I will miss working with you.

My only problem with that kit is the scale. It seems like it scales out to a 14' boat to me making the layout wrong. 18" to 24" would be more correct for a duel cockpit boat. I started one myself turning it into a proper 14' fiberglass boat with an outboard and four close seats circa late 50's. As a stand-alone project, the hull looks BEAUTIFUL! But the scale is closer to 1/28th if you go measure a real one.

Yes, Basswood and spruce.

Are you milking this thread Harry? (I received issue #201 on Saturday.)

"Staple"? Doesn't mean it's the correct one, only the easy one.

Personally, I like the old stuff best. More scale looking.

That's very nice! Might interest you to know that Revell was considering doing a kit of this car. The Baker Family and Revell couldn't agree on a deal so they canceled the release, but I did finish the artwork.

I LIKE what I see so far very much. Hoping you dealt with the too high nose stance. Because that beautiful machine needs a bit of a rake.

Small block Chev Tim. Or were you just being obtuse on purpose?

Nice wheels Dennis! I like the look of the rod. I'll probably build one of my illustrations just for fun. Yeah I know it's a '29 but the overall look is what I am trying to attain.

A picture is worth a thousand words. But some it seems are apparently too cheap.

Danno, I bought them as is. No box and I rarely see a box on these old kits. But the two scales are so close as to make the differences moot unless you are trying to match up a head on a block.

Here's a few Monogram 1930 Fords we can use for comparison once the new kit arrives. Think I might just mate that Phaeton with the new Revell release.

At the very minimum you need a driver.

I was thinking the same thing. The bus is beautiful... but appears abandon.

People only complain. They rarely compliment. And most of the members here don't even subscribe...

Boring. Finish your '29 Roadster. The clock is ticking......

Thank you for your report my friend.

Yup. I'm in the latter category. I look every day but rarely post. Most of the time... when I am building, it's for magazine articles. Posting projects like that is like tipping your hand at a poker game...

I have been there many times. Well worth the trip, but do it as cheaply as possible. Stay at Super 8 and cut meals down to two a day if possible. I have both driven and flown. Prefer driving, but if you can travel with someone you like, that makes the the trip easier. As has been mentioned, yeah, competition IS fierce. But what else do you expect from the Best of the Best? I hope to attend in May of 2017 as well. Hey, can I buy you a beer Bill?

Ah.. what lawn? Seriously tho, the build looks GREAT! Weather away or build a second. Otherwise it won't be correct, right?

Very nice paint and weathering. I suspect you hand made the boxes and other details?

Oh.... forgot about the Porsche 928! Still saving that one for someday.

Sweet!

I still have the BMW and Triumph. (Wonder where they are....?)
