Hi manning,
thank you for asking. Well, in some ways, I have been ok and others not so well. Here is a little rundown:
1) I have been on the site, but not to make any post. I have been doing some forum updates and maintenance and some other forum stuff to keep it up to date.
2) I have been seeing a Chiropractor for lower back problems that seems to be rather stubborn.
3) I have been doing a lot of traveling. I just got back from Austin Texas watching the Circuit of the Americas.
4) I am currently working on the DeAgonstini Lotus Senna model that is taking forever. Sometimes, they run out of parts and I have to be on a waiting list. I have been working on this car now for a solid year now. Most of that time is waiting for parts since this is a "Part Build"
5) I have been building several NASCAR models as well.
6) I did put my USS Constitution up for a while as I kind of got burned out from working on the hull. I said that when I finish the DeAgonstini Indy Car, I was going to get back to the Coney.

Here are a few pics from some models I have been completed and the Indy Car that is still in progress. The DeAg Indy is quite complicated and not for the faint of heart. Extreme details. Everything is put together with metal screws, metal parts and some high impact plastic parts.
