Bill Eh?

Given the age of the kit, you have more than done it justice. A beautiful example of this classic McLaren Indy car. Thanks for sharing.

a clean, well detailed build. Nicely done Douglas.

Creative thinking with a fun result.

Thanks for the link JC. Some interesting pairings to say the least. Sad to say that both the Ferrari 641 and Tyrrell P34 were lagging behind in their respective brackets, when I voted. LOL

Will be a well done and muscular-looking 240 ZG. I'm on board for this ride.

Nicely done. I will be watching for final pics in Under Glass.

Anti-SHINY! I like it.

Ebbro F-1 kits are 1/20, probably to correspond with Tamiya's line.

Thoroughly enjoyed this article. Thank you very much for posting it Art.

Iwata, double action, gravity feed. Neo, Revolution, Eclipse are in ascending price order. I don't believe in buying cheap when it comes to modelling tools. I prefer acrylic paints, and there are lots of brands out there including Tamiya. For spray, go with Tamiya. It is a modified lacquer and sprays on superbly right from the can. They have amazing primers.

My signature shows where I'm from, and I like and have used BNA as well.

Already have one of Revell's DTM BMWs. Given the graphics, I would definitely be up for one of these. Heck yeah!!!!

Bruce, are you going to buy the Scale Motorsport photo etch set that builds the entire tub with photo etch replacing the plastic tub piece?

It depends. Some I open right away, but I usually leave the inner bags intact. The only time I tear everything open is when I start a kit. But then I have many that have been opened, started, but are not finished yet ... some more than ten to fifteen years ago.

Looks great! Tamiya? Hasegawa? Outstanding work on what must have been a decal challenge.

I agree with you Ray. Sometimes there is barely enough room to allow you to crouch down to see what is under the vendors' tables as well as what is on them. I guess that shows are trying to maximize the number of vendor tables sold, as that is one of the ways that shows make money.

Are XMODS and XS wheels the same thing? I thought they were different. Just wondering...

Happy New Year Lawrence. I just went to Amazon.ca and used the search "airbrush gravity feed". Here is the link: http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=airbrush%20gravity%20feed&sprefix=airbrush+gravity%2Caps%2C465 Lots of results. You indicated you were on a budget. Temptation would be to go with the lowest price option. Although cheaper airbrushes might outwardly look the same, machining and tolerances are quite different, yielding drastically different performance, results and longevity. I would forgo the purchase of a few kits and invest in a good brush (Badger, Paasche, Iwata). Some may boast about what a cheap deal they scored, but ultimately you get what you pay for. Quality is not cheap, nor should it be. Surprisingly I did see a link on eBay that clearly shows that Tamiya has teamed up with Sparmax for a gravity feed gun. Tamiya is a name linked to quality. Also, Sparmax I believe is the company that private brands Iwata compressors. I know, more food for thought to add to your decision making, LOL. Good luck with your search. Personally I started way back with a Tamiya SprayWork System (trigger style). I now have Iwata, Paasche, and Sparmax airbrushes. P.S. I still have my good old Tamiya SprayWork System. Up until recently, I still used it in my classroom when I did my year-end model building sessions with my Grade 5 classes.

Wayne, I have used the stuff, but not for modelling. It doe create an extremely strong bond. One warning. It tends to react almost like an expanding foam. It does not necessarily stay only on the location where it was originally applied.

Loved the fact that Sebastian and Red Bull did not win another championship. As the season went on, it became obvious that MB powered cars were the ones to beat. I was really hoping for Nico to come through. Lewis really did deserve it though, and had a superb season. Shout out to Williams drivers Felipe and Valtteri, for an outstanding season as well.

Very imaginative and creative. You have a good eye for seeing the potential in "found" objects. Well done so far!

Superb large scale build. Love it, clean, excellent paint and detailing! Great era of F-1!

Sinisterly done ... Revell kit looks awesome! Flat black ... oh ya!

Cleanly built Mini. Fun backstory, even if only partially true. LOL

To me, the concept of a "Girl's Car" is something that applies to individuals who are concerned about what other people think - good or bad. LOL
