I love the idea for the pin on the rear pop-out windows, very cool! David G.

Excellent work! I like the normal sized wheels and I think the red mufflers are cool! David G.

Everything about this one is just right- great work! David G.

Made just a little more progress on the Chevy Proton. I added more of the "chromie bits". I also got the foiling done. Thanks for looking, David G.

Very cool chop job, good color choice! David G.

Looks like the "Before and After" pics are reversed. Seriously, though- an excellent restoration. BTW: The real world supports Shabby and Shiny, Beauties and Beaters as well as Rusters and Racers; so do I! David G.

I missed this one the first time through. You, sir, are an artist with the air brush! Another very cool project. David G.

Beautiful work! David G

A new class... Rat-Gasser? Whatever it is, it's very cool! David G.

I've been following this build since the very start and I'm very impressed with what you've done so far, but I'd like to offer my opinion on the "hydro hopper" question. I wouldn't worry too much about hydraulic cylinders, pumps and actuators. With all the stone, bones and weapons on the truck, you've pretty much jumped into the realm of fiction with both feet. I'd say you could get away without giving a "realistic" justification for the stance of the vehicle. Besides, the Grim Reaper is a Dark Angel with vast and amazing powers and could do pretty much anything he wanted, right? Keep up the good work! David G.

In some cases, that could merely be accurate modeling. I've seen more than a few new cars with mis-matched panel paint density. David G.

No you're not crazy, I already do just that. My camera picks up details that my eye cannot. I frequently take pics of questionable bits or areas to see them in greater resolution and detail. If it looks good in the picture, it'll look good to the naked eye. David G.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments and compliments. I did, however just notice the new rule at the top of the Workbench page... For those viewing others who are presenting their works in progress in this section of the forum, please keep your criticisms, sarcasms, and other comments to yourself, unless the builder/poster has specifically asked for such replies. Please consider this my offical and specific request for criticisms and/or comments; including, but not to be limited to, comments of a constructive, critical, creative or observational nature. As long as such comments are true and factual as based on the opinion of a skilled builder of scale models of any type, said comments will be taken into consideration. Such consideration in no way implies any contract of any sort and therefore, no action or reaction of any kind on my part is to be expected or anticipated by the commentor. Comments of an insulting, derogatory, sarcastic, inflammatory, or just plain mean nature will be blithely ignored or derisively chuckled at. Seriously, I value all the comments I've received on the projects I've posted here over the past couple of years. I've learned a lot from the tips and pointers offered by the many highly skilled builders on this forum. I would greatly like to continue receiving those tips and pointers. Thank you all, your input has made me a much better builder. David G.

I guess I don't have enough run-ins with the cops to be up on all the slang names for them. Thanks, David G.

Excellent work. The weathering looks great, just the right ammount. David G.

What's a po-po?

The Matadors of this era have been one of my favorite body styles since I first saw one back in the early 70's. I really like what you've done with this one. David G.

That's a perfect mixture of 70's glitzy glam and excess; conspicous consumption at its peak! Excellent work. David G.

No More D.U.I. ! ! David G.

This is the project that got me back into building after being away from it for more than thirty years. It's been about a year and a half since I started it. I think I needed to develop some of my skills in order to progress further. It's not nearly done. but I've made some good progress in the past week. The reactor bay. Finally, there's wheels under those fenders! Of course, with the power plant in the rear, the trunk is in the front. Gizmo detail I hope it was worth the wait. Hopefully soon, foil glass and chrome! Thanks for looking. David G.

Awesome work, simply awesome! David G.

Your paint came out nicely- looks great! David G.

From Hubbard to Akron, then to Phoenix. Welcome a-board! David G.

Does this count? David G.

Now that I'm working pretty much full time again, I don't have as much time for building as I'd like. I try to spend at least 1/2 an hour per day working on one of my builds. Consequently, I have yet to finish a single one this year. David G.
