John... You have done a Knock out job on this and it looks awesome. Man did this turn out killer and looks even better in the sunlight. The Paint and Alclad just pop on this one. I think its probably the best Alclad I have ever seen from anyone. I love every bit of this model Rick... I am not sure if you read Johns very first post on the build on the "On the Workbench" Section. But John tells everyone from the Get Go that it is not going to be an exact replica. He even tells that the Actual car was a 1925 T and says he is going to use a 1931 because he could not find a 1925 T kit in 1/16th scale. I have seen people say stuff to him like this in the past about things not being an exact replica and I don't understand why people want to give him Grief when he clearly states that Things won't be exact. He is one Helluva Model builder and proud to call him my friend.

Randy... that is one gorgeous car and with your skills you will knock it out of the park. You are off to a killer start on this. You must have a small English wheel. Those fenders are killer. Love the chassis work as well. Looking forward to updates on this bad boy.

John... any updates on this beauty for us? You have me at the edge of my seat waiting.

For Braided Line I would use nothing other than Pro Tech Braided line. Charlie has the best in the business hands down. And my Choice for A/N fitting and Rod ends are RB Motion stuff. You won't find any better than Roberts products. There are many other great aftermarket companies out there just depends what all you are looking for. Those are two of my go too's for those items.

Tim... I am in Awe my friend. That Tank is gorgeous. And to think you had formed the whole tank. That is some serious talent. It. Keep up the awesome work on this. I am more than blown away on this one

John... this thing looks steller. Wow does all the little details make it pop and of course I expected nothing less of a paint jog. I has that Teresi touch to it for sure. Nice job on everything

That was freaking awesome!!!. I can't believe how big that size wing is. Very cool video.

Brad... Have you added any more goodies to this yet?? LOL I always love seeing what else you have in store for this Diorama.

Randy.... I don't know where I have been living but apparently I have been under a rock...lol I haven't seen this thread until right now. Holy Smokes my Friend. This is flat out awesome and you have some serious Skills. Everything you have done is absolutely gorgeous. Seeing yours and Brads Diorama's makes me want to build some sort of shop myself. Your attention to detail is incredible. I absolutely love this build. Nice work Brother!!

Bill... Thank you for sharing that. WOW is that ever so Impressive. I totally enjoyed watching that video. What a creative way to do things. I can totally see using that method or a variation of it in our hobby.

Henry... Thanks. Michael... To answer your question. on the back of the Injector hat there is threaded hole and Also in the Fuel Distribution block there is counter bore hole for a Socket Head Cap Screw that mounts the distribution block to the injector hat. Here are a few pics of different style injector hats to show you. You should be able to see the mount holes on the first couple of pics. Things could easily be scaled to 1/25. Bob... you are welcome. It's something that the program does which is pretty cool.

Awesome work John!! This whole car is a work of Art and gorgeous.. I have said this before and will say it again. This has to be some.of thr BEST alclad I have seen you do... it's perfect. Nice Job man, I would be proud of it if I were you.

Nice Build Jonathan. that thing turned out great!

Oh Randy.. Come out come out where ever you are??? Miss your updates Buddy!!

Mark... That mirror is awesome... takes me back to the late 80's early 90's...lol

Bill... That turned out Gorgeous. Very Nice work on it. It looks great!!

Dave.... Thank you very much!! I just need to get myself to sit in front of my bench and I will get work done. Just the Desire hasn't been there lately to do anything. Tim... Thanks for the kind words. Let me know what you need and I will be more than happy to help ya. Bob... Thank you very much. So the CAD program I use and pretty much most CAD systems are parametric... which meaning what is modeled in 3D you can bring into a 2D drawing (Blueprint) and when you make an update to the model the respective changes show up on the Drawing. Here is a pic of a drawing of the Blower to show you different views. You will see the Isometric view which is the same as I showed above and then you will see the other labeled views and they were from inserting the views of the model into the drawing. Hopefully that makes sense. Here is a pic of the Drawing I saved out:

Tim.... You have me speechless my friend. You are one Talented builder that I admire for sure!! That Timing cover is Amazing. You Amaze me even more with every update. Can't wait to see whats next

Joe... Thanks man. That is cool you have a file with pics like that. I sorta have the same with reference pics...lol Dave... Thanks. Henry... Thank you but I have already got Robert over at RB Motion that made me a variation off his detail nuts because I needed them wider than what they were. My Personal preference is RB Motion fittings for my A/N Fittings source.

Hello Everyone.. I wanted to show what I have been working on the past 2 nights. I have wanted to start getting some of the plumbing done on the engine and well I figured I would utilize the 3D models to create my Injector lines. From the Models I will create a 2D drawing that I will be used as templates to bend the lines from. I Figured it would better to do it this way than to bend multiple pieces trying to get the spacing correct considering I will be using steel piano wire or possibly guitar string. I am debating which would be better, my only concern with the piano wire is that it has the possibly to corrode over time where as if I used a nickle coated guitar string It shouldn't. Anyway here are a few shots of the 3D model.....

Bob... Thanks... I am looking forward to both of those shows. I just hope I have new stuff done in time because if I don't I probably won't end up going. Thanks on the dragster. Tim... thank you so much my friend. That was just a practice chassis to figure out how I was going to model the chassis. Originally I was going to do a completed 3D sketch in my software but I ended up with 2D and 3D sketches along with adding multiple planes to achieve what I needed to. I created the 3D model from the welders feature. I will adventually have another thread for that dragster once I get the correct chassis designed up but probay won't be for a while. Jason... no I haven't made my parts available yet. I still have some bugs to work thru on them. Dave... thank you very much.

John... Do you have any more Awesome updates for us?? you know we are waiting...

John.... Its about time you get us an update and its a Daymn Killer one!! Wow that clear made that paint totally pop. As well as all of that Gorgeous Alclad. You never disappoint. Love all you have done to this so far. Nice work man!

Harry... First off I want to tell you how sorry I am to hear about this. Just like everyone has said here I don't know exactly how you are feeling but I know it has to be tuff. Second I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I will be praying that the Dr's have caught this early enough and that they will be able to remove all of the cancer. I know It won't be an easy road and I will be praying for a speedy recovery. Third... If I was in your shoes I know it would be hard to tell my family but regardless I would want them to know. because I know I would need that support from my loved ones. I know if one of my parents got cancer, I would want to know right away so I could be there for them. Hang in there Harry, I truly believe that things will be ok since they have caught this early on.

Tim... I am super stoked that you have decided to show case the motor in the Altered. It will showcase that engine beautifully. That body is gorgeous, did you already get primer on it and body worked it??
