  1. Just wondering, trying to narrown down my search
  2. I had a rough week as well. I'm nursing a herniated disc. I've been walking hunched over for the last week, I'm 30.
  3. Let's please make an effort to not turn this thread into another cluster*****. Everyone is entitled to their own taste in music, and while I hate plenty of what's out there, I can't blame someone for what makes them feel good when they listen to it.
  4. I'm not really in a financial position to buy a lathe, but I would make it happen if I had the design skills. I'd pinch pennies, Maybe later in life. I would be ecstatic to be able to machine my own parts.
  5. I don't think he is trying to recoup through selling, rather it paying off in the long run by not having to constantly buy pieces from other machinists. You could easily spend $100+ on one 1/24 car. If you build A LOT you could eventually break even. But just alleviating the cost by making your own stuff, or just by having the freedom to do whatever you want is worth IMO. If you have the budget for it.
  6. that's the review I did on the Hobby Designs kit I just got. The kit comes with the seat belt material and the metal hose fittings. Definitely worth it. I am most likely going to end up buying the Revell kit to compare parts, and I will see if the PE kit will work with that also. it should.
  7. I can't believe people are getting bent out of shape over car jokes. They're cars. Significant cars yes, but they're still just machines. I didn't think it was possible to get offended by something like that.
  8. My friend's uncle owns Calloway, they have a car on loan there, he told me it was pretty close to the hole.
  9. guys I dropped the ball on this one, sorry. I am looking for some I can use on the Cobra 427. The IDA's I think are the right ones. I will contact R&MofM. I have not ordered their stuff before but I hear nothing but good things.
  10. He's not wrong, but it doesn't mean Danica's presence doesn't mean anything. Inevitably, somewhere down the road, women will be racing and winning, and Danica will be remembered as someone who initiated that. I don't think it's fair to say she's not a race car driver (Kyle Petty), but if she's not winning, she's not winning. And Richard is right, because she's a woman, she's garnered a lot of attention and it's been good for the sport.
  11. The singing was live, the instruments from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were pre recorded for that show. They released a statement explaining why. Whether or not you like the music, the singing on both parts was great. I'm not a fan of Bruno Mars' music, but he is an extremely talented singer.
  12. try mini motor and reckless racing 2
  13. some pictures might help
  14. I think the idea behind that, which comes from a lot of the sports car model guys from what I have seen, is that it is done with the intention or idea that the body will be sanded at some point. Using a certain amount ensures you can safley sand the color layer enough to do what you need to do without going through to the primer. I don't think I use an ounce, but I use 1/2-3/4 ounce on most cars, because I'm not very good and I have a pretty good idea I will need to sand it smooth.
  15. do you have any pics of the chassis?
  16. The single reason I got back into building 7 years ago, after not touching a model since I was 10, is phot etched pieces. i have always had an attraction to detailed miniature stuff and when I saw what was available for detailing stuff, I sold all my RC cars and got into models
  17. No. Same reason modern baseball cards won't be worth what the old cards are. People wise up and start collecting, rather than sticking them in the spokes of their bike.
  18. I have seen some amazing carbon fiber done by spraying black or gunmetal, then covering with women's pay hose and spraying a metallic silver
  19. I meant the details. Was it an accident, did he kill himself intentionally, etc. It seems clear at this point he overdosed on heroin. A lot of people will dismiss him as a junkie, and that's fine, but addiction is brutal. Some people just can't climb out of the hole
  20. it's not so black and white. Until you have been truly addicted, or been close to someone that has suffered from it, you won't understand,
  21. I read that he had been clean for 23 years and only recently fell off the wagon. Truly sad. A lot of addicts dies this way, taking their "usual" doses after a long dry spell. it hits their body hard. I don't know the circumstances of his detah obviously, but this is certainly plausible. I'm sad to see him go.
