  1. Blood Sweat and Tears released their first album before Chicago Oh Boy by Buddy Holly
  2. I have an old Heller 1/8 BMW 100RT motorcycle kit that's pretty awesome- the engine cylinders are built by stacking individual cooling fins using a little jig supplied in the kit.
  3. I've used both pure denatured (SLX) alcohol and 91% isopropyl alcohol and found that the 91% works better as the water helps to ameliorate the rather strong drying agent in Tamiya acrylic, allowing it to flow out and lay down smoother. Same with brush-painting.
  4. This is possibly the cheesiest cover of this song ever
  5. Fooling Yourself by Styx I've seen them a couple of times- once in Chicago opening for BTO and then a couple of years later in Hawaii
  6. It sure smells like it.
  7. Another Somebody done Somebody Wrong Song by BJ Thomas
  8. I love the phase-shifted sax solo on that song.
  9. #2) Athena by the Who #3) I'll Take You There by the Staples Singers #4) Modern Love by David Bowie
  10. They're Avalon guitars, made in Japan.
  11. Yes, when I'm shooting acrylic. I use Berryman's B12 Chemtool carb cleaner when I shoot lacquer- it's WAY aggressive, but haven't had a problem as my Badger 100GF has a teflon seal.
  12. ARII, Airfix, Entex, Heller, IMAI, Gunze Sangyo, and Testors also made Pantera kits. The Fujimi kit is likely the best of the lot.
  13. The Sally's here has 12,000 grit nail sticks.
  14. I'm happy to hear that it's not just me
  15. Daikaiju is awesome.
  16. I thin Tamiya acrylics for airbrushing with 91% isopropyl alcohol, and it works fine.
  17. I put everything in a gallon ziploc bag, spray in the oven cleaner and seal it up, then the fumes (which I've found are as effective as the actual liquid) are contained. When it's done I just open the bag and fill it with water and dump the slurry out, and rinse the body or parts with water. I don't even need to use gloves that way. I also rinse out the plastic bag so it can be re-used.
  18. "Move forward" was my friend's only cry In deeper to somewhere we could lie and rest for the day with cold in the way were we ever colder on that day a million miles away we seemed from all of eternity
  19. I usually stick with one until it's finished- right now it's a '48 Ford and I'm still trying to decide what color to paint it.
  20. I'm also in the fold and use the edge camp.
  21. Here Comes the Rain Again by the Eurythmics
  22. You Take my Self-control by Laura Branigan I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder
  23. #4) Badge by Cream
  24. I've probably seen it- I play that song.
