That one looks sharp I bet that car is a good 500lbs lighter than the Torino

It's what is coming next week.

Jeff I got two cars in my stash 1970 Gt Torino(my hotrod) and I love the original GT40 if I get that urge a 67 Ferrari could find it's way one day.

This was mine back in the day it was Blue with the laser stripes,shaker/hood,351W (11-1),close ratio racing 4/sp toploader/hurst vertigate with 456 posi out back it was a land barge but could scoot pretty well.I built the engine when I worked as a machinist had a .610/.308 cam rollers rockers screw in studs the only work I did not do was boring of the block boss man.The Windsor was a power house had the fella's from dirt tracks wanting to know what all went in her to replicate as you said good ole days fast cars and girls.

Jeff I am not per say bored with them but I do like your weathering it's spot on!You have to understand I like you have been involved with auto's a combined 45yrs between retail and being an automotive machinist the luv has left the station Hence the reason I like to cook,woodwork and model anything but a car just me that's all but by all means keep going it's just been slow of late it seems in the forum me included..........summertime...fishing the GOM.

Holy Cow!!

Sorry to hear that Peter but had a feeling with all that PE it could be a bit much hence the comment and true I have never used all my PE from a kit.I just don't sometimes I hit the same wall and go WTH forget it.I am unlike Mike with destroyers but again I probably used about 50/70% of the PE and can go from start to finish in a month....now cruisers/battle cruisers/battleships more deck more PE again not all is used.I take Mike's suggestion and my tack pick and choose it's your build and your display and keep kinda simple.

Some D-day destroyer motivation

Peter you have some very Nice builds going there as to the French Spit what scale is that one?the details just popped on that one. PS:Yeah the F-16 is Nice also scale on that one?My son is back in Misawa Japan with the 35th FW he's CC to F-16's

What he said Nice!!

Nice Kriss that is one unique crate.

Here is the tool I picked up at HobbyLobby their are probably much better versions out there but works decent for me.The glue is alot like Gator glue thick giving you time to work a complicated part and yet when dried gives an amount of flexibility and Tacky!!

I have some of those clamps on the wood work side you could crush that plastic with that ratchet setup.

Looking good here John thinking once you get the clear on even better let her go.

That's a far amount of brass Peter and don't feel compelled to use it all it it becomes to tedious otherwise a PIA forget that part.I have never ever used all the PE I get never the antenna is a definite if all brass I made the forward one on the Scharnhorst. We need to get Mike in here he uses Infini quite abit I am looking at the round gun mount out back I use a tool for that that works half way decent will take a pic and post later.

Seen that Martian except an F-250 SD was stopped by an I-beam was coming in to get MC when the brakes gave.

That's a Nice looking Corsair John the finish is really quite nice also.

I have just about have the foredeck complete the chains are a Nice add but the mods will....lets say had abit of a cuss factor..I had to walk away.I finished it up this morning without a bit of fuss.I had to add a collar that the chain/anchor slide through some .030" rod bent around a .060" rod.I then added the smaller securing chain looping some .010" through the end twist,bend 90' and inset into the deck the chain was left over from the Schnell Boat 72 links per/inch.You will also notice the Swastikas have been updated to a more acceptable size no more sticks.I was not able to address the location of the right/green capstan it's a mirror image the setup is exactly like the left/red a Trumpter mistake Paul a French builder saw and I saw it but I thought my wooden deck fix it the capstan needed to move about 1/3" left it is what it is.I am just glad I caught and made some mods to the chains/anchor.

So True.

Yeesss she looking good John!!

Nice looking boat I like to do one in that scale but again I like to do a 1/200 USS Wisconsin she was retrofitted just 30 minutes from home back in 84(Ingalls Shipyard) methinks and did sea trials in the GOM.I would of liked to of seen that Carl that's a big girl.

That look Nice there Brad I also have a Lag-7 hanging out somewhere in that storage space.

Good to see you moving onto the finish line with this one John.

Pretty much it.

You will Peter it's just like airplane inside out little sub-assemblies Dawned on me Gleaves Class I gave the Flecther(Trumpter) to the neighbor down the street with the PE as a diversion to his scratch built wood projects. USS Livermore (DD-429), a Gleaves-class destroyer, was the 1st ship of the United States Navy to be named for Samuel Livermore, the first naval chaplain to be honored with a ship in his name.
