2 weeks eh? An amazing result in such a short period of time. I'd call that focus. Beautiful...

Like the man said.. Understated.... My kind of build.

Beach Bunny needed some bling as her outfit was far too plain. I was going to do some flowers but that would have necessitated removing her and I am not taking her off. So what do you do? If polka dots were good enough for her purple bikini before then they are good enough now. It adds just a little more pizazz..

ThIs is a fantastic project. The details are so well done. Get R Done....

Such an amazing beginning. Why did you put it away if I may ask? We all have reasons why we do this. Sometimes when we revisit them we have forgotten why. I have done it, perhaps most of us have. I recently opened a 1/4 built project and thought "Why did I stop building this?". I am glad you are back to it as it is so ambitious and is something I am struggling with myself. I have a project that is ready to go with everything I need but the gumption to press forward. Perhaps this build will inspire me. Keep on, I will be watching and cheering you on.

Nice detailing and the color choices agree with the eye.

I'm having the most fun building these old Hawk kits. Yes, they're goofy to the 10th power, but much like a Tom Daniel or Ed Roth design there is something inherently right about them. And to think it has been said Americans lack culture. We Americans know how to have fun and that is a fact. I cannot wait to rip the cellophane on the next one. And THAT is what my early years of building were all about.

You made lemonade from a real lemon. The upgrades did the trick. I like it.

That is a beauty. I have one 90% there and for some reason it fought me all the way..

Can't get enough of those fins. Love me a 59.. Nice color choices and so clean.

Who dat says snaps are for kids? Well done Sir...

Two of Daisy's well known assets.... Both of those are excellent.

If I saw this coming at me on the road I would pull over. Never know what might fall off into the road or my car. So well done with a good backdrop could easily pass for 1:1.

That is looking smart. Shoehorn that motor and you really have something.

I have this kit and there is just something about that dash. It's a great design.

Good looking truck Kim. I also dig your Youtube channel. Ive commented many times.

My first real girlfriend Debbie had a Levis version. It was a total POS but I had a lot of firsts associated with that car. It's staring out awesome, Ill be watching.

So good it makes my eyes hurt. You spent your time wisely Sir.

Fantastic build. You really nailed it with the blue.

Same here when it comes to tastes. If it interests me Ill build it. Ill seebwhat pics I can dig up.

Very nice MaK brother. Not much appreciation for it around here. But I do. I have the Kuster kit and a few others. I built a snowman and a Luna Gans. If I find pics Ill put em here.

The pleasure is mine TB. I realized it was an old build once I went and looked at your initial post. I am still gobsmacked as to why it didnt win. I gotya see what was on that table, but I gotta believe nothing was close to this. I suppose over the years you get over it but still. Let me congratulate you yet again on a very fine achievement.

N extremely ambitious projecy that you are absolutley killing. The car woodwork is simply amazing and the boat is more of the same. Ill be watching with awe.

Now that is an awesome build right there. Put in the time and these Tamiya kits always deliver.

What an incredible achievement only to be snubbed. That far and away fails to describe your work here as the ambitious and extremely well executed trio of models you have here. This has vision, design, as well as forward thinking practicality. How this just didnt win outeight says a LOT about the cars that did win. BTW, who did win, and with what? I gotta know.
