Quick GMC

Downdrafts. All the ones I have are very nice, just way too small. Like this: http://bdpmotorsports.com/engine304.jpg

I am hoping to jolt someone's memory I want to build my Cobra 427 with a Weber setup. I am combining the Revell King Cobra Kit (for the detail) and the Fujimi Deluxe kit (for the turned metal and white metal parts) and I also have the PE set for this. It is going to be a detailed build, but this is holding me up. Here is my problem: I have the Fujimi Kit and the Revell King Cobra Kit. The Revell has far more detail, so I am using that.The Fujimi's Webers are terribly plain, and too small to fit on the Revel kit. I have purchased the following. 1. Historic Racing Miniatures Weber manifold and carbs 2. Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland Weber manifold and carbs 3. TDR Innovations Weber manifold and carbs All of these are too small for the kit engine, even for the Fujimi engine, which is a tad smaller than the Revell one. Does anyone know if a Weber manifold and carb setup was ever included in any Revell/Monogram kit that might work?

They're still just cars. This one gets driven pretty regularly, art sits on a shelf. It's a nice car, but it's a car.

I used to work on Brian's wife's Jaguar when I was a tech in Rancho Mirage. He would drop her off in that burnt orange Deuce. Loud as hell, pissed off the service manager every time.

I am a little spoiled. Within the last month; Aventador, Murcielago, Jaguar F-type R, Countless Aston Martins, F430, 360 convertible, 355, More Porsches than I can count, but there was one Blue/Red GT3 RS, 1st Gen Viper, new Viper

Cop's excited about the car, no big deal.

Holy mother of baby Jesus. Some very rare cars in there, not to mention 2 F40 LM's http://www.bingosportsworld.com/

Sarcasm? I hope

I love the subject, but I hated the model. Finished 90% of it and threw it in a box. I'm a little snobby I guess when it comes to fitment. I may try this kit again some day, but I was pretty close to just punching it.

How does it not look good for Tony? I know he is known for being a hot head, but I don't see anything in the video that indicates it was intentional, but I wasn't there. It's a terrible tragedy, but the other driver should have never left the car, let alone walk across a track with race cars on it. That's the only known fact at this point. Everyone wants to immediately pin the blame on Tony because of his past temperament, but just because he's a hot head sometimes, doesn't mean he did this on purpose. I think we should wait for the facts to come out and the report to be completed.

This is very tragic. I wasn't there, I don't know exactly what went down, but what the hell was he doing running out on the track during a race?

Model Master has an engine gray. Maybe that mixed with black will give you what you need, if you can't find a color you like.

Can someone explain Round 2 to me? I have been pretty bummed with the AMT kits I have gotten, they seem to have a ton of flash and require an absurd amount of prep, but I like the subjects. Is Round 2 re-tooling everything they release, or only some of them? The 66 Nova PS I had a lot of trouble with.

Great Planes brand pump spray accelerator is what I use. Mild smell

Here is a good build thread. Carbon fiber was used in this one. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/?showtopic=25777 Here is the real thing.Looks like some of the linkage is carbon, and another is not http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5146/5737895879_9a59ba5fa1_b.jpg

1/16 Fujimi F40 detail set Full detail set with turned wheels and everything else for the Ferrari 250TR It came with a nice plate for display

So far Revell's 57 Ford has been the best domestic kit. It has Tamiya quality fitment. Not all Tamiya's have great fitment, but for the most part, they are very easy to put together. Tamiya's R390 GT1 practically falls together, but can be finicky with all the small parts.

This is Grigio Silverstone, a Ferrari color from Scale Finishes. I was pretty happy with the scale of the flakes. Under direct lighting Direct sun light outside Outside sun light, but under shade direct incoming sunlight, but not direct light on the model In person it is much less dramatic. This is the hardest color that I have ever taken pictures of. To get a nice picture requires a lot of light, and it magnifies the flakes.

I was happy with ferrari grigio Silverstone from jameston. Dark gray metallic. I'll post pics later

The desk I use for the spray booth is an old computer desk i got from Office Depot. I over paid for it, it's just compressed garbage board. I was going to happily destroy it and throw it in the trash when I realized I could still use it. It's very wobbly, so I anchored it to the wall. The office desk is one piece granite with travertine bases. It's pretty nice, but because I'm in the business it was cheaper to make a desk out of stone than it would be to buy a wood one. The drawers in the old desk hold all my spray cans, large and small, and all my solvent cans. The opening that is supposed to hold the computer tower holes my compressor. It works nice right now, but I will run out of space in the future. The nice thing is in a few years when my son is old enough to sleep in a normal bed, I will be getting the bed out of this room, and I can have some more space.

These just snap in place. I bought 2 extra ones. They were filled with expanding spray foam, so I can use them as plugs. When not in use, I put the plugs in and it keeps heat and dirt out. There is enough room on this desk to drop the acrylic box over the top. My corner

Here is the rest of the room Bed, desk, massage chair and Hobby corner paperless office. Other than super important documents, everything is scanned and digitized, then shredded work bench is mounted on the wall with a nailer and steel L brackets. I couldn't stand sitting on a stool any more and the base was too high so I eliminated it. The bench is in the closet to maximize space.

I posted a week or so ago in the questions section and there was some good discussion about how to properly set up a spray booth. After reading what others had to say, I decided to invest some money and build my own, fully enclosed booth. However, my wife and parents bought me the Artograph 1530 spray booth for my birthday and I don't have the heart to return it, so I am going to make it work. I have rearranged the room for the 3rd and hopefully the last time. I have my own business, as well as work full time for my dad's company. I work out of my home in the evenings for now, but will eventually expand into my own building. For the time being I needed a proper office. This room triples as an office, hobby room and guest room for traveling family members. I had 3 major concerns with painting in my house. 1. dust coming through the AC ducts. This was fixed by adding a filter inside the vent to filter incoming air. 2. Opening the window to vent the paint outside. With the wind and dust in my area, I would need a sealed unit to vent outside. Opening the window to insert my board would just allow more sand and dust in. This was fixed by cutting holes in my house and ducting right through the wall. No more opening the window. 3. dust in the air. For those of you that followed the thread saw the conditions I live in. There is dust, always, period. The booth is open in the front. I have not solved this issue yet, but plan on building an acrylic box/cover to go over the booth, with holes in the front to stick my arms through. No messing around. I cut 2 four inch holes through my wall to the outside. This cost me a lot of money because stucco eats hole saw bits. 3 saw bits to make 2 holes, but it was worth it. I used dryer vents on the outside and some type of coupling flange on the inside with a quick release. I bought 2 extra flanges with the quick release. I filled them with expanding spray foam and they act as plugs. When the booth is not in use, I plug the holes to prevent dust and heat coming in If I ever need to eliminate the holes, I can filled them with expanding foam insulation and patch and finish. no harm done. trimmed with flange installed Nice and clean, snug and sealed. this is what it looks like outside.
