Jay Leno had this artist in the shop last year I think.

It's way on the back burner, but I love a build by a competent modeler like yourself. I will learn much I'm certain.

Yeah, it's the big bugger.

Something you don't see every day for sure. Sweet.

I congratulate you on getting it done last year. I have 2 of these and I think I need to build at least one of them.

All of those are very nice.

30 is impressive by any standard. They all look great.

Looks great. I really have to get a couple of those kits they look fun. I have a few IMEX HD kits and they are fiddly but very detailed.

About 1/12 or so Dave. Perhaps 1/14.

I built these this week in an effort to pad my personal numbers of complete builds for myself this year. These two make an even 10 as my resin Elf Queen seems to go on and on with no end in sight. A few warts but these were never intended to conquer the world of modeling, but instead just have fun and just paint and assemble something simple that looks good on the shelf. Which reminds me, I need new shelves. Glad to see this horrific year come to a close another 30 or so hours. Good riddance 2020.

I have the two seater Revell offering and I am interested in learning about aviation modeling so I have watched a great many hours of Scale-A-ton and Plasmo on Youtube. I highly recommend them both as they are top flight builders who are not afraid to share their techniques with the world. I'll be watching this closely.

As a result of all my sales are in the toilet. Even on items that should have long sold due to their rarity and pricing. I sell mostly comics on eBay and was a dealer for 25 years and a collector most of my life. I have truly great inventory and it's just been languishing. I did sell a Fujimi Enthusiast Porsche 356 B/C and a few resin items recently. I have yet to send them and informed the customers that even if I send them they will just sit and get banged around waiting. The customers have been super easy to deal with and only one was kind of a hothead but cooled when what he has sold had been in USPS limbo for 2 weeks and saw where I was coming from. It's just a giant mess.

I sell a LOT on eBay. It's one of my main sources of income right now. I sold two vintage skateboards on Dec 7 and sent them them on the 9th. They have had ZERO updates and are still in limbo. I insured the to the hilt of course but I filed a "where's my package' and got phone calls assuring me they were not lost. That's 20 days in the pipeline and one of them cost 61.00 to ship. They will be hearing from me once it's all over and they are delivered. The guarantee of delivery within a certain time limit was lost over 2 weeks ago.

Sold American!

"Standard" features include smoking hot blonde with huge rack? Sign me up!

Is that Rodfather an original kit or a converted Tweedy Pie? All nice builds BTW.

Good stuff...

Only two can be forgiven when they come out like that Steve.

It is a bit creepy isn't it? I think this was a slump buster a couple of years ago that once out of the slump I threw into the box and got on with whatever it was i was focusing on. Either way it is a strange kit and I'm glad to have it on the shelf as it gets comments of all types.

Finished this up this morning. All that was left were the 400 antenna's and wheelie bars. For the life of me I forget why I stuck it back into the box so close to being done. Paint is NAPA Crossfire Lizard Skin metallic with various acrylic's for the rest. Calling this kit quirky might tend to understate just how weird it really is. But it was the 70's so.....

Really nice job on this one. I always had a soft spot for Trek models.

Quite the group. You've been busy.

Really nice brother.

Looks like I didn't mention what a great trader lordgodbob is. I'd trade with him every day of the week,
