Quick GMC

It took me a while to get the hang of it. i had an issue with paint leaking from the trigger area, but got it resolved and it works great I stopped worrying about PSI and I bought the quick change adapter with the thumb screw air adjustment. Now I go off feel and sound and it is much better. I appreciate everyone's comments. I usually ruin every build with my terribly painting skills, but I am getting better. Also, the Scale Finishes paint is incredible. The Duplicolor clear is ready to use from the can and works great. I'm super happy with this.

Some progress from last night

I think it's safe to post this now. I am cursed by my WIP, something always goes wrong and it's usually the body. This is the first body I have had a pretty much perfect paint job on. I had some issues with the engine cover and some paint chipped. I stripped the engine cover and I am getting ready to repaint it. The color is Grigio Silverstone from Scale FInishes, with a Dupli-Color lacquer clear. The clear was lightly sanded and polished. I usually like to add a lot of detail, but this one is straight out of the box, with the included PE parts. I got lazy and didn't test fit everything. There is a problem with the rear driveshafts and when I went to install the wheels, the camber was super jacked up. Trying to carefully adjust some parts, the whole BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH thing started breaking apart. The half shafts are broken and I don't even care any more. The rest of this car looks fine. I pretty much just have to do the interior and it's done. I have a lineup of Ferraris to build with detail. With this being my least favorite, I started it first to get some practice on these non-Tamiya cars. Putting my new spray booth to good use. Outside shot Before stripping

Chang is Chinese, not Japanese. If you're going to make a stupid joke, make sure you get it right

A few other boards I go on have a "thanks" button, to show appreciation for help, or a thank you for a contributing post. I haven't seen the like button anywhere else.

My friend's uncle is Reeves Callaway. I get to see progress pics of Callaways on Facebook. I'm going to send him this thread.

These are all different. Notice the last image posted of the green hornet, it's made from very thin, cheap paper. The model is crushing the box. The other ones are made from glossy thick stock, much more durable, but much more expensive. For you guys that make your own decals, I would imaging you'd be able to make your own of these. If this guy is selling them for $45, he's making money, otherwise why do it? If you're willing to pay this much, make your own and it will probably be a little less. Design it, have it printed at Kinkos. Instead of someone making and selling these, sell the file that people can take to a printer. Sell them for $5-$10 for the document, then the person takes it to Kinkos to have as many as they want printed. Design more for newer cars, etc.

Do they have a lot of kits? I might be in Tempe soon

I bought a 6 foot stainless workbench from Sears that I put in the corner of the room. I have a bad back, so sitting at bar height on a stool was killing me. I took the frame off the bench, emptied my closet, and mounted the top in there with a nailer strip at desk height. Now I use an office chair. The closet shelf is used to store my kits. I installed another shelf in between that one and the bench to hold my other stuff. Then I took a crappy 5 foot computer desk I was going to throw out and turned it into an airbrush station. The filing cabinet, which is too small for legal size files, holds my compressor. the other drawer holds my Tamiya spray cans and the tower area on the left holds everything else. I built a booth for the top, cut holes in the wall of my house to vent outside. Now I can flip a switch at midnight and airbrush inside without any smell or noise.

In the super bowl this past sunday? Cause thats not what happened. As a Lions fan, I hate the patriots more than the Packers, but they didnt start the fight It doesnt matter, both teams lost their composure. Pretty childish. I understand the heartbreak when youre so close, but at a professional level you just cant do that. There have been several incidents on the Lions that I wish didnt happen that are embarassing, but I dont deny they happened

They have a dark brown too I think

If you look at the rear picture, there is a large slot. You screw a wood mounting block that comes inside, to the wall. Then you slide the shelf over it and it sets in place. The shelf lowers about a 1/2" down onto the wood block. There is a lip on the inside top part of the actual shelf, so it can't slide off. If there is an earthquake, it might slip around a little, but it won't come down. Use some museum wax on the tires to stick it to the shelf or something and you're good to go. You can take the wax off and I would guess some denatured alcohol would remove the rest of the wax residue. Unless you paint the tire treads, it should be harmless. Here. Don't mind the screws, I don't know what I was doing. The screws go in the other way to mount it to the wall. This is what it comes with Here I am doing the opposite; Sliding the block in and lifting it up. When you mount to the wall, you will be sliding the shelf onto the block and setting it down.

