This is a backup of my final entry pics to make sure the links work. Enjoy. Dale

Done. Waiting for the final bell to upload the rest. Enjoy my teaser... ;D Dale

I understand there's a formula of some sort for the final photos and I can't seem to find it. How many and what angles? Or is it only restricted to a certain number? I seem to recall six. I'd like to lock this critter up today. Three months is a long time on one build. Dale

Yes! Especially the last photo. I expect it to kick over and spit nitro fumes or something. Dale

Hi, all. I’ve been away from the computer but have been working to finish up my kit and it’s about ready for that place where models go to live or die - the paint shop - so here’s where I am. The size of the motor seemed to dominate the build as things started to come together. I built a...

I know. Trying to post the image direct link into this thread resulted in an instantaneous Account Suspended notice that lasted for around an hour. I guessed members are banned from posting images in contest wip threads. Im good with that. Dale

I tried posting a photo of my balsa bed and it suspended my account, so I guess that tripped some auto lock-out in the site. Use your imagination or try this link: http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/ScaleDale/media/Truck_zps5bb77589.jpg.html?sort=2&o=48 Dale

Looks good so far. Ditto to what Scott said about those tires. Maybe get a set of colored pencils from a craft store and use the white one on the tires and spray it with a dull coat if it looks OK. Wash it off and start over if not. When I built this kit the one thing I couldn't stand was the...

I’m going to be away from my shop for the next week, so I wanted to get my engine finished and detailed. I’ve never tried to do this at this level of complexity and I think I did a good job. The wiring is Memory Thread from Michael’s, the big craft store here in the US. It’s copper wire...

Shiny! How long is that going to last? ;] Dale

Slick paint work on the motor. Is that all airbrushed? If so, what paint? It's super smooth. Dale

Yes it is. It even looks out of scale 1:1 ;D And thanks for the comments. Dale

Happy holiday if you celebrate today in your part of the world or in your particular faith. I wanted to complete my first month of work on this project with a free standing chassis and motor and was able to get that in. Coming up with motor mounts was difficult, so I just scratched together...

Martinez: The photos are of very high quality and really help to showcase the level of quality in your work. Photography is my other bad habit, so may I ask what equipment you used to take the shots? Looks like studio lighting to me, too, or at least a good backdrop. Overall, this is most...

Thanks. It's finally starting to look like a race car. Dale
