  1. If that's a quick build you did a great job Doc. Looks like a lot of fun. Every minuscule detail looks great. I'd really, REALLY like to see that Danny.
  2. Yeah, that engine really sits back there. Excellent ambitious work so far. Is that an exhaust dump under the door?
  3. As troublesome as these kits are, I think they're worth building because they look so good complete and yours is no exception. Looks really good.
  4. There are two technics that can serve you well, depending on the need. Sometimes it just easier to cut the long thin strips on the sheet, then carefully lay and adjust as you go, no involved trimming needed once it's down. Each model I do I use both technics.
  5. I'd take your disappointing builds all day long. Everything looks great to me. Beautiful work.
  6. I'm a big fan of art from found objects so naturally I really really like this. I think it takes a certain talent to make the objects flow harmoniously and look like they have purpose. People like you make it look easy. It's not as easy as it looks.
  7. Excellent. These always build up into something interesting. Looking forward to it. Depending on how long ago you got it, that could be one of mine. I cast and sold a few in the early 2000s. Straight casting so bodies were a little thin.
  8. My thinking was that the off road idea would attract some of the post apoc folks, but without the taint of violence and evil. I would also back a box build idea. It could help retire from my stash one of any number of kits that I have no particular plans for.
  9. I hate to tell you this Steve, but that's one of those colors that is heavily effected by the color of your light. As a graphic designer it was demonstrated to us in a seminar when we were asked to identify a color very similar to this under room light, then look at it again outside and see the color difference. What you've done looks pretty good, but if you really want to count rivets, mix it under the kind of light you expect it to be viewed under the most.
  10. I'm ready for a back roads race. Cannonball Grey Roads. Any vehicle with 4WD or AWD. Could be rally car, truck, conversion, mash-up.
  11. I've been returning to the PT Cruiser lately and this week I finished up the R8 V-10 engine. I must say, hats off to Revell, it's an amazing piece. All the parts fit seemingly seamlessly with crisp decals to help detail it. Though I'm not a super car fan, it's hard not to love the fit and finish of the Audi. I agree with a couple reviews I've read that it's a shame some of that well engineered detail goes unseen once it's assembled. A quick look at the chassis. The 5-piece suspension on all four corners had to be raised to get the car "out of the weeds" and to stock height. Still under construction, but this is where I'm at.
  12. Geez Drew, Excellent. Now I have to go see what the drama was about.
  13. Nice to see you back again Krishna. Your stuff is always worth taking close look at, as these are. Nice work
  14. Fun car. Good job. All the little details make this stand out.
  15. If respectable build means a really snappy looking racer, then yes, it's respectable.
  16. Thanks for the pics Tim. Certainly gets the brain gears grinding away. Lots of inspiration.
  17. Yeah, that's a sad development. He was an asset around here.
  18. The scale difference is probably troubling enough to fend off all but the bold.
  19. Very carefully crafted and well thought out stuff. You've added to the inspiration.
  20. This is so cool and so different. Very well executed.
  21. Really superb. I love to see collectible kits done to a level few modelers can achieve. Excellent on everything.
  22. I happened to come across this profile photo of a real car and decided to do a little comparo. Guess what, the model isn't as disproportional as I thought. There are some vertical differences and the door doesn't line up exact, but for the most part, not too bad.
  23. I look forward to the source being cited on this on Friday, because it's got all the markings of CG rendering. If it's a model, to my eye it's been deceptively altered so I'm going real.
  24. Congratulations Brayden, nicely done. Don't forget to enter it in the final lineup after Dec. 1. The Caprice is becoming exciting. Love the extra touches. That console is brilliant. Paint actually touched my PT Cruiser last night so I'm happy that forward motion has resumed a little.
  25. Precisely. Maybe as a SLR, but not on the Indy track. Fine on the street as a novelty, anything different is good. But maybe it's time to put this in the archives of concepts that have been explored, learned from and retired.
