Yeah, or find out that tires don't fit, mess up decals, paint smears...

Shoulda gotten the Coldplay one!

We have one here at school that's just a box of Masonite with holes in the top. Make something out of clay. Clamp some milkjug plastic between two wooden frames and heat it with a heat gun. Attach the vacuum to the pipe in the box, and put your clay thing on top of the box, slowly lower the frame over it, and there!

You can chemically rust metal. So, yes, some people produce "patina" on 1:1 cars. Kinda pointless.

Looks to be a diesel engine, maybe from a small switcher locomotive?

So wait.... Start with a built kit and do an unbuild thread!

She's still alive.

All you techno-scares come out of the woodwork to soapbox about how Facebook is evil It helps if you have a phone app. Hit the app, it auto-logs in, you look at your notifications, check the MCM page (if they decide to update it), and you're done. I'd like to see the page get updated, since it hasn't in a while....

Yeah, I just looked at your RX7, and it looks nice! I don't have the kind of paper to afford something like that, so it's cool to see someone doing such a nice model of one. Basically, if your car is falling down into the thread abyss and it's annoying you, maybe you don't really feel the build spirit anymore, know what I mean? If I feel like I really like a car, I'll keep working on it or updating it even if nobody's really watching. Some things, they kinda lost my interest, and I shelved them for a later date.

Blech. That song doesn't deserve to be named

Rustoleum works great. Wonder what you guys are doing wrong. Solid color, I'm talking about. I never really use primer if I'm doing a box-stock build. Otherwise, it's just straight color on bare plastic. I've painted three rigs with Rustoleum, and two cars. All worked fine, just took a couple weeks to harden fully.

Found three Gun Digest books at Goodwill: revolver disassembly, shotgun disassembly, and pistol troubleshooting.

$30 or so at the most. I have to pay back the kits I get to my parents.

Yep!

Something I'd like for a modern hot rod is a '92-or-similar LeSabre, in grey primer, Torq-Thrusts or cheap mags, and a supercharger. Something cheap, but decent looking. I can appreciate modern hot-rods, such as Civics and whatnot, when they're performance-oriented and not stanced garbage.

Right now... a Ford pickup, a Chevy 1500 prostreet, an Army surplus Chevy stepside, a shortened Baja VW Rabbit, a Civic, a Mini, a Caprice, a Del Ray, a couple go-kart-kinda things, a Datsun 240z, a Jeep hot rod, an Austin, two tractors, a bulldozer, a Porsche, and a boat.

A Cobol programmer made so much money doing Y2K remediation that he was able to have himself cryogenically frozen when he died. One day in the future, he was unexpectedly resurrected. When he asked why he was unfrozen, he was told: "It's the year 9999 - and you know Cobol." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How many prolog programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? A: Yes. or.... Q: How many programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? A: None; that's a hardware problem.

This was "Beans for Breakfast" by Johnny Cash.

"Hard to eat em from the can I've run out of clean utensils I'm a hungry-nasty-lonesome man..."

Awesome! Wish I had a slot track somewhere around.

Not exactly the same, but Just in the mock-up stage.
