I've got a couple shorty hobby knives from Great Planes (must have forgot I had one and bought a second), I can see this being much more useful in regular use over the shorty knives.

Went to top off the tires, shocks, and radiator on my Jeep so I could drive it to work while the lot is being partially repaved only to have the valve in the left front tire start giving me problems and I couldn't find a valve removal tool so I could pull it out and see if that was bad or if it just needed to be retightened........didn't bother to to check the water level at that point as it was too late to find an open parts store.

Just might stop by and buy one on Saturday!

That would be awesome for painting Lexan R/C bodies and making the blacked out portions of glass on models!

Well, this was fantastic, at work,we each have one of our calls pulled and graded on a scale of up to 100 points, with extra possible. The call if mine that was pulled last week wasn't great to me, although I've been told it was for somebody that is still as new to the job as I am. The number this week ended up being a full 100 points, and this is only my second truly full week on the phones!

Thanks guys, I'll give those a shot!

Always thought that generation of Willys would make a great kustom.

I know it can be done with painted as well as directly over plastic, but is there a good way to get the tampo printing off the current AMT tires? The lettering on the tires in the version of the Li'l Gasser I bought yesterday is printed with wording that wouldn't work with my intended theme and would like to go to bare sidewalls if possible.

Thanks, don't know if she's done it yet, but she was talking about get one in purple for her Challenger too.

40, but there were days before I got this desk job I'm at now, that I certainly felt 200 years old!

Picked up a Li'l Gasser that I might consider building in an Ethanol theme instead of gasoline........luckily, some of what's shown for decals can still be used! Then my Kid Sister got me the sun shade for my 200 for my birthday Friday.

And histerically stupid!

It does seem a bit like it was inspired by those two ships, yet it also shows a strong "stealth fighter" influence on top of that, as well as a "hides in plain sight" attitude if it's got the right backdrop on top of it.

This, this right here, Pearl Harbor would be bad enough 75 years later, but in an incident that was this soon and took even more lives was just in horribly bad taste. The death threats against the owner and his employees are equally horrible (makes me wonder if they would be safer on the West Side of Chicago at the moment), as would any attack that might happen to the building the business is in (especially if they're in a strip mall and not a stand alone building!) I really don't feel sorry for the owner, to be honest, who very well may have thought this was a good idea to make and air the ad.

Finished it up today, not my best work, but I am starting with a truck that is intended to be a kids toy, so it's a start at least! and the link to where the rest of the pics are!

Finished a Revell Build and Play Snap Jeep Wrangler tonight, since it's been a while since I've actually finished a build, these work great for trying to re-establish old skills! The "build thread", even though there isn't much there.

Sorry to hear another book store is going the way of the dodo bird.

Well, that mattress ad bit back rather hard! http://finance.yahoo.com/news/texas-mattress-retailer-shuts-down-040323975.html

Thanks Bill, it cost me about $70 if you include the Krackle and Coke I bought to munch on while I waited and the $10 tip I gave the guy, but was worth it after putting 20k on the car did since late March '15 with it only sitting for more than a couple hours while I was at work or at home in bed. To be honest, short of a full on detail job or going further and handling it over to a body shop to fix the body damage that is has received over the last 4 years (scratches on roof, both bumpers and rear bumper insert need replacement, drivers side rear door dent, none of which are mine, and now that white mark over the bumper on the right rear corner that might actually be mine ) and having a whole bunch of extra clear added over the touched up areas and on the still good areas to bring it back up to snuff...................

Took my 200 put for an overdue, yet well deserved wash and wax today.

It did, that's why that pre-production Viper ended up as the Pace Car that year, the UAW raised such a stink about it not being American that Chrysler had to make that switch. Makes me wonder if the Talon would have raised as big a stink, even though it was assembled here in Illinois.

Very nice, has a bit of a "Mild Custom" look look to it!

I wouldn't mind the vinyl top since the '70 Mom and Dad owned had one, but would love to see a 440 6-Pack/4-speed combo offered, since the same '70 was also so equipped.

I heard about that ad on the radio heading into work, how blankity, blanked, blanking stupid do you have to be to cook that ad up!

I picked up one of the Dragon Models kits of that ship, still have no idea when or if I might build it or even how, but I had to get one! Imagine being near an Iceberg field then suddenly this appearing out of it and pointed at you with it's guns at the ready!
