Thanks for posting. Great see a few of my friends won well deserving awards.

I bet some of the parts from the '62 Corvette Gasser kit could be used to make Tri-5 Gassers !!??

Thanks. More is always good.

As James reported - In regards to the Model As - Ed said that from what he's been told from the Home Office they're scheduled to have a production run in Early 2020. This certainly good news. I still have a couple of roadsters and coupes in my stash but probably could not build a complete model cause I have robbed so many of the great parts for other projects. Hopefully more hot rod kits will follow like the other Deuce varieties - Sedan, 3-window and roadster

The scooter, monkey and pickup are a great trio

Fantastic blast from the past.

Totally awesome. I was thinking about all your incredible 7's when I was working on my recently completed 1/24 The Prisoner Lotus 7 not expecting I would see another of one of your amazing 7 builds.

Thanks Kurt for giving me a chance to relive a fantastic few days in 2001. Your video brought back some great memories. I even saw myself for a few micro-seconds !! I will not be at GSL next weekend but really hope I can make to the finale in three years,

Thanks Tim. When I went to the MC forum I was hoping I would find some coverage of NNL East and you answered my wish.

Now that's a gorgeous Kustom Merc. Your treatment has definitely enhanced the original design.

Impressive. Well done.

Beautiful race cars. What scale are they? From a kit or scratch built?

A really great livery from a fantastic era of Indy car racing

Turned out very well. This is actually a pretty nice kit with lots of parts that can be used on other builds.

Excellent concept and execution. Have you seen the latest Ferrari limited-series Icona Monzas which combine past styling with modern engines and suspension?

Excellent post. Liked everything about it.

I really like the GT in this livery. Well done.

This chassis was built to go under a replica of Mike O'Neil's full-fendered black chopped '32 Ford 3-Window Coupe that appeared in issue #8 of The Rodder's Journal and was their first poster car.

Thanks Bill - At least you once had one. Thanks Lee Thanks Al - I have forgotten most of the details of the show but see there are episodes on YouTube which I am going to check out.

Thanks David - I am looking forward to her reaction. Joe is correct, the star was Patrick McGoohan. Thanks Peter Thanks Joe. Was not aware Patrick was US born. There are so many British born actors these days on US TV shows who have no accents - like Canadians !! Thanks Mark Thanks Ken - I have the Gunze Elan kit but did not want to rob that kit. Thanks Greg - Yes the interior is red. I have never had much success photographing red models.

Maga. Your builds always blow me away.

Nice. I really like the color scheme of your finished model.

Thanks Tom. Yes The Prisoner was a very far out show for its time as were many other British productions and they all had cool cars in them.

This was a project I could not resist. While hiking recently with a group we kept hearing what sounded like a bell dinging. It turned out it was one of the hiker’s cell-phones but I said it reminded me of the half-century-old TV series The Prisoner. One of the other hikers then told a story of how his wife had fallen in love with the Lotus 7 the main character in the show drove. My hiking friend told his wife way back then that he would buy her a Lotus 7 for her eightieth birthday; never thinking they would ever live that long as they were only thirty at the time. Well her eightieth birthday is the end of April and he had no Lotus 7 to give her or even one for her to have a ride. I just happened to have a 1/24 Tamiya Lotus 7 kit in my closet that I always planned to build a Prisoner version if I ever got around to it so this seemed like a perfect opportunity. This might also be the first model I have built directly out of the box for a very long time – just paint and glue. The model is not an exact replica in that the real car had wheels that were used on Elans and Europas. The only extra detail I added were the ignition wires, pinhead shifter and license plates. I was very impressed with this kit, which of course should be expected with a Tamiya kit. It was extremely well engineered in that the front suspension went together virtually without glue and it is poseable.

Extremely well built and displayed.
