    Beautiful workmanship John. What wood was used and appears to be made of one solid piece, as I couldn't see any glue lines??? is this correct?
    You should win quite a few points with that from the young man.
    To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

    That's one sleek looking sports car, would cut through the air like a hot knife in warm butter me thinks.

    Very nice build on the Lambo.

    When my sister was younger she wanted a Celica I was never into cars so did not really understand. Well as it happened she purchased an older model Celica and once again another opportunity came along and she ended up with another Celica that was only just over 2 years old. These have long gone and I think she dives a Camry.

    That is a helluva neat build "10-1" phalanx.. Just don't let him ride in a bordello... give him a year or two!

    Jokes aside... that is cool! More pickies would not go astray... (not of the bordello)...

    Very nice work John, very well done.
    Hope you don't mind if I get to share these pictures on my Facebook page.
    I guess scale of this looks more like 1/14 ish?
    Keep up the good work!
