I would like to thank everyone here who posts photos and tips and tricks. I enjoy watching the progress of some of the fantastic builds that appear here as well as the modelers who are just starting out. I have been building kits on and off for just about 50 years. Although I have still not acheived some of the talent that some of you guys I do find them insprational. I spend more time here than I care to admit. I am very old school in most of my building and I am amazed what some of you can do. In my day of building there were no airbrushes, no quick setting glues, no aftermarket, no resin, no P.E. parts no Slixx decals, you get the idea. Imagine having to wire an engine with sewing thread pulled through beeswax to remove the fuzz. For customizing there was no dremel, I used a hot knife that I heated on the stove. The glue ? Oh the glue. There was Testors and I think Pactra ( maybe others ) that stuff was stringy and took forever to set. Does anyone remember Notox ? The glue that they made the kids buy because it was found that some youngsters would sniff glue. I believe that Notox really meant "No Stick". I think the hobby now is so much more advanced but talent is still needed to do the kind of jobs we see here on this forum. As I get older and the eyes are not as sharp as the once were I find it getting tougher to build the quality of model I would like to build. Still however I find it fun and relaxing and at 60 I am stiil building. I honestly enjoy spending time here and hope to for some time to come. Although new here I have been geting all the model magazines for years even going back to Model Car Science. I have built more models of all types than I can remember. Thanks again for sharing and I look forward to many more models to admire.

Those 2 look great. Very good job.

Nice Nova ya got there.

Car is looking great. Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad several years ago and he was the one that got me starting to build in the late 50's.

Coming along nicely.

I'm about 2/3 done with " Killing Lincoln". Very interesting book.

As fellow above states... Easy Off in the yellow can works great. Do not buy the blue can, it does not work.

I loves me some Cobras man. You could probably tell that by my screen name. No real or kit car one yet but when my daughter graduates from law school in a year in a half....... who knows. To feed my addiction to AC Cobras and also Daytonas I collect replica models and die cast and so on. My collection numbers over 600 as of now. In addition to plastic and diecast i also have some in white ware, crystal, wood, crayons, white metal in all different scales. I have been collecting since about 1992 but my collection really took off when I discovered ebay in 1999. I never knew there were so many Cobras out there. 600 + and I still don't have them all. Someday.......someday.

That has got to be a lot of fun.
