Hi all...
I'm not new to modeling...
Just new to the forum.
I've been in and out of this hobby since I was a young kid.
so... some of my projects on the block are:
(Sorry no pics yet)
1/12 Kustom Chopper - Aces Wild. - Undecided color scheme
1/25 Ford Courier Step Side - typical Ford red
1/25 Thunderbird '66 - Antique pale green body w/antique white rag top
1/25 F1 Indy Car (Dominoes, but, I won't use those colors) - Undecided color.
1/32 Batmobile
1/24 Batplane
1/3 Ford Visible Turbo Engine (Restore eBay find) - The previous owner must have been thrown a rod, which in turn shot the valve springs upward, and made the cam followers break.
So? break out the pin vise, drill a hole into the rod, and add a real screw to connect the two parts back together. I've already put small snap rings on top of the valve springs to assure they break the valves off instead of ripping off the cam followers.
The motor needs rewired (I think this is the root cause of the thrown rod - either that, or bad timing.) I haven't got that far yet.
I bought it on eBay about a month ago. Its been so nice outside and hardly windy, I decided to do some outdoor painting.
When I get into the new house I will make a paint booth. (Scratch building it)
So... that's whats on my bench for now!
Happy modeling all!

(All previous years of building [with the exception of a few] have been stolen from storage... or the dog ate the parts when she was a pup)
Too many to list.
All the named above on the bench, have been current.
