  1. does bleach soften or mess with the plastic at all?
  2. is there anyway i can change my username? Is it possible to change it to miles
  3. i have 90% of the bits painted and now need to be assembled and detailed. the kit is going to be 100% box stock. it doesnt have much detail. after i put the bits together and detail it a bit, i will take a picture to show. at this point, its just bits. the body paint i ordered hasnt shipped, so i am just going to paint the body one that i have at home already. i have another kit that can use the paint that is on order. i am stripping the chrome from the wheels because it looks like they should be painted silver. i suspect that is going to be my biggest delay at this point. i strip the chrome by keeping it in soda for a few days. so far its been 2 days and the chrome is only just starting to disappear. I'm using sprite this time since its all i had, and its taking longer than when i use coke or pepsi. i dont have any coke or pepsi at home. i will also say i love how the tamiya paint dries so smooth. i made a mistake and had a paint drip on one piece because i got a little heavy on it. i just left it as is, assuming i would need to sand and respray that piece and when i checked on it, the drip flattened itself out and looked fine. it was slightly a different shade, so a quick blast of one more light coat of paint and its all squared away. no sanding needed.
  4. He is supposed to pick them up tomorrow from our apartment. when my wife gets home tonight ftom work she is going to bring them inside. I Work from home, so i will be able to hand them to him when he comes. Unfortunately she didn't see them until she arrived at work. Unfortunately my wifes commute is about 1 hour each way
  5. Following up on this. the shop called my wife to schedule pickup of the tools left in her car, and she said she is in at her job today, and gave the town name or if he cant go that far, then he can get them tomorrow at our home. He said i need them today, so she said then you will need to come to my job. He told her it was too far, so she said you will need to get them tomorrow then from our apartment if you wont drive here to my job. She cant leave her job to drive it home. I cant leave my job to get them either. It would take us almost 2 hours to get them and get back. He agreed to get it tomorrow from our apartment.
  6. my wife had her windshield replaced by a major chain windshield shop this past weekend. When she drove to work today she found that the mechanic left his bag of tools in the back seat. since the appointment was done online, my wife didnt know who to call. I used the online customer support chat to find the phone number to call to get the mechanic back his tools. The customer service rep came on, and i explained it to them, and they replied you need to contact the shop directly, and immediately ended chat. did not give me an opportunity to respond asking for the number or how i can find the number. i clicked chat again and got someone the second time, who contacted them for me and told me someone would call me to schedule a pickup time. I am so tired of customer service being jerks. their whole job is customer service. i wasnt trying to complain, i just wanted to get the tools back to them, i imagine they arent cheap

  9. the detail is stunning. amazing job
  10. that is correct (65, but they are almost identical)
  11. I am slowly but surely working on a diorama for a pumpkin farm stand. I was originally going to make a 50 chevy pickup with the stand, but i really didnt like how it was coming out, and i trashed it. i got the grass and pumpkins and stuff to make apples. here is the first thing i have finished for the dio. its not much, but at least its something
  12. i have all the little bits and the chassis primed at this point. the body is fully prepped and ready for primer. i have just 1 piece that i need to glue once the primer on it dries. i will start painting the bits and detailing them today. honestly, i am siked to start the next build, so i am worried i am going to rush this one.
  13. here is a new car. much easier
  14. 1 day passed, per the rules here is my car. it was a fiat panda 4x4.
  15. i have never built a car black because they always feel very "plasticy" or "toy like" this black charger though is amazing. the paint looks realistic and amazing. nice work.
  16. i loved those thunderbirds as a kid. i actually had 4 through the years - 84, 85, 88, 95. The 84 was my first car. The 85 i had only a 5 years ago, i was going to restore it. i never did though and ended up junking it
  17. i guess i got it mixed up with 2 different articles. this is the one with the tesla guts. when i searched equus bass, this came up too. i mixed multiple cars https://www.topspeed.com/cars/ford/2021-ford-mustang-r67-by-aviar-motors-ar189225.html

  19. im 99% sure my guess is correct since i found the exact picture posted on the page (to keep the game going). here is my choice. CLUE: it might be too easy to guess for people in europe, and In the USA it might be harder to guess
