I don't think they make a model of my first car, a 1989 Olds 88. But I do plan on building up a model of my first vehicle that had my name on the title, a 1995 Ford Ranger, I plan to build one as a sold it and build one the way I always planned on building my actual truck.

He stuck around for as long as he could.

I used to work at O'Reilly Auto and I know we were able to get all of the HOK airbrush stuff, and I believe most other auto parts stores can get them also.

One more question. I'm somewhat stuck on my pick of colors. I know I want green with black stipes and wheels, but I'm not sure which shade of green. Which of the following greens do you think would look best? These are all Tamiya colors. TS-20 Metallic Green TS-35 Park Green TS-09 British Green TS-43 Race Green And the black will be TS-40 Metallic Black

I got a little bit more done on this build in the last few days. I finished up the engine, and put on the first coat of paint for all of the chasis components. Here's the engine. Here's my paint set up for painting all of the chasis components. The sway bars, radiator, radiator shroud, and a top view of the drive shaft. A better view of the radiatro and shroud, along with the front struts. All the aluminum painted parts. And 2 pics of the base chasis. (Sorry for the blurry pics, I'm still trying to find the best settings for this camera._ Next up I need to give the parts a second coat of paint, and I need mask up and paint the parts that need a second color on them. Also I will be stripping the chrome from the stock wheels so that I can paint them this weekend, I found that the oven cleaner that they use at my wifes apartment complex she manages, stips chrome from the parts in about 5 minutes and doesn't hurt the plastic. Also I have a question for anyone watching. Does anyone have some good pictures of a Mustang under carriage? The instructions call for the whole thing to be bright silver, but that just doesn't look quite right. And I's like to get it a bit more realistic, but I still won't be wearthering it since I don't feel comfortable with that yet, maybe on the next build. Again thanks for watching this build.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes it is the Tamiya kit, box stock using the Nur spec optional parts and decals.

What's snow? It's 85 outside right now here in middle Georgia.

That's beautiful! I love Mercurys and the 65 Marauder is in my top 3 cars of all time.

Thanks everyone. I got the idea for the tackle box from a couple of builds I've seen here, also it helps me keep the parts away from my son who is 18 months old and likes to come visit daddy in his office. I plan to start work on this tonight or tomorrow depending on when my wife and son go to bed . Right now I'm thinking I'm going to do the car in a lime green or dark green with black stripes and dechrome the wheels and paint them black, but I'm not sure yet.

I was wondering this same question since I don't think I have the best solution right now. I use a bent wire hangar to hold the body, this works very well in my opinion. For everything else I use poster tac, it's a putty used for hanging posters on the walls, on cardboard. I try to use as little as possible and place it on a spot that shouldn't be seen when everything is put together.

I have just started my second model ever and I thought I'd document the process. The kit is a Revell Moden Muscle '06 Ford Mustang GT 1:25. I've already seperated the parts from the trees, primered them, and seperated them into a tackle box. I haven't decided on the color for the car yet, but I can wait on that since I plan to take a little more time on this one than my first build. I want to work on cleaning up mold line and such this time. Also having bouth this kit 3 or 4 years ago, opening it, and then moving 3 times since then, it looks like I've lost a few parts (wheel pins, exhaust tips, and a fog light back). I will deal with those when they come up though. I plan to start work on this tonight. Thanks for viewing.

I finished my first model last night, other than some 24 hour specials I did as a kid that have been destroyed many years ago. Please give me any constructive critisism that you want. I also apologize for some of the photos, I tend to shake a little especially at night and my camera does not have a good anti-shake sensor, and I don't have a tripod yet. Thanks, and here's the pics.

You and your family will be in my prayers.

The 150 gb for dsl/250 gb for Uverse is correct. Unless you spend most of your time streaming videos from places like youtube, hulu, or netflix, and I mean MOST of your time, you shouldn't really come near those limits. One of my co-workers with AT&T monitored his usage for a month and he hit 100 gb and he watches a lot of Netflix streaming.

I think it's a model, just doesn't look real to me, I can't explain why.
