One can just as easily cut four pieces of 1mm styrene sheet 30mm high and cement the ends to form a box large enough to slip the bottle in. The four bottom corners will prevent the bottle from tipping over.

Yeah, you got that right.

For the same amount you spend on 7-10 spray cans, you can get this: Airbrush Air Compressor w/ 3L Tank & 6' Hose with free shipping. I have one and it's an excellent compressor. I recommend the G233 Pro Set Master Gravity Airbrush Kit 3 Fluid Tips Air Hose, Hobby Auto Art It's a great airbrush for the price. Also with free shipping.

If you would consider using an airbrush, being that it's more economical and allows for better and more precise coverage than a spray can, I'd recommend Badger Stynylrez acrylic primers. The white primer is excellent. Opaque coverage achieved in two light coats and it dries smooth and rock hard.

Looks like this month.

Not a hood; but, ORIGINAL 1/25 JOHAN 1969 SC/RAMBLER HOOD SCOOP W/AIR CLEANER GC-2500 Hood from same vendor. ORIGINAL 1/25 JOHAN 1969 SC/RAMBLER HOOD GC-2500 If you don't get either or both, that's on you.

Really nice build, Keith. However, It's not a new tool. It's a rebox of the Lindberg kit released in 1998.

The '53 Ford Victoria was originally released by Lindberg in 1998, not by Johan.

Nope. Toy Fair to remain in NYC after facing backlash for planned New Orleans move

There's no way to dye black rubber after it's been produced. Simple Materials Science 101. Get some yellow Plasti Dip and coat the boots. It adheres to rubber.

From your lips to Round2's ears. One would think that the '66 Skylark GS would be at the top of the "to clone" list.

I've posted about MasterClub resin Nuts, Bolts & Rivets before. They are superior to Tichy. Unlike Tichy, MasterClub items are what you would find on cars, armor, ships and aircraft. Sizes range from 0.3-1.8mm, which cover every possible use; and, depending on the type, there are 70-180 pieces per package. You can order them from ARMOR35.ru for only $1.86 per pack.

EV's are large scale versions of Mattel Sizzlers and run for about as long per charge.

Mislabeled. If you googled "Model Master 4651", "4651" being the product code, you would've found that this is Deep Pearl Purple.

Induction to the RRHOF has similarities to cars and military aircraft. Consider all of the cars which started out as sports models. Small, fast and maneuverable. The T-Bird started out this way. Then, the braintrust at Ford ford thought it was a great idea to re-engineer it into the bloated land yacht it finally morphed into in the '70s. The F-16 Viper was originally designed as an air superiority day fighter. It didn't take long for it to be turned into a multi-mission aircraft, sort of a flying Swiss Army knife. Unfortunately, that's what the RRHOF has turned into. The RRHOF has strayed from its original mission statement and has become a purely commercial enterprise shilling its self-importance as the self-anointed stewards of Rock'n'Roll and, as an added bonus, hawking crummy souvenirs to cheapen things. Hard Rock Cafe is is similar, more of a cheesy theme restaurant serving overpriced, lousy food and drinks catering to black-socks-with-sandals wearing tourists with some memorabilia mounted on the walls to impart a faux authenticity.To quote Chester A. Riley, "What a revoltin' development this is!"

He was posthumously inducted in 1995.

Honestly Carl, I don't believe you do. Nelson and Jennings are/were straight up country artists like Dolly. Neither should be in the RRHOF. The "outlaw country" movement" started by Waylon Jennings is still country music without even the most tenuous connection to rock. Groups like New Riders of the Purple Sage, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Poco, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels and other like groups might have been called rock bands; however, they fit into the country category. Yeah, these bands were popular back in the late '60s and later; but, the style itself was popular with weedheads and stoners for the "cool factor". It's the same reason they started to listen to Papa John Creach and James Cotton. Most, if not all, never heard of either until major rock acts like Cream included them as opening acts in various concerts. Hippies liked to give the impression that they were connoisseurs of eclectic music. Truth is, they were just being pretentious and full of c_rap. I've been to a lot of Grateful Dead shows where these groups played as opening acts and also saw Commander Cody and NRPS on the same bill at the legendary Schaefer Music Festival concert series at Central Park in August '74. Tickets cost two bucks. Even at that, they wuz country artists at heart and style.

