Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve worked on this, but I finally got the windows in the wall panels and added my ‘lights’. Plan to get the walls permanently mounted sometime this coming week.

Corona Virus (Covid 19) and Model Kits
tbill replied to Daddyfink's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Very good point! We all like to come here to relax and forget about serious stuff, but this is a great statement in my opinion. Well said Erik. -
Corona Virus (Covid 19) and Model Kits
tbill replied to Daddyfink's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think possibly his statement was based on statistics, seems viral outbreaks are more common there than here. I could be totally wrong ( and probably am), but that’s my take on it. and usually, any product hold up from the states is usually labor strike related. -

In reference to those posters pictured, I’ve always wondered if the ‘script’ on them becomes straight if you’re ......, well, you know.......? -

BRBO 2020 Mystery build
tbill replied to Vince66's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I spend way too much time looking for 1/25 parts that hit ‘the deck’, I’d never manage something of that size! very cool project! -
Thank you all for the kind words. Nothing pic worthy, but more parts have color on them tonight, stay tuned.....

You never cease to amaze ! Beautiful work and attention to detail, just stunning all the way around! I won’t lie, a few of you fellas that make a model out of nothing, at times make me want to quit all together, yet at the same time, inspire me to try cutting some plastic to make what I have in mind, so, thanks to you guys that make things out of nothing, you are truly an inspiration to many of us here.

I could be wrong, but it seems most of the moebius initial runs are right around 5k units weather they are model king issues or not. Might be a ‘let’s see how we do with these ‘ thing rather than making 10k of something and having to sit on inventory if they don’t move. Again, I could be totally wrong, just my thoughts on it.

How to mount a Radiator in a Hot Rod?
tbill replied to Richard Bartrop's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I’m thinking in 1:1 the grille shell would have mounting brackets on it to mount to the frame , and I would think the radiator would have some sort of brackets to hold it to the shell. -

What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)

The one I frequent seems to have a smaller car model area, as noted , more diecast. I also used to get tamiya tape there, looks to have been replaced by the hobby lobby brand tape, along with a few other items that look the same, but are now hobby lobby branded.....
