Thanks 2whl! I agree.. there are a lot of great builds here and I love them all. I'm enjoying your third attempt at that Ferrari. Looking forward to watching you build it. Do you build motorcycles too? I have two cool Tamiya race bike kits I'm looking forward to building. Thanks Chris. I'm hoping the 312 doesn't get put aside. But I have too many builds started. Yes, i do build motorcycles. I have three Rossi bikes done, with another 9 waiting to be built. I just put a Vincent Black shadow on the back burner while I tackle the Ferrari.

Glad to have you here Chris! Jim Thanks Jim.. I just caught the tale end of your 1989 Indy Winner and am looking forward to reading through it. Great job on that one! I've actually got a pic of Emo coming down the pits waving at us after winning that race. Unfortunately everyone was standing up and waving back so a lot of heads and hands are blocking it but I think you'll appreciate it. I went to most 500s between 85 and 96 and have lots of photos. I wasn't sure if this was the right year at first then I saw the pic of Kevin Cogan and knew it was '89. His car stopped right in front of us after the big crash... never forget that. Kevin being pulled away from his car after the biggest crash I've seen. Go to the 58 second mark of this vid to see around the instant I took this photo got a cool pic of Danny's car the next year (I believe.. I don't have my pics marked).

I'll have to look those up!

Call me weird but Kevin's crash in '89 is my all time favorite motorsport accident. Especially since he walked away

I noticed your post count and figured you were new here...like me. I haven't been here too long either but have known some of these guys from abroad for a few years. It's a nice 'n comfortable atmosphere here with some good talent to boot. Your builds mirror the fact that your skillset is improving with each one. Pull up a chair, get a WIP goin' and take plenty of pics and ask plenty of questions if you've got 'em. Great to have you here bud, Joe Where do you all host your pics? I don't want to upload to an album over on Model Car Magazine Forum (where the ones above are) to post over here.
