Looks great Dave. I'm pretty sure I've seen a 5 pointed star punch somewhere. I'll keep an eye open for one next time I do a scout for useful bits.

Dave - Your midget looks AWESOME! I never would have thought of using the asterisk - that is a great alternate!

It's too shiny Dave. It needs dirt and dust.

Dave, not sure even a brand new unraced midget would ever look that pretty. :D
Got a dead Ninco classic? Quartered steering wheel in some of them.

Beautiful (as usual :mad: ), Dave. On your steeing wheel: lately I've been running short of them myself so I started using thin O-rings and gluing in the crossbars. Not perfect but definitely cheaper than 18 bucks!
