Very well done! I particularly like the gradation paint job. I have a project I'm planning that is going to require a completely scratch built tube chassis. I'm still trying to figure out what is the best way to do it. I'm thinking of using solder in different thickness diameters.

[Dragline]

Marlowe, solder will of course work but I think Plastruct is the answer for a tube chassis.

If you have a decent HS near you they should have a rack. Solder will end up weighing a ton.

Thanks for the advice. I looked it up on the Internet and yes, now I remember seeing it at my local hobby shop! I'll check it out. It looks like it might be my solution.

John,

Another fantastic home run build! Nice model Vette F/C!

But I have noticed a pattern with your pics.... rarely a photo of the front! This time you did catch the car's nose, with the body up. Yet, many pics from rear corner, or the side. We hope to see the front of these builds too!

Jon........these are recent post that I can remember?.......if I missed a build that you wanted to see the front of .......let me know.......I really don`t care for front shots......but if you want to see them......Cool.........thank`s

VERY cool, as usual, John. Don't think I've ever seen a F/C with a white chassis before. And congrats on the portfolio in the new issue of the "other" mag!

Dang! They beat me to the punch. I actually have a feature on John already in the can... just waiting for the room to squeeze it into an upcoming issue. I'll have to check out what "they" did and out-do them.

Thanks for your patience John... the wait will be worth it!
