well I haven't done ANY modeling for about 3 months or more now, unfortunately. with my father in law passing away, and this whole selling the house thing, plus work, holidays, and the ultimate excuse...I GOT A HARLEY...I have packed up my hobby stuff and stored it away with the exeption of a few kits and that SR. I am TRUELY sorry for not finnishing it as I promised, but honestly, that's the way things go. I don't mean to be rude about it.

I do still have the SR as my main project on my table, I have just found it very difficult to find the time to get out there and just do it. I feel as if I have let down my family or something.

rest assured, I do think of it on a daily basis, and do intend of finishing it as soon as I can.

again, sorry for the long waste of time I have been.

hey no worries bro. life has its ups and downs. i have a similar project (ultimate corolla) and i too just barely got back into the hobby. i think after the long break from making models regularly, i needed to get back to the basics. so i went out and picked up a simple model and built it OOB. no mods, no custom anything. it helped out and got me back into the modeling mood. it sounds like you have alot on your plate so don't worry too much about modeling. when you have time, you'll be back in full swing...catch my drift? LOL i do look forward to seeing more progress when you have a chance. good luck with this project!!

No worries

well aside from the center cover and the letters, the valve cover is done. but unfortunately that's where it all stops. I got the front of the head done, but I started on the sides and got side tracked.

I have made a LITTLE progress, I got one side of the head done, now I am working on the other.

I HPOE to have this thing done by mid march, to show it at the contest in dallas, texas. after that, and after I get into my new place I should be popping a few out for you guys, but the way things are around here, I'd be lucky to have the head done by then

any progress is good progress, I gotta give it to you, scratching a motor at this scale is hard

no they got deleted from the host I had them on, and much to my dissapointment, I can't retrieve them from my computer either, so I'll just end up starting a new thread, or something once I get some more progress to show

well, I better get to it!!! hahaha, I just finished a paint project for a friend, now my table is all clean and ready to be covered with plastic filings and chunks that will eventually end up in the trash.
