    Re: Just joined from California

    Yes. I wanted to see how long it would take before someone realized that the Alfa is a model. Its a Pocher 1/8 scale. But still, it requires an amazing amount of work and patience. I of course didn't get everything right but it came out pretty good. It has a lot of working parts but of course I don't have to put my life in my hands (of my own handiwork).

    See my thread in the Litton builds to see if putting your life in the hands of one built by another is a preference.....

    If you can do or would not be afraid to tackle every aspect of maintenance and service on your own car - then building a car such as the LB should not be a problem. If you are happy with 75% of the tasks - make sure you have a ready supply of beer and treats for the mechanically gifted mate you rope in to assist with those parts - if you don't have any mates that make the grade I would imagine if you cover flights, board and beers - you will have a selection of SEC Stratos building winter sunseekers negotiating an excess baggage allowance for the return trip home.

    The Tiger is nice.

    You're going to need bigger hammers.
