    That is impressive and the use of a good imagination.

    Pretty amazing work, but I could do without the stairs up to the roof.

    MMmmm, that would be a great name for it, I also knew it reminded me of something and it was a toy car I have, there are others but they are away in a box somewhere. But here are some shots of the silver one and some other vehicles. The truck and wing were dig finds from the desert homestead.

    Sweet !

    That one looks nice although it's obviously not quite form following function .

    I wonder how many millions one costs ? .

    WoW, you gotta wonder what kinds of drugs and how many a man has taken when they come up with a design like this. It looks like something off of the Beetles Yellow Submarine album. Very nice work and well thought out...Big Tim :cool:

    I'm afraid I can't let the kids play with this car Charles, I did a price check on it and found one that was expected to sell for 1100.00. It only ended up getting 600.00 though, so I thought I had better take care of it.....Big Tim :cool:

    Whoa!! Just had a flashback to my 4th (I Think) Birthday. I got a toy car like that. I also remember getting a metal airplane, maybe a Corsair, with fold up wings. Trip down memory lane. Thanks Charles....:D
