  1. It's funny, because in a way, it's true! I grew up in NE Ohio in the '70s and I've been to many amusement parks throughout the Midwest. A sight like this was not an uncommon occurrence in most of them. Excellent work. I love the scraped elbow, that's a great detail. Thanks for the chuckle.
  2. Wicked looking!
  3. Awesome weathering job, excellent rust!
  4. Those are some really good builds, it's nice to see how your skills have progressed with each one.
  5. I can't believe it. All that work, and only one good comment. This is an excellent build with a lot of great detail work.
  6. What can I say that hasn't already been said? An inspired and creative custom masterfully done. This model looks like it's based on a real car.
  7. That's about as good as it gets- awesome work!
  8. You've got some excellent stuff going on here, can't wait to see more!
  9. Whoah! Talk about "Cab Foreward!" It looks like the illegitimate offspring of a Viper and a Neon.
  10. I had the 1984 Dodge version of this... this... thing. Worst. Car. Ever. ...at least mine was.

    I've got one of these in the "Ramcharger" livery, but one of the big decals is a bit messed up. I was wondering how one of these would look in "street clothes." Based on how nicely yours came out, I think I may do mine sans decals too! Old Mopars Harry, you just can't kill 'em!
  12. Is it a Pinto or a Bobcat? I thought it was a Bobcat. Not that there's much of a difference.
  13. Absolutely Superb!
  14. I've seen a few of these... very few. What you've got so far looks really good. This will be an interesting one to watch.
  15. Looking good, the difficult part is done, now on to the challenging parts. BTW where is Milford? I'm from the Youngstown area.
  16. I love those old Big Boys- looks like you did a great job on this one. Most people alive today have no idea how truly flippin massive these monsters were. The main driving wheels, of which there were sixteen per side, were 68" drivers- that's 5' 8" tall. There were a total of thirty-two of them on the locomotive. The locomotive itself was 85 feet long with a 72 foot wheelbase. Add the pilot gear and tender and the overall length is about 130 feet. At about 16 feet tall from the rail-head, it's longer and taller than most single story homes. Seeing one of these behemoths in person, resting cold and dormant, is an impressive sight to say the least. To see one of these titans alive, breathing fire and hot steam, would be truly awe-inspiring. edit: I was curious, so I crunched the numbers and found that a 1:25 scale Big Boy would be about 5' 2" long and around 7" tall!
  17. Very cool! Nice weathering- I love the screamin' skull.
  18. Well at least he managed to get it off the course without incident. Nice Mini-Dio- good detail and story.

    My builds

    You've got some very good work- nice detail. Is that Stuntman Mike's Nova?
  20. Clean and tight. Very classy!
  21. Most impressive! Excellent work.
  22. Looking good!
  23. A fine example of another wasted college education.
  24. Or a Pep Boys Special! Forget the tach, I have a hard time imagining one of those smoking my '71 Delta 88 even with a jet engine in it.
