Hi Jim, Welcome to the forum Great to see one of these being built. Your scratch work is really upgrading the weak point of this kit. Love your low cost detail work!!!! Randy

Thanks you guys!! Brad, It is just the beginning. Have plans to build a shop similar in size to yours. A long term project for sure but I'm used to that, been building my train layouts for 30 years and still not done Appreciate the recent comments Tom & Brian. Hi Pat, You are too kind, Really enjoy watching you build your engine shop! Did build up a cutting torch for the shop... Thanks for looking in! Randy

Hi Brad, The details are just perfect. Nicely cluttered up. Congrats on the award my friend ! You have some cool stuff in your model room but I liked this the best. Like what you have added and look forward to seeing it in person next year. Randy

Hi Pat, Wonderful dio you are building!!! Will be stealing ideas from you when I build some more machinery for my shop. You are a talented scratch builder sir. Randy

Hi Tim, I like your build so far and that paint job is gorgeous !!!! That color is not one I would have thought of for this car but it really works. Randy

Progress looks good my friend !! Like the way you overcome those 'little ' issues that always pop up on a build. Randy

The Nova is just AWESOME Richard. Really like the barn too! Randy

Outstanding paint and decal work Steve!!!! Randy

Love this build Brother !!!! Superb paint as always. Randy

Well that is just crazy good !!!!!! The breathers and the water neck are so small and so right on. Thanks for posting more ref. pics lately, really enjoy seeing the real thing and then seeing your renditions which are waaaaay better Randy

WOW !!! You just never disappoint my friend. Superb work!!!! Randy

Have to echo all the others Jonathan !!! Randy

Hi Cameron, Danno has it right. The Colpar Hobbytown in Aurora is still the best shop in town. Decent selection of kits with a wide range of manufactures and scales. Some aftermarket stuff. Huge selection of paint. The legend that is Caboose Hobbies is in a sad state right now. It has been announced that they are moving. Half empty store that brings a tear to my eye. I hope they can bounce back to what they were before! Randy

How cool is that !!!! So fun to go thru this thread Brad. Randy

Hey Chris, Great update buddy, kinda forgot what it looked like with the paint on. Just AWESOME!!!!!!!! Randy

Hi Curt, Wonderful build my friend!!! Look forward to seeing it in Utah. Randy

Hi Paul, Great start on this one. The body and motor look terrific!!!!! Randy
