Dragline

Built with the Fire Fighter reissue. I bought original decals of the MPC kit off eBay thinking they'd be better than the SLIXX ones. WRONG!!!!! They were soooooo thick. My gosh...... The blue didn't meet in the back. But I perservered. The side billboards were a nightmare. It still sits to high on the front. But I'll button that down though it still won't be totally correct. This was a quick build of sorts. Plug wires, shoulder harness and tach wire only. Tamiya Chrome Yellow over Duplicolor white primer. It needs a chute and the hood finished [still looking for a correct snorkel. Any leads?] Glad to have it in my stable. I'm on a Pro Stock kick lately RIP Don Nicholson. Bob

Garsh...... Those are as helpful as I could hope for. That is the car I am building of course. Model master Clasic White last night. I have the [Tamiya Bright red] red applied tonight. It came out sweet!! Soooo, I am about to decal it and those shots will make a difference in the way I build it. Every little bit counts. You guys are the greatest. My Thanks Bob

Or maybe "The Lemon Squeeze?" Bob

I like it a lot. This car seems to take to a LOT of different colors. First I've seen in yellow but it works. Of course the "cherry" in Cherry Bomb is no longer there. Please name it. Bob

I have plenty of exterior shots. I need a couple of engine/interior shots though. I Googled of course. Seems unlikely there are any out there. Anyone? Bob PS: I turned this thread into my WIP.

The old mans truck is cool Terry. I have my old mans 72 ULH. I keep it as cool as it always was. Bob

Here is my daily driver my 2000 Chevy Cavalier SS. The SS was strictly an appearance package developed by JBA Chevrolet in Glen Burnie MD. But, being a mechanic and all around hot rodder I added a few tweaks. Mainly a cat back with free flow, larger TB, and a chip as well as better brakes and wheels and tires and stiffeners front and back. It scoots and get looks. It's got killer tunes of course. Bob

Guys, have a look at Dave's AA/FA in the Bog Boys section and be prepared to be WOWED. Big scale definitely has its advantages. EPIC STUFF!!!! I may just end up building at least one of these big cars. I just need to pony up the dough. I'm floored. Bob

Well Dave, let me be the first to say HOLEY MOLEY DUDE!!!!! Everything looks so spot on and realistic. Your skills are welcomed here for certain. I saved the pix to gawk at from time to time. Epic build brother..... Bob

This is gorgeous. I got one last week. Inspiring builds both. Bob

This is shaping up nicely Shane. Well done on the injectors as well.. Finish er up man........... Bob

Impressive indeed sir. That decal scheme looks to be a nightmare.... Paint some red, some silver it looks like. Very, very nice. Bob

I learned something here. I have a bottle of this and tried it on tires and it was awful. BUT, using it as a flattening agent [it's true use] is what I'll now do. Thanks guys Bob

Holy Moly Charlie. I lived all around that city, but mostly the west end. My last residence was on Cottage St. The corner of Cottage and Smith St. That town has a lot of problems. No work, I could go on and on. Good for you on getting outta there. The "fawn" color? I was just going to go to the Hobby store and hope it was sitting there. Hmmmm, you got me wondering now. I'll come up with something. Bob

Here we have Dragline's workbench on a Saturday... Lindbergh 1966 Chevelle SS in the offing. Ooooh, looks like a metallic blue of some sort.... Interior to be a "Fawn" color. This is my kitchen table. I live alone [mostly] so I take my meals in either the living room in front of my 50" Samsung, or at Mums or my girls. I spray my stuff at Mums in her basement. I set it up pretty sweet and she doesn't mind the occasional fume or two. And yes, I am this neat usually. Chaos and me have never mixed. It works for some though. Bob

I'm liking this one... Keep it going and tell us who's car it will be... TOP FUEL... where the money and the glory LIVES! Bob

OK, I wanna build one............. John, please feel free to roam the archives we have here. You're libal to find some nice AA/FC's and Diggers to comment on. Lots of talent around here when it comes to Drag Racing. I'm not saying that because I build Drag cars almost exclusively... LOL Take a look bud. Nice Snake ride there. Bob

I am so building one of these!!!!!!! Yours looks so great dude..... Thank You for sharing..... Bob

Truly impressive with all the thinning and prep work. This is one to watch and the end result is going to be a show stopper I'm certain. Bob

I think this is the coolest car I've seen in some time. It has a Joe Satriani vibe going on which I dig. Satch is a Lamborghini fan I think. As an artist, I have tremendous admiration for your patience in doing this. Bob

I'm going to pick a couple of those up. I remember when they came out in the 80's. I was sure they'd be tricky kits. Monogram decals of that era are not the best. Looks like you got around all the kits foibles to create a great finished model. Looks like it's Millah Time! Bob

Repeated exposure [covered here] is indeed the problem with MC. Also, no matter where it's absorbed, it gets processed by the liver. In time liver failure is the result as well as other complications. Bob

This is super nice. I am watching. Bob

Gorgeous all! I would argue it's the quality not quantity. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Very nice indeed sir. Bob

Killer build John. It's begging for a set of PE rims. Bob
