Very tight indeed! At what point do we declare a runoff between the top 2 or 3 contenders?

maybe it's more of a RC airplane thing? Most likely this is correct. Some of those plane guys are pretty hardcore with the scale accuracy. I met a guy at Scale Masters a few years ago who had corresponded with a museum curator in Poland for 2 years to get the details correct on his plane. He said t...

@silvertriple mentioned the helmet he did for his Tomahawk driver, so I searched the thread to take a look. It is such a great detail and easy to duplicate! I am posting a snapshot here in case you haven't seen it.

That's a good looking truck! What is the color?

I see:

My Cougar got a new suit and some upgrades.

I mounted the ProCAT body. The completely uninspired paint choice looks OK. The only hint of color is the Factory Works decal. I used Jeff's XLS chassis on this buggy, otherwise it is a kit standard re-re.
