  1. The AXE deodorant lock-up is a result of runaway marketing.. Teenage boys are told on TV that it's the new Spanish Fly.. Shoplifting is common.
  2. Please correct me if I'm mis-informed, but spray paint is required to be locked up EVERYWHERE in Arizona.
  3. Patti and I stipulated that IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER would we live in a HOA to the Realtor. We stuck to our guns.. We'll grow old and die here.
  4. Beware! Big fit problem with the cockpit glass.. Test fit the heck outta it before you button everything up. Good luck with the build
  5. That racer was always the epitome of "Racecar" to me. VERY fine work, it looks so real...
  6. All scales, from 1/144 to 1/8th. Smaller stuff gets used in dioramas.
  7. Hi Joe, I thought I'd offer a suggestion. I've found that red styrene likes to bleed through paint. Shooting a primer coat of flat black prevents this. Good luck with your build. It's looking pretty clean. Chip
  8. I'm looking at building a replica of Ricky's car from Trailer Park Boys.. kinda says it all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
  9. Mat Irvine's Auto Modelling Masterclass is one of my favorites.
  10. The general rule of thumb is -Never shoot a lacquer over an enamel. The really cheap buck-a-can Wally paint are enamels.
  11. What? There's vodka in the Robot Babe? Party time!
  12. Thanks for the info! Just got a order in at Amazon for a spool of white -Sharpie colors make it any color I need.
  13. I'm a big fan of the older Dremel Mini-Mite. You can still find 'em new repurposed for cleaning golf clubs and dog grooming.. 15 bucks and they are perfect for plastic work. I still have a couple bought in the late 80's, and even the Ni-Cad batteries still hold a charge.
  14. I'd be buying multiples of "soft" tires for rock crawlers and boggers -that kinda thing.
  15. I have nothing but respect for truckers. So sad, that.
  16. Very realistic, nicely done.
  17. Anyone tried Olive Green w/ just a touch of Gold?
  18. When I was growing up, jigsaw puzzles, card games, and my first half-dozen models were all done with Mom weekday evenings. I have very fond memories of that.
  19. Sally Beauty Supply is in a lot of cities in the US. I get the best sanding sticks and use them wet most often. The paper-backed emery boards are no bueno as they melt in water. Sally's prices are much less than Squadron or Flex-I-File, too.
  20. Boy, is there ever room for someone to offer quality waterslide decals for these doobies (This and the Expedition cop car come to mind..) Good to see there's enough parts there to keep Mom or Dad at the kitchen table with the kid for an evening together. It's "complex" enough to not fall together in ten minutes.
