WOW, mark that paint job sure came out nice! And it sure looks like it'll be REALLY neat when your done.Great job so far!

Nice paint job, Kelle! looks good! Now, if we can talk Ani Jones into buildin we'll have at least 2 wives who build. Your hubby's a lucky man, to have you enjoying his hobby.Oh, I guess it's yours now too! Remember, "The Family That Builds Together,STAYS Together"!

Man, Raul, that lil ride is SHARP, lookin all comfy in it's trailer! Ya know, those white fenders don't look bad at all against the green, kinda makes a nice contrast.Either way she's cruzin in class!!!

Wow, is all I can say. That's just TOO cool! With all the junk I got layin around, maybe I should try somethin like that! Wouldn't be nowheres as neat, but at least I could populate it with REALLY junkie cars!

As a builder of Cadillacs for over 30 years, I can honestly say, that this is the way ALL our cars left the plant, in absolutley BEAUTIFUL condition! After all they were BRAND NEW! Your model is a beautiful build, an extrordinarily nice example of the line! I'm really diggin on it, GREAT JOB!!!!

Well Raul, when you bring it to DEEEEtroit for the Autorama in Feb. Make sure you bring the BIG watchdog, cause somethin THAT nice won't last a second on the streets of Downtown Deeetroit. It looks like Ridler Trophy time for this one! Even in PRIME it looks GREAT! You dun good Bro!

WOW, DALE, now THATS dareing to be REAL different! A road racing "Bargebird"! with a 4 cyl. engine, no less. You got ANOTHER one in the trunk, caz I wonder if a lil ol 4 can pull that kinda weight around! But I gotta admit, you hit the ol nail onna head as far as bein "out the box" thinkin! I like it!

Well Mat, it looks like ya made the right choice, caz I like it to. Maybe Ford should see your Mustang an do the same to theirs!

Ok, I think I got it now!

Is this done with a fine point tip in your airbrush?Do you use ANY kind of template, or pattern, or is it freehand? I would like to try it, but I just don't know where to start! Or how! I (and I'm sure many others) Would REALLY appericiate it if you could post some wip pics while you experiment.Your flames look pretty good for just startin!

Feliz Dia De Guajo! ( thats my spanish lesson for today) It means "Happy Turkey Day" to those who aren't Bi-Lingual. God Bless you ALL and your families!

Ta be honest wicha Dave, I NEVER EVER thought about it. I just do it. I've been doin it for so long, since I was 6, that it's just a part of me, an who I am. If our famly has somethin goin on, an I'm not there, Theresa just says," Oh, He's workin on a model"An my mom, an sisters an brudder just seem to understand.So did my Pop. It's just something I do.I've been doin it for so long, that it's just second nature to me. I guess it's like some of the other guys said, maybe it's just a way to have some of the cars I always wanted, but couldn't afford. I LIKE to do it,it keeps me occupied, an I tend to stay outta trouble. My own family understands what my cars mean to me and they support me in it(my wife an daughter)an I ALWAYS get a model for Christmas, Birthday, and Fathers Day.Makes it alot easier for them to buy gifts! See how thoughtful I am? What do I WANT? Just a model. They take it in stride, after all it IS Dad/Georgie.(my Mom an sis's STILL call me Georgie)

Could it be, just maybe, that our illustreous editor is a born model car freak? Sure do like them rims! NOW dear Ed. will we get a chance to see it all dun up nice an proper? WHERE do you find the time? Oh, an I'm also glad you made it home safely.

Thanks for the offer of the beers Rob, but I haven't drank in many, many moons! Sides when I was drinkin, I probly woulda hunted this running dog down an messed his whole day up!I got very few loyaltys, God, my FAMILY, an the Corps. DON'T EVER mess with ANY of them! Now, see how easy it is to get along with me? I got no animosity for no one, less they break the rules.! Like Gregg said, so eliquantly, I LUVS ME THIS FORUM!!!! it's home to me,an you guys are like my family.( see rule #2)

HaaaHaaa, Harry, your crackin me up! Ok, I won't jump on ya so early on Mondays anymore,( caz I've got Clay watchin my back!) This way you can get you some Extra beauty sleep.(never havin seen ya, you MAY need it!) But I gotta go with Danner on this one , It shore do be lookin REAL to me too. But it is a nice lookin ride, what is it?(yeah, I know, FRIDAY!)

