  1. Here's what I'm working on now.... I'm going to try back-dating this kit to build a custom that may have been done back in the day. I'll be using the stock front suspension, which necessitated using the Sedan chassis, since it has the cross member that is missing from the Coupe's frame. Also using the awesome louvered hood from the Sedan......... I'll be mounting the brakes to the frame instead of the firewall...... the wheels and tires are from the Moebius '56 300B Let me know what you think!
  2. Hey, Guys...... I'm just wondering what would be the best method for making flush mount skirts? They will be going on a '37 Ford Coupe. Thanks in advance!
  3. So, what does it make you if you "drink the Kool-Aid".......... like I so often do? I talk to a shrink, He's a pretty smart guy and has been in the practice for years..... worked with all walks of Life from the destitute to the celebrity. He never asks "that" question.... mostly just carries on a conversation. He probably gets more info with friendly banter than being a Psychiatrist..........
  4. At least we have a beautiful full Moon this evening...... At the end of last year I had some things interfere with my modeling budget, that's all taken care of now, this year should be smooth sailing...........
  5. You could scrub them with Comet and a tooth brush...... I've done this to paint finishes to dull them.
  6. Why not get a can of this? It should last like 50 life times!
  7. Thanks, fellas! Carl, you're a real night owl, huh?
  8. Thanks a bunch, Guys! and I hope everyone is having a splendid Holiday......... Thank you.... I put a lot of work into that one! It's suppose to be a close representation of this, my Dad's car........
  9. Bomb-style cars are cool! I really like the artillery wheels....... Do you make those?
  10. Three Cars to show, and a figure...... the Horseman being my first large scale figure...... I had a pretty good year, I think....
  11. I think he means his doggy pal! who would be 14 years old........ That's pretty awesome, he's well taken care of!
  12. I really, Really want this Thunderbird I found here in the big NC, not too far from me. It has less than 13,000 miles on it, it's a 30th Anniversary edition..... Here's the underside of it........ They only want 10K for it........... anyone feeling generous?
  13. These are Great! Especially like the VW drawing...... last time I worked with India Ink, I made a mess of it! Very Clean........
  14. Thank you, Mr. Fischer! I've done some more work on it, tell me what you think and where I can improve.......
  15. There are some more modern cartoons that I enjoy watching that make a lot of allusions to people and events.... In Ed, Edd and Eddy, Eddy calls Ed 'Charlie "Bird-Brain" Parker' once when he's trying to play the trumpet. Chowder is notorious for breaking the "forth wall", which is lost on a lot of folks...... and FlapJack is just brilliant all around!
  16. Hey, Jim.... I've never heard of this. Is there a way to donate wreaths? I would like to participate now that I know about it.......
  17. Simple line drawing of a pickup I found in a magazine.... All I have to finish it with are color pencils, not sure on that tho.... Any suggestions? and thanks for looking!
  18. That was very interesting, and enlightening.......... I asked my nurse once about a procedure someone was having, and what all it involved. He just Googled it, saying "It's kinda nice, you don't really have to learn some things... you can just look it up......."
  19. I like ALL Thunderbirds! Would love to see a kit of one from the early '80s, so I could build something along these lines......
  20. You've got some cool kits there! Good Luck.......... I think my resolution will be to stop taking parts from finished builds to use on new builds......
  21. Nah, the Roach Coach is only in her 40's.........
  22. I would LOVE to have a modern tool Coyote X..........
