  1. It'll be a really helpless society if ever the power grid C R A P S out. Us OFGs can be the real life versions of Negan and run things.
  2. Murse - carried by beta-males. If it doesn't fit inside your trouser pockets, you don't need to carry it around. That goes for double for the hiking backpacks lugged around by dumb*sses on subways and buses. You're going to work (maybe), not on an expedition through the Andes.
  3. Yup. Just like no "real" Jeep had four doors or was built on a Fiat 500 platform. There's something terribly wrong within the time-space continuum, man.
  4. I'm with you on that. What's up with a 4 door Charger, anyway? The two Challengers up front show what happens to almost everybody after 40-odd years........you get fat and develop a double chin.
  5. There were the Chia Hair commercial from 1990 and the Adobe Mexican import Clay Car commercial from 1986.
  6. A 1 oz. bottle is enough to paint a small car body. Depending on what you plan on painting, you might need to get a 2 oz. size. This is the application guide from the ScaleFinishes website.
  7. Art, I didn't say that it's not doable. I pointed out exactly the same thing you wrote in your response. The plastic still requires to be etched prior to being placed in the electroconductive solution. My point was that it's an involved process and the kits available are still fairly expensive. The refills can be just as costly as the kit itself.
  8. The Eastwood kit isn't usable on plastic. First of all, plastics are non-conductive. In order to electroplate plastic, it must be etched with an oxidizing solution, placed in another solution containing copper or nickel ions which chemically bond with the etched plastic and provide a conductive surface for electroplating. In short, it's an involved process which isn't worth the effort or financial layout to plate model parts at home.
  9. The problem with spraying a fixative on chalk or dry pigments is that they will absorb the fixative and darken,and in some instances, very significantly. My POV is from my primary interest in modeling AFVs. The petroleum and oil based weathering products impart a more realistic look and are better suited to handling.
  10. I believe Spencer means interior panels.
  11. Sure; it won't be permanent, though. Check out AK-Interactive, Mig Products, True Earth. These companies make weathering pigments.
  12. And the equivalent amount, in model paint, runs for about $540/gal.
  13. Gee, that reads like an ad for Del Webb.
  14. That's a cool car. You can slide the steering wheel from one side to the other depending on traffic conditions.
  15. The should've attempted a bank heist. The food in a fed lockup is much better than at a state pen. They could even special order honey buns from the commissary. A guy I know did a two year stretch at Sandstone. He said that the cable TV service was better than back home.
  16. From what I see in that photo, it's taken root. Could be a canker sore, though
  17. Mobile sustainable and locally sourced organic farming is now available for those ecologically concerned individuals on the go.
  18. Japanese car manufacturers also were latecomers to the Blobmobile sweepstakes, starting to round body lines in 1998-99 as did GM. You would think that, with pervasiveness of the egg-like design of most cars in recent years, DIY car coloring kits from PAAS would be available to owners who decided white wasn't cutting it anymore. Then, there are those who prefer a textured, natural look
  19. I had to take a bunch of them pre- and post-surgery. It wasn't too bad. Then again, my left side had major nerve damage as a result of my neck injury and I couldn't feel anything anyway.
  20. Getting a real job would be the first way that comes to mind. Running a three card monte game in Times Square and relieving tourists of the burden of carrying around all that mad money is a close second. Selling parted out model kits on an online auction site doesn't guarantee a steady source of simoleons.
  21. Blame Ford Europe for starting the Blobmobile trend when it introduced the Sierra in 1982. FoMoCo in the U.S. followed suit with the Tempo/Topaz tag team duo for the 1984 model year. GM didn't jump on the bandwagon until 1991, with the redesigned Caprice. I owned a Taurus only because I got it super cheap. Major issue was the rear strut towers rusting out and turning the car into a tail dragger when least expected after hitting a New York pothole.

  23. I ended up using the jelled Liquid Plumber because the E-O didn't do a thing. The LP has a higher lye content than the E-O. After all, you are trying to clear hairballs from your shower/bath tub drain.
  24. Life is good!
  25. Other than the steel wool leaving the body with a smooth, matt finish, no pitting or scarring.
