Virgil- you took astounding and made it even moreso. This is without question about as real as it can get.

I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you for choosing to share your incredible capacities for creativity with us.

Excellent, and remember that once you get the hang of it, you'll not be able to stop! Also, show us how they turn out, please.

Next trip to the LHS will be for supplies, and I will show you how they turned out!! Thanks!!

Oh, and Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year...travel safe!!

I was at the LHS today, picked up the Oct MCM, and suplies for jackstands...I got 4 down on the bench, 3 need some filing, and 2 need guitar string pins bent...I'll take pics tomorrow...

EDIT: Here's a picture of the 4 unpainted stands, which took me about an hour all together to get to here:

1 set done, and 2 more have paint drying!

And they work!

More on the way!

You were right, Virgil! Once I started, it was so much fun, I kept going!! I can see making some variations for other stands and such, like transmission supports, and the like!

Here they are outside the shop

Thanks, Virgil!

Tony, you did a great job, buddy. Bravo. Those look great and there's nothing like a body in progress up on those. Congrats.

[Tony T]

Thanks, Virgil...I couldn't have done it without ya!

What happened to this dio. Doc?Haven't seen you use it for photos yet? It is one awesome building.

[Jantrix]

Yeah, what he said!

[rmvw guy]

Beautiful!....In an industrial way, can't wait to see the damage you do to it.

[rmvw guy]

I loved it since day one. Wow! What a series of photos! Excellent!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks for bringing this one back. It's all set up and I use it for photographing models whenever I can. It's here, and I still play around with it.

I just have to wait for Derrick to finish his Zombie figures so that I can do a few more scenes!

Ah, here's a glimpse of Cranky's humble beginnings . . . back when the Lab-Rat-Ory was in a rural, undisclosed location!

Is that the Atlantic Ocean in the background Dr.? Nice view if it is!

Absolutely stunning work here, you have the makings of your next book or DVD going on here.

EDIT: I just found this post and realized it was from last year! Dr. Cranky, this is one amazing dio!

Thanks, Mike. No, that's just a blue backdrop. I was having fun taking pictures of the HO scale mini diorama I built. It was loads of fun.

Bravo

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Eric. When I did it about two years ago, I was having the time of my life building it. It went up pretty quick.
