These are great looking kits and I've always thought about getting one. Now I really want one. Looking good so far. Later-

Great looking Duster. I love the color. Too bad you had to sell it. I've always had a soft spot for them. We had a 73 Gold Duster when I was younger. Nothing special, but had a lot of fun in that car. Terry, thanks for the info on applying the decals. That's why I love this site. Ones always willing to help. Later-

For as much as that kit is a turd, you made it look good. Nice job on the weathering. Later-

Go Skeeter, Go! You're just about finished. George, it looks great. Nice and simple idea. You should be happy to show that at NNL. Later-

Very Nice Jim. Beautiful color and custom touches throughout. Did you flip the grille or what? I can tell it's different but not sure how. The plate says CRAZY, not CRANKY. Later-

Welcome John! Jump on in and enjoy the ride! Be sure and share with us what you're building. Here's some of mine. 67 GTX Street Freak 50 Ford Sedan 53 Ford Vicky Later-

Bernard- You made the right decision to move the rear axle forward. It makes the build look much better. The balance looks more correct now. Keep it up. I like the work on the frame. Later-

Wow Mike. Gonna have to get some of that Citrus Yellow. I never would have guessed from the stripe on the can that it would be that shade of green. Just what I'm looking for. Your build is looking good too. Later-

Too Cool. Nice mix of custom parts and that interior is killer. Gotta print me off some interior patterns soon. Later-

Nick (Winter) sent me one that he said I'd enjoy. It had a bikini clad girl in it (the paper, not the box). Got a chuckle out of it. Oddly enough-trades with Nick are going to go up now. LOL! Later-

Erik- That build is sweet. Great color. I love the engine details. Where did you get such tiny hoses and how did you make the 90 degree bends in them where they enter the valve cover? Later-

With all of the warnings and public service announcements out there it's sad to see that some are still smoking crack. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LINDBERG-1966-CHEVELLE-SUPER-SPORT-1-25-MODEL-KIT-MINT-FACTORY-SEALED-M3302-/200738577113?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ebcf39ad9 All I can say is....I hope he gets what he's asking. Later-

Here's a couple of what it looks like over gloss black. Great stuff. I always wondered what it looked like over other colors. Gonna do it over some gloss white soon. Yours looks great too. Later-

I have to say that I generally don't involve my comments on topic such as these. For one, I don't need the drama in my life. For two, as it has already been stated, no two people are going to look at a well built model or a piece of hammered poo and judge it the same. I only offer one bit of advice. Something I learned years ago is to "Praise in Public and Criticize in private". If you can think of something positive to praise the builder on, and want to take the time, do it on their post. If you feel you need to encourage further progress in a particular area, send them a POLITE PM. An example would be: "I'm not sure how much experience you have at polishing out a paint job but what I have found that helped me was to use sanding pads and wet sand the body, working up from 4800 to 12000 grit, being careful not to burn through to the primer and stay away from the sharp edges. If you have any questions I'd be glad to share some pointers with you. Nice job on the detailing of the interior." This way if the person gets offended then it is only between you two. If they appreciate the help then you have advanced the hobby and possibly made a friend. Who knows, in the future they may credit you as their inspiration and mentor. Now, I know that there are those ones out there (like me) who always ask for comments and criticisms on their posts. If that's the case then they (me included) have to be ready for it. But if they don't specifically ask for it, or if you think it may offend......take it to PM. Later-

Very cool build. I like the info on the exhaust weathering. I'll have to try that. Thanks. Later-

I hate when you duck under something once and on your next trip back through (usually within 10 seconds) you forget to duck! Later-

13 years!! Is that all? I've got ones I started before I got married. It'll be 23 years this May. Build what moves you. And WELCOME to the board. Later-

Nice work so far. I would say to put the vents in either just in front of the rear wheels, behind the front wheels or on the hood. Later-

So the stock (non racing version) is out?? Later-

Looking good. It looks great as a convertible. Jeurgens(sp?) did one a while back in almost the same color. Later-

Very convincing work on the model. It turned out fantastic. It was difficult to understand the translator regarding the broken window glass. Maybe you could do a tutorial with photos of the step by step process so that we can see each step. Later-

Panel Job, Panel Job! This is looking great so far. I like the idea. Later-

The seal of approval. It was your post that got me to look at it and ponder chopping it. So.....It's your fault! Later-

Rob- Thanks for the tip. I thought about doing that with some piano wire have. I may end up doing that if it breaks on me in the future.....which I'm sure it will. Tonight I'm going to spend some time working on a couple other projects and let this one sit till my next session. Later-

Beautiful work so far. I'll be watching. Later-
