Damn that's ugly. Why don't you paint it? :D :D

Just kidding. I used to love building models. Then I got the real thing, and it's keeping me too busy for anything else. I figure next winter, when I get the time, I'll sit down and build one of my Vette. I'm just not sure how I'll recreate some of the headaches I've found with mine.