I hung a few of these small shelves in our son's room to put a couple things on. I had one I didn't install sitting on my desk at home. I took out my 67 Chevelle that had a major accident and repaired it. I went to put it away when I looked at the shelf and thought it might be just the right size. I got them at Home Depot, I believe they come in a two pack. they also have several other sizes. Everyone is always moaning about space issues, these you can hand anywhere on the wall. When done right, they are solid. Here is the shelf at Home Depot. I cannot find the 8" shelf on the website, but if you go in the store they have them there. Comes with all the mounting hardware Back

what game were you watching? The Seahawks started the fight, that's why their player was ejected. I don't know any Seahawks fans that don't acknowledge they started the fight. Also the Patriots were called on a LOT of stuff last night, including offensive pass interference. I hate the Patriots, but there was no one-side reffing in that game.

I use stamps.com. I can print postage at my house. One thing ive learned is do not use their flat rate boxes, it almost doubles the price If you really want to be cheap take all the bags out, flatten the box halves and put it in a large padded envelope I would say anywhere betwee. $20-$30 depending on the size.

Your science is correct, your information is not. The temp on the field was low 50's.

the fact that they put "gate" into the name just makes it that much more of a joke. I hate the Patriots more than any other team in the league, but this is just comically sad. First they say 2 psi low, then they say they don't know exactly. Then they say a locker room attendant is under suspicion. If they did it intentionally, they should be punished. However it doesn't matter and would not have changed anything in this particular instance. There is no reason to reveal anything before the super bowl. The Colts got blown out by a lot more than any low psi footballs could have possibly helped.

Look for the Canon T3i. They are phasing it out and they have been on sale for great prices. Best Buy recently had a deal for $550 I think, with 2 lenses. I got one a few months ago and I really like it. If you learn how to use it, you can take some seriously good photos with an entry level camera. A canon 1.8 lens is pretty cheap now, i think $150. That would be good for shooting models I think. The lower the number, the more it blurs out the background. I'm saving up for a Sigma 1.4

just because you don't find it reasonable doesn't make it so. When the majority of customers of a certain business prefer to give that business money and wait whatever time is necessary to receive the product, the majority basically decides what is reasonable. This is not an everyday business. Go buy some resin from a company that will give you a one week turn around and see how good it is. You are absolutely entitledto purchase elsewhere and have your opinion. But when you repeatedly bold, italic and quote the same word over and over, it doesn't mean you get to decide what that word means. Personally, for me I find it reasonable to wait several months for a high quality product that I cannot find elsewhere.

the funny thing is if he hired people to help him cast the quality wouldn't be where he wants it then people would complain about that too. When you have an ultra custom product for an ultra niche market, you don't get quality, fast and cheap. the prices are good, the quality is top notch, it's not going to be fast.

there was a big news story when this came out a couple years ago, people were outraged. The cat was already dead and rather than throwing it in the dumpster, I thought this was a pretty clever idea. Catcopter is awesome

I cant remember what forum I saw it on, maybe an airplane model forum. They had their regular showcase areas for everyone to post their work then they had one conglomerate showcase section where dif you posted your model it was fair game for criticism. If you posted in the normal sections that nobody was allowed to criticize only comment, but if you posted in the special section then you were basically asking for constructive criticism. I think that was pretty effective from what I saw.

Thats going a little far. He may not.be the best businessman, but theres no need to call him a crook. Ive had my fair share of frustration from Kevin, but I eventually received everything I ordered

It is pretty well known that there is a wait for HRM stuff. If someone has it.in stock its because theyve had it for a while. I have been informed by a few reputable people that there is a backlog of jobs and he does the best he can. With trade shows and other stuff, I dint think he ever catches up to the point where he casts your order right when you place it Check with your vendor first. Also have tour vendor contact harold if possible to give you an ETA. As someone who is fed up with with waiting for orders with no comminication, I have no problem waiting for my HRM stuff. It will come, and when it does, it will be worth the wait.
