Here are some photos of what I have been doing lately........I have finished the Evel Knievel tribute bike. Basically a revell chopper built box stock with tamiya metallic blue, bright white, hand painted red striping and all sealed with tamiya pearl clear. Skeleton is a halloween decoration that I found at Micheal's craft store. Basically a lenght of twine with eight or so of these skeletons hanging in it. I had to bend his legs and arms and reglue his shoulders to position him on the bike. I think it makes a pretty good 1/12th scale skeleton. 
O.K. don't shoot me for showing truck models here, but I entered the rat rod rig and the peterbilt stake rake in the Fulton New York model show on the 19th and wound up with a first place in over the road trucks and 2nd place for truck show and shine. Michael (my son) took first place in junior division with his Rommel rod. I tend to drift to different aspects of model building from time to time......right now I am on a kinda truck (big rig) building kick, but I also build figures, fly radio controlled planes, r/c cars, etc
Here is a shot of our work room. I am lucky enough that the wife allowed me to have a whole room for the hobby!!!! The models on the shelfs are two deep and I still have an attic full to boot!!!!! Although you can only see the cage in the photo, Tweek my attack rabbit is lying down in there!!! He over sees all model projects!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Finally I have enclosed a picture of myself........It is what I look like before my first cup of coffee!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
