I'll echo Bob's comments about longevity of the pen. I've probably ruined more than I've had dry out on me. They are great and I believe priced right. Again, as was mentioned, coupon cutting makes the sets and the singles cheap! Both Hobby Lobby and Micheal's offer coupons on a weekly basis. http://www.gellyroll.com/products/pens/pig...igmamicron.html Chris

Rob, I'm a fan of Sony camera's. I've had three of them and still have two. I definitely understand your quandary with batteries. I've also had very good use of Canon and Nikon. But these are DSLR's I was using. If you want just a point and shoot I still think one of those companies will have something to offer with the battery style you want. The other thing to look for is what type of memory it has and how to get your images on the computer. I know the three manufacturer's I suggested do offer a AA battery camera. Just not sure of the MP. The best thing I can say is hit the stores and check out each camera and actually play with it at the store. I was at Best Buy and Ritz camera just about daily playing with two camera's I was interested in. I read a lot of reviews and played with a lot of cameras before deciding. In the end it's your money and for what you want to spend I think you can get it done. Prices seem to fall daily. Good Luck! Chris

James, I really love it. It's so clean and looks fantastic. I like your color combination. My absolute favorite Porsche. Just a real sexy car in my opinion. You did a great job on it! Chris

I didn't realize that kit built out of the box that well! WOW, nice work. I might just have to pick that up now. Thanks for sharing! Chris

Those are great looking Mustangs! I really need to get mine back on the bench! Chris

James, I use a variety of sizes. I took a quick look and I use mainly .05 but I do have a few .005's, either way either size should do you good. I have them in a variety of colors too. They are Pigma Micron brand pens. You can purchase them singly or by an assortment. Right now Michaels and Hobby Lobby have 40% off coupons that will surely cut the cost. You can find these at Hobby Lobby, Michaels or any fine art store. Hope this helps! Chris

Thanks guys. Antonio, I have the R32, R33 and the old school Skyline in que. I'm thinking of matching them all and using their appropriate decals. This is my first Skyline and I look forward to building the others. Steve, thanks for the compliment! Chris

Ismael, all I can say is WOW! What details! Chris

That looks like a very convincing cop car. Great work! Chris

Beautiful color for a beautiful car. I look forward to your progress. So far so good! I think you'll be happy when you finish the polish job. Chris

Been working on this off and on a few months. Due to a new job which allows me less hours I have been banging on this at night before bed. Today I have off and was able to complete it. Tamiya Nissan R-34 Nismo Z-Tune Zero Paint Chrome Silver Tamiya Photo Etch What a great kit as are almost all Tamiya kits. Here are a few pictures with more at MY FOTKI! Thanks Chris

Took my annual trek to Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis today. The weather was PERFECT! Most cars I have ever seen at this show. Sadly no Countach today. My most favorite, The Aston Martin Vanquish: Ferrari F430 Spider: Another all time favorite the 575M: Cute little Porsche: Enjoy 236 pictures at MY FOTKI Chris

Hopefully Fotki is working! Here is my Miami Vice Daytona: Chris

Marcos, that is gorgeous! I knew it would be from your in progress shots though. I love the engine details. Great work! Chris

Wow! That is so cool! I love looking at dio's, so much to see! I like the half naked lady in the window! LOL I was a toddler in 72, 2 years old.... Chris

Hey Mike! Glad to see you here. I was wondering when you'd make the trek over here from over there! LOL Chris

Glad to see you here Jackie! Always enjoy the Hot Wheels models you build. Chris

Wow Lyle! Thanks for the great pictures! Looks like a helluva nice show!. Chris

Wow, that is cool! Nice work! Chris

I'm with Bob, their is so much they could do with that 99 Cobra. Bullitt version, Mach version, etc... Chris

Gregg, and news on getting this to more national news stands? I've requested Model Cars magazine at Barnes and Noble a couple times this month already. This same, new, big, B&N doesn't even carry SA, of which I requested that too. What kind of information do I have to give these guys to get Model Cars to them?? Chris

Great pictures! If you can photo shop the other stuff out they would really look cool. Thanks! Chris

That's such a pretty car. Elegant, fast. You built it like the box art, which looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Chris

Thanks Bill! Here is a shot of my Miami Vice Daytona interior using my floss and clear glue method: Packages of floss come in over 100 different colors and then some. 1 package of floss is around 39 cents and will last you an entire modeling life. Floss is stranded by three and I pull the strands apart for that extra thin piece as you mentioned. Anyway, the results on your car are fantastic. I'm from the school of, "whatever works, go with it"! Chris

Beautiful paint! It looks great. Thanks for sharing! Chris
