Dragline

All of Tim Boyd's postulating about FE diggers got me amped up so I dropped my current project of some Warhammer 40K figures to throw down on this kit. It is largely done but why not share what has been accomplished up to this point. Scratched up a better mag as well as a K valve and hat distribution. Threw on some ignition and it's a party. The decals are super nice and thin and relatively tough enough for my rather clubby mitts. I would say I am at the 90% mark. This as far as this wip session goes but thanks Tim for inspiring me to rip into this kit. One more digger on the shelf is always a good thing as my Garlits collection continues to grow.

I did not know that. Thanks for dropping that knowledge. I am gonna check that boxing out.

Is no one going to remark on Evil Iron being reissued? I believe that was a one and done from back in the day. Those big trike kits were always something I drooled over but never got until one Cristmas saw my aunt Claire give me a Dragon Fire. I for one hope they dig em all out.

Harry would have been over the moon. He loved him some brass era cars. Nice collection, and yes some close ups would be nice.

Looks like The Rattler molds have been found. It will take some work but the bones are here. Who knows what else Atlantis has. They are going to announce 15 new kits next week. Yes, 15!

Gorgeous...

Exhaust are getting gloss black for some Alclad chrome. But I was so stoked that the finish line was in sight. Various Vallejo and Citadel acrylics used. The little fly got put on some thin wire and he floats there. I realize he is tough to see. No airbrush on this one. 100% brush on paint.

Seriously nice decal work. This and the CLK are in my stash but I keep avoiding them.

Stunning at every angle.

Well played. By the looks of it the competition was heavy duty.

I' m Chevy guy with a weakness for 67/68 sports roof Mustangs. But this is one I would not hesitate to drive anywhere. Stunning build.

Outstanding Cruzer! Great color choice and execution.

Geez aloo! That kit has never looked better than that. A triumph Sir!

One of the all time beauties. She seemed to be near ageless. And has was said, she got sexier as she went through life. R.I.P. pretty lady.

Beautiful builds all. I need to pick all these up before they get pricey.

Insane in the membrane! Lotta work there. Impressive.

I do, I do indeed.

I am sorry. I thought Tailspin was Disney Ducktails. I am wrong?

Keep the faith brother. Our reward awaits we who are faithful. I am 58 and I see where it is going for me as well. My faith will pull me through.

I think it needs ducks.

Muy Fantastico! So much to look at. Never stops delivering.

Utter brilliance! 3D printing cannot be overstated as a tool for building what the minds eye sees.

Subscribed and a fan a while back.

Totally crushed it Bob. I have one.... I looked in the box.. Said Ugh... Closed it. It clearly has potential.

An auto builder who can paint figures. They all fit their rides to boot. Well done.
