Cranky like the way the gremlin has come along. Looks great in the primer. Can't wait to see the final paint. Ira nice job lookiing good. Looking forward to seeing more progress. bobthehobbyguy

Chris hope all is well. Missing seeing any posts from you. bobthehobby

Cranky. Like your gremlin. can't wait to see some color on it. Don't have a 3 day weekend but you did get me to pull out a kit that I had started and had been preped for paint. Its the Tom Daniel Sitnger dragster basically box stock - might wire the engine though. Got it painted today - its three tones.testors one shot gold in the front, one shot orange and the one shot red in the back, also got the chassis painted tamiya semigloss black.. Will clear it tomorrow and get the rest of the kit parts painted. One thing I love is fast drying paint and glue for the these projects. Ira love this new project. Any thought on what color its going to be. Cranky I think this is a great idea and it should happen more. Great way to get over the modelers block. bobthehobbyguy

Very nice. Great job on the figure. Like the paint. Bobthehobbyguy

Nice job. Glad to see you are finishing this. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Looking good. Nice touch on the seats. bobthehobbyguy

John This is one great model. I would swear I was looking a the real car when I saw that engine shot. bobthehobbyguy

Looks like you are getting really close to putting paint on this. Looking forward to seeing it in color. bobthehobbyguy

Chris, I have a question for you. Are you just copying the seat in brass to get the thickness down. If so you could copy the seat with masking tape to get a template. This would help guide you on getting the compound curves by cutting darts in the brass and the push them into position and then solder them. Hope this helps. By the way would you post what you end of for a template for the brass. It might help others that want to do a seat. bobthehobbyguy

This is really cool. Very nice scratchbuilding. The tires really make it. bobthehobbyguy

Keenb, Thanks for showing this. I have learned a lot from your posts. bobthehobbyguy

Can you show what you mean by simple molds for pressing the plastic into. Your work is very impressive and I can't believe how fast you are with turning out these models. Thanks, bobthehobbyguy

I seen an actual car that this was done to. Also seen some magazine articles showing it. Great start. bobthehobbyguy

John, Another killer model in the works. I'd swear I was looking at the full size car from those photos. You are the master with alclad. bobthehobbyguy

The color looks great. Looking forward to seeing this one done. bobthehobbyguy

Very nice. These would work with say a track t. bobthehobbyguy

What color do you have in mind for this? I like what you've done with this. bobthehobbyguy

This is really cool. Very nice job scratchbuilding. Am going to be watching your progress on this one. Bobthehobbyguy

I'd suggest using something that fit the period that the car is being built for. How about gold metal flake or maybe pearl white with purple fogging? Scallops might also work. bobthehobbyguy

I know that for the GSL box stock allows decals and bare metal foil. No flocking is allowed. Putty to fix things like ejection pins and sink marks. Also you can do things like drill out exhaust and make a grill see through. The rules are clear you can not make parts out of the sprue. The best way to deal with this is to look into the rules for the contest you are going to enter. Otherwise you will find that you may be bumped out of the box stock class into another class. bobthehobbyguy

I think it needs to be bright. Like a green or orange or red. Might look good in a two tone. Maybe black and red or black and lime green. bobthehobbyguy

Can't wait to see this color. Do you think this will be done for the NNL West in February? Bobthehobbyguy

Its wild. What color are you thinking of for this? bobthehobbyguy

Looks like an interesting project. How about some photos of what you are starting out with. bobthehobbyguy

Very impressive. Any more pictures for how you did the frame? Thanks, bobthehobbyguy
