  1. Gotta agree with Bill. Your doctor needs to find something to help with the pain. Its been long enough you've gotten into a pain cycle it makes it hard to get control of the pain, I know becuase I had a similar problem with siatica.
  2. Outstanding work.
  3. Looks interesting. Watching to see what you do next.
  4. Also if you are not into the idea of smoking there is the option of edibles. Another thought have you considered acupuncture. It might provide an option for the pain. As far as the pain you've gotten into a serve pain cycle, when I had my issues with sciatica I thought it would pass so I didn't seek treatment immediately. Big mistake. I got myself into a major pain cycle. Hang in there Harry,
  5. From my experience I never had much luck with the pills. My fix for sistica was life style changes. Second try to keep a log of what you are doing and how you've slept. You might find a pattern for what makes the difference for the nights that are better. Hang in there.
  6. Gotta agree on photos. Pictures will show you things that you will see that the plain eye won't show. Also when you sand away ejector pin marks and mold lines go over those area with luquid glue and then sand them again. This eliminates ghosting. Be sure to prime parts as it is a good check to make sure that you hhaven't missed something. Also when you add detail make sure it is in scale. Nothing iis worse than spark plug wires that look like garden hoses. Reasearch is important to get the correct size for items. Also if you are doing something like a chassis make sure that tubing is the correct size. Again if its not its not going to look right.
  7. Basics are the most important things to consider. No ejection pin marks , mold lines and seams. Second is paint. No runs, dust, and no orange peel. Once you get those two down pat. You can consider adding details. Any details added need to be down flawlessly and in scale. Otherwise don't bother to add it as it will detract from the model. Look at the rules for box stock for any contest you may want to enter. Great way to get the basics down pat.
  8. How about doing some more on the stagecoach for a change of pace? I know you will get motivated on the funny car because you are so close to the finish line. You still have pleny of time to finishbthevfunny car for the DSC and GSL next year.
  9. Looks interesting. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.
  10. Any more progress? Looking for more on this masterpiece.
  11. Glad to see you are going to stay with the funny car. It something different thats not been done much. Definitely will be cool.
  12. I like your entry the decals came out great.
  13. Another important feature for the list is the windshield frame which indicates its an open car.
  14. Cool. Great idea. I don't see it as being silly.
  15. Nice start. Like the idea of doing it as a stock chassis. Unfortnately to get the Licoln body to fit the Dobbertein chassis they did some skicing and dicing. So if would take a lot to get the body back to stock.
  16. Nice start. Always a pleasure watching your projects come together.
  17. Recently at my hobby shop and saw a Round 2 l Lindberg kit with a sticker saying it was manufactured in the USA. Is round 2 doing any of their kits in the states. The box in question had a 2015 date on it.
  18. I suggest sticking with the rear engine funny car. Then do tge other choices later. There nothing stopping you from doing anther engine for an altered.
  19. Great start. The lola has always been a favorite of mine. Definitely will be following.
  20. Glad your back. Hope you had a good vacation,
