I have never even had any interest in stamps, or cared what they were, but I found these at the post office. I saw them and said "Hey, I'll take those ones!"

Anything you apply with a brush will show texture. It will look like lumpy aluminum

I just threw up everywhere

It's a nice idea, but it looks like it handles horribly.

Stumbled across this thread on another forum. I'll be stocking up on AMT Pro Street kits enjoy http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85687

I was a attacked by a customers dog two weeks ago. It was a Chihuahua luckily but still got a good chunk of my leg. I'm lucky it wasn't a big dog. Sounds like you're going to be alright. Just make sure you're up to date on your tetnis shot

If they hadn't been hoarding chemicals and reported their quantities like they should have, it would have been only a fraction of that size and possibly prevented anyone from dying.

This is a picture of the blast area. Notice the playground across the street. This is insane. Nothing graphic http://i.imgur.com/nZaXjZ8.jpg Also, here is an article about the plant. 400lbs or more of ammonium nitrate needs to be reported, they had 270 TONS, and haven't had an OSHA inspection in 27 years http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/20/us-usa-explosion-regulation-idUSBRE93J09N20130420 These guys are in serious trouble

I own an online store in another industry. We're a small company. We do okay and we're growing, but it costs MONEY to stock everything. A lot of the stuff we sell we keep in stock, others we don't because it doesn't sell often and it ties up capital to have it sitting on the shelf. I wouldn't automatically assume they're lazy. It doesn't make sense for someone to spend money to keep something on the shelf that doesn't sell often. If you order an odd part that you might think is normal, they probably won't have it. They'll order it when you order it, and probably order and extra to keep on the shelf for the next time. I have two businesses, and the one I mentioned I take no money from. My partner and I take all our profit and invest it into inventory. This allows us to grow and expand, but slowly. Retailers have to spend their money wisely, ESPECIALLY when you're in a very small, niche market like model cars It's hard to earn a living off items that are priced sow low. Sure, resin stuff is expensive, but there are a lot of materials involved that cost money, and time to cast the parts. Unless you have a smooth operation and a huge percentage of the marketshare, say like one of the bigger name resin body guys, it's hard to get out there and let people know. THEN, there's that threshold of getting orders out on time and getting flooded with orders. Someone comes on here and says "hey, these guys are awesome". Well that 2-order week just turned into a 10-order week and they have to buy (and wait for) more casting materials, spend more time, customers get tired of waiting etc. there's a point where you can maintain your output, and a point where you have to cross that line and get help. Help costs money, which means less capital invested in inventory. It's a battle, every day, for small business, especially when you have a ton of competition. With THAT being said, We have a number that goes to both our phones, both of our personal cell phones are listed, both our personal emails are listed and our company email is listed, as well as our facebook page and we are constantly on a number of industry forums. We are ALWAYS available. lack of communication and ignored emails is unacceptable.

what about stripping Zero paints and Tamiya paints. Will the 20% water/acetone work? Lacquer thinner will literally melt the plastic.

I have a temper too, but modelling helps a lot. If I get stuck or break something, I move on to something else until I have a plan to fix it. I don't have to finish, no deadline, I can do whatever I want. Modelling after work helps me stay calm throughout the week. As someone who has lost a fortune in the RC car world from selling off everything twice, don't get rid of your stuff. Just put it away until you want to build again. I dumped off thousands of dollars worth of stuff for hundreds and it cost me thousands to get back in again. It's the worst thing you can do.

Tamiya primer, I use 1500.

in that price range you're looking at a netbook, which does not have a cd drive in it. You'll either want to look for used, or up your budget to $350 or so, where you can get exactly what you're looking for. Best Buy has some around $350. You can go check them out.

how about some pictures?

Came across this recent set of pictures and thought you'd all enjoy http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=978599

That's pretty tough looking. I like that.

Wow that's hard to hear. Hope everyone made it out okay. I'll donate a kit when you're ready to build again, just send me a message.

Dwayne, kits very well packed, arrived quickly. Good communication, Great trader

You *Finnished* this one today Looks good! I need to get me a van kit.

Enamel is easy to polish. I sand with 1500 if needed, otherwise 3200 micromesh and up, then polish with a compound. I use Duplicolor engine enamel

I'm not sure what is going to be more difficult for me, learning how to use one of those, or coming up with the money to buy one.
