I haven't updated my gallery in a long time so here goes !
After the Little Rod I built two more based on the Monogram 1/8th scale kits . . . The "Little Drag"
and the "Little Tub"
My "Little T" redone by adding the pickup bed .
The "Son Of Ford" finally finished with original decals .
Box Stock build from the reissued kit .
Zinger using an AMT 1/43rd body . First place in the Zingers Contest !
Another Zinger using a diecast '32 body .
This is a resin Deal's Wheels kit by Motorpsycho/Model Factory Hiro . Very hard to find .
This Mini Cheetah is also by Motorpsycho/Model Factory Hiro . It's tiny !!
Now my finished builds for 2019 . A little bit of everything .
Apollo 11 landing , built for the 50th anniversary .
First Funny Car I've built since the 60's !
I spent several months on this one . First place in the "Ed Roth Rat Fink Weird-Ohs Reunion Contest" .
This is the Atlantis reissue of "The Ghost Of The Red Baron" with LED eyes added .
A survivor from around 1977 , a couple of wheels had fallen off but this is how it looked when I unboxed it !
Nice little "Snap" kit . This is right out of the box , somebody could really super detail this kit !
Box stock build of an original kit from my stash . Not happy with the color , I really wanted to just practice making the white decals .
A replica of one of my 1:1 '60 El Caminos . I built this several years ago but now redid it with the correct wheels and tires , lowered ride height , and steering added .
Another long term build using an old Monogram body , some diecast parts , and a resin Elvira. First place in the Halloween Contest .
jbwelda: The owner of this website (drasticplastics.proboards.com) has banned your IP address (54.177.161.40).

jbwelda: have to log into a canadian server to access the site. Next I will use a Russian one and set the viri free

HotRodTom: jbwelda: It ain't Bob that has banned you. You evidently have a spoofed IP. Take a look at this link: www.lookip.net/ip/54.177.161.40 Unless, of course, you are a secret associate of Mr Bezos and have your own server at Amazon.

HotRodTom: It may be that your router or firewall is sending you some bad DNS translation and spamming you out. I wouldn't think that you need to log in to any particular region server to access a site. Perhaps you can flash your DNS table.

jbwelda: thank you Tom, that was interesting. Funny thing is, today did not have the problem, i am somehow using a different ip but it is still linked to Amazon according to that site. I have no idea how this is happening...
May 27, 2023 13:34:01 GMT -5
jbwelda: maybe my isp is using ips through amazon or something, but I certainly am not doing anything special other than changing servers to acquire a different ip that does seem to work here and that entails using a foreign server.

jbwelda: I was planning on having lunch with Jeff later this week to discuss his partnership with Elon and perhaps get a ride on their rocket so I will bring it up with him at that point. Many thanks again!
May 27, 2023 13:37:13 GMT -5
jbwelda: Also that "flash your DNS table" part...any details on that before I just google it? Thanks again again!
May 27, 2023 13:38:42 GMT -5
jbwelda: ah perhaps you meant "flush your DNS table"...that seems a bit more doable
May 27, 2023 13:42:34 GMT -5
HotRodTom: Sometimes I use vernacular that may seem peculiar. Flash/flush, potato/spud.... Reload your DNS table. Somehow it is resolving your IP as an Amazon server in the above-mentioned case. That will certainly get you spoof-blocked.

jbwelda: Thanks again Tom, funny thing is, this current IP also resolves to an Amazon address but seems to work just fine. jb

HotRodTom: It's an interweb thing.....

jbwelda: ha ha happened again...this is getting really tedious. now i am in canada and working well
Jun 14, 2023 11:22:48 GMT -5
jbwelda: wow like three whole people logged on yesterday...I feel like a rat on a sinking ship!

RodBurNeR: nice Bonneville up top! hey all, I still am around but struggling to get my hobby hands back, mainly no way to paint right now

jbwelda: NNL West is today, anyone going? Its going to be crazy around there what with the footsball game next door. First time in a while I am avoiding it but hope someone posts some photos.
Jan 20, 2024 12:51:40 GMT -5
jbwelda: heard it was announced that next year will be the last NNL West. Another one bites the dust.
