Dave Van

Gofer racing decals have a number of sets.

Pretty sure there were a few Holman GT's too........

Disclaimer: I'll admit I am bias. A lot of the story is kinda told through the eyes of Ken Miles son. I'm about the same age as he. Dad was not a racer but head of Valvoline racing 1960-70. And like Miles' son I tagged along to many a race. We lived in So Cal, I went to many of the places in the film.So take it for what it is........ The film is lots of fun start to finish. Most of us know the overall story but cool to see it played out on screen. For the vast majority they got it right. Yes....if a race car spins there will be fire. That's what Hollywood figures the audiences need. Not a deal breaker. They did NOT have to add any Hollywood drama to the racing, at night, in the rain at Le Mans.....these guys had guts! I'll not give any real spoilers......I will say the trailer is a little misleading which is good as there are a few surprises.Bale looks like Miles and becomes him. Damon is good, but not as good.....maybe because we know Shelby better and he was a tough one to play. Everyone else is good in the film.....I'd like to know if some of the corporate bad guys were really that 'bad' (can't use the words I'd like!!). I'll go again before buying it on BR to sit and freeze frame it. Little things I didn't like: Daytona was really Fontana with safer barriers, digital scoring pylon and corp suites above pit road. The big billboards around the outside.....lots of wrong details. 90% of folks will never know.......but why not go to Daytona??? Star Wars speeder sounds added to the GT40 sounds. Again....what Hollywood thinks we need. I've ridden in a big block mid engine car....it ain't a Speeder. Some cars were not correct......I'll not say more less I spoil......but they could just as easy made them correct....why not??? In the end A+ Thanks

Figured it was a Trabant kit.......but the dio is cool....

1/24 scale Berlin wall???? huge model!!!

Model Railroader magazine has done two large articles on Rod's layout.....it is fantastic!

Hope they leave the roll cage and include stock parts in it!!!!! A start on a Pro Stock build......

BINGO!!!! Well done!! ?

40 -50 mph wind and 25 degrees with 8 degrees tonight. Time to put my 3 away. I do try and take out the 46 on really nice days all Winter...

My wife saw a 8 point gray mule buck.......but not in time to miss it. $4500 and we will get it back fixed.....I hate deer.

NICE work so far!!!! Unfortunately there have been MANY posts on modifying the Salvinos MC body. You are the first I have seen that added to the bottom of the body........I too saw an issue in the area but never thought of your fix!!!Your chassis choice also got rid of that giant trans hump. Don't get me wrong....I am glad we are getting kits like these......but what could have been!!

Thanks Tim for keeping us up to date. Did Ed have a ETA for the Baja Bandito VW kit? thx

On my desk.... Testors tube glue Flex-I-file liquid solvent Gorilla glue (light blue cap) 5 minute epoxy Elmer's clear glue Future floor shine (Pledge floor shine now) I use most of these on each build...each where it works best.

Just noticed how much alike the Europa chassis is to the Esprit......in looks anyway ......do the cars share parts in 1/1/ world??

Never owned one.......was to be reissued but something derailed it.

I have every Duplicolor primer and sealer on hand at all times. Yes...

May go Sunday

I built their Daytona kit......not bad but you made it better around the doors for sure. IIRC it was a little bit of a bear in final assembly so good luck.

More great stuff!!!

This week???? Yes Magnification.........changes often....

When not using it is best in the fridge in a ziplock bag.

Very well done. I got two of the kits., FYI they sold out the first run and will make more....for a kit they had 2nd thoughts about.

Neat idea....never checked....but this boat is HUGE!

The van is for servicing the Coke machine not carrying it upright......that's my spin anyway! ?
