Have ever twisted the neck off of a paint bottle? I've been building for nearly 50 years now. I've never seen or heard of that happening. Scott

I'd love to find a box. An empty one would be fine. It's just funny that we use to thing asbestos was safe. Scott

Paint Booths & Safe Ventilation?
unclescott58 replied to Synister's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Your from Australia? It looks like you've got snow outside your window in that one picture. What am I seeing there? Scott -
I should have one in my collection in another week or two. Scott

Car Magazines... How Can I Not?
unclescott58 replied to Tom Geiger's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've just quit subscribing to Hemming's Classic Car. Like others, I too have no more room for more magazines. Especially ones I will only read once. I liked the magazine. And I've got every issue up to this last December's. But, I never go back and re-read them. I not wowed by new cars. So I don't get Motor Trend, Car and Driver, or Road & Track anymore. (Plus Road & Track dumped their long time PS feature! The best thing in their magazine.) I still pickup model car magazines, but off the news stands. I only subscribe to Collectible Automobile anymore. Which again I have every issue and do go back to for reading pleasure and reference material. Scott -
Mr. Obsessive's "New" Obsession! :)
unclescott58 replied to MrObsessive's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Very cool Bill. I'm glad you got a car with personality, and not another appliance. Your a car guy. You should drive something cool. (And so should I. Someday.) I like it. Scott -
Chrysler isn't Chrysler anymore
unclescott58 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Why 1969? With your thinking, why not '71? The last year for the second generation Hemi. And last year before the new line of Dodge pickup trucks. I'm not getting why you picked 1969. I see no big changes in product or management at Chrysler that year. To the rest of us, welcome to the new world. I don't like it. But, there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Scott -
Ah, a polar bear plunge. People here in Minnesota have been do this for years. Mainly around New Years Day. I've lived here all of my life. And I'm of Finnish and Norwegin descent. In fact the the Finns have a tradition of jumping in frozen lakes or rolling in the snow after taking a Sauna (the greatest thing the Finns ever invented). But not I! I admit it. I'm a wimp. I admire your courage Dave. But question your sanity. Scott

What is sad John, here in Minnesota, were you get snow all of time, I see people driving around without clearing the snow off of their windows all of time! You'd think living around here, everybody would have snow brush and/or an ice scraper. For about six months out of year, I keep one on my floor in the back seat of my car. Sorry to say to all of you from California and Arizona, but I am having a hard time feeling sorry for you. The snow you got is nothing. And I'm sure it will be gone pretty quick. In the mean time, we be freezing our you know whats off, and breaking our backs shoveling, until at least March. Sometimes into April. And winter started off fast and hard here in November. So, enjoy your little taste of winter. And think warm thoughts about us poor fools in the northern climes. (Oh, and don't really feel too sorry for us in Minnesota. Those in Upper Michigan and a up state New York usually have it worst than we do.) Scott

1/25 AMT '72 Chevy Blazer Crew Chief

Another Round 2 reissue I'm looking forward to. Scott -
'84 K30 longbox-done
unclescott58 replied to dieseldawg142's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Fantastic. Nice job. Scott -
Yea, I know they only made 7. I heard 4 were left hand drive. The other 3 right hand. But, they were the only original GT40s road legal, available in the United States at the time. I use to think they were ugly. With their round headlamps and longer tail. But, over the years they've grown on me. And it would be fun to have a model of one. But, I'm not holding my breath on waiting for that one. Scott

Another one of those classic old AMT kits I love. I built the cabriolet again a few years ago. And I will be picking up the coupe when it hits the shelves. I love the way Round 2 reissues these old classics. The old style box art, and restoration of missing parts. I'm enjoying modeling more than ever. Scott

Very nice. Like others, I too like the color. Scott

"Holy Grail" Models?
unclescott58 replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The talk of Tom Daniel, brings up three of his designs I'd like to see come back. The Mean Maverick. One of great Christmas gift models (along with the Renwall Visable V-8) I ever got as a kid. And the Poison Pinto and Rat Vega. The Poison Pinto needs to be green version. There are other Tom Daniel designs I love. But, I've been lucky. They've reissued most of those and I bought copies. Some of my favorites of his that have been re-released, are the Street Fighter, Rommel's Rod, and the S'cool Bus. The Street Fighter and Rommel's Rod are finished. I need to get cracking on the S'cool Bus. I also have other TD designs like the Red Baron and Beer Wagon (built as a Mountain Dew Wagon). And I keep thinking about maybe picking up an Ice "T".

Defective Round Two kits
unclescott58 replied to iBorg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've had no problem getting replacement parts from Round 2 or Revell in the past. I've found customer service to be pretty good for both companies. Scott -
I love him sliding over to the passenger side of his car to threaten Milton Berle. Then realizing no body is at the wheel his car, he screams and quickly slides back to the driver's side. A second or two later he's doing it all over again. That and Johnathan Winters wrecking gas station are the two best things in a movie with lots of great moments of great comedy. Funny from Jimmy Durate "kicking the bucket", all the way through to the end. I'm glad I have it DVD. In fact talking about watching movies tomarrow night to celebrate New Years. This maybe the movie we have to watch. Scott
