The "Baby Birds" are among my favorite cars! and custom anything is definitely cool. Hope you don't mind me following along..........

Hey, Scott.... I have the luxury of living about a mile from our small local airport, so I get to see Cessna type planes on a regular basis. Lear jets too....... About once a month, the Osprey aircraft use it for touch-n-go's....

Hey, friend! Thanks, and here's the colors I am using, just a couple Apple Barrel acrylics.... Got the gun covers and channels done on the other side.... Thanks for lookin' in!

blame the economy

Hey, friend....... It's not wood glue you want to use, but PVA glue, the white school glue. It's used a lot of times to attach small parts and clear parts. When it dries, it just peels off......

Who's this lady?

You got it, Snake.....

Anyone guess who this is?

I drew this from a 1.5" x 2" picture that I found in an old car magazine. The paper is 8.5" x 11". It's just Sharpie and colored pencil.......

Thank you Alan for the links....... I've actually seen the build on shipsofscale, but there's no way I could do such a fantastic job as it's builder. This won't be a replica of any certain ship, just a generic Pirate ship..... and Happy GrandPa'ness, BTW! If anyone has any ideas where to get rigging instructions, I'm all ears......

false warm feeling

I'm not sure I would put underdrive pulleys on it, man...... Don't they make the water pump turn slower? I had them on a 5.0 mustang, and it wanted to overheat if I was sitting in a drive-thru or something.....

Cruella De'Vil's car has a pretty prominent place in the 101 Dalmations movie.... It's called a Panther Deville, it's a neoclassic

and the Eldo(bent)rado's

Here's a link to some of the cars that he built...... they should appeal to you guys, mostly traditional stuff with a bit of a modern flair....... https://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/sam_foose_build_cars/

setter dog hair

Murphy drove an old '50s Dodge pickup in one movie, the name of it escapes me at the moment...... Sorry, Guys..... the movie was called "Metro", and the truck was a 58 Power Wagon, I believe. Can't find any pics of it, tho.......

Is that the same runoff that Nicholas Cage outruns the helicopter in in the "Gone in 60 Seconds" movie?

I'm really digging on this build, man....... I have a '61 Olds in my future plans, going with purple on it....

Any of you guys make turkey salad with your leftovers? Good stuff........ Tonite I'm having a pizza Hot Pocket and some tater tots...... Sounds healthy, huh?

Those are beautiful, Steve! The pickup has that candy glow to it...... I have some Krylon clear that should work fine over these paints. Thanks, Guys! BTW, what would be a good base to put under an orange? Maybe gold?

wasp spray stings!

Thanks, Bill..... It being a translucent paint means that it would need a base color, I imagine..... They make a very nice teal blue along with an orange that I would love to use on a project.

Hey, guys........ I was wondering if anyone has used the DupliColor MetalCast paints to spray a body? There's a couple colors that I may would be interested in if a good finish could be gotten with them..... If you have any pics, please share them...... Thanks!

Thanks, man..... and Thank you guys for following along! Gun covers and channels done on one side..... Happy Thanksgiving..........
