Looks outstanding Charles.

Charles,
your modeling is not only amazing, but it's on a scale that few of us can ever hope to come close to. Your burnt out tracker is not only just super detailed, but certainly looks as though it completely burnt in a cab fire. Even the exterior cab paint looks as real as one could imagine of it being engulfed in flames.
Sure hoping that your still considering joining us for the Ford Oval campaign.

Hi Joel. Appreciate your kind words. Still have not decided on the Ford Oval Campaign yet. I gave to be inspired first. And I have no idea, what I want to do. I have no Ford kit either. I think, I have to go over the rules first.

Charles,
Sir, your skill level is what I hope to attain someday. The steel bands of the burn out tire really scream "realistic!"
