I found some amazing model building videos from butane lighter parts. Truly inspirational. Check out my link in general for the youtube video links.

Another impressive model. Its amazing the simplicity of the tools he has to build these. Plus he's made a drill and a sander for his projects. The skill displayed is mind boggling. Just shows that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. There is at least a dozen or more of these wonderful build videos which I plan to watch. Inspirational.

Check out this cool video. There are more videos of building other cars and trucks.

Love it. Great concept. Well done. Lots of nice fabrication work, What was the source for the frame?

First a like button will impact the site. People will take the easiest path. Instead of typing nice will will see an anonymous like. Although a like comment is not the best respond it is not anonymous. I would hope the poster would be more expressive but at least with nice I know who commented on my work. Lets strive to be more communicative. When you comment say what you like about the model.

I think that given the current market for the models it makes the l Most sense to do one 3d print before cutting the molds. Changes in the mold can be expensive. If there is an issue like the exaggerated flares on the cudea it requires adding material and redoing.. if you have something like a chopped top you need to remove material from the molds to fix the probably. Eitger way it is important to identify issues before the molds are cut.

Exactly. The purpose of the forum is to share information. When you see a build make the effort to say why you like it. Finally I want to address that somehow adding a like button is progress. Progress means a better way. A like button does not improve communication ,therefore its not progress it is merely change. Finally in the spirit of conviejnce instead of a like button lets change the views to like. No pesky buttons to push and its just as meaningful.

Got my covid 19 vaccine yesterday. No issues with the johnson and johnson.

First why do we need to make this site the same as every other. From your view of progress lets go to making grunting and other odd noises because it communication and its too much effort to say words. If you want a like button go to facebook.

I hope they can get things back on track. They've had a bad run of luck. I enjoy their magazines.

To me a like button is meaningless. You are not saying why you like something. Is it the color, style, make?

Cool 49 mercury. A different take on a car thats been customized a lot of ways.

Every awards banquet at the GSL a list of modelers that had passed were read. The last time I attended(2015) the list had gotten so long that only those who had passed receltly were read. That list now is a lot l8nger.

Another red flag warning till 6pm monday. Currently 82F ,14% humidity, and 18 mph winds.

I agree 100 percent. If anything we need to encourage more communication rather than less.

Love it. Cool concept. Well done and great colors. Looks like a concept car that the factory might have done.

Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner were my favorites.

One needs to remember there are two types of fixs required on molds. In the novas case removal of mold material is necessary to fix the roof. In the cases of the barracuda the flares would require adding material and then redoing the flares. A much more involved and expensive process. Hopefully the 3d prints will show issues to be dealt with before the molds are cut. Then its a matter of adjusting the computer files. Also if more scanning is done we have seen that better results are possible.

Here is a link to a converted diecast.

A major irk today. The National weather service has us under a red flag warning from 11am today till 5pm tuesday. High winds, low humidity, and high temperatures. We got only 10 in of the normal 30 in we get in a normal rainy season. Too early for this. Its going to be a long summer.

Wearing army boots

Very nicely done.

Nicely done. Very cool.
