        This 1:24 piece was at the Cincinnati show this past weekend. I thought that everything about this model just worked. The colors, the design, the overall build - really a nice result.

      I gotta agree on this one too. There's some things I don't like about it, but it's got a certain post-retro thing goin' on that's pretty cool without being overly modern. I like the profile of the body. Swoopy but aggressive. Reminds me of something I can't put my finger on.

      That's a nice build-up of the Monogram Red Baron, to be sure. If the 1/12 version of that kit weren't so darned expensive, I might try something along those lines myself! I wonder how much time/money he has invested in all those machined aluminum parts.

      Doh! That's it!

      Yes the abundance of machined aluminum is a bit much, but still...it's got a little mojo.

      Nice piece of machinery. Really clean and well put together. Anyone know who did it??

      Not sure who built it. Looks kinda like one that was built for a Tom Daniel contest a year or two ago - I'll try to look it up.

      Meanwhile, here's one I built four or five years back:

      Yeah - for those that can't see it well enough, that's a V-8 from a Porsche 928.

      found the link to this car from 2004:
