Excellent stuff- priceless gifts! David G.

Great looking interior! David G.

Nice clean build! Thanks for the additional pics. David G.

I've been going there for at least 15 years- long enough that if Nancy's working at the register, she greets me by name when I come through the door. I'll shop on line to get the kit numbers, then I have Hobby Bench order them for me. David G.

Beautiful detailing, I would love some tighter close-ups. David G.

Beautiful build! The display case adds to its elegance. David G.

Huge improvement! That kit has always seemed oddly proportioned, your mods really balance the whole thing out. David G.

Get both, put black on the front and chrome on the back... unless it's front wheel drive, then put the chrome on the front. You should do what seems right to you. David G.

Among the crowd I ran with back in the 70's and 80's, seeing tires like that on some guy's car meant that he found a set of fancy wheels, but couldn't afford the proper sized tires for them. Most of wouldn't dream of putting wheels on a car unless we could get some matching tires- there would be more than a few derisive stares from the others. But I'm old and times change. David G.

Very nice Batmobile! I agree with you on the intakes, they're too light. When I built mine I mixed four different shades of black, one matte and three semi-gloss. Nice work on the lighting too. David G.

Beyond cool! Looks great from every angle. David G.

How about newspapers not only from a different location, but also from a different time. I recently unpacked some items that I had packed away when I moved from Akron to Phoenix... in 1989! Talk about a strange sweep of nostalgia. David G.

Wow! That's one killer custom, great color choice- excellent work! David G.

Now there's something you don't see every day. Well done Chuck! David G.

Bob- thanks for the kind comments and the advise on the Future; I do have some, I just wasn't sure of the best application method. Jim- Thanks! It's SHINY too... and it'll be even more so once I put the future to it! It may take me a while, but there'll be more- and hopefully better pics in the Future. David G.

There are a whole lot excellent builds here. I'm impressed by the variety of interpretations arising from such a simple kit. Now it's time to add mine to the mix. Minor detail added... I replaced the plastic nerf bars with chrome paperclip wire and reworked the muffler. The decals are from the Revell VW Bus kit. I replaced that horrible rear seat with some "plywood". I've actually seen this done in a couple of 1:1's. Dash detail with one of those wooden steering wheels so popular in the 60's &70's. I still need to add the license plate and figure out some way to clear coat the decals (advise?), but essentially, it's done. Thanks for looking, David G.

I love this hobby, so don't get me wrong. But why should I care if this hobby fades and dies after I'm gone? I won't be here to enjoy it, and if those who are here don't enjoy it, what's the point? There are probably dozens of hobbies that have faded away since the start of the 20th century, and most people don't even know that they're gone. I just want to enjoy building models cars and anything else that catches my fancy while I'm still here and can still enjoy it. David G.

First rate all the way around! David G.

I love it! "Bobby's neutral drop!" David G.

Smoooth and deadly! David G.

Absolutlely Amazing! Such a wonderfully unique subject and very well done. David G.

One of my favorite movie cars. Well Done! David G.

Excellent detail! David G.

Wicked! David G.

My grandfather was a pro-genator No offense meant Erik, I just couldn't pass that one up. By the way, Congratulations on the article in MCM! You have some great builds there. David G.
