I moved this to the resin section for the time being. Will have to get with the boss to see how he wants to handle someone asking for money in Kickstarter.

Sloped nose, aero ridges and valleys, side air intake pods. Of course they are going to look similar. All the mid engine cars look similar. I think they all look like Mclarens from a decade ago, with side intakes added on. I like them all. Corvette will still be, far and away, the best bang for your buck. There will still be folks that consider it a peasant car, even after their Ferrari lost to it on the track.

You're probably right. Half a Ferrari is probably still a problem, if you didn't pay the licensing fees.

Excellent reference. Now if we could only convert those colors into available Tamiya and Testors paint lines.

Why not just build the whole body and mount it to a chassis? I guess it is accurate, but I don't have an actual 250 GTO to compare it to, so I can't be sure. He can hang it on the wall right next to where the Lego Bugatti is parked. I didn't do any research or anything, but given what I saw in the video, it looks like a commissioned piece by a metal working tool manufacturer.

I worked on several commercial projects that had plaster that the owners wanted repaired/replaced. Both projects could have saved 6-figures if they would have taken down the plaster and replaced with drywall. To top it off, the plaster on both projects looked horrible. Unless you have to keep it for historic reasons, I would go with drywall. Looking forward to seeing what you find in the walls.

Will have to see them in person to decide if I like them or not. I also liked the C6 (owned 2) better than the C7 although I do like the ZR1. The C6 was the 1st Corvette that I liked since the '67.

I agree, I hate the extra step. I just did it in the post above to make sure it worked. Not sure when Dave is going for try number 3 on the update. Hopefully when we get it to work, it will fix a bunch of the little problems the board has.

I you must use a different font, you can copy your post over from a text editor and paste it into the forum. With all the 404 errors, I think it is best to keep posts as simple as possible.

There is always some value in the VIN and title.

While many do not like the looks of the F-22 Raptor, it is a thing of beauty when you see it fly.

After running this by Dave, he thinks we can go ahead and leave truck related questions in the Q&A area as well. They just need to be tagged with "Truck" so the car folks can just skip over them. Since maybe 5% of the folks here use tags, mods will be adding the tags to the threads.

Hobby Lobby is a retailer and has no control over what comes out. Look at the manufacturers if you want to know what is coming out each quarter. Hobby Lobby will more than likely get them soon after release.

If you ask how to modify a specific TRUCK kit, it belongs in the truck section. If you don't put it there yourself, expect it to get moved.

We have a section devoted to trucks, vans, SUVs, industrial and commercial equipment of all sizes. There are separate sub-categories for big rigs and light trucks. If you post something that falls into one of those categories in a place other than the truck section it will probably get moved. There aren't as many sub-categories in the truck section and a lot of general discussions and questions will end up in the Truck Stop. Sometimes we catch them when they are originally posted and sometimes a member will report it to us so that we can look into it and move it if necessary. Sometimes we catch them years later when someone digs up an old thread. We have the same problem (to a lesser extent) with NASCAR and Drag Racing vehicles. They also have their own sections. We actually encourage folks to report threads and posts that they think are in the wrong place. We do have a few folks who refuse to do this and would rather make comments like the ones we have seen in this thread. I personally tend to leave small pick-up trucks from the 20's in the car section. Most everything else gets moved into the truck section. The other moderators may view them differently.

I flagged so Dave can look into it.

To do it properly, yes. I usually have several pieces getting sprayed the same color and by the time I am done with a coat on all the parts, it is time to start at the beginning with the next coat. Most times, I can finish spraying without having to stop and clean.

Yes, the paint dries quickly and will clog the tip when it does. You cannot let it sit for very long. It is best to do as Geoff says, empty and clean it right away otherwise it can get pretty gummed up and not work properly.

Scroll thru this thread. There is a simple fix for it.

What would happen is that a thread that would normally have 10-15 constructive comments would end up having 2 comments and 30 thumbs up. Eventually, the two folks that posted comments would just start giving thumbs up. The way it is setup now, makes folks interact if they want to say something. Way to easy to just click "Like" and move on. Not that much harder to type out a comment about the things you like about someones build.

Not necessarily my favorite, but I have owned these two for 25 years or so.

It never actually went away. We are hoping that the software upgrade fixes it. Dave just has to free up the time to try it again, it didn't take on the first try.

There are many threads where this has been discussed. Not going to happen. Gregg knows the trouble it would cause. Use eBay, they are set up for the disputes.

Now we have gone off-topic. I am sure someone will post more info if/when it becomes available. A company does not need to make a statement when they discontinue something. They can just stop making it. For those worried if the line will no longer be available, please stock up on your favorite colors.
