Your most difficult kits
Brudda replied to T-Ray's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thank you very much. One of the hardest I have completed. Here is a Porsche 935/78 engine that is pretty intense also. MFH kit . It’s a work in progress. -
I count my blessings that I didn’t kill my entire family.

Good job on checking on them. I have a buddy going thru the same thing. His dad is 80’s something and very stubborn. Mom the same way. He was asking about the bills being paid and the parents got very defensive. Anyway they did need help . They forgot some payments like power and other things. They have millions of dollars, so money is not the issue. They’re old and forget and do not want help. So my friend had to step in and fix things. Depends on the situation, but he did not give up. The point is, sometimes it’s tough trying to do the right thing. Great job and very glad things worked out. -

Beautiful sir!

Very nice!!! Great build. I have a friend who has two. Two lime green cars with 440’s he bought them when no one wanted them . Actually the dealers had a tough time selling them, but a few years later , they were selling for a little more than a new pinto. So he bought 2. At the time they were very big cars compared to what was selling at the time. Now he has a gold mine. I even worked on his. The front nose is steel, which surprised the heck out of me. Cool build sir. Great job.

Safety in the 50's

Yes! I grew up driving a 1963 4 door falcon with a 170 6 and 3 on the tree. I wish I still had that car. Was a minimalist car but I really liked it. And you could work on it. Did not require a degree in computer s. Man, I really miss that car. -

I remember a ford stylist in 1970 got into trouble for saying “maybe you should not run into things”. A person was commenting on the front bumper on the 1970 mustang that the bumper was too small. It was a big deal then, I guess. As a result was the starting of big 5 mph bumpers. …….That really work great. ? -
Sir, you will love that one. It is very beautiful.

Thank you Noel. And I hear that the IPMS clubs in the UK are the best ever. My bucket list includes a visit to the Telford event, you guys can really build models.

Hello Noel. I am very lucky as I have a friend who worked for DeAgostini models. My friend had an unassembled 1/10 Toyota 2000 GT model from DeAgostini laying around. He said it’s in the way , you can have it. So I took it , built it and things took off from there. It was all over the internet so he gave me another kit. A Red Bull F1 car. That did pretty good, so I built the ford GT. Etc.etc. Liam was at DeAgostini at this time and let my friend give me models to build . So I have some big kits . Still have a few from DeAgostini to build. They are in my shed. Next , Liam and a partner made Agora models. So now my friend works for Agora and I receive kits to build. I do not get to pick, they assign models to me. I would love to build the Aston for sure , but did not get picked for that. I would love to build the jag convertible but did not get picked for that either. Although i did get picked for the Mercedes gull wing. That’s pretty cool. I build them and get to keep them. I do have a few credentials. My occupation is an auto body technician. I have BMW certifications and ford f150 aluminum and ford GT certs also. Oh yes I almost forgot, corvette certs. And I did receive a special award at the IPMS Vegas Nationals for best Shelby. Second and third places at the nationals. This does help out Liam and Mark. Anyway this is a brief history of how I started in big scale. Here is a pic of the Toyota that started it all.
