noice!!! what color is the Z, i love that blue...

we need a popcorn smiley!!! lol this is better than TV!! lol maybe he's toooo bizzy making post's to model....lol

and, don't forget about the Coach bodied modifieds!! in progress, well, a year or so ago!!

or, i've seen a couple clubs have 'Masters' class's for the "Big Boys" and just the regular classes for me and you!!

i agree with Pete... i'm not thin skinned, if it's a P O S, it's a P O S!!! and then i show them the difference and hopefully they take it to heart and try harder on the next one... the same guy i was talking about in my above post actually brought the SAME car back the next year and, yep, same questions, 'cept this time he brought his Granny!!! lol

yeah, the 'shapes' of those cars was really close, but they WERE different... 32 Chev vs 32 Ford...etc... oh, thanks for the kind words...

lol...whut??

yep!!! the ww piecrust slicks are da bomb!!

Mark... at one of our Challenges, i had a guy come up to me after a contest to inquire why a model of the same car placed higher than his [it won the class]...i asked if he REALLY wanted to know, he said yes... well, the class winner was a couple cars away from his.. they were both the same kit, so, i/we started to compare the two...the topsides were pretty even, but, when you turned the model over to see the chassis and detail, the winner was hands down a better model..no seams, everything in it place, he agreed... then, onto the interior, not even close!! the winner had WAY more interior detail, he agreed... then we looked at the motor, again, no contest, not even close!! he agreed, then after all of that, he STILL asked why he didn't even place....i just told him to try harder the next time!!

they all have a long deck... i shortened it to make it look right... also replaced the interior 'tin' with some 10 or 15thou plastic sheet... that lets the body sit lowwer, and to me, looks better... here's my 'Ford'

Ron...why can't a member of the host club get some 'gold'?? i thought the idea was that the BEST on the table/class would win, no matter WHO builds it!! would it be right if a lesser model would win over a better model just because the dude is a member??? i know a lot of people that only compete locally, why deprive them of the chance?? as for me, i know i'll never get a best of anything, but, i still build, i don't consider myself a slouch, but, i'm not a Bill Geary or a Ray Patrick!! i'm the 'fill', mid pack... that's not to say i don't get some gold now and then, but, i know my limitations and accept that!!! as for judging, well, that's another story... '10 year old, perfect paint, no smudges, etc...' i call BS!! to prove a point, i asked this kid what kind of paint he used, no answer, he didn't know because his DAD built it!!! i'll give them the benefit of doubt, but, they should know what kind of paint they used if they indeed painted it!!

that's a nice HotRod!!! did ya make the headers?? whose cheater slicks?? RMoM

call Norm Veber at Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland...410-768-3648 ask for Norm

i was 'jellyroll'... and, i had a 4 track in my '66 AH Sprite!!! [my 2nd car..] running thru Indian Hill with Jimi Hendrix blairing, ahhhh, the memories...

nice job T...

here's some things i use when i paint.... paint sticks with masking tape wrapped back on itself... basic 2x4 and coat hangers... some small, cheap pocket screwdrivers...tip wrapped with tape like the paint sticks...some cheap tweezers and an old needle nose pliers... Pringle's lids for glue, and TOOTHPICKS for anything!!! caps from bottled water make excellent 'mix cups'...

saw 3 of Plymouth's today at a contest/swap...$12-$20...sealed...no Vegas tho'... the 36 Plymouth was the 1st one that i did, around the time that Drew H was doing one in SA-e, anyway, not to thread jack, but here's mine... not done with the Vega yet, narrowed the body 1/4" for this asphalt car...
