For George & Crap'n

[Guest Gramps-xrds]

I did a little more cleaning and look what I found.

The 1st is a chopped lowered merc w/ a big a$ hemi stuck in it. I hand striped it and made my own spun aluminum caps

This was also hand striped w/ spun caps and I painted the flames on and striped around them.

Nice, Bill. Can you still hand stripe like that? I had my 'spicions that you did the striping on that 56Fairylane you cleaned up for Srodder, by hand. I gotsta quit spendin so much time on this here computer, bustin' yer stones and goin' ga-ga over all the cool rides I see everbody makin' and get to my own. Started the 51 Fleetliner awhile back and got it bout ready for paint. Been wanting to do a rat, with the primer and wasn't sure bout any flames or stuff, but since I seen your striping, I may just do dat. Very nice flames on the second Merc, specially the smooth blending of the different colors. Thanx fer cleanin yer rodz up for us, buddy Pray that I get my butt back at the workbench so's I can post some pix instead of just comments and boo hoos Later, be groovy an @. ######'n

######'n if you want to try some stripen, What I used was a small piece of a rooster hackle feather near the base. It was the only thing I could find small enough that would carry paint.

It'll drive you nuts.

Holy sh8t Bill,Your usin CHICKEN FEATHERS to paint??? Now I've heard EVERYTHING!!!. Just goes to show how talent comes in so many different forms! I'm glad you can goof around with me an the ######'n, That's one of the reasons I love it here, every one is so cool an easy to get along with,especially you! I'm glad Ive come to know you Bill,Your a VERY talented modeler!

Goerge, I consider you and ######'n as my best friends on here just because we goof around. My thoughts are "If you can't have fun w/ ppl then there's something wrong"

Uptight ppl only make things worse for themselves and those around them.

I was serious when I said I wished we lived closer. I'm certain, we could have a ton of fun.

I don't know how talented a modeler I am, I just THINK kinda funny.

DON"T YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK ON IN THE BASEMENT !

[george 53]

YES BILL, I'M GOIN TO TAKE CARE OF IT NOW! Yeesh now I got you an the wife runnin me off!! Oh well, I got stuff in the basement to do!!

Hey George, I was just thinking, (that's an effort for me ) when you get ready to rebuild your dio, what new stuff are you going to add ? If there's going to be an old junky building, I just might be able to make you one. You know I'm pretty good at makin junky stuff . Let me know what you're looking for and I'll sketch something up for your approval. (that is if you're interested)

The only prob I see is making it in pieces for shipping. I'm sure if I marked it in big letters you could figure out that A goes to A and B goes to B. OR you could get the wife to come down and explain it to you.

When I'm not babysitting my little grandson I got 5 or 10 min free

Well George not being from there I have no idea what they looked like. ( DUH ) If you can find a pic of something close I can wing it. I make mine from Cresant poster board. It's about a 1/16th of an in.thick w/ balsa or bass wood trim, then paint the detail on w/ artist acrylics. There's really no interior but I guess you could make some. See what you can come up w/

Anything's post worthy here. We're not critics or judges. Just model builders who enjoy building.

[george 53]

WoW,unlike some other forums.I just left one and it's left ME in shock! I don't think many of us know just how good we've got it here.And I thought I'd already seen some sh8t! You never stop learnin eh?
