DD_Arthur Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Well done FT. Looks great! Duel is a great movie too. The only problem is the ending. If the maniac driving the tanker had actually managed to flatten Dennis Weaver, we'd have been spared all those episodes of McCloud Btw; did you know Dennis was a naval aviator? Infact an interesting guy all round Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted April 23, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks FT, so you paint wild a bit like JMW Turner, but without the spitting when dry brushing obviously. Excellent work sir. Quote

Infact an interesting guy all round Thanks! Yes, I knew he was a naval pilot in WWII, read about that... McCloud is cool! Thanks FT, so you paint wild a bit like JMW Turner, but without the spitting when dry brushing obviously. Excellent work sir. I do love the works of mr. Turner... the way he put 'light' into the paintings is simply amazing ... Quote

DD_Arthur Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Oh course! Look; what if the Pope went on a lightning visit to some Belgian nuns and he decided to travel via Eastern Holland? You know what Popes are like, right? They can just pop up anywhere, anytime! You gotta' be prepared FT http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-43-Altaya-Fiat-Papamobil-Pope-Johannes-Paul-II-in-gift-Box-/361082640178?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item541233d732 Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted May 31, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted May 31, 2015 Nice idea, yet you got the scale wrong, I need 1/64, yours is only available in 1/43 scale! Quote

Already got two Charges, a Bourgundy Red '68, and a Beige '67 Black cars I already got too many, thanks, Chevy Impala SS, Nova SS.... etc. Yeah, I bet those RC Heli's are a lot of fun.... Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted June 10, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted June 10, 2015 Now that only a few model cars are on the bridge, most of them were in a box, packed away. So, using two pieces of perspex I had somewhere, and some others stuf, last Sunday, I built me a simple display case. The perspex door hinges at te top. (It looks a bit warped, but that's what the iPhone's 'Pano' does ... ) Quote

DDz Quorum Posted June 10, 2015 Hobbies are very therapeutic so it follows that the more hobbies you have and the more passionate you are about them, the more there is wrong with you that requires therapy ? Conclusion, we Dogs are very sick puppies ! Lol Keep up the good work Arjen. P. 1 Quote

I get what you're saying, and I agree, yet I think it could be worded better: "(...) so it follows that the more hobbies you have and the more passionate you are about them, the more special you are, and the more you can do without special expensive therapy" Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted July 5, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 5, 2015 So, because so many models are not ón the bridge currently, decided to build a cabinet for them. Too bad, all of them still do not fit in it... Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted September 5, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted September 5, 2015 Hey, this thread has had very little attention. You all thought I had regained my senses and stopped paying attention to die-cast 1/64th scale models? WRONG! Look, a completely new cabinet built! Some of the models added: Lincoln Continental: (Heavily customized, different wheels, higher stance, painted interior) A selection of bad-ass fire trucks! Some 60's muscle cars ... And the latest, and therefore currently the greatest: Custom built Peterbilt 379/385 Wrecker Tow Truck: Combination of this: And this: Beetle for the win! Big Cadillac Mercedes 500SL and Jaguar XJ.CS v12 Law enforcement: It's just... I found a forum dedicated to model car collectors.... Swifty's Garage I've started several threads there, one 'm for the bridge... (And two of the pictures I posted of cars on the bridge got nominated for 'Picture of the Month July', there was a vote and.... mine ended up winner and runner up.... w00t!) Quote
DD_Arthur Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Congratulations FT Very well deserved too. I note that you have spent all day doing a cut and shut on the breakdown truck, lol. I find it hard to pull your leg over this as I'm an active member of two RC helicopter forums and I've spent most of this rather nice Saturday in early autumn trying to breathe life back into one of my micro helis. I believe its a man thing Quote
PapaBear Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Well done FT, absolutely brilliant, love the caddy. Quote