Clay, to be honest with ya, I had forgotten I had started it just to ask everyone to put their sig's in. Then outta NO where, this clown comes along an starts talkin his poop! I can take a joke, or a good ribbing, but to just come in OUR house an start talkin trash without knowin ANY of us, THEN to post stuff an claim it as his, wat a LOSER! Yeah, he kinda got me, talkin his jive an bein all buttheaded, personally, good riddance! This is our house an we need to stay family, like we have been, an NO BODY's gonna bad mouth MY family an get away with it! the sorry FOO!!!

Wish I knew what you looked like Jeff, caz I was there too! I picked up quite a few kits, but my real goal was to find the new RoG Neoplan VIP class Cityliner n1216HD. And I got it. 110 bucks worth of model. Therese thought I was crazy, but, it's MY money, so she don't argue or say anything (cept to tell me I'm nuts!) Man is this thing BIG!!!! AND it's got ALOT of parts! I got my work cut out for me on this BIG Boy!!!

Wow, Tom, I never knew Merc made trucks that late into the 50's. I knew they made early 50's trucks, like 49/50, but not that late. What year did Merc STOP makin trucks. OR were they Canadian?

Ya know, that Lambo kinda thru me, but I thought, ok, maybe it's one of those pre painted kits or somethin, But to put SOMEONE ELSES work an take credit for THEIR hard work, Man, to me THAT'S pretty LOW! Any way, he WAS (an probly still is!) A JERK! Good Riddance! (Down George, he's gone now)

Just makes you wonder what motivates some people to act like a fool. No decent upbringin or somethin I guess. This guy just hit the wrong buttons with me. I guess it may be that ol Corps trainin about havin respect for folks, caz it's a sore spot with me too, Clay, when fools go dissin people they DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!!

Brian, I know I may be askin ALOT from you, But do you think you could show us HOW you did it? Theres a coulpa guys who can paint those kinda flames, but I sure cant, and I LOVE flames! Maybe, you could even write an article for the Mag on how it's done. I for one would really like to know how it's done, caz I haven't the slightest idea on where to start. And I've NEVER seen an article on how it's done, or at least I don't remember seein one.( but then again, I ain't as sharp as I usedta be)

Wait, 45?????AND your talkin trash like a KID? You got a strange way of tryin to make freinds. I know I said I wouldn't answer any more , BUT, YOUR FUNNY! As for your quetion of what more do we want from you? ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING except to go back where ever it was you came from, BECAUSE an attitude/ego like yours isn't needed here!......Or ANYWHERE for that matter! Glad I won't be seein ya around!!!Your a 45 year old child.

They're ok, but with an ego like you got, why you even need anyone else? No, I DON'T wish I could build like you. I'm pretty happy with what I can do. This is whats so nice about this site, so many people, so many build styles, no ego's till you got here. I'm not sorry for you, BECAUSE your funny, and you can keep yourself amused, But you shouldn't waste peoples time with your"I'm the best" attitude, BECAUSE it's juvenile AND PATHETIC! Besides, I now can see that your not as good as you think.Thanks for the pics, and this is the LAST you'll ever hear from me, I'm to old to be bothered by egoed out kids.Enjoy the site, the guys here are pretty cool, and MUCH better than you.

Well, yeah, you did post a pic. NOW, do yourself a favor an go look in the under "Under Glass" Section an look for some of the names I mentioned. Look for a new guy by the name of Juergen. I only mention him caz he's pretty new too, and he builds some pretty nice models. I can see now that you WERE only jokin, caz you CAN'T TOUCH any of the other guys I mentioned. As a matter of fact, you can't beat Juergen either! Oh Well, It was a good joke. Keep tryin though, and eventually, you'll get there!.........someday.

Nick, you hit it onna head! Glad to know ya, AND YOU Mr GGOMEZ NO ONE on this board brags about their work, IF your THAT good, post some pics! Let's see how you, or IF you can even come CLOSE to MR.BIGGS, or Treehugger Dave or Raul Perez, or Geezzer, or Gramps,or Rad Rides By Dave, or........ You get the picture? To be a new guy a start braggin on yourself like that, you'd better back it up, cause the BEST modelers on the PLANET are your competition! You ever win any thing? Caz the guys here who haven't , DIDN'T enter. I hope the rest of the guys see your little remark as a JOKE, which it is. I can't beleive you came out like that, talkin TRASH before you even get to know us. I know how to fix that though, just hit the delete button! Guy's Sorry to go off, but this guy ain't showin ANY kinda class!!!!!
