Thanks!

That looks superb Lyle - what a great idea for a decoration! Was your wife pleased with it?

Wow, that rocks Lyle! I love it! Gee, add some decals of Santa drinking a Coke on the doors and this could really pop! Even without that; this is fantastic! It makes me want to try and build one.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Thanks, Mark, but no decals. Not on the reference pic. I barely got away with the zebra upholstery! Trust me, it was strictly OOB, painted red and hot glued the greenery. You could do this quite easily.

Great finish Lyle! The zebra seat covers are a nice rebel touch from all that estrogen inspired sappiness.

Thanks, Carlos. I was never worried about the card. This allowed me more kits.

This is exactly the stuff what makes this place so special. Great (and crazy) idea, wonderfully and light hearted executed. This screams "Lyle" when I see it.
