  1. They look like you might still smell drying solvents that's how fresh those two look. Outstanding both! Bob
  2. 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
  3. That is a stellar build right there! That paint is very well done. Bob
  4. About 1976 I got a big scale Lola Ford. Not sure whatever happened to it. I know it was too much for me at the time. Bob
  5. I can picture Mrs Brady getting out of that and getting grocery bags from that back. Bob
  6. 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
  7. This one's in my build queue. Came out great. Bob
  8. Welcome and nice job Joe. This is one they need to reverse engy. It would sell well. Bob
  9. Can't wait to get my corrected body from Greg either. Hope mine comes out half as nice. Bob
  10. I'll be wanting this set up. Do let us know when it's finished. Bob
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Replacing the belts would be a weeks pay. Probably more. Bob
  14. Looks great Brett. IMHO, the best looking Funny ever.. Bob
  15. 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
  16. I am,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well stocked. Bob
  17. The stash groweth. Should we ALL live long enough to build them all. Bob
  18. Sounds like the man needs his car.
  19. 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! Bob
  20. Kit is now on the revell site as shipping this month. Bob
  21. 3 years away from my production date. But I love these old flyers as well. Bob LOL, didnt realize i'd already posted.
  22. Nothing fancy, usually dual master cylinder [Chevy JL8] and disks all around. Manual of course. Bob
  23. 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
  24. 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
