Nice! I'll be looking forward to seeing you work your magic on this one. Cheers and stay warm, Bill

That came out great! I'm more of a Camero guy, but that 68-69 notch back design is still my favorite. I guess the designers at GM and Dodge agree, because all the new stuff is strictly reto. OK by me! Build on! Cheers, Bill

Wild '41 Willy's Cab Over Kit-Bash I remember that surf buggy/garbage truck from my youth. :laugh: I never built it back then, but I remember seeing it at "Hobby hut". :facepalm Those model molds must be near 50 years old. :oldguy That build will be a blast, Daddy-o! :soldier :soldier...

Tamiya Hanomag Sdkfz251 - scratches. Thanks Mike! Parts of it I like, some of it looks over-done. It's all a grand experiment and learning process. Thanks for commenting. :thumbsup Add/edit: The tracks were sprayed with a soup of tamiya acrylics consisting of flat black, brown (X-9), and a...

James!, Regarding the ribbon: I think there might be a case for "Sub-contracting due to special circumstances" clause some where. I'm having the legal department checking on that. (Opps, sorry Bob, that was your line... damn script/reading glasses!) Looks Great! I hope all is well. Fingers...
