I've got a thread you can pick through here, but unfortunately it ends with a cliffhanger (aka the unfinished pile).

From 2012, pic with his 1/43 collection and comments about his building and collecting. https://www.hagerty.com/media/archived/rush-drummers-models/

THIS! The only show I've watched that I describe as my favorite. First run, second run, bought the box set when it finally came out years later. Then fiancee got hooked and we watched again.

I guess any way that looks good when you're done is the right way. I sure like your crisp door lines. On this one, I removed my cut section and bent the lower stem back and the upper stem forward. I don't recall if I added a couple half cuts to offer relief to the bends. The pic doesn't really show any.

So basically, all you're buying is bragging rights. When Beeple sold his jpeg at auction for $69-million, it was all over the news, complete with lots of images of the work. The buyer got the single original code for the high res image, yet there's no shortage places to view copies of it. I guess one could argue the same for viewing copies of original Rembrandts, but it's hard to compare machine generated code to original nuanced brush strokes from the flesh of a human hand to canvas. And you don't need specialized machinery to see it.

Having come to this thread a few days late, I too was wondering why nobody was questioning the language of the survey. If it was multiple choice, and one of the answers was "...comes from brown cows" then you could guarantee that 7-percent of a thousand people will be smart alecks and pick that answer. Heck 7-percent aren't even likely to answer any of it honestly or seriously.

Hey, I love this! That ought to diffuse occasional confusion.

Maybe not WHOLE cars, but they all saw pieces of cars before. ?

Got my copy in the mail yesterday (4/19/21) in ND. Pretty slick gentlemen. Kudos to Tim Kolankiewicz for design and layout.

I have the opposite experience. I've never thrown anything out and regularly contemplate the wisdom of that, especially living in a 950 sq.ft. house with tiny closets.

To be honest, if I'd known this thread was going to be this long-lived and thorough, I'd have considered a more thoughtful, descriptive and searchable heading.

Then you might need one of these. You'll be centuries ahead of the Smokeys. ?

Love that VW Pat. Man, you got every detail, especially the top cover. For the record, be sure to include some finished shots in the 2020 thread

Pete, I love what you're doing with the Audi and SUPER clean!

What a cool piece. Well thought out and executed details.

Ebay would be the biggest hassle for kits. You live in car country, I'm sure there are interested modelers in your area. I'd favor the swap meets and Facebook garage sale so you can sell bunches at a time. Plus, as Tom G. says, you'll be reaching the people who want it most, face to face. Hobbyists will usually walk away with a few pieces more than they came for, and you might make some new friends who'll occasionally contact you later for more.

I see your car is in "end of race" configuration. How optimistic ?. Your relatively early completion betrays the amount of time, effort and focus you've put into this. A well thought out and executed theme model. Hats off, Kurt.

Excellent choice for a car of this limited era. I think it's a true beauty among most other early 70s land yachts, including Cadillac and Chrysler and I can tell the craftsmanship is spot on.

Tried to look up other articles, but they all pretty much repeat the same press release of precious little info and flowery optimismistic generalities.

Unchopped. Permanently chopped.

X2. All of it.

That's the thing about this vintage of Corvette. The rear ends are so distinctive that anything different changes whole personality of the car. Brilliant idea and clever use of available parts.
