? WHAT, you mean the plug-in heater units do not work as advertised. Wonder if I can get my money back? Also a bit concerned about that instant weight loss pill I ordered. Just so thrilled with "modern science/technology". And "No, I do not want to buy an extended repair warranty on my car or to have my (non-existent) time share taken care of!."

Exceptionally nice looking boat and that is definitely an impressive engine. Don't think I would want to ski behind it - would have to hope it would dislocate your shoulders before the exhaust burned you. Very nice build.

Cool looking Trike; really like all three. Just wondering how anyone could get inside that thing to drive it. Recently purchased the Taco Trike at WalMart, don't know why I am not a motorcycle person.

This is a great little pickup. Have built a couple over the years, still waiting for a repop of the dually stakeside version. Here is a picture of one I built last year, Has the modified flathead from the AMT '49 Mercury kit.

Haven't had much experience with embossing powder, I still have a large supply of many different (useless) colors of flocking I bought off Ebay several years ago. However, I believe embossing powder can be painted over once applied to the interior, therefore allowing you to have whatever color interior you wanted.

Just be sure you don't get the filters mixed up; could make for some mighty toxic coffee. I also have a strainer I use. It looks similar to a funnel but the bottom is a really fine mesh. I place it in the funnel I use to return the SC to the jug; it will remove 90%+ of the contaminants and it helps me find those really small pieces I forgot I put in the strip tank.

Will probably get a warning for this response. It is difficult to hire those who do not want a job or want to come back to work. The government sponsored free-ride is a large part of the problem.

Really cool dragster, nice clean build. Looks like the box art, even to the improperly placed steering link - should be under the headers next to the frame. The instructions also show it on top of the headers.

This is an often asked question, you might want to look through this thread http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/search/?q=paint booth&quick=1&type=forums_topic&search_and_or=and You should be able to find almost any information you want.

That is one fine looking Mustang. Had to look at that first picture a few times to determine if it was a model or for real; the background diorama is beautiful. Excellent work on a mighty fine build.

For some really colorful language, just drive a school bus. Actually, please do drive a school bus, there is a nationwide shortage of drivers.

Some really awesome builds. The Double Dragster kit was my grail kit for many years, so when it was reissued I picked up two of them (tin box and regular box). They are still languishing in my stock of "to build" kits. Only issue I have with this kit is the overly large front tires

Got my box of "parts" from Chris Chabre in today's mail; WOW, much more than I expected. Really appreciate the trade.

Very nice model, especially from what is considered a 'pig' of a kit. Looks like you solved many of the problems.

Well yeah, there is that.

Those are definitely some nice pieces of artwork. One of my favorites is the blue and orange station wagon/Nomad. The school I drive for has those colors. Thanks for sharing your work and reminding us we are getting older.

Or you could scratchbuild one. It is a little bit of work, but with some sheet stock and some half round styrene it is possible. I searched for pictures on the internet and copied them to the best of what I wanted. This is the engine and chassis of my SCRambler gasser. http://

Very pretty Galaxie, really like that color. Must have been a lot of fun foiling that beast; I had a real headache when I did my Starliner conversion of this kit.

Actually, I think he said, "then one will find another room". At least that has been my experience.

That is one mighty fine looking Thunderbird. Great job.

Very nice conversion. Agree, wish someone would reissue these.

But trying to scale down a Sears catalog could prove difficult.

Good looking start. If you are planning on a gasser you will need rear fenders, otherwise it will run altered class.

My only suggestion would be to let it dry sufficiently, week or so, than very carefully with 1000 or better grit paper, wet sand down to the enamel.

Not familiar with this kit so take this suggestion with a grain of salt. I am going to take a WAG (military term) and presume Grumpy did install subframe connectors on his Vegas. These are fairly easy to install on any frame, similar to the ones I did on my SCRambler. http://
