  1. its so dumb, its like collecting art, but not really. the original artwork is valuable and copies are not...except with these digital pictures, its amazingly easy and simple to copy. control + C then control + V i would like to see someone do that with a monet piece oh joy, i have the original copy of jack took my bacon sandwich video....
  2. On the new revell bronco buggy the box shows them in a nice yellowish orange. Does anyone know what brand and paint it is I have tried several of the tamiya orange and camel yellow and they aren't right The instructions just say gloss orange
  3. Im calling this one done. I have to say i really enjoyed this build except the top. Mine was warped so the glass didn't fit, it wont stay in place well. I glue it down but its not perfect. i basically glue bombed the one corner and its not staying put. I think i will need to get gorilla glue or something that dries fast but holds strong. Anyway, the chrome on the sides is molotow pen. I had to glue the hood down as well since it was warped too. The 78/79 bronco is my favorite truck so im glad i was able to build this. I am temped to strip it and paint again without the chrome strip
  4. I dont have a permenant work area either and i bought a platic bin to paint in. You definitely dont want to paint in windy conditions.
  5. i thought this was going to be stupid, but i liked it a lot
  6. i think its the zvezda or ICM. i built quite a few t34 in a row. its either https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Military_Vehicles/t-34-85-medium-tank/ZVE00003687/product.php?pg=3&ppp=48&sb=stocknumber&so=a&e=0&kw=t34 or https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Military_Vehicles/soviet-t34-85-medium-tank/ICM00035367/product.php?pg=2&ppp=48&sb=stocknumber&so=a&e=0&kw=t34 the icm was easier to build
  7. I gave up on the decals and went with the blue. I need to do minor touchup on the bottom but looks ok otherwise Its very reflective but the pictures dont show it
  8. tamiya spray paints that have the TS prefix are good for static models. its the PS that are for RC. I use tamiya paints on everything, even little pieces
  9. This is my t34/85 tank. I built this during the pandemic. it was my first tank in a long time. I love the way the tank looks
  10. Where did you find it?
  11. Scalehobbiest is by far the best i have used
  12. I used to just put my can under the faucet running really hot water. As far as orange peel, i think it is going to happen with testors paint. I think i very light wetsand with 2000 grit should take it out. I use tamiya sray paint now and have never had orange peel. i have even run it once, and by the time it dried, it level itself out with no drips. The only problem with tamiya spray is the selection of colors isn't great. However for black, i would use tamiya if possible
  13. I got myself a pickup jamboree today. At hobby lobby they had the sale so i got the following 2x revell big game gmc pickup 1x revell 76 chevy stepside Amazon delivered an unwarped amt 1978 ford f150 Autoworld delivered the limited edition exclusive of the ford courier stepside with the flames on the box. I most happy about the unwarped 78 ford amt. That brought me a lot of grief this weekend where i went to hobby lobby 3 times trying to get onevthat wasn't warped. finally i comtacted round2 for parts replacement
  14. I got the bed done and it looks really good. Its not 100% perfect, but i think like 98%. Considering there are not alignment pins or something to line it up, im very happy with how it came out. The hood has slight warp to it. im hoping keeping it taped in place will help.
  15. the kit from amazon came in and it has no real warping at all. i put together the bed in about 1 hour. on the warped kit i spent most of saturday trying to get it right. the tailgate is a bit warped, but other than that, this one is better.
  16. does revell have a store to buy from them directly?
  17. is the revell mid/late 70s chevy/gmc discontinued? I am talking about the 78 gmc pickup with plow, the 76 chevy stepside and the gmc big game pickup? i saw they are not in stock at hobbylobby, on amazon they are way overpriced by scalpers. i was able to find 2 of the big game pickup and 1 of the chevy stepside at my local hobby lobby, but they didnt have the gmc with plow. I dont need anymore now that i found it at my local hobby lobby, but i am curious if this is discontinued now? im not going to build the big game pickup with the giant tires, but i wanted to get it in case it is discontinued. i am sure i can find some normal sized tires in my stock pile
  18. i never thought of using tissue paper with white glue. i think my wife has some. i will have to give that a try
  19. i would just google goodrx and the product name. it would show me the prices for the products and where to get it the cheapest. i always go to cvs, since its the only one by my house. typically they are all within a dollar or so. for example, if you looking for amoxicillin, i would just google goodrx amoxicillian and it would bring back this result https://www.goodrx.com/amoxicillin dont know if the paid version is cheaper. its basically like a coupon program, but it seems like every product i have ever needed was there. my wife was on a really expensive medicine, it took off like 100 dollars over retail, but it was still like 300 dollars a month. her rx plan brought it to 40 dollars. my wife's insurance is good. mine isnt. unfortunately adding me makes hers very expensive and not worth it.
  20. is this one the one? This is kind of what i had in mind. i could probably make it of out cloth, but it would take a long time since i am not much of a sewing expert
  21. I used goodrx free version a couple of times before. My prescription insurance is not great. Its almost always within a couple of dollars of my paid prescription plan. I didn't know they had a paid version but the free version is good
  22. Do any kits have a 70s or 80s style camping tent? I will make one if i have to, but if there is one in a kit, i would prefer it Also, do any kits have a small squirrel or little bird
  23. i just got an email from round2. they say 2 to 4 weeks or longer for the replacement part. if the amazon one isnt good, this is going to the closet for a while. how much do you want to bet when the replacement part does come, that it will be warped too i think i will work on the revell gmc pickup with snowplow instead. or maybe finish the bronco or ford courier i have wip. i dont typically buy amt stuff, but i really liked the subject. meh, this ruined my whole lunch break now
  24. I was finally able to find one i liked. It was some brand, Beckham hotel pillow. It took several days before it broke in, but its very comfortable. I think they were 20 dollars or so. I sleep better but still not through the nights. basically any noise wakes me up and i have trouble sleeping again. i also had to put up 2 sets of light blocking curtains. my neighbors hung up these bright lights on the shared porch next to our window and they shine right in. Over xmas they put Christmas lights on the bushes outside our window. They took great offense to when i unplugged them. Im not a scrooge but having 4 sets of strings on 2 tiny bushes is too much. We didn't even need to turn on our bedroom light at night. It was like the griswold house. Maybe they are afraid of the dark. Tgis is the same neighbor that hosed Down our door 2 hours after the baby birds left the nest on our door. Getting water into our hallway through the mail slot. They are different neighbors though then the one who stopped me in the walkway to tell me she can hear every noise in our apartment and proceeded to list from a piece of paper what time i got home each day, at 430pm. When i did my laundry at 5pm. Knowing we went to sleep at 1030pm. That was a weird conversation
