It's OK, we allow it. We will keep the light on for you when you return.

I would like to have some of those driving rigs they use. Would make it more enjoyable to use a driving simulation.

No more virus talk, please.

possible bug while sending private messages
Xingu replied to STYRENE-SURFER's topic in How To Use This Board
If you go to a members profile page you can add to their "Activity Feed" I believe that may be what you are seeing. Kind of like posting on someone's Facebook page. I could be completely wrong too, as I have not used that function. -
I would suggest everyone return to model building discussions. Snake has used his gypsy fortunetelling abilities to see in to the future.

Day 2 is open to interpretation. IMO you guys will need to be very specific about what your definition is. For what it's worth my definition would be factory options, paint color, wheel combos, etc... that were not necessarily available for that particular model, but the factory offered them on other vehicles manufactured at the same time. So engine swaps would be included in my definition as long as the factory offered it in a different model.

COVID-19 has brought out the tinfoil hat crowd again...
Xingu replied to Mike C's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Well aside from the link in the first post, which may be political (I didn't click it and I bet a lot of others didn't either) this thread was allowed to remain, as long as it remained civil, so members could voice their concerns about something that dominates the news. As usual, it has turned members against each other, just like a lot of the threads in the Off-Topic area. Maybe we should just make this STRICTLY a model forum and not allow any other discussions. I know my life would be easier if the Off-Topic area wasn't here. Keep it civil or don't post. It's all fun and games until you or someone you know gets the virus. Then the numbers and percentages won't matter. It wont matter that they did or didn't shut down your favorite bar, your town or state. A very large number of members of this forum are older and many have existing health conditions that really put them at risk if they get it. Remember that if you are asking about someone in the Where's Waldo section this summer. -
COVID-19 has brought out the tinfoil hat crowd again...
Xingu replied to Mike C's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Lets hope your facts are not true. These are based on the numbers you posted. I hope none of us get it. Flu: 1 out of every 1.6 million die. COVID-19: 1 out of every 72 die -
I merged the two threads. In the future, please do not post the same thread just because you didn't get replies from the first one. As you know, threads like this have a very short leash. Keep it respectable and it can stay open.

Everyone, please go back and read the rules BEFORE you post in this area. Recently, a few folks have posted threads without having their full name listed. If you are not willing to list your full name, you cannot use the Trading Post or Wanted sections of this board.

Thanks for the update. Glad everything went well.

I hate threads like this.....they always cost me money. A few new books are on the way.

Corona Virus (Covid 19) and Model Kits
Xingu replied to Daddyfink's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Stay away from politics, the conversation is headed in that direction. -
Awake and talking today.

Somewhere along the way we have forgotten about models again. We took a very nice tutorial about mimicking something in scale and argued about what it should be called. Lets call it a modelling technique and leave it at that. If you want to argue about 1:1 applications, take it to another thread and be sure to keep it civil, as once again several folks have taken it upon themselves to make things personal. If it continues, I will just remove all the posts that do not pertain to the modelling technique that Matt has been nice enough to share with us.

How did this Revell 55 Chevy become so valuable?
Xingu replied to Brutalform's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Relisted and sold for $9.99 -
You would like it here TJ. Our office is at the end of one of the runways at Andrews AFB. When the airshow comes to town I get a week of fly-ins, practice, two days of shows and then fly-outs. Watching the WWII bombers fly-in is probably my favorite.

Gregg posted an update on Facebook, but it doesn't look like he put on the MCM home page.

You can always install an ad blocker if they bother you too much. The ads are what help keep this forum free to use. I have learned to just scroll past them.

Delay of New model kits-Round2, Revell
Xingu replied to Bob Ellis's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We will start with locking this disaster down and placing everyone who contributed on moderation. Then we will get together and see if anyone needs to be removed from this site. -
He is not asking how to correct/fix the '69. He is asking how the factory mold was changed from fairly accurate '68 to create the '69. I think he feels they are two completely separate molds and one was not modified to create the other. Anyone have any history to confirm that the '68 was modified to create the '69?
-
I appreciate those of you who jumped off the train before it crashed and tried to keep the thread on topic. Will just go ahead and lock it down now.
