Firefly is where I know him. RIP

Normal 'Anti-whatever I don't like' rumor mill.........

Fantastic work!!!! I build some On30 in hopes of a layout someday......

Freelance with influence of the D&RGW. thx

Prayers to you and your family. I can't say I have been there......but I had a major issue a few years ago and went from active independent guy to wheelchair bond Dependent person overnight. So hang tough, don't feel bad when you ask for or need help......I am sure you lent a hand when you were able. A guys ego takes a beating sometimes when we have major changes like this. I hope for you the best.

Cool stuff!!! I was in N scale in my younger days.......Started with a Revell N scale set!!! I have moved to O scale 1/48 so I can still see my work!! These are On30....

I had to give up N.......in O now!! Nn3 are you using Z scale mechanicals?? I do some On30....love to see your work.

Thanks Mike!!! R2.....find the coupe tooling.....Plez!

Great work.

I supplies my mint Dragon Wagon to Bill Lastivich so the kit could be retooled in China. After that project I was asked if I had a number of other Tom Daniel kits I would be willing to send to them. I agreed but I never heard from them again. Not real long after that Bill passed away. I don't think there has been a TD kit retooled since then. Dog Catcher was one project that was started but never came to market. It makes me think Revell was not happy with the ROI these kits provided. I'd buy a Rattler, Sand Shark or any of the TD modified kits. We didn't need another Cop Out but it must sell or we'd not get it ever 3 years!! Revell....please take a chance with Rattler.......Trick T or other TD kit not seen in 20 plus years.

As well done as I have ever seen!!

IMHO Dale Jr is done. Not that he's washed up or anything.......if he returned and dies in a on track incident I KNOW NASCAR feels it would be their death blow. So keep him in and around the sport but out of a car.

Good to see you.......I have a number of yuor kits.....nice stuff. I tried the resin kit biz for a total of about 5 different kits....a tough biz to keep going for as long as you have.

WOW....very cool.....nice to see some rail subjects.....I was a model railroader before model car guy.

NICE WORK!!!! I love movie cars and plain janes.

If I get time I'll see if this 'law' is still in place. But the muscle flexing going on right now......I'd not spend a lot for tooling in China. But look how much they copy and don't even think about it......Do you think if you have 200 tons of tooling sitting in a quasi state owned shop in China you can just walk in and take it??? Glad I ain't in charge.

Hope this is not rude........this was my two day build to just finish something. Inspired by last American Hero...... box stock dirtied up...thx....I'll watch your more advanced build.

Way too cool!

I bought 900 Monogram 1983 Bill Elliott NASCAR Thunderbird kits. It was back in 1988 when a drug store Wholesaler in Harrisburg NC went out of business. I went to the close out sale and saw the kits offered for $3 each....still a good deal. I asked for a discount if I bought the whole case of 12 they had open and was offered all they had at $1 each.......if I bought all 900. I bought them all. I needed help just moving them so I called my buddy that owned a hobby shop and had a truck. We ended up spiting the 900 into 3 loads of 300 each. I got 300, he bought 300 and the hobby shop got 300. So I ended up with 300 but I did buy 900. If you every bought one of these kit at Toledo model shows.....might be one of these!!!

COOL STUFF!!!

Wonder if they will do the Ambulance in 1/24 that they do in 1/35??

Pretty sure it is a Pegasus kit........NOT a Moebius kit......but nice work.

I built a mask for Halloween........gave out candy....had fun....

Very nice clean build..........

During my Analyst days I had to become informed about manufacturing in China. At that time tooling created in China was owned by the state if push came to shove. While all parties are happy no issues. But it could get ugly fast.
