Plasticfanatic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 STUNNING AND MAGNIFICENT craftmanship,detail,model subject and final result, one of the all time best big scale model I have ever seen!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 As so many before me, I just can't find words to describe this build. I feel that there is no field that has been left out, to go wild on detailing. Only thing that comes to mind is : take my hat off (if I was wearing one) and make a deep bow. Incredible craftsmanship. Hope that I ever can obtain this level. Interceptor a.k.a. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksprotein Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thank you Dave. I am speakless, when i see your dragster. The most people say "made in germany is the best", that's wrong. Made in the USA is the best! I hope you start the next project in this time!!!! Greetings Karsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Dave you out did yourself with this build. It is Gorgeouls and the Detail is amazing. Many people have already said alot of what I would. You are another one of the master builders here in my opinion. I look forward to what you have in store for us next. I know it will be good.

eviltwincustoms Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 That is a really nice car... but I would rather see you do a Blown motor! I would like to see some other pics of this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djway3474 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Beautiful car. I really wish there was a source for tires and wheels and blowers in this scale for us meer mortals. I think everything else a modeler with average rescources can fabricate. I look forward to your next project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostreet Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Man can't wait to see this project when it starts, You best Buds with Doug kline? i had them do the rear and fuel tank for my stang. Great guy to deal with and their work is some of the best around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Dave I cant wait to see you tackle this one I know Mike Hill and have seen this beast make some 3 sec 1/8 mile passes a few times since he got it. If this is anything like the one you just finished I think I'll have to find some of my kids old baby bibs....I'm gonna need them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (pssst) Hey Dave, I know where you can get a half decent 1/12 version if you have trouble finding a 1/8 car to build. Man, I am sooooo tuned in for this next build. Can't wait ! And yes, that sure is one hellova car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djway3474 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I bet the NHRA museum would love to display some of your MOTOR ART WORK in their case with all the models All I can find for tires and wheels on the TDR site is tires with flames and no modern wheels plus you just can beat the look of metal Maybe someday I can find someone that does aluminum that would be the ticket I am really looking forward to the rest of this build it inspires me to watch all you high detail builders I am more of a body man but I am fascinated by your work.

Prostreet Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 After seeing your previous builds dave, I have no doubt you will be able to pull this off. Are you building the body or is TDR doing it?. I never met Jim at precision only Doug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Dave, it won't be a problem for you, I can feel something great about to happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Photos Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Dave you are the man love watching you as you build these great cars, (can not even call them models) more like mini versions of the real thing. You have helped me so much to try and bring my modeling to the next level. THANKS Mike Garland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 DAVE your work on those engine is TOP NOTCH, I was talking to MIke @ the race he put on @ Carolina Dragway, and he said that 833 cubes was a baby... lol... but that thing is flying and looks awesome. I took some pics of the car that day if you need any for reference when you get started just let me know be glad to share them with you, keep doing what you do pal...

eviltwincustoms Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 thanks a bunch guys. if anything i do inspires or gets you to try and work at a higher level......well, it don't get no better than that. i'm certainly glad to help. i am working with TDR to build this body. it's a lot of work and i appreciate all of TDR's efforts. if it all works out. you all will benefit from a really accurate '69 camaro pro mod body being available in multiple scales. joe, jim is the "zz top lookin' character. tyrone, i will probably take you up on you're offer. you can NEVER have too many reference photos. mike's 833 is at least a minimum of 30 cubes smaller than the big guns he's up against. to me, that says ALOT! If that is the case, I will be in for purchasing some of the different large scales and maybe even a Monster 1/8th to try and push myself that extra bit since I have never done anything over 1/10 scale.

eviltwincustoms Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 bart, welcome to the world of large scale. LOL... Thanks Dave! If you get a chance jump on over to the "Drag Racing Model" forum and take a peak at my 1/16" pro mod thread. I would love to get some of your "Big Scale" experienced feedback! One of the things I thrive on is things I should do differently to improve on my skills. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
