| | - Old Builds
- Older kits from my return to Car modeling. Most were done before discovering polishing kits,liquid cements, and Bare Metal Foil! But these kits led to where I am today, so I'm just as proud of them as I am the newer builds.

- albums: 8
| | | - Muscle Cars

| | | - Everything else
- Anything that doesn't fit into the other categories ends up here. This album includes Classics, Modern cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Exotic Sports Cars, Aircraft, and stuff from other builders that I think is cool.

| | | - Paint Jobs/Custom Work for other people
- These are bodies I've painted or customized and painted for other people. It seem like my best work goes out to other people, but that's fine with me. If I can make someone else happy, or inspire them to try what I did for them, then I've done something right. I've decided to start doing these on commission, so if you have an idea you can't get to work, or a paint job you can't pull off, e-mail me and we'll talk!

| | | - Contest & Car Show Pictures
- Pictures from the contests and car shows I've been to. If you see something of yours from a contest, leave a comment and I'll make sure you get credit for it.

| | | - Personal Photos
- Family photos, you'll need a password for these! Just pictures of the King of the Goofball Nation and his Princesses! Lots of pictures of them, a few of me. I don't want to scare everyone!
- albums: 11
| | | - BMX Stuff
- Well, since a good part of my formative years were spent with a set of handlebars in my hands, I figure it's time to post some pics of my "Glory Days" and some of the museum pieces I still have in my possession. It'll take some time, but I'll eventually fill this up with actual pictures of me on my bike, and maybe even a video or two if I can find a way to get 'em off of the VHS tapes cheaply and easily!

| | | - Aftermarket Companies I really like
- These are companies that I buy stuff from, and it's some really good stuff! I'll add stuff anytime I find a company or dealer I think you guys and gals should know about.

Halloween 2010 -
Pics of Da Girls Halloween makeup. Eva & Mary insisted on the KISS makeup, I had nothing to do with their decisions, but I did do their makeup (Pam did their eyeliner so I didn't blind them!). Pam did Gia's sweet Vampire makeup (She wouldn't bite you unless you asked nicely!), and they went out and snagged a bunch of candy for our work! -

My tire & rim stash, and any other various model stuff I want to add -
All of the extra rims, tires and wheel backs I've accumulated over the years. I needed to post some pics of some tires for a buddy on Scale Avenue, so I made an Album just for Tim! Now it takes all kinds of pics for other model-related pics I don't want to make a folder for. -

Tutorial Pictures -
OK everyone, you've waited a long time, but here it is finally. I use Acrylic fingernail filler almost exclusively for my custom work, for a multitude of reasons. It's incredibly strong, versatile, and impervious to stripping methods we use, unlike putties and Bondo. It strengthens the joints made when mating dissimilar parts together, can be used to create small parts, and after 5 years on my Concept Camaro, shows no sign of shrinkage. The down side is the smell, and it's very hard to sand compared to putties and Bondo. But with some practice on a scrap body, once you get used to it's application and sanding, you'll be hooked! This is a "beginner" tutorial on the use of Acrylic filler, we'll get into other application methods and uses in another Tutorial later. -
