Nice job! That looks identical to the one at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo that I saw a few weeks ago... maybe a few different colors but that's the first thing that popped in my head.

Beautiful... I need to start my diorama again... lol

I wish I had some extra too... :/ I'll be looking on like eBay and what not too and maybe I'll stumble upon some parts that I can do a little DIY to to make work.

Up the Irons!!!

That's perfect! I will definitely look that route then, I just don't have any puddy right now... lol so once I do I'll explore those options, since I don't have the extra cash I'll finish my chassis and go from there. Thanks man

I finally got 2 pics!

Sorry for the shaky pic I'm more worried about the rear tires, since they are wider than the front ones. And this pic is without the brake calibers in place, as well as the rims not being placed on the axles. I just rested the body of the car on them because in reality the body would only be about 1 or 2 16th's higher than it is. The rears are about 1/16th out, the fronts are pretty dang close to even with the body. But again that's without the brakes... and I still need to find a way to put them on the axles. Hope that helps, and Explorer, those are sweet, I wish I could use those because they would help so much with the theme I'm going for...

Well... For my 05 Shelby Mustang build, I have been wondering about this. When I dry fit my rims to the chassis and body, the wheels are just a little too wide to fit into the wheel wells unless they stick out a little. Is there anyone who makes compatible body kits for 05 Mustangs? Or is this a scratch build thing? As well as a racing spoiler... Much appreciated if any of you could help!

I just keep trying, then when it's like "c'mon... seriously" I just go to a different part of the model to work or stop for the night, cool down and try again the next day with more patience.

I hear ya. I was able to get some assembly and more paint done for the chassis. I didn't like how most of the scheme was black so I painted things like the sway bars and shocks red, the axles and control arms steel/aluminum, and what not. Just to give it detail. But Richard Bell had some 18" BBS rims and tires, I am forever grateful for those they will look sweet with the car!

Sorry guys I've been really busy lately and haven't been able to get pics yet, how's everyone's build going?

Class 2. For now...

That makes sense. To kinda keep that "in mind" or something for later, I think you get what I mean. My wish of course would be to work at a sports card shop or hobby shop... I know as a teen though that's obviously hard to do... lol, I'm going to keep looking around of course, I really haven't decided on where to try to apply though. For the fact in sports cards I've been around that hobby since I can remember and it just comes so natural, as well as the modelling hobby. Thing is in sports cards, the local shop has Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments and what not (no I don't play that lol) but they have a young age group of workers running the shop which gives me some sort of hope a 1st job there or at a different one would be possible. Hobby shops seem to be run by older people (no offense) but they've been around the block which is a good thing because they are very knowledgeable. I would take it as a learning experience for me but I'm also knowledgeable in the hobby and would also be an asset. Thing is I like a relaxed work environment. Hobby shops of any sort would be an amazing first job just to learn from those who know the craft and/or be able to work in a hobby area I love most (as in both)

Sadly I prefer Sharpie's... For sure, that was actually my thought. It allows for me to not only exercise a talent but allows for innovative problem solving, testing and building up of my patience, and minute attention to detail because in the end presentation is #1.

That is what I will change it to then. Perfect! Thanks Charlie

I watched the game then went online after and this is all I did was follow this. I'm speechless about it.

Ahhh that's great to hear then. Never mind my comment!

From what I've seen and heard about how things are going I wouldn't be surprised if it took over a month. The mail carriers were willing to work 3 days a week to keep a little flow going and they accepted less pay and benefits and after a few weeks of that they finally locked them out. (I didn't click the link so I don't know if it's about the same thing) I'm prayin' just as much as you, I want to get some trades going and since the mail has halted in Canada it's tough making a deal.

I apologize ahead for bumping a topic a few weeks old and double posting... But today I saw a 2010 Nissan Skyline R32 down here in Kalamazoo. Never seen one in real life before...

Yeah that's what I was kind of worrying about lol, I put down Plastic Models, which will hopefully allow for them to get the idea and when/if they ask I'd clarify.

Yeah it throws a massive stick in the spokes of the sports card hobby too... it's just a mess.

Thanks guys I hope it all goes well

Alright, I'm getting around to making my high school resume, and was thinking... is this a hobby that would be good to put in the "Interests?Activities" area of my resume. I thought I may as well ask the best Just was wondering about it... and if anyone has any resume help, it wouldn't hurt to hear that too

I was pulling 2-3 hours a day for a while but then I've just been in a block with 0... I need to take that step and walk to my basement, but now that I have Flight Simulator X installed and I'm playing online... I'm having trouble doing the other hobby

I've been away lately sorry guys, Jim no worries Haven't seen that show yet... I'll have to check it out lol And building has kinda stalled... I'm kinda in that "modeler's block" and I'm at my dad's again, but I did get some more detailing on the engine done.
