To those that celebrate, a MERRY CHRISTMAS to one and all! Cheers, Tim

IMO one of the best looking race cars bar none Rich. You did her true justice! congrats! tim

Tomasz, your car is one of the nicest I've seen all year. I looked twice to confirm it was a model. Kudos on a truly outstanding car! Please don't hesitate to share more of your work sir! cheers, tim

Nice intro to the project and the finished build and awards are NICE.........but John, I come here for all the tips and insights you share when you build something............so, how about sharing ALL the goodness next time! Seriously though, Congrats John on another win! cheers, tim

Yup, it's a model...........only because you say so. That is one realistic looking build Urs. cheers, tim

Pascal, just WOW. I love your build but I have to admit I'm going to need more time to go back and stare at all the WIP pics you've shared. There is a lot of goodness throughout your build. Cheers, tim

I truly enjoy all these details and attention you're giving your build. Coming together nicely Andrew. Cheers, tim

You do really clean work Rick. Your time in it shows. cheers, tim

Still lurking Charlie..........any new updates to share per chance? cheers, tim

She looks GREAT sitting in white Roger. Can't wait to to see the rest of it.........it does look "oh so right". cheers, tim

Looks fantastic Ian.....you added a lot of great details too..........cheers, tim

btw Mark, Christmas is coming and I've been a good boy............sooo.............seriously, who wouldn't want to own this build of yours. Congrats again sir. Cheers, tim

Hope you're up and about soon Andrew. I admire your build and the generous info & documentation you've provided on the thread. Helpful to all of us no doubt. Get well soon, cheers, tim

Something a little different from my usual builds & work. I can't do much at the bench right now even though I'm anxious to get back to it in earnest. My daughter has a school project that she is doing on the Wright Brothers. Their prime competitor at the time was Samuel Langley. He used an engine originally developed by a Mr. Balzer but it needed further development and he hired a Mr. Manly to take it to the next level. Anyways, the Wright engine was good for 12hp whereas this radial was eventually good (in 1903) for 54hp. Back in the day that was a huge contrast. So I took a week to machine the basic Balzer prototype and it was FUN! It's close to accurate but I wasn't being a stickler on it. It would have looked cooler with cooling fins but they didn't add those until the final version of the engine was complete. Surgery btw is Jan. on both wrists for carpal so again, I made this one kind of quick..........Less than 2 weeks from start to finish. Hope you like it. Cheers, Tim The book cover above was a from a great book on the subject that I bought from the Smithsonian btw.

Good morning Chris, I came across your thread for the first time today and I'm amazed at your progress and the beauty of this car. I've learned too that I need a new "toy" in a magnetic polisher. That thing seems quite cool and I love the results. Each one of these challenging kits you seem to get better and better with and the Bentley is no exception. Really like the color too. More posts now please! cheers, tim

Yup, I checked......it is FULL detail just like the title says. Love your subject Randy and the advances in 3D printing continue to amaze. However, with all of those advances, the skills required to make them come to life are what makes it truly stunning. You sir, have made it "truly stunning". cheers, tim

It might be months between posts but every time you post it's a treat for the eyes. Thanks Randy....I think this is my all time favorite build of yours........although I remember a certain GT-40 that was something in its own right. Cheer sir! Tim

Dave (GoatGuy) - See you tomorrow Dave! JC - Thanks so much! See below Franics - Thank you too...........and btw, are you about ready to post your NEWEST build you MUST be working on? Don't keep us hanging. cheers Randy - Always nice to hear from you too Randy. ANY news posts you might have we'd all certainly welcome them. Thanks for thinking of me. So, update on the health stuff..........tests run today say I have carpal (?) tunnel in both hands and nerve damage in my neck between the 5 & 6 vertebrae. Not sure what all of that means but I'm sure some of its not great. I see the surgeon for a consultation next week so I can figure out what I can do to fix these things. Still a speed bump in my opinion but a bit bigger one than I thought. I'll get this build done I promise and my next post will be of something I actually accomplish on it instead of medical updates. Cheers to everyone, tim

Superb weathering techniques Lin. That's a great representation of the plane. Congrats on a great job. cheers, tim

Truly a lovely build Pascal. Your keen eye for details and execution of them is simply astounding. There is so much to absorb when looking at your photos and a BIG thank you for sharing the build step by step. Please be sure to share other builds you undertake or have built. Cheers, Tim

Interesting to watch this build Sonny.......especially what you're doing with the paint. I too can't wait to see this one when completed. cheers, tim

Quite the build that I've not been following Bruce but I'll rectify that......have to agree with you too that regarding the leather look on the seats, Chris Smith DOES have that knocked down. cheers, tim

VERY nice looking car Ken. Congrats on her. cheers, tim

Truly enjoying your build Charlie. Please keep the updates coming and thanks for sharing your techniques/methods. cheers, tim

Nice touch Dave...........she looks great! cheers, tim
