Rusty Sierra Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I've heard of guys taking up a hobby while they're on the road but never building models... really enjoying these builds man. This one turned out great.
rmvw guy Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Hope you didn't build this while you were actually driving. I always thought you guys were just sleeping when you're not driving and on the road. Did you paint it at a rest park? This is amazing to me! Nice job on the model, by the way.
Christopher J Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Nice build. Did you say 39 years?? Wow, you've been hard at it. I'm just a pup compaired to the time you've put in. I actually just recently quit driving to be home with the kids to watch them grow. (Company offered a spot in the office) Are those Fujimi wheels on there I spy? I like the color combos you went with, they really compliment each other and the engine detail came out nice.
Rob McKee Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Nice job Gary. I used to build models when I travelled to install computer systems. It was a great way to pass down time with nothing to do and kept me out of trouble. Then with all of the restrictions put in place for air travel I could no longer bring paint and tools on the road.

Christopher J Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Gary from one gear grinder to another I can understand how disheartening it must feel when health removes you from your passion. Best wishes on speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing more of your work.
