Steve, Grrrr Brilliant. It's great to view a series of models with a theme (one off/only one), I would love to see all these compiled into a book.

When you take the plunge into rendering, I'm retiring.

John

Thanks, John

Got a bunch of them to post yet. Just need to find the time.

Don't worry about me taking the rendering plunge, it just ain't gonna happen. Ever. (and even if it did happen, nothing I could do could come close to your work)

Excellent And what a tragedy!

Thanks, and yes, it was a really tragic way to go. What was he thinking, "hey, we're all out here with guns looking for something to kill, I'll hide and see if I can trick them into thinking I'm something they would like to shoot"

Wow

Mate, these are so good. Absolutely love what you do. Every time I see them I'm inspired.

I know zero about cars but really enjoy reading your write ups, too.

Just a quick question, do you model 'from eye' or do you have plans to work from?

Mike Lucey

Great modeling and great read, thanks

Mike Amos

Fantastic model well up to your usual standards.

I very rarely find useable plans or blueprints to work from. And when I think I have found one it usually turns out that they are not all that accurate. I really prefer to work by just eyeballing everything.

I appreciate the kind words, Mike. I tried to keep the narrative short, I sometimes get carried away with my enthusiasm and it turns into a novella

Many thanks, Mike.

Very nicely done. I guess I ought to try that kind of modeling some day. Of course if I were modeling it. . it would called la "Jamais Capable" or La "Jamais Fonctionelle"

Tres Bien Fait Monsieur.

Ummm...I didn't understand a lot of that, but, yes, please do give it a try. We need more vehicle modelers here!!!!!

I'm so lonely

Translation. . .the Never Capable or the Never Works. I still struggle with getting window holes punched in walls.

Well done, Monsieur. That's french for Senor!

Beautiful! Well done! The undercarriage detail is incredible.
