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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hey, people buy empty kit boxes with a couple of junk parts thrown in for more than that.

Hmmmm....I have been described as "full".

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.

Hey Steve, when are you going to sweep out yer inbox?

They aren't based on Aurora molds. They were produced by Revell/Monogram using the actual Aurora molds which were obtained in 1977 when then-owner Nabisco sold all plastic kit tooling to Monogram.

My fault. I didn't leave a space between the colon and modelcarsmag like this: http://site: modelcarsmag.com rubbing/buffing out the paint

Methods are like nose hairs, everybody has their own. Since the board's search function is less than useless when using specific search parameters, try this: http://site:modelcarsmag.com rubbing/buffing out the paint You'll get specific results to your question. A whole lotta them.

I'd rather see that than incessant habit of quoting an entire post (usually multiple times within a thread), complete with every last photo included, just to comment with, "Nice job!" or to ask what brand of flat black paint was used for the battery.

Actually, zip codes were introduced in 1963. One of my favorite USPS TV commercials when I was a kid in the early-mid '60s was shown during the Christmas shopping season suggesting, "Shopping early, mailing early, use the handy zip code every day."

That's Aurora 567-1, which was released in 1962. The previous Jaguar kit was 566-149, which was the coupe. After the Aurora molds were acquired by Monogram, it was reissued in 1978 as Kit 2243 and by Revellogram in 1997 as Kit 2907 Unlike the coupe, Aurora 567-1 was never reissued by Revellogram since the Revell convertible was a superior kit. These are the instructions for 2907. They can be used to build any of those three kits.

Yup, Future does the job. I also use it myself. I suggested the white glue because it's easier to find than Future. S.C. Johnson needs to work on its distribution, which blows.

Brush diluted (consistency of skim milk) Elmer's Glue over the area where the decal is to be applied. Apply the decal and carefully blot it down onto the surface. When dry, remove the dried glue residue from the decal and surrounding areas with a damp cloth and dish washing liquid.

NYPD used Galaxie RMPs '69-'70. No wheel opening, drip rail or other bright trim except for the windshield and rear window mouldings.

This was originally released bu Aurora in 1965. This kit has been reissued three times by Revellogram since 1978 (Monogram 2246), Monogram 77003, in 1991 and, the last being in 1996 with the original Aurora box art. My opinion, it's a nice, detailed kit which can be built into a real good looking model. As far as price, it can fluctuate between extremely inexpensive to ridiculously expensive. Some ebay listings.

Peter Stuyvesant could've kicked the football for a touchback using his right leg.

Treat Reliable Resin the same way you would nerve agents - avoid all contact.

Just hack off a piece of a chrome tree, wrap some wire into a loop, tape it to the top of the chrome tree piece and jam the whole megillah into the hole. Nobody will be able to tell the difference.

One part of the origin tale That, and reading film credits for some flick, "Sfan" was some production stooge's first name "Goch" was the surname of another.

The 1932 Imperial Roadster has that safe.
