  1. This is what Baby Girl got me for Christmas with her own money ~with~ a Hobby Lobby discount coupon that she printed off on her own!!!!!!!!....smart kid!!!!!....Thank You Sweet Pea!!!! And this is what she will be starting on now that her bowling league is over til next month,I picked this up for her a few months back.......am I lucky or what with a daughter like this
  2. I gotta watch this!!!!,I so wanna build "Rockford Files" Bird myself......sweet job on the rear deck and quarters...
  3. SWEET!!!!,Jim thanks so much for the link!!!,cuz I couldn't find good shots for some of the other plumbing,this will get me rollin' so I can finish up the engine!!!!...Thanks again!
  4. The following pics are of the engine,trying plumbing and wiring for the first time,this is where I am not sure about location and such so any advice or comments here would be very helpful.... More later,this will be a sloooooow project due to work,being a single dad and Baby Girl's bowling,yes it looks like I may have a Lil' future PBA champ!!
  5. .....A lil' more........ Didn't care for the one piece fan/shroud assy.... Making the seams disappear.... Not crazy about the wheels,the dish looks a little shallow....but hey...
  6. Finally getting started again after a looooong break away from building,starting out with something a lil' simple and also trying some new things that I have learned with all the awesome builds and tips from all the members here..Thanks everyone.....please by all means comment,good,bad,ugly,or indifferent,because I am open to all advise and or ideas...thanks for looking.. Things sure have changed since last build....mainly the eyes!!! The kit....Actually a nice kit for the $$$ and being a "snapper" Color choice.....have this weird love for purple and orange together
  7. .....As the title reads,first w.i.p. in a billion years......okay maybe closer to 15yrs..an old "Early Iron" series I found in my old stash of kits I had stored away....this is just a working tool to get back into the swing of things,trying flocking and minor wiring/plumbing for the first time.........comments good,bad,ugly or indifferent welcome,thanks for lookin'
  8. Hey, hey, we're the Monkees,And people say we monkey around,But we're too busy singing To put anybody down....excellent example!!!!!!
  9. WOW!!!!! If I didn't know better,I could swear that was real.......sweet awesome build!!!!
  10. Couldn't said it any better!!!!!...............................also must keep in mind that most Asian language's do not use certain letters of the alphabet ,for instance,my girlfriend is Filipino and in their dialect the "F" and "Q" are not used and also when letters like "rl" as in girl are not used....so its very hard for them and for that I am sorry that I don't find this a bit amusing..........
  11. I would second that!!!!,I too would like to have the "Fishbowl"!!!
  12. ..........he momentary took one hand off the wheel twice to adjust his visor ........Ain't NO WAY!!!!!!!.......but it was AWESOME to see from my seat..............
  13. You should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!,posting pics of a 1:1 car an trying to pass it off as a model!!!! .....jusssssss kiddin,I can't think of any words to justify the work you have done.....that thing is beyond words!!!!!!!......
  14. I did a loooooooong time ago.....but I learned to walk away until I calmed down......only thing,its taken me 18 YEARS to come back!!!!!!!
  15. Hey Doc!!!!!,I would love to see your mad skills on one of these!!!!!
  16. WOW!!!!,I hate to say that I normally do not like that wheel/tire combo,~BUT~ I must admit it really works with that car in my opinion.......and again its all just a matter of opinion of who likes what....me?...I really dig the finished product !!!
  17. http://ltl-trucks.fabpage.com/photo_70.html
  18. I have always loved this kit soooooo many different ways of building it........ I really like the direction you are taking for this one
  19. I have been "glued" to this build from the start,being I own a ulgy first generation "FrankenVair"....what a AWESOME finished product!!!!!!,I haven't completed a model for 18 or so years,so does this mean theres hope for me too
  20. I got one of these kits in my stash to build.......but after seeing this AWESOME art that you are performing makes me think "why bother" on mine LOL!!!!!..........lovin' this!!!
  21. .......Man when are you gonna start back on that thing??????
  22. AWESOME work on this one Nick!!!!!!......dig the vintage radio,really captured this one
  23. Love the Beamer !!!!,looks like you did an awesome job on the graphics!!!!!,looks like they were a pain to do.....sweet build!!!
  24. Trust me I understand about the blocking of the lower grille area,just as I been a "Bug Junkie" for 30+ years,understanding that "Air Suckers" don't spring leaks,but they sure need their air!!!!......also the fact I would have to redo the deck latch and rear panel........I am more interested in the rear bumper-ette set up.......as far as heat n such in my "FrankenVair" its all blocked off....but in all honesty I probably will never get that far with the car,its just a driver fun toy......if anything we will probably Rat Rod it ..........but no Buzzkill here.....
  25. The Clark my buddy n I worked at (late 70's) did have cartons stored on the back shelves.......I remember this because of that is how we got hooked on smoking by trying different brands....took me almost 20yrs to quit
