  1. Well, he is a talented SOB and a chip off the ole block.
  2. This is interesting also.. Box reads 20 pieces? There should be 20 pieces for the wheels alone. I have to see the contents of this one.
  3. And this is now MPC? No worries just weird.
  4. There is art for this, so it's weird they don't show it on the release pamphlet.
  5. I'm pretty sure it's a Shovel... Those square tubes are goin bye bye.... More importantly. Who is K Daniel???? Look at the sig for the new art.
  6. That puller is going to sell out very fast.
  7. So No one's excited about the Grim Reaper bike? 1/8 Revell bikes are INSANE! Talk about FeeBay prices!! STOKED!
  8. Very nice builds. They certainly didn't mind borrowing from McLaren did they?
  9. Harry can't complain? You talkin bout OUR Harry? Harry doesn't complain. He observes and reports.
  10. I owned a similar car in the 80's [minus the supercharger] and it was quite the handful. Your build is very cool.
  11. I'm sure I have no idea what anyone's complaint could possibly be.
  12. I am the type that says nothing if I find a model to be of poor craftsmanship. If I see great effort to clean things and bring them to a certain standard but the execution is a little off I will add an ATTABOY with qualification. I do not praise poorly done work, or work I see as rushed. This hobby requires patience to achieve a desired result. If that result is not achieved and I see shortcuts I will again refrain from commenting. This may seem self serving but hear me out. I have posted what I consider excellent work that was met with some praise but was limited to maybe 7-10 comments before it scrolled away into oblivion. I have witnessed the same kit, built in a slipshod manner receive 2-3 pages of limited acclaim. What does this mean? There are a great many well wishers who feel that a positive comment is worth it and can urge the builder on to greater heights. There is a margin of truth to this indeed. But ultimately I feel it instills false confidence in the builder. We have had a few here who were urged on until it ended up exploding into butt hurt. The only takeaway was that one of the builders had thick enough skin to weather such a storm and became MUCH better. But such examples are few and far between. Explain the faults in such a way that it doesn't sound like it's coming down from the mountain. Be critical and specific AND kind. And be READY to show what you can do in order to establish you are a voice that contains wisdom and experience. Bob
  13. Cool OOB build. I have one I have to tackle.
  14. WOW!!! That is truly gorgeous.
  15. Dragline

    eldorado.

    Absolutely stunning in every respect. Just beautiful.
  16. It all looks pretty good. I'm all vintaged out and really want modern fuel cars and pro stock. If someone tools up for that watch the money roll in.
  17. Talk about pucker factor when that thing detonated. Geez......
  18. His name is actually a sentence......
  19. This is still the sexiest drag car ever come down the pike bar NONE.
  20. I have a built one here also and it is such a great kit I'm surprised we have not seen more built up. Great looking build there El Curto..
  21. Traded a few items with Droogie. All went very well and I am pleased.
  22. They are available. Get ready to fork it over though.
  23. You definitely need to bring your A game when tackling EM kits but they are so worth it. I must have 4/5 built and about 4/5 waiting. Every one of them has been a test but I have passed them all. I have to finish my white on white Countach this year. Perhaps I'll drag it out this weekend and see where I left off.....................
