Nope. They are exactly like the Little Red Wagon caps.

I haven't tried it myself, Jim. I've seen what model train hobbyists have done using this system and it looks like a great product. Another product is Papilio. They make waterslide decal paper for inkjet and laser copiers. Check out the Cobra in the link. All of the decals were printed with the waterslide decal paper. They also make dry transfer decal film, which is really great stuff. My friend, Gino Quintiliani used them to make stencils for his "Jeep in a crate for $50...WIP" project.

Old nooze.

You can also try this decal paper. It dries white.

I made an extra set for you and took photos before sending them. I put a single coat of Revell Aqua Color 36137 (acriylic) Ziegelrot (brick red) on the skirts so they show up better. You can remove it with rubbing alcohol. Now, you'll need another Batmobile to use the other set on.

I used Testors Easy Lift Off on a Johan '64 Coupe deVille HT i picked up. It was stripped clean, like a zebra carcass by a pack of hyenas, in a little more than an hour.

When you apply the newspaper/tissue/wrapping paper, cut it slightly larger than the pillar, place it on the CA precoated pillar and smooth it out with tweezer tips, a dental probe or any other object. Apply another thin, smooth coat of CA over the paper and place a drop of CA accelerator on this. Some people frown on using accelerator; but, hey, to each his own. It'll be rock hard and you can sand it with wet/dry paper or use, if you got'em, round diamond burr bits to make it baby's butt smooth. I also smear on a thin coat of two-part marine epoxy (it's white, which means it'll blend in with the surrounding plastic in 90+% of kits) just to make sure nothing decides to come apart.

A Johan 1931 Cadillac Town Brougham and an MPC 1932 Chrysler Imperial Roadster.

There might be some mighty disappointed folks if the new owners don' make any changes and maintain the status quo. There won't be anything worthy of nitpicking and second guessing about.

I have purchased two, factory sealed Police Pursuit Car kits during the past few months for 29 bucks each and am going to order another one. Earlier today, I bought a Johan 1931 Cadillac Town Brougham, also sealed for $29.99 plus a couple bucks for shipping. A couple of years ago, I picked up a pair of sealed Chrysler Turbine Cars (one, an original 1964 issue GC 300-149 molded in turquoise styrene, the other a 1978 issue GC 300 in white) for less than 50 bucks. It all comes down to how hard one searches. If you limit searches only to fleabay, you'llshell out them big bucks. If you only look through the first two or three pages when using Google (which what the average person does) you ain't finding squat.

Sooooo..............after over 600 comments................. Nobody still knows nuthin'. Oy, such yentas we have!

Done.

It's a reply to George's comment. Pip's was a famous comedy club located in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn. If you didn't know what Pip's was, why didn't you search the name? That's what Google is for. Who was doing standup there? Name any comedian from the last 40+ years.

It's against DMV regulations to issue driver's licenses to non-humans.

Patrick, some of this retro stuff goes a bit too far. Back in 1997, Me and a couple of friends went to a bar on E.10th St. & Ave. B (area known as Alphabet City) called the Lakeside Lounge. We were hanging out at the bar when this chick who looked like Ethel Mertz's mother walked in and pulled up a stool at the bar. She was wearing a gaudy red strapless dress and tons o'Max Factor to compliment her peroxided hair. My friends and I are staring at her and one of them asks her, "What're you supposed to be?" She answered, "I'm 1959." 1959 what? "That's it, 1959." A regoolar mental case, she was.

They will pay over $10000 for a pair of ratty, smelly 1985 vintage Air Jordans.

That was worth at least a dime. Sameness does get pretty boring with both monotonously bland bodywork and monochromatic color options available for eggs on wheels. Interestingly, in my area, parentally-subsidized playcationers favor cars from the '40s - ''70s. Cars from the early '60s through the mid '70s are the most popular with the Quaids and Haydens. I haven't seen so many Corvairs, Darts, El Caminos and other old fart faves around here since they were sold as new.

Too bad Pip's in Sheepshead Bay closed. I'd pay twice to see the rest of your standup routine.

Are the comments about the imminent demise of "the hobby" based on the demographics of this, and other, fora? Using this information as evidence doesn't provide an accurate picture. Why not? Because, there are far more people who do build models and don't, for whatever reasons, choose to frequent hobby-specific websites and groups than actually do. I asked my son, a sophomore in high school, to ask his friends if they're into modeling. Well, there are 29 guys in his shop class. Surprisingly, twenty build models. Twelve build car models and none visit online modeling sites or buy modeling mags.

Peter, there's a toy store in Greenpoint that still sells them. That's where I get mine. If the bottle you have runs out, transfer the cement from the new into the old.

You can buy the Panel Delivery body direct from Jimmy Flintstone. It's on sale for only 20 bucks.

I'm on it right now. I'll have them out to you on Thursday.

Not much difference. If you want, I can modify them for you. It's short work and zero problem. PM your address if you want them. '59 skirts '60 skirts

So much for "Jack of all trades, master at none". The majority of today's yoots know jack about nothing.

Would you be interested in a set of '59 Impala skirts? A small amount of filling and adjusting at the tops to make them fit. I have at least two sets I'll never use.
