Simply amazing work. I can't believe how quickly you produce these models. Indifferent

James,

You don't produce "models", man--you do "Miniature ART"

This is like a painting of an ol' reliable just sitting there waiting to be fired up and do what it's been meant to do all it's "life", Simply outstanding. I think I'd pay to see an exposition of your models in a gallery somewhere!

Amazing!

Hey, Detail Master has some resin old moonshine bottles that you can get and put in the scene. That would really complete the "mood"!

That is really gorgeous.  I can almost hear the engine ticking as it cools from a run.

Maybe a picture of a squirrel playing a harmonica will make you feel better?
