    29 roadster

    Great colors on a beautiful roadster ! Looks like you managed the windshield issue just fine .
  6. One is more than enough especially when it's a beautiful GS like that one , great job Gene !
  7. Steps 3 , 4 , and 5 finished this morning . About three hours total but I took a couple of breaks , once to crawl around on the floor looking for a part that tried to escape . . . I found it ! Step #3 Step #4 Step #5
  8. They're small but I wear my reading glasses and use the magnifying lamp on my bench so it is possible . Yep , quite a few of the new ones have colors printed on them . Yes they are photo-etch but seem to be a softer metal than what we're used to , at least they seem to bend much easier .

    2021 builds

    Great stuff John and some really cool paint work too ! How did you ever build so many in one year !?!?
  12. Growing up an Air Force brat we spent several years during the 60's stationed at Vandenberg AFB and back then launches of Atlas , Minuteman , and Titan II missiles were almost a weekly occurrence . I can remember the elementary school classrooms would run outside every time to watch ! Between that and living in central Florida since the early 70's and watching launches at the Cape I'd say I've always been hooked . I've built a couple simple Metal Earth planes before and decided it was time for something a little more difficult so I bought myself this Shuttle kit and the Lunar Module kit . The Shuttle kit looked to be the easiest of the two . Steps #1 and #2 consisted of two main pieces and four smaller pieces . Easy enough so I got started early this morning . . . one and a half hours later I was done and decided that was enough for one day . Not sure how many pieces are in the kit but at this rate I should be finished in two or three weeks ! I realized that I forgot to take some photos of the P.E. sheets before I started so here they are missing a few pieces . And here's a link to a 3D rendering of the finished kit . https://www.metalearth.com/360/icx227 Stay tuned for updates .
  13. What a great year , congrats ! I always like seeing some Roth stuff built and yours are top notch , of course so are the rest of your builds .
  14. You definitely have a nice variety of subjects , they all look great !

    30 model A #2

    Really nicely done and cleanly detailed ! Great colors too !
  16. Great looking builds ! Really like the Silver Ghost and the GT40 is excellent !
  17. Excellent stock car ! Hope to see more from you in 2022 !
  18. Great collection ! Don't see too many 2000GT's , nicely done !
  19. Finishing up eight projects in three months is pretty darned good , congrats on a great year ! I'm not a big fan of the aftermarket wheels but they all look still look great !
  20. Great year and beautiful builds as usual Roger ! The Chevy wagon and Impala convertible are my favorites .
  21. That looks pretty darned good for being Chrome stuff , gives us all a little hope ! I've practiced on an old body and ran into the same issues you describe but haven't gotten results as good as yours yet . I do agree that it takes much more pressure to cut cleanly and eliminate the tearing issue , which in turn dulls the blade very quickly . If that's what it takes I'll just stock up on blades and give it a try on my next project .
  22. Cool color ! Great looking wagon Jim !
  23. Great set of Mustangs ! The Metallic Green '70 (?) looks really nice , what paint is it ?
  24. The Spirit Of St Louis and the tanks all look fantastic , very nicely done !
  25. I don't see anything to nit-pick about on these two , beautiful work Wayne !
