Dragline

Absolutely TWISTED build. This is a good thing. The details are just right as well. I'm watching Bob

Got a little more work done on my Starliner project. This is truly a wonderful kit. One more polishing session and the body is ready for BMF. Interior is coming along as well as the motor. Just some plug wires and maybe a brake line from the master cylinder. Perhaps some battery cables to bring it all to life. Thanks for looking. Bob

Absolutely fantastic Roger. You Sir, have arrived. Bob

I'm no truck guy but I'd be proud to say I built that. Very nice indeed sir. Bob

Looking VERY good Bill. Looks like you are off to a grand start. The camber seems OK to me considering the nature of the beast. Perhaps a slight spindle adjustment is in order to bring the inner wheel closer to the ground but that's it. I'll be watching this for a color. Ambitious body mods. See you at the store. Bob

The talent level around here continues to rise. Wheels aside this is a gorgeous build. Bob

STUNNING in EVERY respect! This is the best take on this I've ever seen. The silver interior is perfect. [slinks back to bench]. Bob

Geez John, you keep upping the ante.. A couple of those pix could pass for the real thing. Your work is stellar as usual. I've come to expect nothing less at this point. SUPERB! Bob

Yeah, I'm digging the color more and more. There are a few boogies yes. They will not make the trip however. The polish will see them off in fine style. Motor has been 1/2 assembled and wired. I'll throw some more pix up soon. Yeah Bill, this may make it to work. Bob

Great work but isn't there a resin one already out there? Bob

Since I've been in a funk latley with my builds I decided to buy a kit and build it in one month start to finish. Not a lot of extra detail per se. More of a "Can I still have fun doing this" thing. So I picked the AMT 1960 Ford Starliner kit. First off, GOSH what a great kit this is! I'd seen the photo top version from some years ago and thought it was a great car, but after doing some research about it and digging out some old mags I am really loving this design. So, on the first of this month I opened the kit and started in on it. Got the body sanded and ready for primer in a couple of days and layed down some Duplicolor flat white. When I bought it I knew EXACTLY what color I was painting it. Whether it was factory correct or not I was painting it Tamiya Coral. I think it's TS-49? I'd been lusting over the color since I first set eyes on it but since I'm basically a drag car builder it never was appropriate. So here it is after 3 color coats and 2 coats of Testors 1814 clearcaot. I'll buff it out in a few day and get ready for at least 3-4 sessions wiith the BMF. I also have the PE detail set on the way as well. Thought I'd share how I'm getting out of my funk. I picked a car that doesn't have to be exact, and it's sort of out of my comfort zone in an odd sorta way. But it's car model, not sure how out of the zone it could really be at any rate. Hope you dig the color. Bob

I NEED more pix because THAT is NICE! Bob

I have 2 of these and I have NEVER ever tried one in all the years they have been including them. Looks great. Bob

Great start Brett! You are expanding your horizons and I like where you are headed. Bob

I'm building one to get out of a funk as well Donald. I like your color combo. I'm going with Tamiya TS-49 Coral blue with an ivory interior and coral accents. Yours is looking good. I'll be staring a WIP thread soon for mine. Determined to get outta tha funk. Bob

Here ya go.. DONK! Bob

Super tight! T-Bolts RULE! Bo b

Perservere Roger. It's looking fantastic. You got it in you to see this through and come out winning. Bob

Easy, Aurora 1/16th AA/FC kits and asessories. Bob

I'll throw my hat into the ring as well here. Between Battlefield II, guitar, beer and work I am working less on my projects than ever. BUT, I now have a cure. It's called AMT 1960 Ford Starliner and I plan to see it through to the end over this coming month. Yep, it's NOT a drag car and I will finish it by the end of February. There, I threw the gauntlet down on my own self. [Getting to work]. Bob

I'll post a pic this afternoon guys. Yep, you can spray 1814 over EVERYTHING. I know because I've tried. Bob

Holy Moly Bill! That 99 will wear the inner part of those tires out in a week. Must be the control arms doing it. Looks like a tear apart/rethink is needed on that one buddy. Bob

I was tempted to pass up clicking on this one because a great many scale flame jobs don't look all that great. WOW!!!!!!!!!! One of the best I've ever seen. Share your technique with the rest of us please. Perhaps a tutorial. Bob

I [and many others] use clear acrylic to attatch PE parts. It's clear [Duh], and will not fog the part. If you mess up simply drip some thinned ammonia on it and try again. Bob

Ca-Ranky, You Are Ca-Razy!!!! Good stuff. Bob
