  1. What happened Bob, you get divorced? :lol: Yeah, I like them all. If that's 2012, 2013 will be a lulu. Wish I could be that productive with as many to be proud of.
  2. It's early so I'm not endorsing the unlimited idea, but it occurred to me that since this migrated over here from over there, some members don't know (or learned late) what Cannonball is. Maybe an unlimited would make it accessible to a new group.
  3. That first pic hooked me. Sassy.
  4. Speaking of polls....
  5. That's a line up to be proud of. I like all of them.
  6. A classic custom and a longroof, what's not to love? Yeah, that rear end is a head scratcher but you gotta do what's within your means and what keeps the build fun. Forcing something that's not what I want and is too complicated is modeling suicide for me.
  7. Jeepers Adam, that's got attitude. I think that crazy interior 'wallpaper' is the first time I've ever seen anything like that. Very original. Daring, but I like it.
  8. Glad you brought your pics up here and put 'em on the top shelf. It's worth seeing.
  9. Heh, heh, heh. Go ahead, you can say that with a sinister grin.
  10. Agreed. Very smooth mix. Looks right.
  11. What a bummer Michael. Sure would've been good to see your 'goods'. Don't leave us hanging though, be sure to let us see it when you wrap things up. Same with you Slant, sorry you can't make it but that's real life. You have a very compelling start and I'd sure like to see the rest of that kitbash. I don't have the technical knowledge you do so I've been paying attention. If you need any help setting up the polling thread, maybe Jantrix or I can help. Niko, you did another well thought out, well executed build. Great job. MLM I liked your color choices the moment I saw it. I also like your engine detail. I hope when (if) we run this again you will jump in early and take the time to really show us the best of your talent. Well done my friend.
  12. Another nice asphalt burning powerhouse Andy. Glad you made it to the line. Looks good. I'm also glad you learned a few things. Sometimes I don't have the courage to experiment with new techniques or products if everything else is going well.
  13. Wonderful detail all the way through. Best of all it looks serious. Not a tall fendered luxury boat, but a tough, coast to coast, run the little guys out of the way racer.
  14. Good question James. This interior was the inspiration for my color choices. My first choice was aqua blue, which looked good on paper but the painted parts against the gold were too loud, like circus colors. So I just learned from the pros.
  15. ARC I wouldn't have believed it. When you started just a week ago and jumped in with what I considered secondary details like drilling out the grill and all the dremel work I thought you'd be a no show. I admire folks who can work that quick and have the 'cojones to still do a quality, well considered job. Nice work.
  16. Good to know Aaron. I've never considered Future for adhesion. Even clear enamel didn't occur to me, though it used to be in my arsenal before my 10-year hiatus claimed some of my previous knowledge. Thanks again folks for the comments.
  17. The wackier the better. As always, nice work.
  18. Thanks guys, I'm all warm and fuzzy now. Nothing like affirmation. Jim, I think I would have failed if I didn't hear from you. Regarding the headlights Casey, the lenses are flat on the back so the white glue either finds air as it dries or finds a way to crinkle. Wouldn't have been a problem if it was concave so I can probably resolve it if I can find different shaped lenses.
  19. This was the Highway Scenes edition Corvette and though I wasn't too troubled by the ancient engineering, the separate windshield frame and misshapen bulletproof glass almost defeated me. I ended up shaping clear plastic and speaking in tongues at the flimsy, delicate frame. Headlights, taillights and grill are scratch built, other shapes came from the parts box, including two 1/48 scale drop tank halves.
  20. This is my entry in the Cannonball CBP, where you'll find the build. I invite you to view here. Revell 1960 Corvette with body modifications. The obvious inspiration was the 1954 Buick Skylark concept car and the '54 Olds F-88 Concept.
  21. Racers, I present the 1960 Cor-Vex. These are some look-see shots. I invite you to view more in Under Glass. Admittedly, this one strayed from the original plan which was to be more of a road racer, but the steelies just seemed to betray the show quality of it. Also I started to become more enamored with colors and styles of the magazine customs of the time. Nothing to see underneath. I just freehanded the underpipes. The dated chassis didn't lend itself well to detail and goes together in odd chunks.
  22. Wow Zen, simply fantastic. Looks great from all angles, including underneath. I like all your choices. And when the race is done it'll be put to quick use making runs for the... um... servers at the Strangiato.
  23. Racers. With a heaving sigh, I am done. It's still in the wheel jig resting comfortably overnight, so glamour shots tomorrow night. (Except for you Zen, glamour shots will be yesterday morning or something like that).
  24. Wow, nice work. I didn't realize Lindberg gives you everything to make it factory stock.
  25. Summarizes things pretty well. You make a good ambassador to the hobby.
