  1. Nice work. You sir, are a craftsman, and your attention to detail is exceptional. Now could all this be because of your location? You are way too far north with too much daylight in summer and too much darkness in winter? Meaning, that you don't want to waste the daylight (summer), but then come winter, being stuck indoors, and the models are calling...plenty of time to work on detail, I ask you what else can you do? Do you know what I mean...the trade off, one against the other but it all evens out and you have got some nice looking models, and wonderful molds. Good job.
  2. Detail is in the ROOF! You nailed some of the paint jobs that started to appear in the late 60's and carried over until about '73...maybe '74. A lot of work and planning went into some of those paint jobs, and like yours some were "far out mannn!" You really nailed, and a good study for those that are interested in doing the same. Go with the flow..."fire in the hole!" Now bite the bullet!
  3. P51 Mustang, who knew??? Think back...P51 Mustang, That is 1940's technology and design and here we are using it today. The internet just keeps on amazing me...to find this info and put it all together without the internet would take months...years of research...and this is why I am awake until dawn Friday into Saturday and Saturday into Sunday. Knowledge...it make my brain hurt!!
  4. Man I love the links...this is what keeps me up all hours of the night. I was just saying to my wife to find this info without the internet would take weeks...months and not to mention the bucks to track down such info...now off to my Alter Wheelbase Mustang that I making back to the original FX mustang...can't keep it simple stupid. I have taken a 66 AMT coupe and cut it up to make the AMT Mustang back into a factory AFX...and I couldn't have done it without all the links. I love the H.A.M.B. and I love this website. Life is fun.
  5. Like Tyrone, you two live in a 1/25 scale world but yet you must receive a 1:1 pay....love the detail, it kills me.
  6. With a uni-body chassis, I would have thought the powers that be would have developed a system of locking the rear frame to the front frame for a balanced thrust of torque...but maybe I am just imagining that one would aware of the torque bending of chassis...but then again maybe not....we are so unaware of our locals. Just a thought...hemi powered, power has to go somewhere.
  7. You live in a 1/25 scale world...live long and prosper.
  8. Your motor looks like a BBC? Just wondering if it's a BBC, why not a BBF? Besides, I swear, you do things on a 1/25th scale time....I don't know how you do it, but your attention to detail is dead on. I try to work on my 1/25th scales but for some reason the real 1:1 world interferes. Someday...
  9. Necessity is the mother of invention, and you nailed it. I love scale modeling, and to see what others have done to make it work, that is thinking outside of the box. Getting past the point of a crappy resin body and using the ideal of "parts is parts", you've got one killer build. BONES TO YA!
  10. You nailed it! Love the '62 Chevy lineup body styles, but the Impala "formal" roof line in gasser form...trouble. Good job with the stance too, you've got it down...BAD!
  11. Nice score! My favorite year 442, design wise, after that anything goes. You have a rare scale 442...love it.
  12. Too cool, what made you pursue a challenge like this? I love wagons, and you've got a great start, nice work, nice planning. I love the take charge and do it yourself models...out of the box. Nice.
  13. Too cool! I remember when that four door Maverick was the spoiler of a many ProStock racers. That four door combo lent itself to perfect weight distribution and granted "4 door Maverick?" was the shock, they proved a point. Nice relic, and a salute to the early origins of ProStock.
  14. the original ProStocks, they were the bomb! I just love that you were able to find a Maverick to work with...and ProStock ta boot! I love the idea of the original pro stocks, it captures the ideals of the "run what'cha brung" of the southern match racing, and just plain smack you in the face on what the factory involvement (lack of publicity) played to make ProStock the monster it has become. I still love ProStock, along with ProMod, they remind me of the 60's, wild and crazy creations...love'em. It's all history and nothing will change the fact that there were some wild carz running back then and they're still running now. Good work, nice history.
  15. Great lettering, steady hand you have there. Love it.
  16. Geez, I just got finished complementing you on you Nova and I find this! I ask you, is this your job, building models? Nice work, you are too much.
  17. you got it right, nice model, nice paint, just all around cool.
  18. Tyrone, are you being held prisoner and forced to complete these models that you display? Sweet Geezus, you build some might crazy karz....where do you find the TIME? Is this some kind of time conspiracy? How is it that you have more hours in the day than us mere mortal humans? Nice work...love it, works of art! Inspiration is what you present, so that others will attempt to reach your level of expertise. I still can't figure out time management, but you sir, have somehow made it work to your advantage. I love the detail, and it doesn't matter if it is auto, air or sea, miniature is mind bending. Thank you.
  19. Nice work, I always love the "what if" when it comes to completing a model. Imagine.....what if! I haven't built a model yet according to the instructions, but that might be why I have only finished a hand full out of 80+ sitting and waiting to be finished...the "what if's", every one of them. Kudos.
  20. Love it, your attention to detail will make this model a make or break deal. It is tough to input detail to make the model on par with what is real but it is that attention to detail that makes the model an object of art.. Your splitting of the carbs just adds to the detail of the period/machine you have chosen to depict and make it a "take note" engine combo...ready to race and give no quarter attitude to your model. Keep it up.
  21. i guess I jsut woke up, but you know what, your attention to detail is close to "religious" in its implementation to completing as close to as the original. The digital age has made access to such "target material" so much easier. I have file cabinets full of magazines from late fifties thru today as reference material. Reference just not in the sense of pictures but the interviews with the builders, to see inside their heads, and to have the final product to stare at...to give us ideas. I am impressed how you hung in there and the finding of material/photos into the construction of such a "cutting edge" funny car in the age of "Funny Car Wars". Thanks.
  22. Love the paper cutter, perfect! It's finding a way to a solution to an end to a problem that makes scale modeling fun. It's just weird how these solutions pop up and prove to be a simple solution to a profound problem, and yet through this medium you able to share so that others can now "do the same". I love the computer revolution, answers are just a dig away. You have helped thousands with a solution to a problem that plagues many builders because they can't thing "outside the box". I love detail...and you have done your share...make it look real.
