Looks pretty good.

Another masterpiece in the making ! Looking forward to watching this.

Well done ! Looks real.

Nice car, great job .

They did great !

They all look great .

That is a little lame the way the molded the dash. I am looking forward to how you handle the building of that chain. That can not be an easy task.

Very nice , I like the color.

Looks like your making some good headway.

Navy Pier that Harry mentioned is a cool place to go.

I always liked PT Cruisers but nobody I know does. Bill I remember the saga you posted about working on one that I believe was a friends. Two grand for a timing belt ? Ouch !

I like to build something different once in awhile and while spending some time on ebay I came across this kit. It's different and never built anything quite like it so.......... I ordered it. It's a kit by Aoshima. It is 1/350 scale model of Thunderbird 1 and the launch bay. Looks pretty simple. Lots of detail is molded into the walls and I would have rather have more pieces because it would be easier to paint. There will be lots of detail painting to do. Box photo shows office with glass windows and interior but not so with the kit. They are molded into the wall and instructions call for just painting the windows black. There are other differences from the box art but a photo on the side shows the actual model. I guess the box cover shows a photo from the movie.

One of these kits on ebay now. Going for about 300 last time I looked.

Yours looks very nice. I am partly color blind and have always leaned towards brighter colors.

Add me to that !

Thanks guys. As far as the design goes.......... I don't care much for it but I got it pretty cheap and it was something different to build. I prefer a chopper or bobber.

Wow ! That is nice !

Thank you much Bob.

Kind of a VW.

Thanks guys and no, no engine detail to speak of.

Came out great !

I was finally able to get this thing to stay together. : ) It was a chore. Built straight from the box. I had a tough time with the pewter parts but it's done.

That car looks huge ! The chain links would stop me dead in my tracks ! : )

Paint looks great !

Sad way to run a business. Thanks for sharing your story. I am pushing 5 months ( I believe ) on my tires I ordered . Much longer ( if ever ) and I may forget why I ordered them. : )
