Hey, fellas! I had a quick question...... I've discovered this magazine called 'Werke' which is, naturally, all about BMWs. I'm wanting to get a subscription, but they've already put out the first two and I don't want to miss out on those. Where online could I maybe order copies of this mag? It's a quarterly, and like I said, the first issues are out already. My computer doesn't work well with their site for some reason, or I would just order from them........ I hope you guys can help....

Never mind...........

I like your build style...... Very clean! I especially like your Thunderbird duo.......

Here's some more progress for you guys........ Made a sunken license plate area and I've attached the trunk lid. I'll do some putty work around the lid...... Also put some Tamiya dull red on the interior parts.

Which kit is that from? Someone on the board might have the grille from it.........

We as kids used to feed the Garden spiders that we always had during the summer/fall........ We would throw them grasshoppers just to watch them silk 'em up!

I ran across that site (owlcation.com) just today looking for info on my spidey friend here....... Looks like a clean wholesome Science site that isn't over most folks' head.

Carl, my man....... Looking around online, I found what I have here! It's a type of Banana Spider called a Golden Silk Orbweaver....... https://owlcation.com/stem/Facts-about-Banana-Spiders-Golden-Orb-Spiders Pretty harmless, but they Will bite you!

You mean, she doesn't give you guys the warm fuzzies? Her thorax even looks like a skull! I live near a wooded area, so I get all kinds of critters in the yard......

Hey, guys! I just thought you would enjoy some pics of this spider that has her web right by my back door....... She's been there a good month or so. Yesterday she molted, that's the shell in the pics with her. Must be painful and traumatic to molt, as it seemed to take a lot out of her. The small spider in the second pic is most likely a male.....

Queens of the Stone Age! It's hard to believe that Soundgarden haven't made it in yet....... Are Stone Temple Pilots in? I doubt it..........

Definitely Sonic Youth.... Definitely Tool! Maybe PJ Harvey?

Thank you Zippi! I did tone down the weathering some, kinda redid it....... Also, the suspensions are in place!

Thank you, fellas! This morning I put a little rust colored wash on the exhaust and tried weathering the pan some......

Did something today that I haven't done in a long time.......... Brush painted a molded-in exhaust system! Tomorrow I can weather this some and maybe get the suspension painted......

Home is where you stuff your face....

Well, it CAN be built! and Very well, too....... That looks real good!

Just making some progress on the engine......... Thanks for following this, Guys! Let's just hope this build doesn't get held up like so many of my others.....

If you wanted to show what you have going on with your kit here in this thread, you're more than welcome to......

Wookie Yonder! sounds like something the folks here would say.....

Snake, did you choose the cake flavor? I always ask for a pineapple-upside down cake every year........

Yea, they're pretty much the same...... I had painted some on those, though, and the chrome on these is so much nicer....... I've had the tires so long that the inserts are getting brittle!

Thank you, Guys...... I do indeed have a color chosen, though I may have to get the auto parts store to order it....... I'm looking at 'Pacific Green' from DupliColor.

Hey, Guys! I'm kinda making some headway with this one....... It's the 'Car Show' release of the '36 Ford. You can build it as a coupe or convertible. After a few thought processes ( LoL ) I decided to go with the coupe variant....... Just getting a quick mock up going! The wheels are from the AMT '56 Fairlane and the tires are '56 T-Bird parts. I can already tell that this one will need a bunch of massaging to get the main body parts to work better together...... Anyway, here's to another project!

Sixties muscle cars came about through a lot of one-up-manship between companies.......
