  1. Your comment should be deleted. It makes sense.
  2. Personally, I like whiting.
  3. I have H-1262 Dodge Dart 440 4 DR, H-1261 Plymouth Fury and Dodge Lancer H-1253. The fit of the glass is a little sloppy. The glass from the Johan '62 kits fits the Revell Fury/Dartbodies requiring only a minor reshaping of the upper windshield frames of the Revell kits for a perfect fit. I vacuformed the Johan glass for use with the Revell kits. Since I plan on using the chassis, suspension and engine compartment parts from Lindberg '64 Mopars (I'm not crazy about the Johan/Revell chassis), tires aren't a problem. As a matter of fact, the Revell stock hub caps, and wheel backs with the axle stub removed, fit the B.F. Goodrich tires with the separate whitewalls found in AMT kits. I'll contact Peter Vetri to see if he'd like to borrow the Fury/Dart/Lancer glass to possibly make a tooling.
  4. It could also be that they're laughing at you behind your back.
  5. High school? Try again.
  6. Revell obtained many Renwal toolings which were later reissued in the Renwal Blueprint Models series. Perhaps the Renwal Revivals tooling was part of the haul when Peter Vetri bought all of that tooling after The Hobbico bankruptcy sale.
  7. You got it, Tom. It's funny how some people who pursue esoteric hobbies or leisure activities think that everybody and his brother should to be interested in the same; and, if they aren't, there's something wrong with them. I'm sure there are people who consider collecting vintage toilet paper wrappers a very exciting activity. Good for them. It ain't my church, though.
  8. Sound familiar? General musings about lack of interest by millennials with hobby; I have seen the enemy and it is us -- search engines
  9. Given the limited number of emoticons presently available, using them in any combination to ask a question would not be possible. Braille might be an acceptable option, though.
  10. "They" complain that the kids spend too much time indoors playing silly video games or on their phones posting in social media sites about their latest gaming gear hauls. "They" want their kids to be just like dear old, Pillsbury Doughboy-like Dad and spend too much time indoors building silly models and on their phones posting in social media sites about their latest model-related hauls. Same c_rap, different generation. Rinse. Repeat. A lot of guys seem to have forgotten the eternal mantra of teens from the first time they stood upright, courtesy of Joey Ramone: I just wanna have some kicks I just wanna get some chicks When I was a kid, we used to goof on the nerds by positing this scenario: You're put in a room with a naked and really foxy chick and a big rock on the floor. Would you: A. try to get laid or: B. pick up the rock and throw it at the naked and really foxy chick I'm getting the vibe that Choice B wins.
  11. Really? That's what Tim essentially said. Alteration and modification mean the same thing.
  12. I'm having a hard time seeing that myself. Is there any solid evidence to corroborate this? The real wagons were built on different platforms ( X-Body for the Nova and Y-Body for the Buick Special) and possess zero body parts interchangeability for either the 1962 0r 1963 model years. The AMT '62 Buick Special body would have had to undergo a such major radical retooling that a newly tooled 1963 body would have been more feasible from a production and economics standpoint.
  13. All one needs to do is hold the left mouse button and drag along the desired text, release the mouse button when the desired portion of text is highlighted and a "Quote selection" box appears under the highlighted text. Click the box and the highlighted text will appear as a quote in your response. That's how I quoted you without the other part of your comment. It doesn't get easier than that. This is accomplished without the ridiculous copying of extraneous items like photos and other unnecessary text.
  14. Easter eggs sez you?
  15. That's how Brian De Palma communicates.
  16. It's more like lazy. Emoticons encourage laziness. Besides, if someone can't be bothered to reply with words, why even bother using emoticons? That's at least .002 seconds that they could have used doing something vastly more important.
  17. The Foose kit contains all of the stock parts. '65 Chevy Impala Fooseâ„¢ Design
  18. Must be considering the large number of replies which contain every stinkin' photo found in the original quoted post. Then, there will be others immediately following doing the same thing.
  19. The 1/16 Funny Car Tire Set is listed in the Atlantis website.
  20. I'll vouch for the quality of Doug's work. This engine is a gem.
  21. I don't believe there are any clear parts in the kit which require cementing together in a horizontal manner; so, any visible joint area will be negligible. Most. if not all, joint areas will be perpendicular to each other. Brush the mating surfaces with the methylene chloride. Clamp or hold the two parts tightly together and carefully apple the solvent along the joint. Capillary action will draw the solvent into the joint. Whatever crazing there is will be limited to the immediate area of the bonded joint. This can be polished out and make it nearly invisible.
  22. Use methylene chloride, which is used as a a solvent cement to bond plexiglass when constructing clear display cases. Weld-On 3 is available in hardware stores and real arts & craft supply stores.
  23. Years ago, my friend, Mikey Yugo, repainted his 1:1 '68 Falcon using a paint roller. The result was really bad. He blamed the company that made the paint roller.
