What Did You Get Today? (Not Model Related)
SfanGoch replied to LOBBS's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I go to the bodegas around here to get a couple rolls of TP. They're loaded with all of the disappearing items. Great thing about stupid panic shoppers is that they all make a beeline to the supermarkets and clean out the shelves quicker than a pack of hyenas stripping a zebra carcass. They don't bother with the Mom & Pop shops. I go to the two Polish food markets and Italian market nearby to grab what I need food-wise. -

You can never have enough ground beef, Bill. Tacos, beef stroganoff, burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, chilli, meat sauce for pasta are all important and necessary staples. -

Fmeep's Pop ' Play arrived a few minutes ago. It'll give him something to do with his ample free time. We don't let him play board games or poker with us because he cheats. -

Just ordered the complete "The Muppet Show/Muppets Tonight" collection (all 142 uncut episodes). We'll have plenty o'spare time to watch'em. -
Yeah, I couldn't find any of the Mopars I was interested in without paying out the wazoo: so, I temporarily switched allegiance.

I'm planning to use the Lindberg '66 Chevelle as a donor to detail my AMT Craftsman Series 1966 Buick Skylark GS. The interior upholstery pattern is similar, if not identical.

Hawkeye's Hobbies, the manufacturer of SnJ Spray Metal, went out of business some years ago. The chances of finding it are slim to none. -
This is a photo (taken yesterday by the N.Y. Daily News) of the fun, frolicking and highjinks taking place at McCarren Park, located in my ancestral neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Aside from the now-cancelled Spring Break activities in Florida, this has to be one of the larger mass groupings of Darwin Award candidates.

'56 Pontiac promo questions
SfanGoch replied to hedotwo's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If you have a combination scribing tool/scraper, lightly scrape along and perpendicular to/on the mold lines to remove them: and, if you have multi-grit sanding sticks, use the medium, fine and extra fine sticks to lightly polish the areas out. Bada-bing, bada-boom, mold lines in ABS gone. -
Does anyone make a 1972 Dodge Dart 4-door?
SfanGoch replied to LDO's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
There isn't any 'resin '72 Dart 4 Dr Sedan available. For future reference, you can check the resin model cars and trucks database from Rocketfin. It's pretty comprehensive and an excellent resource. -

There are no issues or problems sanding ABS. Medium-fine grit wet/dry paper is sufficient. As with polystyrene, exercise care not to overdo it. -
On Sunday, October 20,1985, an earthquake centered in Ardsley, N.Y. hit at a little past 6 A.M. It was felt in NYC, including Brooklyn. How did I find out? The hung wall case directly over the head of my bed fell and smacked me dead in the kisser. I wasn't really a big deal. I had to get up and get ready for work anyway.

Darby Conley's drawing style looks suspiciously similar to Berkley Breathed's (Bloom County).

"Holy Grail" Models?
SfanGoch replied to Billy Kingsley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
J&J Randall is deader than the proverbial doornail and is defunct. It was bought by Letraset in 1978 which, in turn, was acquired by Colart. Letraset then became part of Windsor and Newton and is equally extinct. -
Are you talking about the one in August 2011? The apartment complex where we lived in Downtown Brooklyn is built right over the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station on vibration pads to mitigate shaking from the train traffic below street level. My son was on his computer in his bedroom, I was in the living room and Fmeep the Cat was snoozing on top of the a/c wall sleeve when I felt the apartment rocking. My son and I looked out the living room window and saw that the friggin' view was moving from side to side. I thought it was because of the subway trains running through the station until we saw the sign on the deli across the street fall off the wall and people started flooding out into the street. Junior and I thought it was pretty cool. Fmeep continued snoozing.

Remove chrome on 440 valve covers . Ideas ?
SfanGoch replied to rob1957's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Soak the parts in Clorox. The chrome will dissolve in a matter of minutes. Rinse, prime and paint away.
