57peppershaker Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Very nice Rob. Like the figures too, where are they from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 like i wrote in the WIP-Thread: Can't belive, that this is a only "3-Day-built" - it looks so perfect! Clean and shiny. @Steve, the figures are "hoppin hydros" if i remember right. Scale 1/25 and just perfect for show. I like them from time to time to present a modelcar. Also there are a set of drivers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Sumner Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 "Impressive" doesn't begin to say it for me. How about "FLIPPIN' AWESOME"? Yeah I agree... But Darth Vader never said "Flippin Awesome." So I had to go with "Impressive." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
