One things undeniable Charlie......you ARE having fun! Both builds right now are a treat to the eyes and this engine will be something I can't wait to see come to life. Best of luck with her. cheers, tim

There is NO moss growing on you Chris.....jumps from one outstanding build to another and the subjects couldn't be more different. Fantastic is all I can say and you know that I love this new car you're now undertaking. Big Cheers, Tim

That makes MY head hurt Francis. Your comment about the efforts to make the block and with this level of detail can truly only be appreciated by a machinist IMO. Not being arrogant or rude but I can sit here and just go through the number of steps etc. to make it and I'm sure I'd still miss a few. To be that accurate with "tear-downs" etc. from one to the other is quite the achievement but you have pulled it off beautifully. You're stretching yourself now and it's great to see you hitting the marks. You've got every reason to be proud of her. I sent you a PM btw about a tool I've found helpful on Sherline machines that might be of use to you. Cheers, Tim

Stunning how she turned out Joe. I'm amazed at the wing span on that bird, you gotta be happy with this one too! cheers, tim

Hey Joe, great subject you've chosen again. I'm always in awe when I see pics of IPMS shows and what the armor, aircraft and diorama builders can do. The aftermarket stuff available seems endless too so you could go nuts on this. I know this is your first but be sure to share the 2nd one "that I'm going all out on"........cheers, tim

Kudos Chris! The pics you've shared are fantastic. I'm curious, of the MFH kits you've built, how do you rate this one in terms of overall difficulty? Oh, and what's on deck for you? Whatever it is, please be sure to share it with us? Cheers, Tim

I wish I had your skills & talent Francois. I love this creation of yours......thanks for posting and sharing it here. cheers, tim

Just for drag racing............

Thanks everyone for the positive comments above. The doctor did confirm that I have 3 tears, 2 in the bi-cep and a new rotator cuff tear. Surprisingly, the doc said that since none are complete tears, he wants me to do therapy for the next 6 weeks and then we'll go from there. I don't want surgery (who does right?) but I DO want to get back to 100%. Hopefully delaying things in the long term. The Maverick, I'm working on the fuel system with the pumps and regulator. It'll have dual Holley "Big Blue" 110-GPH electric pumps with the matching Holley fuel regulator. Pics attached. I've got just 1 alum. base to make yet and then a few brass pieces & straps to finish them. I'll media blast portions of the pump body and paint the upper half. Each pump will have 11 bolts along with wires to detail em. Cheers to one and all! tim the regulator above will be about 1/8" in length to give some perspective of the challenge to make it....

I'm a fan of "what if's" Ian and this one you're tackling has me quite interested. Can't wait to see how wild you go with it. cheers, tim

Francis, you big tease.......come on, show the pics....cheers, tim

WOW Ian.........now this is quite interesting. 3D printing has also really changed our hobby. Amazing. Cheers, tim

Good morning, This morning I awoke to a text from my friend John Teresi informing me that Dave Sherman, who posted on this forum as Comp1839, has passed away from cancer on March 15th. He was 65. I can only state that he was not only a phenomenal fabricator/builder & machinist, but also a true friend. I learned so much of what I've picked up over the years from Dave and his willingness to take a newby under his wing was something I'll always remember. He was a genuine person, a bit rough around the edges at times (aren't we all?) but the man had a great heart. He'll be missed and the modelling world has lost a great one too. Tim

Love exotic and putting a novi in this beast will certainly qualify Charlie. btw, so..........1/16th scale huh? What's next.....1/25th? It's a slippery slope. Cheers, tim

I enjoy blowing your pics up Charlie to capture all of the detail you put into your builds. I can't wait to see the body assembled and clear coated, that two tone is going to POP! cheers, tim
