ACME - November 2004 meeting (12 pics)

[CADguy]

The turnout for this meeting was huge, as it was the last meeting before our Annual model show.

I was kind of rushed taking pics just before the end of the meeting, and a bunch of them came out fuzzy. All of the ones that came out bad will be present at our show, and I will take lots of pics of them then.

Even Kunta showed up from Japan!!! (not really in the flesh but a car was present he's built)
Kunta was nice enough to send his beatuiful F355 for display at our show next weekend. His work is truly fantastic.





Kunta and CADguys 355's

Wow, some nice looking stuff there.

[robrex]

that's a very impressive group of car models!

[BuickGS455]

Wow, I think those are most of my favorite builds form this board, and they are all on one table! Amazing, gotta love all of that italian.

Amazing selection of exotica there today! Funny how one of the older club members wasn't on the same page when he commented on our needing to do a club build project, and we told him that's pretty much what last year's 350Z's were, and this year's Miuras. I guarantee he wanted us all to break out and dance for a street rod, while we've already been boogyin' to our own beat!

Hehe, next year we've got small blocks for a theme, and soon we've got '04 and '05 GTO kits coming...hmmm, do I smell a potential underground theme?

Fantastic stuff! More pics.

Nice meet, the F355s and the Murcielagos are beautiful!

[Eric Cole]

I think I counted somewhere around 30 models on the table yesterday. It was a really good meeting.

Just a taste of what the ACME NNL is going to be like.

Thanks, Matt and Brian!
I'm little envious my F355, 'cause I've never visited in United States.

Yes. He did a ton of conversions to it, to make a replica of his old 1:1 wagon. He opened the hood, using a derelict '73 kit that I gave him (it was horrible, but had the parts he needed). He removed the wood trim, and added Buick rims. If he could have figured out how to make a working clamshell tailgate, I'm sure he would have. It does have poseable steering, and he replaced all the molded-in exhaust w/scratchbuilt exhaust.

Someday I'll get to mine, it's a neat kit.

Great pics! Wish I came, but I think its better that I spend my time preparing for the big one.

Matt, bring your Camera to NNL. I think you, Bob, Dennis, Brian, and whoever else brings camera's should make a big thread with all these pics. I for one am going out to buy a new card for my camera, its only capable of 1927 pics. I hope its enough.
