Mooneyzs Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Tim..... no idea how I missed your update on tuesday but those calipers are a work of art... holy smokes are those Bad A$$. I have to keep reminding myself that you are building this in 1/25th scale. You truly are one of the best. Nice work my friend.
GoatGuy Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Tim, my brain is fried staring at the updates. If I were to attempt what you do, my brain would dry up and dribble out my ears. LOVE your work.
Codi Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 Hi everyone, I don't want to offend anyone by not calling you out specifically but I do want to say thanks again for your interest and "moral support" on the build. The only thing I built this weekend were snow forts, snow men and a sore back........as many in the East found out. That was a big one for sure. Clint/Brad, what is this "flyfishing" you speak of? Should I stop building model cars and take it up instead? Ray, sorry, no pics of setups this time around.....pretty straightforward stuff to make the parts. Back to the bench come Monday. Cheers to each and everyone of you. Tim
ScrappyJ Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I've been off the forums for quite some time now, but wanted to take a quick peak in and see the progress on Tim's Henry J. I just want to echo everyone else's sentiments that this is just such and incredible build Tim! Outstanding job!
Codi Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Hey Scrappy J, haven't seen any posts for quite some time. Always enjoy your builds and threads. Anything in the pipeline hopefully? cheers
NYCharlie Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 This is just amazing!! And it's a 1/25 scale? Wow!!!!
comp1839 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 tim, i'm always excited to see what you do next. your abilities and dedication to correctness are extraordinary! can't wait for the brake assemblies to get attached to the struts.....and then the wheels. pure eye candy!!!!!!!
Codi Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Thank you both Charlie and Dave. Finally getting back to the bench today.....hoping for a productive week. cheers
gasser59 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 .....hoping for a productive week. cheers Us too.
matthijsgrit Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Wrong place??? I'm lost.... I was looking for the model car section, but this all looks way too real!!! On a more serious note: respect for what you are doing here. It seems like you put about as much time in producing parts as many/some of us do on a complete kit!! Great, great job!

On a more serious note: respect for what you are doing here. It seems like you put about as much time in producing parts as many/some of us do on a complete kit!! Great, great job!I think this sums up your workmanship perfectly.
Codi Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 THAT'S funny Matthijs and thanks for continuing to follow along Tony. Here's the first of the strut/brake assembly. I won't bore anyone but these were a pain to assemble. Stepping up to 1/16th on a future build is looking better and better..............Cheers, Tim
GTJUNIOR Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Incredible, as always Tim. If it weren't for the pencil tip, I would have sworn I was looking at the real thing.
Nytrozilla Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I'm available for adoption.If you don't mind moving to Vegas.
John Teresi Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Tim......just incredible work....WOW!!!!.....I`m speechless just INCREDIBLE man
Belugawrx Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 and Cheers yep that about covers it...to the bar
gasser59 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Where in the heck did you get that huge pencil?? You still haven't answered me. Also, your fingers don't look much different than mine. How come mine don't work like yours?Total amazement. "These were a pain to assemble?" Really? I'll bet they were. Doesn't seem humanly possible in 1/25th scale. Edited February 5, 2016 by gasser59
Mooneyzs Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Tim... I am truly blown away and Amazed at ever update on this build. I know how much work is going into this and its paying off. I know that these had to be pain and I can relate with some of the items I have done on the funny car. But I can't believe the detail you are doing in 1/25th scale, Its freaking amazing. I will be honest... I think you would love a 1/16th scale build. I think you have done a Kick Butt job on these from struts. it turned out amazing. I can't wait to see what you work on next... well after you finish the other strut
Davewilly Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Amazing Work Tim! and when you get to 1/16th scale is the engine going to work??? Thats the big question! All joking aside I cant wait to see this one completed, and then what museum will it be placed in.
Armornv Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Absolutely mind blowing work. Just plain wonderful. Well done sir!
