  1. He's probably already risen again.
  2. I always admire people who do ignition wires. I tried it once and felt it was alright, but I've not used the skill since. I don't really think it has a massive effect on the engine bay look... anyways, I guess what I'm getting at is just try the little "complicated" things: you may be surprised.
  3. 9 times out of 10, I knock back kit chrome with Tamiya Smoke, sometimes partially diluted. It gives it the effect of a wash as well as retaining the "chrome" look without being too plasticky.
  4. Got paid! 260-some-odd dollars. Spent $80 on debts, and bought a model kit (Revell '77 Chevy Van) with accessories, some Moxie for work, and a soda for home. It feels good to have earned money.
  5. Oil paint can take weeks to try, sometimes. It all depends on conditions when you paint it and when it's curing.
  6. Ain't a hot rod with chicken legs! Good choice with slicks.
  7. I did that exact same thing, except all my customers were satisfied and I charged $5 a piece! I remember one HW school bus I did in black with flames that took incredibly long to do.
  8. My day officially sucks now.
  9. Somewhere I have pictures of paint-customized Hot Wheels I took when I was six or so...
  10. The googly eyes are a great idea, and they worked well! I'm taking that.
  11. They were from the Tamiya Lotus Super Seven. I clamped them into a power drill and lathed the ribs off them to fit into these tires.
  12. Robocalls. Tish-pshaw. When they call, I break out the Arnold Schwarzenegger voice. I've asked many a telemarketer where John Connor is.
  13. Ouch. Everyone alright?
  14. Wilson Pickett. Good tunes.
  15. I'm sure most of you have heard of Michael Paul Smith, but here it is: http://www.restnova.com/artist-uses-forced-perspective-to-make-miniature-car-models-look-like-real-cars/
  16. Welcome. Good place to be.
  17. My chest still hurts from this cold. Been since Sunday PM I've had chest pain, weak arms, congested head, and nosebleeds. My throat is sore from all the mouth-breathing, and I feel like putting my fist through the wall because I can't sleep for more than ten minutes most times before my nose bleeds again and won't stop for what seems like ever. Ugh.
  18. Everything's looking good... except the nose. The headlights look beady and high up. Do have to say the engine looks really good.
  19. Thanks! I appreciate it! Love to see how this turns out, because I might pick this kit up at some point.
  20. Step one: open eyes Step two: look at pictures Hope this helps.
