I'm thinking about Model Master 28128 Nassau blue metallic as a possible color. Let the debate begin!

What service are you using to post the photos? Is it difficult? I have to find a new one since Photobucket are being such jerks!
And by the way. Very nice work. I will follow this one.

My daughter makes fun of me for collecting used containers, which I use to organize modeling stuff. It works great, and is free. With age supposedly comes wisdom. I have my moments.
I don't know about the color. It could be correct.

Hi Kip, I loaded a Tapatalk app. Went through the sign in process and started playing. I haven't figured out my new mouse less computer and Fotki. To post the pix here I made went to Openwheel board on Tapatalk, started this discussion and added pictures from the iPad camera directly. So far so good.

Many of us use Imgur for photo posting. It is simple to use (even I can figure it out), and has worked well.
I will be using Gravity paint #GC-255 Mercedes-Benz Ice Blue on my Thompson/Gurney build.

I didn't think we could use photos directly from the iphone? Something to do with using too much data, or the photos using too much space? (Notice the use of technical jargons, like "data" and "too much space"?)

If there is a data restriction, who or what applies it? Is it our board or iCloud or ?

The front susp may be iterating, rear will simpler, staring with drilling out the tranny and using Harvey Aluminum tubing for the driveshaft, bending to set ride ht then sliding hubs and wheels to set track width. Busy day here, no Thompson until manana.

Some progress. Rear hubs are trimmed parts from amt turbine canam. Track width set to 55mm.   The suspension seems to be symmetrical to the frame and body. The engine/tranny is offset in the frame so one axle is different length from other.  |

Hi everyone and to whom it may concern,
If my posting directly from ipad to this thread has been problematic, please delete this thread. I have started a new thread using Fotki. if anyone wants more of the pix from this thread posted to that one, lmk. I will continue this WIP on the new thread.
Sincerely, Dan Parke
