i belong to a metric ton of internet forums. all different subjects of interest, and i can realistically say that there might be more model building in my day if i spent less time on the internet.

 

i know there's a load of criticism out there - about everything! - but specifically how this forum is run (read = moderated).  i don't know if these guys get paid, but even paying jobs can suck the life out of an individual. it has to be a labor of love to wade through all the posts and try to make objective calls continuously. i certainly couldn't do it.

 

reading a specific topic which got shut down, yes, i had added my two cents also, i can honestly say it was done with neatness, dispatch, and alacrity. what more could we possibly expect from these guys?

 

i say "good job" men!

why is the term scratchbuilt used, when something is actually an assembly of modified kit parts from a variety of sources?

TRJ #56 page #10 - Reed Jensen's A-V8. powered by 296 c.i. '48 Mercury flathead with 2 McCulloch centrifugal blowers!

anyone suggest how this could be modeled? i know the resin companies have the blowers, mill & carburetors fairly straightforward, but how to go about making the snakepit of tubing? not the tubing itself, but rather where it starts & stops.

i have a set of Spaulding Trucking photo etch load binders (no instructions). anybody want them? first pm can have them.
