Dr. Cranky....sometimes you're just plain scary! However that's just the type of thing that will keep us "tuned in".

Your hair got wet?

Man I'm torn! I want to say real but another part of me is saying model. Maybe I should say it's a real model...

This is a great project! The colour should make it a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing. My mind was envisioning red, I guess related to Ferrari but also due to the red Focus wagon sitting in my driveway....

I guess I will never make a great modeller. I keep staring at the comparisson pictures Harry posted and I can't see the problems. The only thing I can see is the front bumper being off. The roof, sides and grille all look the same to me. I've stared at it and stared at it and I don't see the problems. I guess not having binocular vision doesn't help...

More NNL East pics. Through sun, rain, sleet, snow, being lost (despite making the trip a few times before) turning left on a red light , a flooding parking lot and finally driving through a flying 4X8 sheet of plastic, I'm happy to be able to bring you pics from NNL East. Covered 2035 kms (1265 miles) and 23 hrs of driving time. (I must love this hobby...) It was a great time spent with good friends. I was thrilled to meet Ken Hamilton. I also enjoyed having a few minutes to chat with many of the after market vendors including Jeff Ballard and Kris Morgan, Don and Carol Holthaus, Norm and Mary Veber, Daniel Gailloux, RMR resins, KDog and his wife from Bandit Resinsand many more. Sorry I missed talking to many of the rest of you who were present. I know there was a Facebook friends photo but did I miss Spotlight and MCM photos? NNL East 2011

I did pick one of these up at NNL East. It is a really sweet piece. You would swear that it was a plastic model kit body and parts. Great resin caster to deal with. Many Thanks Jeff!

Boy Jeff, I hope you have some of these cast for NNL East!!!???!!!

By this time next week, the money will be spent, the photographs taken and the bench racing finished.... I can hardly wait! Look forward to seeing many of you there!

Matt that is a fantastic build! This car is on my must have list. I only hope I can do as good a job as you have with it.

Batman, your new Ferrari is ready! That is one mean looking machine Curt. Job well done.

Wow! That's your first build in that long? Wow! Great work! Makes me afraid to go back to the bench. You are to be commended for the patience to pull that off on your first build in a long time. Again Kudos!

Daniel: Love the Bug tuner! Slick and the wheels really set it off. That is very well done.

I like it! A nice simple concept and a great build. Well done.

That is a very nice clean build of that Mercedes Matt. Don't write off Fujimi though. That is one of their older kits. Most of their recent releases are very Tamiya like in their quaility and detail.

Bruce, That's a really neat take on the stock car and it's sponsor. I love it! Job well done.

Too kool for skool! Great little rat!

Great build of a really cool race car. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry Matthew. It's April 1st. I'm glad my review sounded beleivable but it's a SCAM. I always get my mags about 3 weeks after you guys do. I'll be lucky to get January's in 2 to 3 weeks. Sorry about that. O.K. I see you were editing while I was responding. Glad you got it. Peter

Yep! Received issue #160 today with April cover date on it. They are really starting to catch up! Lot's of good stuff in it. Gregg does a review of the new Mergatroid air brush. It's a new company making air brushes out of Carbon Fiber. He states: Heavens to Mergatroid that's one fine air brush. Exit stage left. O.K. Pau Harry has gotten into the writing biz with an article on how easy and fun it is to assemble a Pocher kit. Moebius have announced if the Hudson and Chrysler do well, they will bring out a 51 Studebaker and a 49 Oldsmobile. The Resin Talk columnist says the new Amphicar kit from Ma's Resin really floats his boat. Wayne Moyer does his usual excellent reviews in Collector's Showcase and also has an article on adding brake lines to collectible model cars. Bill and Len build the new Revell 48 Ford with the surprise stock parts and body. Larry Greenberg is amazed at the new Revell 40 Ford woody based on their convertible kit and is also mighty impressed with the glue together 66 Batmobile kit from Round 2 Tim Ahlborn steps out of his comfort zone and turns the new Moebius Lonestar into a rocket powered exhibition truck and finally Gregg announces in his editors column that he was able to purchase another car builders magazine that another company was divesting itself from for peanuts. Our favourite mag will now be called Scale Cars Auto Magazine or SCAM for short. Isn't it a lovely April day? I think I'll go sit out in the sun.

I have to admit to hoarding including having multiples of some kits especcially A's, T's, 28/29 Lincolns and 32 Fords. Probably well over 400 + and well as numerous resin kits. "Hi! My name is Peter and this is my first Model Car Kits Anonymous meeting. I was referred by my friend Bill Eh? I admit to being a kit hoarder. I can't stop buying. I get so many neat ideas." Group: "Hi Peter!"

I love seeing builds like this. Great road racing Ferrari! Nice clean build. Can almost hear it blasting away from corner 5 at Mosport!

This Spring? In time for NNL East maybe perhaps maybe please??!!

I congratulate you on your other modelling hobby. But I have to admit that for myself I voted no. As hard as I try I just cannot wrap my head around paper modelling. I can't even explain why - it's just some sort of mental block like some people have to diecast modelling. It's like to me a magazine on the internet is not a magazine, a model made of paper is not a model. But I've seen the results and they can be convincing.....arrrgghhh! I'm going to hit my idiot head against a wall for awhile.... In the meantime I say go for it. Like all other subjects on the board some will be interested and some will not.

That is a magnificent P4! Well done indeed!
