There is another model building forum where one of the mottos is "The goal is completion and NOT perfection." I am trying to adopt that as my mantra otherwise I get frustrated with little things and get nothing built. Working on the 48 Ford coupe and I keep repeating this to myself as I go so that I may get a model completed sometime in the next year.
It was great meeting you Bob. Happy to visit with Pat. And was good seeing the fellows from the DRAG Group including JeffB and Kris and also picked stuff up from Scale Modeling by Chris. Also had a chance to see Tom Carter and Grand daughter. Great Show! Great weekend! Here are some pics from the show.

It'sa Bugatti! Whadiwin? oh wait... Seriously as Skip said there are so many great models of these out there it's really hard to tell. The harder I stare at it the more I think real but I can't really say why....
Looked at the cover of this issue at a vendors booth at Motor City NNL 7 but put it back. Mine should arrive in 2 to 3 weeks so I'll enjoy it then. Cover looked really cool though....
Big Band. Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, Gene Krupa, Glen Miller etc and the new crop like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra, Squirrel Nut Zippers etc.
Great to see you back Ismael. I always looked forward to your builds. Hadn't realized it's been 3 years since we've last viewed your posts. I'm sure you will regain your abilities quickly. Build on!
I also attempted this project a number of years ago. Here's a photo of the model that was signed by the cast members at a taping in Toronto.
Funny story. When I built the Possum Van I did not realize until too late that the real Possum van was a maxivan (extended). So my model was wrong as the van appeared in the series. About a year after I built it the original Possum Van was destroyed (I think it wore out from being beat up so much). The replacements included a regular wheelbase van so then my model became correct.
Really hoping the weather holds to be able to attend this show. Been wanting to go since they started but there has always been something either weather or other commitments.
