Dragline

A modern AA/FC , Pro Stock or Top Fuel please.

The local HT here in Baltimore is much the same. RC as far as the eyes could see and the models are tucked in the back. Good news to me was the guy at the counter said they'd be having an Armor sale. I cannot imagine a sale since the Dragon and Tamiya kits were 100% over retail already. What's the sale going to do, bring them into line with "normal" cost? Some sale it'll be.

How about some pics?? Anyone?

Great start to finish on such an iconic car.

Holy Schnickeys!!! Great update and totally worth the effort. I truly am going to be sad the day this beast is complete. Thanks for the journey brother. Bob

That thing looks tougher than undercooked brisket.. Well done!!

Geez, nothing really blowing my skirt up here. Except maybe the SWC.

Wow! Beautiful. I may steal this color for mine.

Stunning from all angles. What a job.

That is very nice. Gotta get me one.

IMO HobbyTown is out of touch pricewise. My local one sells above MSRP. I don't buy kits there but I do purchase paint and supplies. The staff here is just OK with minimum fanfare and no really outgoing personalities. If the prices came into line I'd purchase kits there as well.

You're right JC. I'm gonna hook one of those up. Bob

I take my pics with a good grade digi camera and I have a tripod. But I always take my pics on my bench with so much stuff in the background taking away from the overall build. My fault? 100% kiddo.... Will it change? When I get space. No excuses for blurry pics. I'll retake em if I have to. The cell phone and digi both have previews to see if you got it right. Use it. Bob

Wow, taken to its logical extreme. Dandy little roadster. Bob

As mentioned several times before that color combo is outta sight. Well executed as well. Very clean. Bob

For my part, I tend to look at most things and comment when I am genuinely impressed. I see plenty of "getting started" or "This is all I'm putting into it" builds as well. I pass on commenting on them due to the feather ruffle effect it may cause. If I'm silent, I'm either not really into the subject, or it's finished look does not appeal to me. What does that mean? A hill of beans really. I'm a middle of the road builder. I'm no Clay Kemp, but I'm not a Johnny Q Glueslinger either. And I tend to hold builds till I feel they are worthy for the eyes of this forum. I have built things with the back of my mind wondering if it is in fact good enough to show here. And that's a Good Thing.. That means I'm upping my game every time I put paint to plastic. That means my peers [those who haunt this place] opinions mean quite a bit to me personally. I've shown builds here before that were super clean OOB and got 3 attaboys and little else [search Honda RA272]. That was a clean OOB build but the subject perhaps held little interest to those at the time. I saw another build of the same kit and it went on for 3 pages. Did that bother me? Perhaps on some level we all want some kind of appreciation, so yes, in some ways it did. Did it stop me from posting or building? yeah right..... I put the front emblem on the GoMad Nomad on upside down!!!!!! Yes, upside down. I got one comment telling me so and that was it. No ridicule, no butt hurt. I fixed it [but didn't post the fix] and went on about my day. Public is public. Warts and all you have to take what comes if you put it out there. Bob

Sorry dude, can't be more than 100% wrong. Can't give more than 100% effort either. That's straight up Coach jargon.

Beautiful work... I always loved this car. Bob

I too use 3M Perfect It but I follow it with Novus. Then Turtle Wax. Bob

Not crazy about other brand motors in cars like this but it is pretty cool. My fave year and type Stang too.

Geez...................

Did a quick Google and that guy above with the V8 is indeed the Michigan Mad Man. I wonder why my Mums called him Mad Man Michigan? I'll have to call her on that one and see. Bob

I remember this guy back in the early 70's called Mad Man Michigan. I got to see him run back then but remember precious little. Seems like these biker daredevils were all the rage for quite a while.

Of all the things that need to be reissued, these bikes are at the top of my list. Great build bro. Bob

In an word... Phenomonal!!!!!!!!!!!
