I've been watching from afar John, but this is sooo over the top buddy. The color coats are going to be a challenge and I for one will watch slack jawed as you knock it out. As always, STUNNING.......... Bob

Wowzers that has MAJOR eyeball appeal! Great color choice. Classy. Bob
