  1. 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.
  2. That looks great! Tough one as we all know. Pulled off with casual aplomb.
  3. Those are going to be great. Wait till Roger sees these.
  4. What!? That is B@d@55
  5. I did finish it. I have the pics somewhere. I'll post them when I come across them.
  6. A Japanese firm cannot make an American muscle car by sheer definition. I have no use for anything in the Asian car market so maybe I'm biased.
  7. Tamiya 959. Sold to a local classic car shop owner. Black Gold spray bomb with Duplicolor Arylic Enamel clear.
  8. Great pics Bill. That Orca replica is truly a work of art. I wish you had taken a pic of the card that was with it. I am interested in its details. And Juha's stuff is always a treat to see. The best replica stock modeler ever IMO.
  9. What kind of list is that? If you get a quarter you'll need a moving van. Funny...
  10. That is a great build. The color is striking. Whimsical is very appropriate to describe her. Well played Sir.
  11. I just went and checked his stuff. Very cool all of it. Thanks for the heads up Bill. What a shame, and only a year older than me.
  12. I missed this one. It's a wonder how Harry worked so fast yet got such perfect results. This is due to experience which can only be obtained by doing things many times till you perfect the techniques to pull it off. I miss the old blighter something fierce today.
  13. I didn't know who him. Did he use a pseudonym?
  14. Duty calls and I will not attend this year. I am saddened beyond all reckoning by this. No one will work for me and all i do is help everyone out. I am rethinking my niceness and the lack of reciprocation I receive for it. Have fun one and all.
  15. I bought a Scale Reproductions Eleanor kit last year. I must say it is the nicest thing I have ever seen. I paid quite a bit but the white metal and photo etch make it a sure winner to me. I know Glen Wann had also made an Eleanor body. I had already signed up at SR when he debuted his body. I got mine a couple of months after, since I was Gung Ho about the totality of their offering. I've gone over it often since it sits in line behind a great many projects and its quality is absolutely first rate IMO. I've also heard good things about Greg's offering. Are there differences I should be aware of? I really want it to stand out in the crowd.
  16. Going to the basement to grab one of dads old saws and giving it a go! Great idea.....
  17. I saw that PMS thing in the latest issue of Guitar Player. It looks like a winner. The pick up being mounted solidly seems like a tonal possibility. I know for certain that the blocks actually do something tonally, as I have tested them and it really makes a difference. The L block was/is something I am considering on my project Jackson for this summer. I have an original non fine tuner Floyd for it and the L block seems like a sure fire upgrade.
  18. Here is my go to amp. When you absolutely have to kill everyone in the room. Accept no substitutes.
  19. Not bad.....Not sure why I added a 3 to ST. You'll have quite a stable when these are done. Back in the late 80's my drummer bought a Bitch for his girlrfiend [Appropriate I assure you]. It was super nice. All gold hardware, neck thru, maple top with a Floyd and all the knobs. A real looker like she was. She dumped him but kept the axe. We saw it at the music store maybe a year or so later. I've never seen Mike so pissed. it really affected him. We rehearsed later that day and with the proggy stuff we were doing he was all over time wise which was not like him at all. A real Peart disciple. I'll bet that guitar is worth some money now. I think it's the only BC Rich I have ever played. I was a Jackson/Gibson player then, still am. Here is my Jackson Warrior. I put an FU block in it and it really helped. I swear by these things. My ESP has one in it now as well.
  20. Dragline [AKA: Bob Frias] will be there. I am the tall guy with the long hair. Don't hesitate to announce yourself. I am not shy at all.
  21. Get busy bro. Welcome.
  22. If you do a "Daniel" search on eBay in models [automotive] you'll come up with about 100 or so decals made for the beer truck and Ice T. Not certain if there is Coors in there but just about every other beverage is. The seller claims they are vibrant and all that. I cannot attest but it's a starting point. Hope it helps.
  23. I learned something today... [not being cocky] Thanks
