Very nice.... Makes me want to break out my NewMan kit. These Tamiya kits rule. Bob

Kleeeeeen.... I'll echo Dave's sentiments and say it's about time to see one other than a stocker. Super Sano Assembly. Bob

Saweeet! Dirt cars getting respect. Bob

Congrats to you and your blushing bride. Quite the thing to find someone you click with. Bob

More fantastic work JT. Stunning....... Bob

Why didn't I think of that? I love this thing. BRIGHT colors? Bob

Looks outstanding John. Over the top the way I like em. Bob

I'm going to get one.. Thanks G-Man. Bob

This is going very well indeed gents. As a middle of the road builder I'm always sniping things from those here I admire. Be it a small item that needs work on my own builds, to tutorials about things that make me think "Wow, why didn't I think of that?" I've grown as a modeler from being here and exchanging ideas. I've never really received any harsh words about my builds but perhaps those that had something to say decided not to. And that's not always right. Say what you gotta say about my work, I can take it. It's a piece of plastic, not my progeny or some other creation I truly have deep feelings about. As a musician who writes music I've grown a thick skin due to such matters. In music, "Art" is very subjective. Not completely unlike what we do with plastic. I think it comes down to an emotional response when "higher" art is criticized. Music, painting, sculpting et all fall in this catagory, and it's difficult to remain objective when such things touch chords that perhaps this hobby does not. And not that this hobby cannot touch chords. I have witnessed it firsthand here on many occasions, I think that my main thrust here is that the dialog is open, no one's panties are getting put into a twist. And there are thoughtful comments all around. I see things in almost every build I have ever seen here that could probably be improved, certainly mine included. So what does a poster do? I comment when I feel the subject is worthy, keep my hands OFF the keyboard if I feel something is just plain unattactive. And give thoughtful praise to those I see improving over time. We all have a right to our opines, it's how we voice them that makes the difference to those who receive our words. The dialog continues. Bob

So nice......... I'm getting cramps from writing all these Kudos today. Outstanding build here bro. That Ga clay is an exceptionally nice touch. Slinking back to the bench. Bob

"Under Glass" is a JACKPOT today! Beautiful car. Bob

Geez-Loooweez that is incredibly well executed!!!!!!!! That last pic is truly excellent. The paint is Muy Smoooth............ WOW. Bob

Regardless what the rivet counters say that is every bit the Trans Am I know and ........... Kinda loathe.. The TPI looks spot on. and the build is MUY Excellante'. Is there an IROC kit out there of this vintage? Paint is also stunning BTW. Bob

Here, Here brother. Well thought out and articulated. Sage advise all of it and I would caution new builders to heed it wisely. I myself start many projects only to return them to the box for an unknown length of time. The trick is to know when it's time to open it back up with perhaps fresh eyes. The basics are just that, BASICS. Get them down first before you explore the world of whatever it is that tweaks you. Like customs? Go ahead and chop a top, but have a box stock build going as well [You're a modeler, having 2 going is childs play for us]. Switch between them as you hone your chops on the goal you have set for yourself. There are many "Basics" builder tutorials within this site. Do a search and be amazed at what you'll find. I'm amazed every time I do. Bob

Very nice tribute to a super sweet guy. You watchin Jerry? Bob

Ambitious and well executed Brett. I'm watching this one all the way buddy. Bob

If they re-issue that Mongoose RE dragster I will have officially gone to heaven. I'll print up my own decals for the Snake. I know that Snake is not with it when it comes to licensing his likeness. I have not built one of these since..... Well, when they first came out actually. I compared the pix [Lotta good that sometimes does], but the front spoiler and scale are what are making me hopeful for this one. I looked at all the other RE Revell stuff and that exact front spoiler is not on any of them. Let's hope Bob

UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE, Shane............ I need a fix of this one. Looks fantastic. Bob

Sweet foiling job on this one. Color combo is darn nice. Bob

It would be another 3 years before I would grace this planet with my presence. Bob

Wings fall, Caps fall, Tampa will fall. Thomas is just too much for them. Even though Boston's PP % is 5.4 [Worst ever]. Go B's! Sat @ 8:00 Game 1 Bob
