I Thank all of My Friends on the Forum, for Your Kind Words to me! My Wife and Family want me to resque another Puppy From the Shelter, and they even put togethe a collection of pictures of Lab Mix Pups that are up for adoption, but right now all those pictures did was remind me of Rex, and how I lost him! I need Time before I can think of getting another Dog!

At 5:45 this afternoon I lost my best FRIEND! HE was Loyal and he always knew when I was Hurting, Sick or just feeling down. He would stay close to me and show me that he cared and wanted to make me feel better. I always promised to protect him, But I let him down, I bought his medication at a Large store because it was less than his Doctor Charged, and people said it was just as good. We found out sfter it was too late that it wasn't as good! I promised Rex that I would always Protect him and now he is gone, and I will never see him again. Rex was the best and I had to set and watch him breath his Last Breath, and I felt his Heart Stop. I found Rex in 91 and he had a broken leg, and three broken ribs where he had been baddly mistreated, put in a trash bag and dumped on the Side of the road! He was just a Lab Mix Pound Pup but he was the Best Friend anyone could ever want, I will always love him and I will never be able to forget him. I can't stand to look at my bed, because the first thing I do is to look for him on it. He would jump up on the bed a sleep where he was always touching me, and When I was in the Hospital My Wife said he would lay there and whimper all night. Now I'm the one crying, and feeling like a peace of my heart has been torn out. If a Dog can go to heaven, Rex is with the Angels tonight! Don't by Heart worm Meds at the Large pet stores, They are not safe for you Best Friend! Tom

The only time I have had a Paint Can Explode was about 5 years ago my Son was Priming some of his figures, and he set a can of White primer down to go get a drink, problem was where he set it. He set it right by an electric heater we used in the work shop. When he came back there was primer all over the work room. He never did that again because I made him clean everything the primer got on!

Nice Goat! Everytime I really like a TV Show it seems they kill it!

Great Work on the Detailing!

Very Nice Builds!

I love building the cars I imagine in my mind, and it takes my mind off of the pain I have to live with!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! Let us all remember what we are celebrating; THE BIRTH OF OUR LORD! It is my prayer that everyone will find Happiness at this season and throughout the New Year!

From the Paint, to the Graphics, To the Detailing, To that Great Interior, It is all Beautiful Work! WELL DONE!

Nice Build, I like the look you gave it!

I use a Paasche spray booth, and it has great filtration. It is a Pro Booth and built for heavy use, so it is not as easy to move around as the Pace Super Mini(which I also own and think is a good booth), but the Paasche seems to do a better job filtering out the Fumes from panting. I use both of my Spray Booths regularly, and I would recomend either of them. Don't Buy that cheap booth, save your money and get a quality booth!

Nice Work on the interior, and the Blue on the body is going to look Good on the finished build!

Very Nice V8-60 Midget!

Very Nice Deuce!

Nice pair of Midgets!

Virgil, This sounds like a great idea! I'll try to build something for the Contest if you do it!

Welcome to the Group Richard! COOL Deuce!

I use ICB Rootbeer bottles for body stands while painting, they work great!

Donn, does some of the most amazing paint work I have seen. His work jumps out at you when you see it at contests. I have been using the same painting methods as Donn for a lot of years now, and I am considered a Good Painter, but Donn's work is just above and beyond Great!

I just ordered two of the Model King Hudsons, from Model Round-Up! One of them I plan to do as Tommy Moones Race Car!

Nice first Build!
