Excellent craftsmanship. The model really looks like the real thing, just amazing. The rubber hose with the clamps are a hit.

I just don't get tired of viewing the progress.

Hi Folks,

I attended my first model car show last week, the Desert Scale Classic. Awesome show and I had a great time. I had my 2 metal projects together on the projects table and thought they looked kinda cool together. Here are a couple of pics....

Outstanding. Terrific. Wonderful. Happy Day. Just what I needed. Another modeling diety to worship.

Doesn't all of that shrinking to work on it, then growing back to normal size for pictures take a toll on your body?

Way Too Impressive my friend.

Hahaha, at first I read "girly brakes"! They look fantastic. Once again, I'm seeing but can't really believe what I see. Magnificent technique!

Man I'll tell you, I get more awed every time I look at the progress on this build. This is awesome attention to detail and the construction is masterfully carried out. Keep this coming Randy.
