Tamiya Tyrrell P34 1/20
Chinacar replied to PatW's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
I have one in my stash too. This has got to be the most stashed model on the market. Kudos to you for building it Pat, you did a great job! -
I've heard of two-doors and four-doors, even occasionally a "five-door," but this is the first time I've ever seen a "No-doors!"

Thank you!

What did you see on the road today?
Danno replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes, but they very often provide extensive training and practice for paramedics! -
Thanks Pierre Rivard. David, I know nothing of any RC Cars. I had one of the first Tamiya Beetle Sand Scorchers about 35 years ago, but the batteries were so lacking in power for more than 15 minutes I got rid of it!

Brother can you spare a dime? Was not a phrase that a drug addict would ask but rather one that a down on their luck individual would ask.

Beautiful, great work.

Right about now, the funks..... oh, brother......

Looking For A Special Glue
StevenGuthmiller replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Generally yes. The particular epoxy that I use can sit for at least 5 minutes before it begins to tack up. Depending on the particular assembly that needs to be performed, I’ll either apply the glue and then immediately mate the parts if it’s a pretty secure connection, followed by a check after about 10 minutes to be certain that the positioning is correct, or else I’ll mix the glue, apply it to one of the surfaces to be mated, and then let it sit for 5 minutes or so, after which I’ll check for tackiness. If the glue is sufficiently tacky to hold the part securely in position without sliding around, then I’ll assemble the parts, and again, return probably ten minutes later to verify that it’s still in position. I’ll usually continue to make periodic positioning checks until the remaining glue on the mixing card is completely hardened, which probably takes about 15 or 20 minutes. Steve -
Love it. Very creative.

Not anymore! It should be on its way to my mailbox soon. 😊 -
1969 Camaro A/SA (possibly Thomas Arnett’s)
R. Thorne replied to R. Thorne's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thanks, Tony. As I have mentioned before, I am a ceaseless experimenter. It is time for the “chrome” trim. My second time using the Hasagawa stuff. My first time with the short scalpel with the curved blade. I also use the 1 mm double hobby knife blade and cut out narrow strips as opposed to trimming on the car. A couple of pictures that, hopefully, will allow you to see the results. I like it, myself. Relatively easy to apply this way, little buffing, definitely less wrinkly than bmf, and shiny. Took some pics of the car before I started to give you some idea of what it looks like before. -

Thank You. Appreciate it. -
Everything looks great. The dash is greatly detailed. I try to stay away from such details by building Altereds and such where that kinda detail is needed…

Nicely done. It's a good looking truck. -
AMT Kenworth W925 Coke
Jim B replied to iamsuperdan's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
AMT changed the kit, but never changed the box. A spring suspension truck is a W923. Did you design the headache rack? -

What was your first model car?

Red Baron........followed up by the Beer Wagon. -
Today's pleasing came by way of the click of the mouse. I purchased a kit that was on my list of wants. It's probably the rarest kit that will be in my stash. It's also a kit that probably excites only a hand full of modelers.. Hint.. I might be a little Koo Koo for buying it but I did and I'm happy as a squirrel who lives on a peanut farm.
