Nytrozilla Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 And there you go again. Blowing everybody's minds, just because you can.You DID count all of the rivets for accuracy I assume?
Codi Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Coming together nicely John. That's a great update but I'm curious, can you focus your eyes now after putting in all those rivets? Cheers
Mooneyzs Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Joe & Tim..... John is the modeling Houdini he can build anything.... turming nothing into something...
Art Laski Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Great update, John! I love your use of Charlie's Pro Tech parts. Looks killer.
