They didn't create a driving hazard, they created a game. The people that value the video game more than the lives of others created the driving hazard. Blaming the company the made the game (Which is not Nintendo), for people getting in accidents is idiotic.

good lord

there's a brand called Feeling43. They have the most intricate 1/43 kits I have ever seen. The cheapest kit from them I have come across was about $650, an they go up to $950. The problem is these kits are not like 1/24 kits, they require a lot of work and skill to make into nicely detailed models. Soldering, machining, etc. You can slap them together, but they'll look like a die cast. here is the Facebook of a guy I follow where he has multiple photo galleries that show the steps involved: https://www.facebook.com/Rosso43-762838000500578/?fref=ts

Some more progress on this, I am nearing completion, but it won't be for a while, This week will be busy for work and I don't think I will get any modeling time for 1-2 weeks. I also fixed the backwards bank of carbs, thanks to Andy for pointing that out

the best thing I have found for removing paint or residue precisely are these very firm, conical swabs. The make made my life so much easier, and are infinitely better than toothpicks. I bought them the one time I went into hobby lobby http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Tamiya-Craft-Cotton-Swabs-Medium-Pointed-Hobby-Weathering-Paint-Brush-Swab/371582498598

I like the new '29 Ford, so I got another, and 2 of the '30 Coupes

You got lucky, they go for 3x that amount now, if they ever pop up for sale at all

I use Scale Finishes. So far I have used Duplicolor Paint Shop Lacquer clear, and Gravity 2 part clear with good results.

I only have 2 high dollar kits. One of them is a holy grail for me. $500 for a limited run of 1/8 GT40 super detail engine. The other was $250 for a long out of production Scale Motorsports Super Detail Porsche 956 set. All the rest of my kits were $30 or less

thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it

this is great, I really like it.

I really want to go to this. Has anyone been before. I want to bring my wife and 2.5 year old. I need advice on how to keep my family sane. Earplugs for the kid, something to keep my wife occupied. We're young (30-32) but both have bad back injuries and can walk or sit for very long. I was wondering if they let you bring in seat pads and stuff. I still need to read over all their rules. Also, if any of you are amateur photographers, I would appreciate any advice on lenses and settings to use. I know it all depends, but a starting point would be helpful. I have a Canon 70D and a 70-300 4-5.6L lense and a Sigma 50mm ART I thought would be good for the paddock. If not, I have a 10-22 wide angle.

thanks, i knew something was off. I should be able to pop them off and turn them around

Like a dream. I did get a new airbrush setup though. It's a fan tip .5mm for my Grex, so I think that helped a bit, but when spraying out of my regular .3 for some other parts, it comes out nicely. Closest thing I can compare it to is Zero paints. I also use Scale Finishes, their metallic paints are super easy to use.

Thanks. I did chrome, then hot metal blue, then hot metal sepia, then smoke. When I finish, I will take better pics that show the finish more. It looks nice in person

What did you use for the coil springs, and what did you paint them with? I am doing the same build, and did the same thing with the shocks. I used solder for the coils and wasn't sure if they would hold paint build is looking good so far.

Been bouncing around from build to build. Sat down and got a bunch of parts painted on this one yesterday. Doing this build completely out of the box, which may explain why I am actually making progress. I may add spark plug wires, not sure yet. Gravity Colors Volkswagen Pacific Blue for the body. Clearcoat still on the way. I think I will use Tamiya's clear on this one, but I have trust issues with it. I usually clear parts before using Alclad polished finishes, but it left fisheyes everywhere on the parts. That's why the hub caps and other smooth parts aren't as reflective as normal. I meant to use Alclad Pale Gold for the carbs, but grabbed Gold Titanium instead. I think it worked out ok. I rubbed on some Kosutte Ginsan on the molded in linkage to make it stand out. Not sure if I will use any of the wheel trim parts yet, I like the black look.

I have recently been ordering from him, had great service as well. paints go down super smooth too

4 pages and nobody has mentioned Bullitt

I bought this brake kit for the Porsche 911 GT1 kit. Same rotors, hubs, etc. and I wanted to try them out. This is the most finicky PE set I have used so far, but it was well worth the time. PROS: Lots of detail High quality castings Easy to clean up, little to no flash incredible detail when done CONS Tiny parts Lots of parts Only 4 PE rotor faces, only enough to do one side of each rotor PE pieces are slightly oversized, so they need to be sanded down on the edges, flush with the resin parts This kit comes with wheels for the F1 GTR, but since I am using it for another car, I didn't need the wheels. Compared to the kit brakes. The camera perspective makes them look much bigger than they are. They are larger, but fit inside the kit wheels just fine. Here is a mockup The PE hub detail was glued on. On the piece on the right, you can see how the PE piece extends beyond the outside of the resin piece just a tiny bit. This may not seem like a big deal, but once it's all painted and installed, it can look a little goofy. On the piece on the left, you can see where I sanded the edge of the PE all the way around to be flush with the resin hub I cut off the molded in bleeder detail .5mm brass nuts in the background This is before the PE Brembo faces were sanded down. You can see how it looks like just a big plate glued on. After sanding, it looks more like one piece Took a while, but I managed to get all these made the same size Here is a mockup with the PE pieces. I ultimately decided not to use the PE rotor faces, since there was only enough included to do one side of each rotor, which I found a little annoying I decided to go all the way and use RB Motion turned bleeders Here is the tricky part, but worth the time. you can see side by side before and after The rotors were painted with Metalizer Titanium, then burnished with a Q-tip to get the metallic carbon effect. And they are done. For the red Brembo letters, I diluted Tamiya red with thinner and basically did a wash in the recessed detail. Since the Brembo Gold was lacquer, I could clean the rest off with acrylic thinner without damaging anything Parts Used Hobby Design Brake Kit RB Motion Bleeders Scale Hardware .5mm brass nuts Scratch wire Paint Used Model Master Titanium Metallizer for the rotors Alclad II Pale Gold for the hubs Gravity Colors Brembo Gold for the calipers Tamiya red acrylic for the lettering

black gives the tone of the chrome, you don't need to use black. As long as your surface is extremely smooth and glossy, the chrome will be reflective and have depth. You can manipulate the hue, or color of the chrome with the color of the base coat.

in the last few days, this game has increased Nintento's revenue $7.5BILLION. I am of the Pokemon generation, but I never played it. I was always playing Micro Machines (on Nintendo) or sports and racing games. I could just never get into Sci Fi or those cartoon character games. On the bright said, people are exercising and meeting new friends. I think overall, it's a good thing, even if I have no interest in it. Of course, people have to be reminded not to drive and be on their phones, but even before the game, they had to be told this. I haven't heard of anyone dying though, that seems a little far fetched. Someone did find a dead body, and a few people have been robbed by being lured to certain areas. There are also people reporting seeing multiple police cars parked together while the officers hunt for Pokemons or whatever. That is not very reassuring.

Musk has made several of his patents free and open for everyone to use, I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually made this available as well.

You can already hack into cars and control them. It's happened several times. Jeep had a recall because of a vulnerability like this.
