The search function in the forum software is awful. Look thru the 2nd thread that Casey posted above. It explains how to search the forum, while not logged into the forum. It provides MUCH better results.

Maybe he was referring to the K-member.

Just a reminder - Please don't randomly post photos of your builds in another member's WIP thread, unless you are trying to illustrate a particular item, skill or idea that may help the builder.

How about a Bonneville/dry lakes category?
Xingu replied to W Humble's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Some folks would post in the wrong section, even if we only had a single category called "Models" Too many categories would only cause more confusion.- 40 replies

How about a Bonneville/dry lakes category?
Xingu replied to W Humble's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
In the past, I have petitioned for a new category called "Other Racing." Nothing ever materialized. I was once told that the categories on the forum roughly follow those of the magazine.- 40 replies

Tamiya paint stands...
Xingu replied to ScaleAsylum's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I like the Tamiya paint stands, but have had the same problem. I taped mine together and use it with a lazy-susan while painting, so it still spins. -
I stand/lean. I have a drafting stool at my bench that I use so I am in between fully standing and sitting at normal chair height.

It will be bad again in the spring, when the mudslides start.

Sorry to see that last photo Brian. I hope everyone got out in time. Stuff can be replaced and wounds heal with time.

My wife and I are doing something similar to this even if I don't win the lottery. Go to closing next month on a piece of property, so that this will be my view in retirement.
-
That is what I told my wife. She said I would just take it as a challenge.

Error message on the forum's site
Xingu replied to ewetwo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I got this yesterday. I logged out and then back in and it went away. -
Gary, to answer your question.... you will need to try it for yourself and decide if it works for you. Try it on an old body to see if you like it. It is just another tool for modelers to work with. Some will find it easier than foil, some will not. Some will find it does just as good as foil, some will not. There is no right or wrong answer. I find it is good for touching up sprue attachment points and where I mess up the foil. I am not proficient with either, but both have a place in my toolbox.

I am just going to lock this. I am tired of the same arguments and tired of being asked to check out someone's blog.

I saw it live. I think he is still living in Hawaii.

I couldn't find it either. While searching, the Danny Ongais Indy car crash kept coming up. I remember seeing that on TV and can still picture it. One of the most horrifying crashes that I remember seeing.

Porsche 964 RSR Driven Only 6 miles
Xingu replied to afx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think the interior is why it was only driven 6 miles. Whoever buys it probably won't restore or drive it. Just let it sit for 5 years and sell it for a profit. -
I for one understand that if you don't have the part, you can't take a photo of it. Sometimes it is hard to Google up a reference photo too. I have boxes and bags full of parts that I have no idea what kit they came from. I probably have some really cool stuff, if I could only find the time to organize it. I know there are many folks on this board with the uncanny ability of determining what a part is and what kit(s) it can be found in. I do keep some of the older/rarer boxes to display in my room.

Ferrari metal transfer scripts?
Xingu replied to ismaelg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Check the Trading Post, I think someone may have these up for trade at the moment. -
If we are going to complain, lets keep it on topic and complain about the '68 Chevelle. No need to muddy the waters any further.

You are vulnerable every time you turn your computer/tablet/phone on and connect to the internet. Someone will find a way to get your information....eventually.

I had something similar happen maybe a year ago. Like Matt mentions, I think old versions become incompatible and the browser stops trying to use them.

Every now and then I get to participate like a regular member.

car you always dreamed of owning but always just out of reach
Xingu replied to youpey's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Glad that someone else appreciates the full size wagon. My wife thinks I am crazy for wanting one. -
I feel better knowing that I wasn't the only one searching in the Geo Metro rabbit hole.
