  1. Love this Riv.....

    STACKED 66

    Sinister.
  3. If it comes with the figure I'm in...
  4. Bill's right. I'll wager The Snake wouldn't be able to tell either.
  5. So worth the time to put together. These kits are just superb when a Talented builder like yourself sees it through. Outstanding color choice and execution.
  6. What an achievement Briz. Just stunning. Those cars are going to look Fantastico.
  7. If you have a NAPA anywhere near you that mixes paint they will hand you some. At least that's what I do at my store. If I'm asked I'll hand some over the counter for the price of a smile.
  8. Our pleasure distinctly Amy. Your Fathers need to make things right is one of his defining characteristics here. He was of the mindset of "Why settle for OK when Great is just around the bend". If you've looked at all here then you've seen this in action. Simple things like braking systems turn into major overhauls as he sought to right the wrongs in every kit he built. hard tops to soft tops he made them all seem so plausible. In the end Harry is/was a builders builder. Never totally satisfied, and always looking to get better with the next build, A man I always respected, and always looked to for guidance.
  9. I will speak plainly. While Harry collected a great deal of die cast. And he enjoyed them like a great many here do to this moment. I will say this. There is interest to be sure, but most of us are interested in what Harry crafted. Built by his own hands. Those are the things that he/we treasured most. I for one care only for what Harry touched and crafted with his own hands. If Harry made it, it is FAR more valuable to me and everyone here than something he bought to please himself and had no other way of acquiring. Harry crafted items of beauty. I craft items I hope will be considered beautiful within my time or beyond. It was your Fathers ability to make something from seemingly nothing that made him the great builder he was. He turned average kits into art on a regular basis. It became sort of "Routine" to see Harry do a WIP [Work In Progress] and turn out what anyone would call a lost cause into a sensation. He did this with casual aplomb I must add. Calling Harry a model builder is like calling the Sistene Chapel a building. It cannot amply describe what has taken place.
  10. You must have watched some SJW video.
  11. I remember those as being potent little rockets back in the day. Not a bad representation. On my next build I'd smooth out a few of the parting lines a bit more. It really helps the overall build.
  12. Rick, do I see your physical address in your location? You may want to rethink that buddy.
  13. I mentioned this a while back. I'd love to have a car or bike built by Harry. We spent a lot of time going back and forth about the subject that we all here love. If there is an opportunity to acquire one of Harry's builds then please count me in. We miss Harry here very much and hope you are getting on well after such a loss as your Father. Pleas accept my condolences yet again. Bob Frias
  14. From ANY angle, it's all there Chris. Cannot wait till you can take a bow.
  15. A Hero's work is never done.
  16. Congrats. Ending things on our own terms is certainly a dream for most of us. Having it become a reality is almost too much to ask for.
  17. Well done. I certainly would not know what to do with that kit.
  18. Not sure why you call this a pile. It's outrageous in color and well built. Hope mine comes out as nice when it crosses the bench.
  19. Dow7 eh? I learned something...
  20. NAILED.............. I feel like I'm in So-Cal just looking at it.
  21. That's a stunning rendition. Looks like you overcame what was in the box.
  22. Super nice! I like the wiper bosses sticking out. Very nice touch that.
  23. I'd add a little flat black to the gold to make it matt and darken it a bit. You can dullcoat over the decal but use Acrylic. Add a little flattening agent or use a semi gloss acryl clear. A little Future is also OK.
  24. That looks great! Tough one as we all know. Pulled off with casual aplomb.
