Hi John, Hope things good with you, looks like you are building away, another one of my favorites from back in the day, you did a great job, expect to see Bill walk around the corner and start it up.... Take care and thanks for posting. Mike

Hi Geezerman, This build tells its own story, you did a great job, makes me take a second look, just a great job. Thanks for posting, really enjoy your ideas and work! Mike

Hey Crazy, Building models and saving $$$$, well sign me up!!! Thanks for the info, didn't know Michaels had coupons. Mike

Hey Charlie, Thanks for the information, helped clear up a couple of things I did not quite understand. Like your analogy about mixing the laundry. Will try Michaels and see how it goes. You and Hawk gave me a lot of great insight, and I appreciate it. This is just the coolest forum in the world, and it has helped my enjoyment of our wonderful hobby, and I thank you once again. Now to the store... Mike

Hey Hawk, Thanks for your reply, still learning as I go. Want to try some other paints with my airbrush, rattle cans have been fun, but, you know..... Hawk, on your reply, I didn't quite understand part of it. Was your initial plastic color red and you were trying to seal that? I thought once well-sealed the sealer and/or primer would do their job and any color could be sprayed. Did the clear turn red from the plastic color or a reaction to the primer/sealer? I also now know Plasticote makes different color primers, wouldn't it be smart to match the primer close to color I am going to paint? Maybe that is not important, but I just don't know. Trying to make sure I understand, I know a good modeler is going to experiment, but if I can save a couple steps and a couple bucks along the way, I'll take it!! Thanks again for your help! Mike

Brian, Not fair, don't know where to look first!! Great job, trailer...car...cars....truck...figures....just wonderful, it takes a moment to take it all in, just a wonderful diorama, thank you for posting, keep 'em coming, just love this stuff with that era car!! PS It is supposed to be fun, and you look like you are having a blast!! Enjoy sir!! Mike

Hi, Really like your build, something different that you don't see all the time, but that's what makes it so cool!! Really looks good in the outdoors shots. Thanks for posting, and welcome back. Mike

Hi Drew, Had followed your build, glad I came across the finished product tonight, nice to see it in all it's glory, you did a fantastic job!! Thanks for posting, and thanks for doing your articles, I have learned a lot from watching. Take care. Mike

Sam, The 'vette looks just right, color is really cool, remember sharing stoplights with cars that looked just like this, very cool build. Thanks for posting! Mike

Man, this looks sharp, clean build, great stance, you did a great job. Sometimes newer wheels don't always work, but in this case they just make it look so custom and just plain BAD!! Nice, nice, nice.... thanks for posting! Mike

David, Wow, just beautiful, black is the hardest color, but when it is done the way you did it, the sharpest, deepest color, great job on a clean build!! A couple of questions if I may....on the small parts website, which size screen do you use, they have a bunch, and also, which lacquer thinner do you use with the MM? Appreciate your hard work, thanks for posting, now...... how can I let her know they have to hang upside down in the bathroom? Hmmm.... Mike

Todd, Looks great, always nice to see this classic dragster well represented, you did an excellent job, thanks for posting. Mike

Very nice build, love the old Mopar stuff, you did a great job!! Thanks for posting. Mike

Hi John, Man....too cool, glad to finally know you can do front bumpers and headlights too! HAHA Great job on the Mako, a model I build a long....long....long time ago that I wished I had saved, love looking at your builds, passion and committment show through every time. Thanks for posting. Mike

I had a friend who had a cousin who knew a guy that supposedly finished a model... Mike

Oh yeah, wish they would have looked like that in 1970, color just great!! Thanks for posting! Mike

John, Where in the world did you get that shag? Did you shave one of those troll dolls? (Boy, that's really giving away MY age!)......Build looks great!! Mike

Hi Bob, I, along with everyone else I guess, have this kit as well. I have seen several other versions but yours is just beautiful! I had also heard of construction issues, how did your build go, any comments or suggestions, who knows maybe one of us might finish one too. Just a great looking build, thanks for posting, and if there are body-off shots, would like to see them too. Mike

Hey Shucky, Clever way to send the measurements, I have no doubt what they are! Hey, when you send PM to Romell, send me one please, include prices for both sizes, since 1/12 scale, just gonna get both and see which one passes the eyeball test, best way I know. Hey, there's always a place for cool parts. Thanks. Mike

Great job, looks just like it should, good details. Do another one!! Thanks. Mike

Hey Johnny, Take care of yourself, you have a few days to dream about your next post and your next build!! Best wishes brother. Mike

John, Wow, I know this bike, I've been riding since I could drive, read all the cool chopper mags and catalogs back in the day...remember them well. You are off to a great start my friend, is this your first progress thread, never seen one before. I am almost ready to post my first bike, in about two weeks, keep up the good work John, love watching your progress. Thanks. Mike

Highway, Couple quick questions.... do you sand between coats, do you decant or spray from can? Gotta try some tomorrow, been wanting to try hotter paints. Thanks again. Mike