This goes back to what criteria are used to define Rock'n'Roll and qualifications to be inducted into the RRHOF. Rogers was never what could be defined as a rock performer. He was a member of a jazz group, the Bobby Doyle Three. Incidentally, Bobby Doyle was a member of the Slades, who recorded the original version of the classic "You Cheated" in 1958, covered later that year by the Shields, featuring Frankie Ervin on lead and music legends Jesse Belvin (who wrote "Earth Angel") and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. He later joined the folk group, the New Christie Minstrels after which he, and some members of the Minstrels, formed the First Edition. Despite its rock origins, it transformed into a country music/pop/easy listening music group. Dolly Parton's induction into the RRHOF defies logic. She's been a country/bluegrass performer her entire career. Sonny Burgess has better bona fides as a rock'n'roller that Dolly. So does legendary tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet. The RRHOF seems to grasp at straws when considering membership. The majority of inductees are from the 1970s forward. That's because the selection committee seems to choose groups from their listening experiences. Although it has an early influence section, it is woefully underrepresented. There are dozens of artists from the 1940s through the 1950s who have made an impact and contributed to what would eventually evolve into Rock'n'Roll music. I won't bore the audience here about doo wop or vocal group harmony since most here don't know nuthin' about either. Both of those genres lead directly to what we know as rock'n'roll. RRHOF ignores these too, even though a large number of the artists had a major influence on rock's musical style and identity. Without doo wop, there wouldn't be any Beach Boys or Beatles. Without Screamin' Jay Hawkins, there would be no shock rock, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Cramps or even Led Zeppelin. Another artist who deserves to be in the RRHOF. Champion Jack Dupree on the ivories with Sticks McGhee swinging a scorching axe. You ain't a rock'n'roller if you don't dig it.

I wasn't referring to the bands you mentioned, Steve. I was only pointing out that there are hundreds of unknown bands whose fans overestimate their relative importance in the scheme of things. There were/are bands from my neighborhood in Brooklyn with pedigrees going back to the early '70s, some of which were signed by major labels; but, never made an impact. The exceptions are Eugene Pitt & The Jive Five, heavy metal bass player Rik Fox (Richard Suligowski) and Kiss, who all are from Greenpoint/Williamsbug. BTW, I saw the Spoons at Rumrunner in Oyster Bay, L.I. on April 3, 1987 and Skinny Puppy at the Kitchen on W. 19th Street in Manhattan on July 14 of the same year. Skinny Puppy put on a slamming show.

That only applies if there are any model car shows near where you live.

I already reported them earlier.

I listened to it when it was released. You're right, it is hilarious. It's heavy metal meets schmoozy lounge lizard act playing in Bartini Bar & Lounge in Babylon, N.Y. on a Thursday night.

Hell, the criteria for what defines Rock n' Roll has been diluted to the point that there is no criteria. All the rap, hip-hop and country artists included are evidence of this. Might as well add Pat Boone. He recorded a pseudo-metal album in 1997. The names of groups/artists which were included are interesting. Most, if not all, are the exact definition of obscure. Obscurity definitely doesn't merit inclusion in the RRHOF. These groups aren't well known for a good reason. It reminds me of people who wear band tee shirts for the "cool" factor but have never listened to, or could even name, a single song by the group(s). There were hundreds of Midwest garage bands in the '60s. They had their local followings but weren't influential by any means. Groups such as MC5 and the Dictators should be inducted because they both had an impact and influenced RnR. The Dictators, along with the Ramones and the Modern Lovers, were the most influential proto-punk/punk bands. If it weren't for them, there wouldn't have been the Sex Pistols, Clash, etc.

It's just plain old black with a fancy-schmancy name.
