  1. I understand completely how you feel Ray , as I've felt the same way for more than a year now . Can't really point to one thing that has caused it but many of the same things you have mentioned have slowed my building down to almost nothing . I still like looking and I still buy kits , but when it comes time to sit down and build something the passion just isn't there anymore . Very hard to explain to somebody who hasn't been there . Good luck to you . . . see you around !
  2. Insert a #11 blade between the sticker and the paper , then slide the blade around the circumference to release it from the paper . With the sticker still attached to the tip of the blade center it over your tire and very lightly press it in one spot only , being careful not to distort the shape . If it's not centered you can carefully lift the sticker back off of the tire and try again . Removing the sticker is not quite as easy as it sounds so hopefully you won't have to do it more than once .When it looks good press the entire sticker down and it's permanent .
  3. Nice one Bernard , I really like the look of the L'il Red Roadster !
  4. Well done SFD ! It has the look we all wanted back in the day , I love it ! I'm sure Harry is smiling that you remembered the mirror .
  5. Holy Moly ! Fantastic work !
  6. There's no overspray on the tires ! Neat idea , good luck !
  7. Great save Snake ! I butchered this kit as a kid and have always wanted to get another one but they're a bit pricey . Would be cool to find a gluebomb and try a restoration like you have done !
  8. That turned out great JC , definitely my favorite of all your Cobra builds so far ! Beautiful work !
  9. Thanks very much ! I forgot to make a tail for RF , have to add that add take some more pics .
  10. Thanks ! Thanks ! It actually was Dull-Coted at first then I sprayed some gloss on it . . . not sure which looks better .
  11. Nice nice nice ! Beautiful work !
  12. Great looking R/T conversion Nick ! Everything looks just right , and you gotta love the wheels & tires from Joseph !
  13. That's really slick , excellent work !
  14. And the Kart chassis , never really finished it .
  15. Something a little different . . . built for a contest on another site . Everybody started with one of these small resin bodies and went crazy !
  16. Beautifully done Geoff ! Love that color and the trim work is excellent . . . and the headlight buckets are painted correctly !
  17. Very very cool ! Great work !
  18. That's impressive ! Great work !
  19. Beautiful build ! The paint and the wheels & tires really look great on this one !
  20. Very very nicely done and some great detailing , congrats !
  21. Great looking midget and team too ! Very nicely done .
  22. I've got a big smile on my face after seeing your builds ! Brings back memories of building these many many years ago . Thanks !
  23. Nicely done , and those decals look sharp ! Love the lightning bolts on the teardrop !
  24. I'm sure you are right that some jack the shipping prices to Canada , but it also isn't as cheap as you think . I have shipped to friends in Canada and a single part in a small padded envelope (about 5 ounces) costs me about $10 , and an average kit in a 10 x 7 x 5 box weighing less than 2 pounds costs me about 22 dollars . Both are double what it costs me in the U.S. , plus I can't do it on line . I have to take them to the Post Office to ship them , which may be a real hassle for some people . If you have a friend in the states you could always arrange for him to buy and ship parts for you . . . just an idea .
  25. Very cool ! Great scallops and the brushed roof looks perfect . Love the intakes in the hood !
