Just finished watching episode 3 and I am pretty sure that Haas is glad he and his father are gone. He came across as a spoiled little rich kid, blaming everything but himself for poor driving and Daddy joined in. My guess is that Gunther will think twice before taking money when the owners little b...

Beautiful model. I loved the fit of this old kit. Someday I'll have time to build it again. I still have a first edition with the first Scale Motorsport super detail kit in my cave. I've built two with the SMS kit. I would suggest you get on it before you get too old. It took me three years to comp...

Missed you today. Dales celebration went well. Lots of old friends there.

If you are ever in Irvine, CA, they have them hanging on the walls of the US headquarters. They make a great display.

I got my price when I offer it and that is OK for me and hopefully not too much for modeler who wants one...

Very nice work! I have a somewhat rude question. What does it cost in printing material to do something on this large of a scale? I know doing a project like this is not about cost, but idol curiosity got the better of me.

I will most assuredly miss Dale. The time I spent with him at our "Tamiya" club meetings and dinners before will always be treasured. His builds were always special, even the ones that were just for fun. I was looking for a photo I had of one of his builds that used motorcycle rims and tir...

How do I describe the speed? I guess it is a lower medium speed. I want to feel the wheel "float" on the surface. I use a cloth polishing wheel. It looks like Dremel discontinued the one to use with a regular mandril and only sells in with the EZ mandrel. The item # is 423e. When you get ...
