  1. i dont remember seeing this one. its awesome
  2. wow. this is quite interesting news
  3. I finally got my 2nd place holy grail. I got it for a great deal too. The box is very good and its sealed inside. My holy grail is the mr sandman kit with the buggy, but this one is a very close second. i love the 4 wheeler that come with this. I have a perfect diorama idea for this with my bronco and a couple other things. Man, its coming together now. I am so happy
  4. thank you so much. this is exactly it.
  5. i could have sworn there was a thread about this, but i cant find it at all. I am looking for a list of the revell kits that have addon stuff. like the gone fishing kit with the ramcharger, trailer and boat. does anyone remember this thread
  6. in case anyone cares. i tested the decals on a test model painted a dark color. the decals look good. since i printed on white decals, there is no loss of color that i can see. however, i think i really dont like how it looks on a model. It just doesnt look right. im not sure why. i am going to skip it for now and paint the model the other way i had planned and maybe will attempt it again in the future.
  7. This arrived today. came sealed, but i tore it open right away. i think im going to keep it as a police car, maybe a sheriff. i dont know what decals i have, i doubt the ones it came with will work I am excited
  8. I learned last night that my printer has a hidden higher printing resolution. I was test printing the decal and it looked fuzzy and dull and generally terrible. my plan was to just have staples print it for me on their good printer However i got the new decal paper last night and i did a test print. However, i was messing with different options and found that if i change the paper type to shiny photo paper, it brings up a completely different menu. I chose high quality there and magically the printer started printing very slowly. when it finished, it actually had the same quality that the image had. I did i light coat of clear coat and it looks great. I did get a couple of dust spots in the clear so i need to do it again in my print box where dust wont fall on it. Im going to try to cut it and put it on a test model today to see how it looks. It really is important because if it works the model will be painted a different color and i have been holding off on painting it based on the decal
  9. i somehow got myself 4x the amt 1963 corvette. and by somehow, i mean i bought three of them from amazon with a birthday giftcard. i have 4 of them now
  10. she tried to say my wife told her it was ok, but i had called my wife before i went out there and she was surprised and annoyed. she kept saying what if the babies want to come back to sleep, now they cant. i said to the lady, i will take care of it, you dont need to clean my door. they were there at 8am when my wife left and they were gone at noon when i went out for lunch. at 2pm she was hosing down the door. like jeez lady, was the hidden nest bothering you that much not that i need to even say it, but our plan (my wife and i) was to see if they came back. if they did not come back by 4pm tomorrow, i would clean it up then. that would give them a little more than 24 hours. i definitely dont want birds on my door, but i also dont want dead birds because their nest is destroyed
  11. i would bet its coming, and i would also bet it has a ton of warped parts
  12. i live in an apartment, and apparently my neighbor decided she didnt want the nest there anymore now that the birds left. she took down the nest and hosed my door down. i went out and was like wtf, your getting water in my apartment. there was a small puddle in my apartment, i am guessing through the mailslot
  13. Here is another one from a different day. this time my wife actually woke him up
  14. No way. They made a mess of the door. I would be willing to put the nest un the bushes next to my door but never again. I don't think we will put a wreath on again after this
  15. The 3 baby birds on the wreath have finally left the nest. Im glad they made it and im glad i can take down the nest.
  16. I would have bought the camaro if it wasnt 1/32. Meh
  17. I never post pictures of myself online, but my wife took this when I was sleeping a few weeks ago. I didn't know until 2 days ago. Its the way my life is most days. My boy tickie sleeping on my belly
  18. I remember when i was about 20 my mother had a 92 explorer with the 4.0 v6. That thing sucked gas more than most v8's. I filled it up and my friends and i went driving around for hours around town. By the end of the night i used 20 dollars worth of gas, which at the time was 1.25 per gal. It was not cheap to drive that thing. And it had the loudest power steering pump. You couldn't hear the engine over the pump. Ford said it was normal for it and my mom had it for 10 years without issue.
  19. not fast, but one of the silliest things i have ever seen
  20. this looks really terrific. i love this car so much
  21. I am not old enough to remember these commercials, but man, this first one has horrible music
  22. I had not thought of using masking tape on the model. That might work for me. I cant freehand draw, but i should be able to get it with the tape. I only need to do one side, the other will just be flipped Thanks for the great idea.
  23. And the response
  24. Today someone told me to put an over easy egg on a hamburger. I bought the eggs and the burger meat and i completely forgot about the egg when i cooked dinnee. It wasnt until just now i remembered the egg. Now its too late. That was the whole point of making the burger
  25. I tried for a few hours to draw the lines without any luck. Unfortunately I haven't been blessed with even basic drawing skills. I Think what i will try to do is mess with an image that i find online. Im going to try to primt it to white decal paper and just cut along the lines to make it so the white isn't seen. I Had found a picture of the sunburst version thai i was able to get to the right size my printer is not good enough. Im going to try to go to staples and see if they will let me print on my decal paper with their image printer. I really prefer this version over the sunburst one, and honestly worst case i will just paint the bronco blue and not use decals. If i can get the decals right, it will be black... or maybe one of each. I have 2 of the amt kits
