A bit of Nostalgia!.....30 year old Nash Metropolitan builds
Dragline replied to traditional's topic in Model Cars
They look like you might still smell drying solvents that's how fresh those two look. Outstanding both! Bob -
A true Craftsman
Dragline replied to Dan Helferich's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I love the work, but one thing bothered me a bit. This statement: "I’m not saying he was crazy, but it just seems that way." WTH does that mean? Why would someone who makes things in miniature conjure such a thought or mental condition? Such an ideal reflects on us all here who craft things on a scale smaller than 1:1. Just a thought. Bob -
That is a stellar build right there! That paint is very well done. Bob

I can picture Mrs Brady getting out of that and getting grocery bags from that back. Bob -
113 ideas for your R/M E-bodies
Dragline replied to Lunajammer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
2 things strike me immediately. The Cuda looks good in every color of the rainbow. And that green wagon floored me. The nicest design ever to come out of Chrysler in their entire history IMHO. Bob -
This one's in my build queue. Came out great. Bob
-
Welcome and nice job Joe. This is one they need to reverse engy. It would sell well. Bob
-
Can't wait to get my corrected body from Greg either. Hope mine comes out half as nice. Bob

I'll be wanting this set up. Do let us know when it's finished. Bob

Porsche Carrera GT:Paul Walker Tribute build
Dragline replied to Tompidom's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Very nice tribute. While not a fan of the F&F movies I did enjoy his appearances on Shark Men. 40 is is far too young to leave this plain and the irony of the circumstance is beyond weird. Do a great job. Bob -
Modeler Hall of Fame?
Dragline replied to Tankerdog's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Model Car Museum is NOT a Hall Of Fame. It's primary goal [from what i can glean] is to show the Industry as a whole and its progress through the years. As such, there should not be any limits [and none I could see] as to who is represented there. We lost Augie too early so his being there is really a no brainer considering his many accomplishments..But Juha Airio is probably the most competent builder on the planet. His inclusion is also a welcomed idea, and he seems FAR from retired. Were I inclined to tell TMCM how to go about their business [i am not] I would suggest a "Leading Lights" type feature showing the movers and shakers of the current time. Builders and writers alike. But it is a MUSEUM and as such, is constrained only by how it's board chooses to move. Museums can and often show current exhibits of modern works as a way to keep current and showcase things that will IN TIME, be permanent fixture worthy. What the OP seemed to suggest was an outright HOF. A completely different set of criteria and ultimately worthy of discussion. Bob -

Your favourite Box art
Dragline replied to HotRodaSaurus's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes! Alex Ross is also a favorite of mine. If you like this you'll love his fully painted comic books. Look him up. Bob -

Scratch Building an Aussie Ford Falcon **New update,15/1/18**
Dragline replied to ShawnS's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Sunday morning, coffee and a bagel. I see this thread. Read ALL of the pages. Going back to collecting comics. The underhood panels with their complex shapes kept me coming back to them over and over yet again. For the life of me i don't have the patience for that nor the skillset. I was complaining about parts on my Enthusiast Dino build and after seeing this I'm simply going to build it as best i can and pack it away for none to see. WOW, and Awesome are words that simply DO NOT describe what has been accomplished on these pages. They fall utterly short. I'm not certain what words do apply but I'm not going to try. BRAVO MATE!

Brake System on a 78 to 82 Pro Stock car?
Dragline replied to John Pol's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Nothing fancy, usually dual master cylinder [Chevy JL8] and disks all around. Manual of course. Bob -
Looks like Tom Daniel didn't get the memo....
Dragline replied to RatRod's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
While it's cool to see TD kits reissued there are a few that have not been for many years. How bout Horn Toad, Unreal Roller, The Snap Tite Construction series. Let's face it, Cop Out and the others are still available on eBay for short money. Bob -
Worked as a Euro specialist [MB, Volvo, VW, BMW et al:] for 17 years. Did some job jumping till I landed in parts. My job also requires "Know How". Store 3237 Baltimore. Bob
