    Impressive! Very impressive. So, tell us how many long hours did that take, or is it over so long a period that its not possible to determine?
    You are an artiste'

    Zeph, as others have said that I so well detailed and constructed. Truly an excellent job to remind us of yesteryear! Well done. Now you better get busy and start dragging them out of the junkyard and rod/restore them before some ****** s****s them all!!! I have just over 110 kits in my attic and I'm retiring Jan 7th. I guess I should start buying glue and paint...

    I at first thought for a second that was real. Then I thought it was something I wouldn't care about. Wrong, from here it looks pretty phenomenal........you have serious skills.

    To have the vision of building this and have it turn out so well shows real talent. Very nice work.

    Incredible.
    All you'd need is an old school bus full ofhubcaps and it'd look exactly as I remember the old junk yard I used to love to go to.

    Thanks for sharing.
