Well, my own personal build up of the 2012 Winner is done..... Thank you to Michael P. for doing the decals for the DW12 project. This particular car got messed around with a lot since I used for examples in my large amount of instructions. Hopefully here in the next few days I'll be able to give a release date for the first 30 DW12 kits.....I'm almost done with the parts and some other things need to be ironed out before I put the BUY it now button on my website. Thanks for the support!      |

That car belongs in a museum, namely IMS, in that model cabinet with the other 1/25 winners !!!

I knew someone would ask that question. I'm going with Michael, only because you're the Boy Wonder and Michael lives in the mountains and probably has a Bat Cave.

I bet there is more caves around here.....well, old silver mines that is.....but who knows I've been to 6k ft. land. |

I don't live in the mountains - I'm about 20-30 miles away from the front range of the Rockies. I do live on a hill that feels like a mountain when I ride my bike up it and I have seen bats flying around  |

Okay, I stand corrected. I'm still going with Michael as Batman as he's been on the scene longer. And of course there's that Boy Wonder thing.

I am really glad that this is done and about ready for marketing. For all we feel about the DW12 it is what it is and I need to continue to build Indy winners. Thanks to you for taking this on from scratch no less. We are proud of you and want to make you rich. Well, maybe not at our expense.
My best,
Jim

Just thought I would show what the 2013 winner looks like as of now......looks pretty hopeless right now!  (That's why I took the pic) The radiator block offs are cut out of styrene, and there will be a template for it in the kit.   |

The 2013 Winner decal job is a WIP in itself! Michael has done a fantastic job on these, im so glad he has toughed it out and put many hours into this! Thank you X 100,000,000.998756 When doing this decal job it will require some decals to go on first before others.... Here is a WIP of the decals going on.....the pics are even taking with the decals set doing its job. After the decal set is done doing its job it will be smooth as glass (I just wanted to say that for the people that don't know)   ^^^^do you like my work surface? I hardly use it. |

Microsol has very little effect on my decals - I recommend Solvaset.

Interesting, I have always used MicroSol and MicroSet with your decals. I thought they worked pretty well. I will have to get some Solvaset, and try it out.
Take Care
