Some of us haven't received our copy yet ... but the first ones were raving about the bag where Russ said.

Mee TOO!

Looking good! and thanks for the O-Ring link ... I have a hundred uses for those.

A wonderful build ... beautiful work! Nice to see it still has it's 6. I really like the seats! Are the seat frames metal tube or rod?

Nice trucks ... some worked, some on display only.

I glue everything tight ... wheels don't turn, can't roll off shelf. If you mean the tread surface, I just smooth, or actually roughen, with a rough sanding stick.

Exquisite, as usual, Jurgen!

That's a nice job on the conversion ... a good looking cruiser there and a credible '92 Vic. I'm still working on the '92 Crown Vic my Dad had and was fun making this short lived version. Of course, I saw an All American Models resin '92 on ebay and almost bid ridiculous sums! That sure was a beautiful body Art did.

That's a wonderful weathering job!

You're doing some great detail painting here! looking good!

That is a beauty! It reminds me of a friend's that got one new.

.... enjoying your building!

It's good to see some of you are trying this product as I believe it to be a completely new tool for our building. The "4-second cure with no rush to cure it" makes this unlike every "glue" we have at our disposal. It doesn't replace any of the dozen or so glues I use ... it sets a new category of glue. I encourage anyone using this to post your experience and what you've used it for. For me, rather than a glue, I use it most as a quick casting material. One new thing I've tried was bonding two brass tubes together, They butted at 90 degrees and one was rounded for a tight fit. I smeared it around the joint so the light cure would strike it. The Bondic would not bond to the brass. I expected this as the brass is just too smooth, I believe. There is probably a better engineering explanation but I don't have an engineering testing lab here to test it. I ended up using JB Weld epoxy.

Usually only one at a time, but there's always a couple dozen looking for time. They switch off when one needs a pause for something new or just because my interest went back to one in the works.

These wheels are accurate for the '77 924 I had.

That is an exquisite model! The weathering is extremely realistic. You can tell that unit has been following that boom at least since it's birth.

I think the key answer is to just do what makes you feel good about the build ... this is supposed to be a hobby and fun. Many things control how far I go with detail and cost. The dominate factor for me is my tendency to over detail everything, so I always have to keep a check on that so it might eventually get done. Since my coming back to the hobby 20 years ago I've concentrated on building the cars I've owned. I was lucky that most all have kits that are close and I really enjoy getting the details of the 1:1 right. So I do tend to over-spend ... I'd guess the average $100 to build with the highest maybe something less than the $500 you say, thou that's for a large scale .. mine are all 1/25. The most expensive part is the body for some of the rarer cars in some form. I recently paid $175 for a '51 Plymouth promo, but this was my first car and the price of these gets way out of line because of the promo collector (not build) market. I get many resin parts on speculation for a build. Then there's DOA ... Detail Obsession Anomalous

I like this one too

I guess anybody can be a customizer, how sad for the name of Duesenburg

A wonderful build of, to me anyway, is a unique truck.

The season never ends here, but you'll never tell by my production in under glass. I'm down in the basement shop when I want to, out in the snow or sun when I want to, and everything else ... when I want to. Life is good in retirement. It's like being 16 again and in summer vacation year round!

Very nice build and the bike looks outstanding ... painting was worth the result! I like all the unusual touches on this, like the decaled wheel rings and seats, that lowrider wagon, colors and paint. I'm on my 2nd Legacy Wagon that my wife owned ... glad the thin roof and the hatch glass survived!

It's great to see another VW going on the table, and you may have the first build of this new VW kit going on here! Just take it as everyone has suggested. This is a wonderfully detailed starting kit.

looking good!

Trusty is the word ... wonderful build!
