Feedback and tips eh...

The cars look great. You soaked in all the info and did fantastic. You have a smokin layout, you're painting bods like a guy who's been at it for a long time. You're there man. My only tip is to keep having fun with the little cars.

Very nice. Lot better than some of mine turn out. I'm a little to impatient I want to spray across one time and cover. Its a curse and runs like a marathon.

Hey thanks for the support. Love this hobby. i got my first Thunderjet 500 in '64. And went crazy!! I got into it again in '77 through 80. I wanted a track for years and decided in Dec 06 "what the hell". Its even better than when i was a kid........ Cause i've got money now!! I'm working on a Tyco AC Cobra and a Ferrari 512 next............. thanks again mj

Mamma mia, if I could paint like you do for a first presentation of my work, I'll have already done it loooong time ago...
Sadly I'm just two left hand guys when it comes for spraying cars

Compliments :thumbsup:

Paint and detail work are tremendous - thanks for posting, except you're making some of us look bad by comparison :rolleyes:

As others have said, AWESOME. If I were to change anything, I would have used Sunoco as the sponsor for the AFX Porsche instead of Gulf. Thanks for sharing the pix!

Jerry!???? 30 bux!

Goodness no.

MJ is gonna have to join chat if he wants the discounted rate on tips...especially if he's gonna show us all up like that.

What he doesnt know yet is that the 30 dollar rate comes with a higher user abuse factor... :)
