It will be interesting to see if they can pull it off.

I like it !

Ouch !

Cars could have come and gone during the time your away, no ?

Thank you.

Any thoughts on this car ? 3 wheels. 2 in front. Seats 2 people one behind the other. 3 cylinder ,water cooled, auto,air,stereo,84mpg. 6,800.00. Supposed to be out in 2015 or so they say. Don't know if this has been brought up before.

Years ago when I had a Corvette I was always worried that some jerk would nail my car with a door so I parked way out in the lot and just walked. Taking 2 spaces is just inviting a scratch from someones keys.

Thanks Richard. Sending it to my buddy on Wednesday, hope he gets a laugh out of it.

Nice. I really like the colors you used.

Saturday I saw the new Mr. Peanut truck/vehicle but not sure how to download a pic from my iphone.

A Christmas Story It's A Wonderful Life 12 Angry Men ( original one) The Day The Earth Stood Still (original one, remake sucked IMO ) Anyone ever notice that in The Day The Earth Stood Still where the machines had stopped and they were showing cars stopped and trains stopped that there is one section where you can see a boat moving in the background on the river ?

Thanks Bob. This one was fun but not sure it got me ready to start building hot and heavy again.

Very nicely done.

This is a dio I have been working on for a friend. Not quite done but mocked it up for these photos. Car is a Polar Lights pre painted 65 Dodge that just happened to be the color I needed. I did not do any extra detailing except for changing the black interior to blue. The base is a few pieces of wood some of which is covered in Celuclay. The road surface is cardboard. Base was painted and then the ditch was dry brushed and then some Magic Water was put in to form the ice pockets. Snow foam was used for extra texture. Snow material was glued to the rough texture of the land area. White paint was used as a base on the road surface and then "snow" was applied. Tire skid marks were made using the "detailer" and then some snow foam was applied to the road to add more snow texture. Some small bushes with snow were added as well a scratch built street sign that was hit by the car. You will notice that the passenger side tire is pointing in a different direction than the other front tire. Now the story. My best friend in our teen years took his dads 65 Dodge out when his folks were away. He went over to the next street and was doing burnouts. He lost control and went into a ditch knocking down a street sign in the process. He also broke the tie rod. Somehow he managed to get the car out of the ditch and limp it over to his house. Soon after his folks arrived home followed by the police. He was in deep do-do. I was not with him as he knew I would try and talk him out of doing this. He was 15 at the time and I was 16. That was many, many years ago and I had lost touch with him about 40-45 years ago. He found me about 4 months ago doing a search knowing I liked to build models. He in fact tracked me down on this forum and sent me a PM. You may remember the 66 Chevy I built for him awhile back. I am sending this to him as a surprise and hope it at least is close to what actually happened. Thanks for reading this long winded post.

Looks like your off to a great start.

Very nice work.

The Wooly Mammoth I believe ??????????

I don't use salt too often either for health reasons plus there is a lot of sodium in ketchup.

Love the Stude. Ya, what the heck is on the Camaro ?

Not enough jails for that. Heck, I might have to spend some time in one myself ! : )

That is so very cool !

Sweet !

If my key falls off my key chain is it loose ?

Hey ! I like what I like. Most people frown on my doing that but what the heck. : )

Thanks Jim. I always order medium well. Don't always get medium well but that's what I ask for. I shouldn't probably say this but I put ketchup on it, can't stand steak sauce. : )
