Another excellent issue. I especially enjoy the Scratchbuilding School section. Thanks, David G.

A fine example of classic J-Tin! Well Done! David G.

Yesterday, the Missus bought this for me at the local grocery store- it's my new Purple Pond! She thought it would be perfect for de-painting model car bodies and their accompanying small parts. Yup, she'a a smart woman! David G.

Another update on the RoboCop Car. I have to fix the taillights. The kit has them as solid red. In reality, there white inserts on the inner portions of the lens to allow the white backing light to shine white instead of red. I cut off the red inner portion of the lens and replaced it with a piece of clear styrene, filed and shaped it to match the red portion. I then used some masking tape cut into tiny strips to mask the four white portions of the lens and colored the rest with a red Sharpie. Thanks for looking, David G

Are you planning on starting one? I might be able to help. David G.

Nice clean classic Chevy! David G.

Here's mine!

Very cool. It'll be interesting to watch the progress on this one. David G.

Now, there's a "low rider" I can approve of! Very cool, nice and gritty. David G.

There's some good stuff going on here, I like the idea of the Rat Rod Ambo and the Dodge is coming along nicely. David G.

Unfortunately, the bottom's always on the ground. If he can find a way to drive on the top, he'll be fine!

That's Cool!!! David G.

Cool stuff, thanks for the link. David G.

I don't even know where to begin. Your work is just flat out amazing. Aside from the level of detail and weathering, all of your builds seem to have mass and wieght. Something that's not easy to accomplish. In other words, WOW! David G.

Very nice work on this one. I like the weathering and the added accessories, they really make it all work. Also, did the boom arm come with that kit or from another< David G.

Coming along nicely, excellent detail work on the interior. David G.

I'm confused. Is there more than one thread for this build or did something happen to it? David G.

Absoutely Beautiful! David G.

Did you scratchbuild that sign? If so, it's awesome work! Also if you did built it, why didn't you paint it before assembly and save all the masking work? Either way, this looks to be one cool project. David G.

Very cool! David G.

Too funny! Excellent work and imagination on this one! David G.

We used to use those emoticons, but, you know...

Many of us used to offer suggestions and tips to those who posted the pics, on how to improve their skills. Tips like cleaning up mold lines and ejector pin marks, making sure all four wheels touched the ground, etc. But too many folks took these comments as personal attack, so many of us are now reticent to offer any comments at all. The other part of it, for me at least, has to do with the subject matter. I look for things I haven't seen before. When I see something that I consider creative and unique, something that catches my eye, then I'll comment on it. I have to admit that lowered suspensions bore me to death. Instead of taking a '63 Chevy and "slammin it inta tha weedz" why not build it as a '70s dirt track racer or show car? Maybe build one based on how you think a 2009 Chevy will look when somebody does a customization on it in 2042? It's just not easy for me to say "Ooooh lookie, another low rider!" and truly be excited about it. David G.

Thanks G and Danno. Maybe I'll get this one done. If I do, it'll be the first for 2011! David G.

It's time for a minor update on my RoboCop Police car. I finally got the interior done. I made a third brakelight from an old taillight lens with a bit of foil glued to the back. I replaced the security cage window with a wire mesh more like the one in the movie car. I also fashoned a mic from a bit of styrene, added a cord and attached them to the dash. I know it's not much, but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for taking the time to look. David G.
