Overall, the dash looks kind of "flat", for instance the rings around the instruments. Also, the interior surface finishes don't look as varied as one would expect on a real car. Still, a very nice model.

Harry,
I haven't been on this site for a while, so hadn't seen any of these posts before today.
Great idea, but I was really disappointed after the first one or two when you started posting the answer in the first post.
It would be a lot nicer for future viewers if you left the answer until after the initial voting. That way the new viewer could see the voters judgments.
Thanks for your consideration. Bill

Thanks, lots of interesting pictures. My favorite was the stretched VW racecar transporter.

It has been working ok today for me, but often lately (past week?), I felt like I was back on dial-up!

Modelhaus has the long ram manifold setup based on the Johan engines. Seems like it was about $7.

I can't see pictures in any postings with Postimage pictures.
Anyone else having this problem Wednesday night?

I would use one of the autobody products designed for this purpose. I have Dupont Prepsol I've used for 1:1 painting. I wipe it on with one shop paper towel and wipe it off with a second. If you are paranoid, you can do this a couple of times!
You can buy this at autobody supply stores, but I think you can also find something similiar at Home Depot or similiar stores.

Lots of interesting cars, however...
In a lot of your pictures, you have cut off the right front corner of the car which is very distracting to the viewer. Maybe if you took one step back, you could get the whole front end in. As it is, the viewer's eye is drawn to the missing area which takes away from the overall interest of the picture.
Otherwise, thanks for the nice pix of lots of interesting, buildable stuff.

At least for sale to the public......
Age doesn't matter. I am 62 and been modelling since age 14. I just returned from my local Michaels Grand Opening with a new kit. Never too old for more plastic. I plan to live a long time to justify to my wife the purchase of those 125 kits in my stash. Have fun!Bruce in Topeka
I like your attitude (and apparently share your birth year).
Finally!!!!!
