Another update. This time, the '68 "Bullitt" Mustang page is up and working, and a new pic is on the '90 Alan Kulwicki T-Bird page. More to come as I retake some pictures that turned out like garbage. Enjoy. posted by Mike Pelliccioni at 12:45 AM It's been a long time since an update, but boy, what an update this one is. Thankfully, my hand is about 97% healed, so I'm back into modeling full bore. While I was off, I picked myself up an airbrush which (as I get better with it) should really improve my finishes, since the main problem I've been having is thick paint. The problems with the webmaster's computer slowed the last leg of the "frame" completion up some, but everything seems to be running great now. Anyway, I've added many model pages, including the '01 Earnhardt, '88 Earnhardt, Roadrunner, Series 1, AC Cobra, and a couple more. Note that most of these models are still in the construction/restoration phase, but as soon as I can get some better pics of my finished ones, they'll be following. Well, I'm back up and running, and got everything from the FTP that was already uploaded. Unfortunately, I did lose some stuff that hadn't already been uploaded, but such is life when you trust bad things not to happen, heh. At any rate, I'm going to redo what I already had done, and hopefully Mike still has some of the stuff he'd sent me originally, because I doubt it was included in the stuff I picked up from the website when I got back online. Bad, bad news... First of all, the webmaster's computer broke big time. I don't know many details other than it's a corrupted partition, and he lost loooootsa stuff. It also seems that I won't be working on models for a bit, since I broke something in my hand. The last bit of bad news is that the Series 1 hood turned out like crap again. I think the temperature was too low for the fickle acrylic-lacquer. It's re-primed and ready for a warmer day. I do have some good news, though. The Cobra restoration and Roadrunner were coming along great up until a few days ago. I'll update as I get more info about the immediate future of the site. posted by Mike Pelliccioni at 4:30 PM I'm in the process of fixing some rather annoying problems created by our host. If it weren't for them, this site would be a lot more functional than it is right at the moment, so don't mind the mess while I work around their apparent inability to tell one type of file from another. posted by Justin Miller at 10:42 PM Well, from my last update, I've been modeling away and the individual model pages are on their way. I've been having a lot of annoying problems with the Shelby Series 1 kit, particulary with the hood. I'm starting to learn why everyone's afraid of acrylic lacquers... I swear that this model hates me, so I nicknamed it Eleanor from "Gone In 60 Seconds" since it's being so stubborn. :) I finally decided to strip the hood and respray it, so it's in the drying process now. Keep your fingers crossed. posted by Mike Pelliccioni at 2:41 PM I'm registered and ready to go. This will be the area where we'll post site updates and short model updates (I'll leave the big stuff for the individual pages). Also, I'd like to say thanks to Justin for getting this site up and running. All of your compliments should go to him so far. :) Welcome, everyone and enjoy the site. posted by Mike Pelliccioni at 12:38 PM A contacts page was created and uploaded earlier today, and just now I cut the size of the buttons by a third. They shouldn't be so obnoxiously large anymore. posted by Justin Miller at 12:22 AM
