  1. I have some vintage Testor's paints. Sky blue, copper, a couple of silver, sapphire blue, sea blue, black, green. They all work nice. I also have a big box of old Floquil paints. Man, I wish they hadn't cancelled Floquil. That was some good stuff.
  2. Never smelled hi-test, but regular pump gas is great-smelling.
  3. If there was ever an earworm!
  4. It seems they also associate vans with health, so their ideas of vanning seem skewed And I saw two nice builtups of a Tamiya Eunos roadster and the Honda Today on eBay about a month ago for ten bucks... I wish I had jumped on those.
  5. Supertramp - Breakfast in America?
  6. Paul McCartney (and Wings?) - Let 'Em In
  7. I think that seat looks great in there,
  8. How about "Loadrunner" instead of Roadrunner?
  9. A couple more lines to help it along... "Would it make it easier on you, now [if you] Got someone to blame?"
  10. I'm amazed myself that they actually have Z scale figures! I should pick up a few because I've been thinking about making a bowling trophy, but I can see a lot of uses for them.
  11. I think I'll try this first. I'll probably clearcoat it too, as my models get handled more than other people's do.
  12. Oh now I get it.... Duh.
  13. N scale is 1:160 and Z scale is 1:220, so take your pick on railroad stuff.
  14. Alright! I'll have to pick some up when I next get to Walmart.
  15. Uhhhhh.... I don't get it.
  16. I'll have to get some clear yellow next time I get to the LHS. I only was going to use clear orange because that's all I have. I do have some Tamiya clear smoke color.
  17. So, like, one pass with a highlighter, then clearcoat, repeat?
  18. Can anybody tell me how to turn clear headlights into yellow ones such as this? Please, no smarta$$ responses. I was thinking some Tamiya clear orange paint mixed with a little yellow... Anybody have anything more definitive that would work, preferably something they've tested?
  19. If you have a Dremel, you can chuck a piece of parts tree sprue in it and go at it with files or an X-Acto knife to make some. I've done it to make shifter boots, CV boots, and steering parts, as well as 8-ball shifter knobs and plastic bottles.
  20. I was hoping for a 275 door Mustang!
  21. emodelcars is dead all the time. I don't find anything interesting on there, never have.
  22. Got a late Christmas present!
