Welp, you have my attention!

Anyone know what time the show starts, ends, registration start and end times, judging start times and end times?

Try electricdreams.com or professormotor.com as they both deal in 60s era model cars.

Tamiya decal scissors are only 9 bucks and worth every penny. Get them.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I really am my own worst critic, as I try too hard to make the perfect car (most likely impossible). The nice thing about using washes is that small imperfections can be hidden while at the same time allows certain parts of the car to look more realistic. With the holidays over, I look forward to posting more projects here.

Its been a while since I have posted anything constructive so this is a Revell Compuware C5-R. This build took about 3 months to build, and was built specifically for the HLJ 2013 Plamo Contest. The build: -Tamiya Mica Blue -Rustoleum Lacquer Clear over decals -Wet sanded with 1000,2000,4000,6000,12000 -Polished with Scratch X -Model Factory Hiro fittings and hoses -Various carbon fiber patterns used throughout -Scratch built electric box -Scratchbuilt brake ducts -Model Car Garage photo etch kit -Misc details throughout I entered this build in the Intermediate category, and expected not to place whatsoever. To my surprise, I placed 3rd in the advanced category and won a 10,000 yen spending spree at HLJ. I felt the car was not all that great,and could have been better, but I ran out of time.

The Zen of Model Building

I once read a quote that said something along the lines of "treat every piece of the model as a model unto itself." -
Silent airbrush compressor?
sportandmiah replied to Baugher Garage's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Harbor freight sells a $60 airbrush compressor that is really quiet. About as noisy as an electric toothbrush. Had mine for a few years and is perfect. -
Sorry, should be in my signatur now.

Photo etched toggle switches
sportandmiah replied to JPolli's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
HLJ sells many different brands of switches (push and toggle). Top Studio, KA, and MFH come to mind. -

1/12 Enzos-where are they?
sportandmiah replied to Cato's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'd imagine most people aren't building them right away. I'd also guess the demand for build ups of anything foreign is not as high here as it is on other boards. I have 4 unbuilt Tamiya 1/12 car kits. But I'm slowly buying grade up parts a bit at a time, and once I have all my grade up parts I may start. Plus, I want my buidling skills to improve before I huild my 1/12.
