  1. That class is only available to trainees who qualified for the ASCO (Advanced Snack Car Operator) course. Extra charges may be applicable.
  2. There are flight attendant academies which prepare one for a rewarding and action packed career as a snack cart operator.
  3. Well, I can always go to Rudy's Hobby Supplies, in the Astoria section of Queens, N.Y., which is the modeling equivalent of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, to snag kits.
  4. Dave, you nailed it.
  5. I should have caught that too. There's a guy a couple blocks from me who owns a mint condition Pastel Yellow '60 Lincoln 4 DR HT which I ogle at every opportunity.
  6. Mebbe you should check the expiration date on them cans, Dan. The deadliest pandemic in U.S. history occurred in 1918, with about 675,000 deaths attributed to the Spanish Flu (H1N1 virus). The Swine Flu pandemic of 2009-2010 affected 40 people in the U.S. Modern medicine and quarantine protocols virtually rule out the possibility of widespread infections which would affect the populace here to the point of causing a complete shutdown of factories or major disruptions in a specific area You got it right, Tom.
  7. Wouldn't happen if the kits were produced here. The only thing they'd worry about would be an occasional injection molding machine operator union strike.
  8. You're welcome, Mike. Well, they often call me Speedo. But my real name is Mr. Earl
  9. It is. This was released in 2010.
  10. Nice haul Kurt! Spot Model is a great store to donate your money.
  11. imgur is a great alternative to P(iss in the)hotobucket.
  12. Picked up a Revell 1962 Dodge Lancer an AMT 1962 Chrysler Imperial Hardtop and an AMT 1959 Lincoln convertible
  13. According to the instruction sheet for AMT 626, there are roadster and chopped coupe bodies along with two separate frames.
  14. Knowing about what you're talking about contributes to many aspects of life, model building included. Get a copy of Thomas W. Mather's "A Text-Book of the Strength of Materials and of Stresses in Structures: For Use in Scientific High Schools and Schools of Technology" and you'll appreciate why specific terminology should be used in its correct context and meaning, not as some nonsense peddled by a marketing department. I still have my high school copy. If you're going to make it look like the stuff used on a real car, you are, in fact, attempting to reproduce a scale version of what is used on a real car. Heed your own advice, bud.
  15. Take the dive and grab one. The ability to vacuform thinner, clearer window glass makes it worth having. I'm going to remove the pump mechanism and add a PVC elbow joint so I can connect my vacuum cleaner to increase forcing down of the heated sheets over bucks.
  16. Yeah, you can. Right HERE. Available separately: Vac-U-Form Oven Cover Stainless Steel Vacuum Cover Vacuum Pump Upgrade/Repair Kit Heavy Duty Rubber Feet or, as a complete kit for 25 bucks: Vac-U-Form Upgrade Kit Get some extra 1/4" PTFE High Temperature Fiberglass/Teflon Tape to wrap around the base of the vacuum platform. This will stop vacuum leakage when the sheet holder closes over it.
  17. Probably is. The same color from a car manufacturer can have twenty or more different names and color codes spanning multiple model years. Quoting Jim Mattson (former COPO office at GM): That last comment opens up a lot of interesting possibilities.
  18. The color was Road Commission Orange. It was a special order color available for the 1967 Camaro and 1969 Chevelle. Road Commission Orange 1967 Chevrolet Camaro
  19. Hey, people buy empty kit boxes with a couple of junk parts thrown in for more than that.
  20. Hmmmm....I have been described as "full".
  21. It's essentially the same as Novus 2; except, you get twice as much Novus 2 (2 Fl. OZ. vs. 1 FL. OZ. for BMF polish) for the approximately the same price.
