WHAT!!!!??? Talk bout ya short bus! Well done Dave.

Tamiya TS 23 is da bomb.

You always amaze and please.

If I were 12 that would be what i'd want on Christmas day.

A little gloopy on the clearcoat and the hood decal should have been painted instead. But, nice color choice and subject. Every build gets a little better..

Great use of these decals.

Since moving back to Mass all my models have been in storage since May. Now that's just 9 months and I already know what you mean.

Like many here it varies. I take breaks between detailed builds to knock out a Dave Deal or Tom Daniel build. Then go right back at a full detail build with all the bells and whistles. For me it's tough to do "Obsessive" detail builds for every kit that comes across the bench. It also depends on the vehicle. A Top Fuel digger or Funny car just begs for ignition, fuel and other goodies. But I don't think I've built anything in quite a while where I didn't scratch build a piece or two or at least add ignition wiring. But that's me...

OUTSTANDING!

What a Gass?? Should be called "What a Handful"... Very well done.

So well executed. The seamless nature of the mod is so impressive. Well done.

I've had these for some years.

Replica and Miniatures of maryland. That's where I got mine

Off Da Hook! Bag full O dead cats kinda crazy! you guys are too much!!

I'll have to check on that JC. As for that i am not certain as I never built the Stewart kit but it sure looks identical.. What I do know is this. What is here was very nice. The kit went together like a breeze. Now i'm a Vet so some folks may find this kit tough. But the decals went nice and accepted solvent for the door jambs easily. I'll post better pics eventually but this is a positively Wonderful kit. it doesn't fall together mind you. But it's one of the greats of our era. For a 2 week after work build it went together well and I have to tie up the exhaust [tough] and a few detail items box stockers won't encounter. But i'm pleased and ordered 2 more for the shelf. I may not get to them but I wanted a couple of extras in case decal options came about. A winner in my eyes............... Bob

Got this kit a couple of weeks ago HOT off the press. I had a week to spare so I plunged in. I want to thank R2 for continuing such a bang up job on these molds. This was such a joy to build and flash free. I never built this new so I was not certain what to expect but this is high water stuff here. I could go on but i digress. Duplicolor gloss white over their filler primer. I opened the trunk, wired the plugs, hooked up the battery and there is a photo etched seat belt in there. I made a safety net according to the manual but I used seat belt material and wooden ship rigging instead of a book of matches. I have some weathering to do but i used the R&MofM drag car tire painting set for the GoodYear logo's. I then sanded them down a tad. They look good and the weathering [Vallejo powders] should finish it off nicely. I stripped and re-shot the bumpers in Alclad. I made the hood hold down as per the reference photos but have to make the bungee cord. There's more but the pics speak. I shot this on my phone so go easy on me. Bob

Had to become a member to get on the list. Spotmodel is a great place if you want to spend money that's for certain.

Better than my first scale model by leaps and bounds. Welcome to scale modeling.

I've never seen accurate cogged belt material in 1/25 scale. The stuff that comes in pulley kits is out of scale. Make your own.

Makes me want to break mine out and get cracking on it. Very nicely executed.

Beautiful build. You can certainly see the Countach lineage in this car.

Super save...

Finish my LAST two commission builds, then start in on some stuff 1/2 finished and start a couple of new ones. Wish me luck.

This is a funny argument since there is no right or wrong. I'm down to three guitars at the moment and only one half stack and one practice amp. I have perhaps as many as 30 stompers. Just got the 5150 O/D and that thing is awesome. I also have a Klon Centaur from the 80's that I bought when new. Thinking of selling that since I no longer use it and they go for stupid money.

Too many guitars? Oh I think not young man... Too many stompboxes? An argument could be made............
