When I win the Lotto and open the National Model Car museum, you and John Teresi are going to cost me a small fortune. Wow, my mind fills with positive expletives and accolades when I admire this build from tire to tire.

Dirk... This is one sweet build. Man you do some outstanding work. I loved seeing the build up in the Drag Section. I am sure looking forward to your next drag build or whatever you decide to build. I would love to see this in person. Very Impressive Build!!!

Can't find the words to express how impressive and well done that is. Incredible is a start, but not nearly enough. Wow, just wow!

A beautiful piece of work - I really admire modelling skills such as this , we all try to reach this level in modelling but very few of us do - and I am not one of them. Excellent build.

Pure art Dirk, museum worthy.

Hi,

An amazing build!! A level of workmanship most of us can only dream of - it would be great to see the model in person but that won't happen unfortunately.

I sometimes go to the drags - I'm mainly into the cars but seeing the top fuel bikes roaring down the track often carrying the front wheel a long way and topping 220mph is very impressive!

I'll have to have a look though the build thread over on the drag racing section - I'm sure there'll be lots to learn.

Cheers,

Jim

Wow! Thanks for the kind words, Gents! Being recognized by my peers means more to me than any trophy.
