He's got the market all to himself. He wouldn't divulge his sources. Somebody might decide that he wants to get in on the action and put a crimp in his business.

Congrats, Samuel! I see your line is now carried by SpotModel: Splash Paints

Looking good, Jeff. Re the tire fit, take some tissue, soak it in diluted white glue and stuff inside the tires. When that dries, the tire sidewalls will be stiffer and prevent them from popping off the wheels. I did that with the kit supplied Michelins in the M1070. It improved the fit and was good enough until I got a set of resin tires and wheels.

If you mean 14000 Venezuelan Bolivars, that would be 13,999 too many.

Is that Canyon Copper Firemist Metallic? Chateau Mauve Firemist wasn't available for '78 MY.

Andy Warhol once told me, "You can put a coffee cup on a pedestal, call it "art" and people will kill each other for the privilege of owning it."

Meat stromboli at Slices & Ices on Beach 116th Street in Rockaway Beach. Spent the day hanging out on the boardwalk with Junior. Beautiful day except not many hot bikini babes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69RPEh2tADk

The same way a Hasegawa Volkswagen Beetle kit is listed as a1/24 1/25 AMTJohanMongramRevellScatPackBoys. You cover all bases without hitting the ball out of the batter's box.

Close; but, no cigar. The Valiant Scamp wasn't the same as a Valiant. I had a '72 and it was the same as the '71 MY below. '71 Valiant Scamp

Looks too much like a pro-built model. I don't think ringers are allowed to be entered.

Lay off the coffee, man. What's with the typed yelling? You essentially answered your own question. If there was no tooling, there wouldn't be any kit.

AMT wouldn't "86" those kits because of a strike. It was`settled and production resumed. Management probably decided those kits wouldn't be big sellers.

The Goat had that tin can for dinner. Definitely cool, though.

Bought a Monogram Aston martin DB-4 and a Maserati 3500 GT a few minutes ago.

I used to go to Lenny's on Old Country Road in Carle Place. Remember Swensen's in Huntington? They had that huge model train running along the wall.

Right here:

Cross the border(no passport required ) and stop in at Lenny's Clam Bar on Cross Bay Blvd. in Howard Beach. Mention Rocky and get a free glass of wine with dinner.

Landfill and soil liquefaction are major concerns. Check out the Liquefaction Hazard Maps. What about those swell cliffside homes? The ones that turn into houseboats when they slide into the Pacific after an earthquake.

Right now, six cars and three military kits. It's an assembly line. I'll work on one or two for around three days while the others are in their boxes on standby. Then, box them up and move to another two. Rinse and repeat. This keeps me from over-obsessing about details on any particular, kit which I tend to do.

It's still there.

Hey, the terms are interchangeable. Both joints serve burgers, gyros and other diner grub in addition to Greek specialties. Using "restaurant" instead of "diner" just means the check will be about ten bucks more in the former. Waddya mean $8.00 for a glass of chocolate milk?!?

What do you order? I'll venture a guess and say it would be real restaurant fare requiring knives and forks. Ron's talking about regular Greek diner food. Cheeseburgers, fries and sodas for two people will cost upwards of 50 bucks plus tax and tip at the Greek's in NYC & LI. Replace the burgers with gyros or Greek salad, same cost. How many of you would pay $7.75 for two eggs, toast and hash browns plus a side of pork sausage (3 Brown & Serve-sized links) for an additional $6.95? It ain't cheap, guys. Menu from the Greek diner near me. Bring two credit cards.

Sorry to hear this. I remember seeing his models in SA. Really great stuff.

Trisodium phosphate can also be used to clean and degrease polystyrene, leaving no residue. It's also great degunking carburetors and degreasing firearms parts in preparation for parkerizing them.
