The reason I wanted him to include a coin in the shots is so people could see just how small that cockpit is, yet so amazingly detailed! I know how big (or small, depending on your viewpoint) the kit is... but I think many others really had no idea just how tiny yet detailed that cockpit is.

Take a Ken doll or a GI Joe or something similar... cut off the doll's head and neck right across the tops of the shoulders, and arms about midway between the elbow and wrist. Paint the top of the cut off area flat black. Dress the doll in shoes, pants and a coat (probably would need to use Ken doll clothes)... turn up the coat collar for that "mysterious" look. Glue a length of thin, stiff wire (piano wire would work great) to the doll, paint it flat black... attach the sunglasses at the end of one of the earpieces and attach the hat. Yeah, you would see the flat black wire... but it could be very thin if you use stiff wire like piano wire. The effect would be pretty cool.

The black part is decal???? Why didn't you just mask off the yellow and use paint to do the black part?

A nice selection of models there! Welcome to the asylum...

Not exactly the kind of thing you'd want to build an ad campaign around...

I'll let it go on a while longer to see if I get a definitive opinion. If it's a toss-up I'll just leave things as they are.

Which county?

Pretty clear? It's basically even between the two main choices! I thought I'd get a definitive opinion one way or the other, in fact it looks too close to call. I'll leave the poll up a while longer and see if any trend emerges.

Some avatars are sort of self-explanatory...

The thanks go to you, Manny. I can't create any layouts without material!

Now that's cool!

Oops. I left you off the list. Let me set the record straight: SKIP JORDAN GOT IT RIGHT!

Sorry, I get you two mixed up. You look so much alike!

In case anyone missed my previous post, if you want an avatar but haven't been able to figure out how to do it, or it just hasn't worked for you, PM me and attach the image you want to use and I'll take care of it.

Yep. You're that white silhouette on the black background!

None, really. It's just a way to personalize your posts.

The car in the picture is a Velorex. Exact model year and model name are sort of iffy... the car was built from the 50s to 1970, and was called various names along the way... Oskar, Velorex Oskar, Velorex 16/250, Velorex 16/350. Mechanical changes were made along the way, but on the outside they all looked pretty much alike... so if you guessed any of the above, you get credit!

If anyone wants to add an avatar but doesn't know how, can't get it to work, etc... PM me and attach the photo you want to use as your avatar and I'll take care of it for you.

Ditto to what Casey said. Lock.

Hassle? It takes about 12 seconds to add one.

No rulers in any photo. In fact I suggested he add it, so everyone could get a sense of scale. But he went with the giant mutant quarter instead...

I'm just curious why some of you guys don't use an avatar. Not that it's a big deal. Like I said, I'm just curious.

There are actually quite a few shades of white, from the almost bluish "pure" white to pale creams and yellowish ivories. If you're trying to do a replica stock, and you want to be accurate, it pays to do some research. It all depends on how accurate you want to be.
