Here is my current thing.  Many of you that have read my posts have read my reference to my buddy that has me build things for him or repair diecasts for him.  Todd.   Well, Todd would have me do these builds for him and in return, he'd send me Franklin or Danbury Mint diecasts for my collection.  or he'd buy model kits that I wanted to build.  Or he'd give me cash to buy supplies.   We were pretty good buddies.  He was supposed to come up this weekend to pick up like 9 builds I have done for him since last time I saw him in person.   We emailed and texted frequently.   His wife texted me Sunday that he died.  So that hit me pretty hard as we had just emailed Friday.   He had already asked that if something happened to him, that I help his wife sell off his collection.  We'll do that sometime.   

This is the last thing I started before he died.   I'll finish this one in his honor and figure out what to do with the the rest.  You sure don;t see many of these built up.

But, here is the car.  This thing almost falls together.  No challenges yet.  Krylon Regal blue - Todd didn't like bright colors and this was close to the dark blue in photos.  I may try some Future/Pledge on this one for gloss.  I've never used it before - don't even own any yet.

Sorry to hear about your friend Todd. I'm sure he would appriciate you building this in his honour.
