  1. Love me a Plain Jane. Great tribute...
  2. CRICKEY that's pretty. More shots please.
  3. I was kinda thinking the same thing Snake. I collect Undergrounds and this was just his speed. Good eyes.
  4. Just a quick slump buster with all that's going on in my life. The Countach is still on hold but I'll get to it. This was easy and very stress free. And as cute as all get out.
  5. Gorgeous paint right there.
  6. I'm going to play Devils advocate a bit here. The decal is off the rear deck on the drivers side. Clear coat is a tad gloppy and uneven. And the chrome bits need to be trimmed of their flash before installation. Overall I see a pretty well built machine that is needing some care when parts are prepped. It could use a color sanding to tame the clear coat. I see the bright side to most things and your effort is a good one, not a great one. I too had efforts like this years ago. As a seasoned Veteran kit builder I offer these critiques as an honest assessment. Keep building. Bob
  7. 22 degrees here in Mass this AM. Got to work and the sun appeared. Starting to warm but it was brisk when I walked out the door.
  8. I always loved those guys. We called em bolt ons around here.
  9. I see I'm not alone here. I loved my 1980 C10 so much and when it was smashed into oblivion [I wasn't in it, it was parked] I went into a depression for a while. It was the best shop truck ever. The heat sucked and it needed tires but the 350/4spd was perfect for picking up parts and the paint was original and in good nick. The chassis had over 300K on it and it was solid as a rock. I look now and then for one and the prices are out of hand for a decent example. Being a Chevy guy has proven to be tricky over the years. I see Fords all over the place and they too are fetching good prices of similar vintage. But it has to be a Chevy for me. The 70's models are getting stupid as far as money goes if you want a solid base to build on.
  10. One of my faves.
  11. So well done, and at 1/43!!
  12. Very nice. The expression on the drivers face is priceless.
  13. That kit has never looked better Art. Well done...
  14. Wow, a snapper eh? You can't tell from where I'm sitting. Just beautiful any way you view it.
  15. Very nice results. You will be formidable in short order I think.
  16. SoryTurd really just doesn't capture how much of a turd it really is. That totally slayed me....
  17. The finest work I have ever seen. I too have been admiring this man since the early 90's. The guy can take a 30 part Jo-Han and turn it into a museum piece.
  18. I see a sealed USS Constitution for sale for 5.00. Seems legit.
  19. I know all the local comic shops well. I already have them on the lookout. It's a set of comics that I ordered. Just variant editions that cost 14.99. The KIT was the real loss here. You are right of course. Once they see it requires WORK and SKILL to build it will go in the scrap heap. More's the Pity. Time to check Craigslist I think. Of course I need to know what I'm looking for. Dan?
  20. It's not looking good at all. I had another item that day that got nabbed and I suspect that both packages were just laid on the porch. The people across the street said there was someone on my porch. Kinda wish they would have yelled but they are a bit timid.
  21. Feels like Christmas lately eh Bill? This then the microscope?
  22. What a good friend. Only use it for evil Bill..
  23. A Pinto wagon with the wheels up just floors me!!
