  4. #2 Tangled up in Blue by Bob Dylan #3 I should have known better by the Beatles
  5. Ain't no Sunshine by Bill Withers
  6. Some metallics have enough clear to be able to wetsand it- Tamiya TS53 for one.

  8. Sometimes I won't work on a model for weeks and then I'll get it finished in a few days, usually the night before a model contest.
  9. Conga by Miami Sound Machine
  10. I rotate the wheels around until all 4 touch, then glue 'em up solid
  11. I've posted about a dozen songs no one has gotten, most of them are from fairly major bands' earlier releases or the B sides of popular 45s
  12. I just tape up a couple of sheets of white paper behind the model and position my magnifier lamp to provide light where I want it
  13. I'd take them out of the storage bin while they're still gassing out I usually wait a few days to a week before wetsanding, then let the sanded model sit for as long as I can stand it before polishing it out with Novus #2
  14. GT750 motors don't have cooling fins
  15. I've never heard either of those songs, but then I live in a sort of self-imposed cultural vacuum
  16. Looks more like air-cooled Kawasaki H2 750s to me.
  17. Bob Smith CA+ and Loctite 5-minute epoxy are pretty much all I use..
  18. Yes, good one! I don't think this band has been posted yet: He was proud, he was cool, he was nobody's fool And to take away a life was his only rule He was tough, he was mean, he was a killing machine And to show a little mercy wasn't his kinda scene
  19. They're supposed to look like a fishing boat on radar. I was on an old Adams class destroyer in the '70s
  20. He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall he hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
  21. Strange Brew by Cream
  22. You know I actually saw them live when they were doing their "Get Closer" tour Guess I missed that song- the newest album I have of theirs is Learning to Crawl
  23. Must be a newer song- I'm pretty well-versed in their earlier stuff.
  24. Right you are!
  25. Being able to fix your mistakes is possibly the most important skill in modeling, at least as practiced by myself. Good luck with it!
