Ric, I'm going to be honest about what I see. It looks like you used a Sawz-All to cut that door open. Finesse is the key. Forget about using X-Acto saw blades or the back side of a #11 blade to open doors and trunks. Neither is precise enough. Get yourself some dedicated scribing blades such as these HQT Tools Stainless Scribers. They are extremely thin and have a narrow kerf which allows for precision removal of plastic from around the doors. The result will be a nice, clean and even gap. It's a $7 investment which will save you more in the long run.

It's "papilio" and is most definitely still available.

Various aftermarket companies, like Aber, make photoetch 1/35 scale hinges which can be adapted to 1/24-1/25. Take a look HERE.

Take a look at Detail Master door hinges.

No master(s) to make new ones?

Yes.

The problem with people decorating their workspaces is that many have the misguided belief that the office/cubicle is an actual physical extension of their home. It isn't. It's where you are supposed to perform the work you are being paid to do. It isn't supposed to be a display area for toys or other junk. One of the customer service reps at the Con Edison office in Downtown Brooklyn had so many models cluttering up his area that his space looked like a friggin' thrift shop and it was impossible to conduct business there. After numerous complaints from customers and coworkers, he was told to clean up the office and get rid of the stuff.

When did you ever see a bus with either? Exact fare, please.

What is a "start collector"?

I guess this wasn't the info you were looking for.

The 1960 Desoto was a unibody. Use the Lindberg/AMT 1964 Mopar chassis, engine compartment and suspension parts. The wheelbase for those kits is supposed to be 118.5" but measure out to 119 scale inches/119 mm. The '60 Desoto had a 122' wheelbase but the Lindberg chassis work and the wheels line up center of the wells without any chassis hacking required. If you check ebay, Model Car Mountain and others usually offer the interior, chassis and suspension trees for around seven bucks. Also, the Lindberg interior tub and panels can be used to place the Johan tub inside so everything lines up and is secure. The door panels can be reversed so that there won't be any obstructions interfering with the Johan tub. To correct the shallow Johan interior, you can carefully remove the floor areas of the Desoto tub and add a 5 mm styrene strip to the bottom of the door panels and the front bottom of the rear seat and the lower front and rear of the front bench seat. When the Johan tub is inserted into the Lindberg tub, the styrene strips will abut the floor of the Lindberg tub and will give you the proper depth.

No different than the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s.

I archive all of my photos and important documents on CD/DVD. I don't have to worry if ephemeral storage systems like clouds or computer drives go POOF! Them disks are pretty much permanent and forever, Photobucket and other hosting services ain't.

This was my next door neighbor's wife's younger brother. The older brother is still hospitalized from knife wounds sustained in the attack. They have no relation to me other than being neighbors.

Yeah, it's NYC. Rockaway Park in Queens County.

Google "1920s/1930s brocade cloth material patterns". You should find something close enough. It'll be just a matter of repeating the pattern in PS and adjusting the colors.

Bummer of a day. My next door neighbors are moving out. The wife's brothers were attacked and stabbed across the street at the Q22 bus stop on Rockaway Beach Blvd. & Beach 111th St. last Wednesday evening. The younger brother, who recently enlisted in the USMC, was killed trying to help his older brother. My condolences and prayers go out to the families. Getting bad here lately. Time for me to look elsewhere.

It's "Holy Moly", favorite expression of Billy Batson, alter ego of Captain Marvel.

The Collyer Brothers were first class collectors.

Ever heard of Google? Any red oxide model paint will work for Venetian Red. There are also numerous options for Chestnut Brown.

ABS is chemically similar to polystyrene. If its a bumper, you can use a heat gun to get the ABS to cooperate. I used a heat gun to fix a front bumper on a 1986 Taurus years ago.

Feel like laughing now? This $50 burger is coming to Manhattan and doesn't even come with fries Buon appetito!

It's funny that in most cases, defenders of excess are usually the first in line with 40% discount coupons.
