.... *sigh* Just because you play a "Violent" video game, doesn't automatically turn you into a school shooter. Video games aren't "ruining" the world, sure, they're not really helping the world either, but still; they are not ruining the world. The reason why you see all these shootings and murders is because the person behind the crime is missing a lot of screws up in his cranium. A sane person doesn't kill people. A sane person also doesn't kill someone after playing a video game. Yes, I'm sure a few kids out there who were missing more than one or two screws up there played a game and then said, "Yeah! I can do that!" but video games doesn't turn a normal person into a blood thirsty killer. That's like saying building a model kit will turn you into a top of the line mechanic. No. It doesn't work that way. Same thing with video games. As far as getting kids back into the hobby. I don't think modeling will have a surge in children in this hobby. Sure, I bet there will be some new people, but not like the 60s or the 80s. Every plant, animal and bacteria on this Earth has a phone nowadays (not literally of course ) Also, the interest in cars by young teens is also at a low. If you don't know a guy who knows a guy who models, it's really, really hard to get into this hobby. Sure, that sounds ridiculous to some of you guys from the 60s and 70s but if you look around a HS today, the prices are really high for a mid to low class family. $22 for a kit, $10 in paints, $15 in tools, and everything you want and need. That stuff really adds up. Yes, I think video games hurt modeling. No, it does not turn you into a cold blooded killer. No, modeling will never have another surge like the 60s and 80s. Yes, some kids are into the hobby, and that's only because their buddies dad is in it or their dad.

This is actually pretty cool though

Car looks great! Can we see the engine and chassis close up?

Hey Dave! Welcome to the forum! As far as a airbrush, I recently got a Paasche TG 2L off of Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/Paasche-TG-2L-Airbrush-Accessories/dp/B0017IFL4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414952399&sr=8-1&keywords=paasche+tg2l ) and it is a very reliable airbrush. No complaints. I feel that is a good starter airbrush, and it really doesn't cost that much (and it's made in the US, if that means anything to you) As far as a compressor, look at compressors at Lowes. They are cheap there and you could get one there for a deal. You could go to Harbor Freight, if there is one around you, you will pretty much find one there for sure.

E30i?

Looks good but it would've been better if the rear suspension was separate from the chassis. The engine block looks okay but the tranny, I don't know what's going on there....

I like this one.

Wow!

We should start calling you MrMopar!

Harry! Wow oh wow! Excellent! The yellow will really go with the car. It is absolutely amazing!

AND someone's angry.. better watch out.

"He plays by the sense of smell"

Looks good. Off to a great start already!

I use a Paasche airbrush. Relatively cheap on Amazon and it is real high quality. Made in America if that means anything to you.

That color fits the car really well. It'll all come together to make one kickin' Cuda!

Man, your favorite driver must be Kyle Logano Great looking model room. Very organized looking
