That V-12 looks like a natural fit. David G.

Wow! That's an impressive array of enhancements! It's often the smallest details that have the greatest impact. David G.

Thank you Simon. Knowing the precise nature and quality of the work that you do, your compliment means a lot to me. Thank you. I did consider doing more lighting effects but as this was my first attempt at such a thing, I wanted to keep it simple and give myself a reasonable chance of completing the build in one lifetime. As it goes, this was a good experience for me so there will be more lighted models in the future. There' a Pegasus Nautilus kit in my stash and I've had an eye on VoodooFX's lighting kit for some time now. With my recent confidence-building success, I should just order one and get cracking. Thanks for the reminder. Thanks again Simon, it's great to know that you're still out there plugging away. David G.

Thank you David. It is pretty close in there, there are even indentations cast into the exhaust pipes to allow space for the shocks. Running the exhaust pipes under the axle probably would have worked but it likely would have taken more effort than the way I ended up doing it. Thank you Scott, I'm glad to know I made a good choice. Thanks Carl. I don't think I'm going to clear coat the body, just polish it up. The has some rough spots hood still needs some work, probably some color sanding and another coat. Thanks again, David G.

Hello Everybody! So many great contributions, it's impossible to comment on all of them. Here's my version of the Starsky & Hutch Torino. David G.

Looks cool! All in all, a nicely built truck. Any plans for the tank trailer? David G.

A rule of thumb is that the paint is fully cured when you can no longer smell it in a close sniff. Aside from that, it's usually a judgement call based on experience. David G.

Million Dollar Shine! I love it! Seriously though, it looks great. David G.

That's a good, clean, solid looking build! It just looks right. David G.

What a great idea! Excellent engineering and workmanship, it looks like it was meant to be that way. David G.

It looks like you captured it nicely. David G.

It came out rather good for a quick and dirty build. David G.

I think that color will look great on it. David G.

Hello Everybody! The chassis platform is mostly completed. I decided to paint the Bat-Spinners gold rather than have them get lost against the rest of the chrome wheels. Here's a shot of the underside, pretty clean and basic. Fitting in the rear axle and shocks is a bit tricky. Rather than a more traditional free-floating method, the axle mounts between these supports on the frame and the spring blocks. The supports seem to hold the axle too far from the chassis to allow good attachment of the leaf springs to the anchor points on the frame. I filed the mounting points on mine down a little and probably could have filed them a bit more. As always, thanks for looking and please feel free to post a comment. David G.

Thank you Carl. David G.

Beautiful paint and assembly! It looks perfect. David G.

Excellent scratch-building work! David G.

Wow! Thanks for posting this. David G.

Your woodwork looks great! David G.

Beautiful classic roadsters, worthy of a cover shot. Thanks for sharing them. David G.

Nice progress on this one. It looks like you got the orange plastic covered well enough. David G.

I always enjoy following your WIPs Bob. I can't wait to see where you go with this one. The 40 Ford has always been a favorite of mine, I'm surprised I haven't built one yet! David G.

Thanks David, I'm quite happy with the way that this one is going so far. David G.

It looks like the paint is shaping up nicely for you. I can't wait to see how the sign comes out. David G.

Lots of fun, imaginative wasteland mayhem going on here! It's also a way to use some of those old partial and cast-off kits and spare parts. I thionk I'm starting to get some ideas of my own. David G.
