If future has possibility of cracking over a painted body, does it crack on a bare clear window?

Welcome to the forum. My German is of the same variety as Crazy Ed and my time over there was in Neckarsulm. There's plenty of stock car people here to make you feel at home.

Those are some great builds, Daxman!

That never happened in the brush painting days

My Ferrari 250 GTO is about 90% done .. just making a GPS and iPod to plug into dash ))

This is one of the most realistic trucks .. AND photography I've seen!

That looks really good!

That needs to be run on the street!

still watching .. I so love slicing and dicing bodies!

I think it looks good .. but need more photos!

I love the lines of this car!

How sad is that ... spectacular handling destroyed by a 9" ... and it already HAD a V8!

I'm today's safety officer ... NEVER spray inside any enclosure unless you have a fan venting all to the outside .. or unless you don't like your lungs. The respirator may protect you but anyone else that enters your house, or you when you remove your respirator after spraying is up for death. I'm being extreme but the things in paint are not meant for lung exposure .. and they are probably landing on your most precious objects in the house .. like your previous models.

I too like your two-tone paint scheme. But the frame-fender well separation line in your first photos really says a lot about the quality of this kit .. wow!

That had to be Autocad 1.0! And my ashtray on my desk was always spilling over and people could tell drawings checked by me cause of the little burn holes.

It sure looks well done .. when was the last time someone complained that scripts were too small??

Historical photos is interesting. Paper photos are prone to everything from just throwing in the trash to the photographer not making many prints. The digital age has given us mega amounts of already processed photos that rarely get printed but the digital copies get distributed in low resolution form all over the internet. The internet is a pretty safe place to store these archived photos. There is a site that archives almost every web page ... The Internet Archive This surprised me by having a long gone web site I had 10 years ago. Try looking up a model car web page you miss or an old photo site that has gone the way of the paper photo. Our hard disks with all our photos don't last forever!

Many fields have gone through the changes that Harry documents and all for the better, IMO. I do know how tedious film developing was and never had the desire to go through it. All this new way is due to the availability of powerful computers to us all. I'm a Structural Engineer and went through school with an agonizing slide rule. I used my first computer in 1964 and was SOLD! This was an IBM the size of a refrigerator with no screen and key punch card interface. But even almost 10 years later in my last year of college the school had only their main frame computer and wouldn't allow us to actually RUN our programs that solved simple rigid frames as they claimed it would take the computer 10 years to solve! One of the worst problems in my everyday work was solving a truss for stresses. This would typically take me a full week of simple calculations .. but MANY of them. At the end of my career I could input, solve and check the same truss in about 3 or 4 hours on a desktop computer. Believe it ... the computer you are reading this on is VERY powerful. The same power has made photography ... both cameras and post-processing a dream compared to those smelly old labs of the past. Photoshop strains my computers more than any structural problem.

As usual, well said, Bill.

This really presents my switch to digital, Charlie. It all has not much to do with the camera or media ... it's all about the person looking through the lens. I'm not a great photographer thou I've been trying for 50 years. I just don't have "the eye". I've had many cameras and none has made any difference, but digital has finally given me freedom to see what I have without waiting .. that means a lot to me. If the shot is bad, I can take another before the sun changes. I hated film back in the day .. wait days and then have to reshoot . or try another year for the right conditions. The quality is a silly argument, IMO. Digital resolution has passed film and you can make any digital photo mimic any film ever made. The difference .. ... it's all about the person looking through the lens.

Stupendous .. car and build!

Beautiful job on this!

Cool .. much appreciated buy those of us that have conflicts and can't attend ...

The Ferrari chassis and interior are done. Just another taillight to cast as there only 4 lights from this glue bomb that are passable. Have to come up with replacement front turn signal lenses too.
