Apparently your profit margin is much larger than you thought.

Send me your bosses' number, I wish to inform him that you will now be working for free.

Welcome Jake.

Unique take on the '67 Charger. The red accents give me a few ideas for a future build.

Molotow Liquid Chrome. $8-13 depending on where you get them. Amazon is quickest, but more expensive. There are other online art supply shops that also sell and ship. Will have to do a little research to find the right choice for you. Some charge a fair amount for shipping, while others are more reasonable. Good alternative for BMF, IMO, but it can flow readily so you may need to mask off what you are painting.

I like the idea, but in all the photos all I am drawn to is the windshield area. I think it would need to be laid back some. I think a mild chop works. I also do not like the opening behind the front wheel. Not sure how to effectively fix that, but I feel the opening is out of proportion to the rest of the car. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

This guy nailed it!!

I tried rushing things when I started airbrushing and got some weird results to say the least. I now let everything dry at least a week before I move on to the next step. Results are more consistent now.

Look forward to seeing this progress. I am amazed at what skilled folks can do with figures. I personally have trouble painting a 1/25 scale car body a single color.

Welcome! Glad to hear your son is getting into the hobby as well.

email Norm, he can send you a current price list. I believe he has a catalog, that has photos of some of his parts. I think you have to buy it. I have not seen it personally, I am lucky enough to be able to see his merchandise once a month at our club meeting. Shoot Norm an email or give him a call, see what he has and what he can provide. I agree with Pete, everyone is happy with our current technological state. A pen, 3 part carbon paper and a calculator made a lot of folks rich in the past.

I was wondering if there was room for improvement on these kits. I guess we will find out.

For the same reason there are different cars and colors available for the cars. One size does not fit all. Different people have different tastes and different reasons for owning dogs. What are your thoughts on a breed like Chihuahua. In my experience, they are the meanest dogs on the planet. 3 of the 4 I have been around would have killed me if they could. Most folks would say they would be a great family pet....not me. I have been around one English Bull Terrier and she was a sweetheart. I have been around about a dozen different "Pit Bulls" and none of them was ever aggressive toward me. All they ever wanted was a belly rub or their ears scratched. Occasionally you get a hardheaded dog but in most cases the dog is a reflection of it's owner and training. I believe for a time (maybe in the 30's or 40's) the English Bull Terrier was one of the most popular dog breeds.

I believe it. He probably has a degree in mathematics to back it up too.

We are in the Off Topic Lounge section of the forum. There are a LOT of non-model building topics here. Some would say that is exactly why this area is here. Just like in all the other areas of this forum, we should be respectful of the other members.

Glad you found your way back Tim. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Richard.

Welcome Scott. Looking forward to seeing your work.

I think that will be true early on, but will diminish as time goes by. The home team will need to depend on this scenario to continue if they want to remain in Vegas. The stands will also be filled with visiting team fans. That is not an ideal situation for long term success. All this is made easier if the Raiders continue to win. If they go back to losing, the city's love affair with the new team will quickly pass. Teams changing cities always provide immediate financial gains to the new city.

I don't think Las Vegas is going to be a good NFL city. The Raiders will eventually be moving back to Oakland and into a new stadium. My guess is that this will last 10-15 years at best. This is all about money, of course.

There are several motorcycle builds down in the "All The Rest" section of the board. Browse through those and you can see the amount of detail the different scales offer. You might be able to decide on a scale that way.

No we don't just smile and give information, but we shouldn't have to be demeaning just because of what he is trying to do or the fact that he is a teenager. We should have taken the high road and just said this isn't the place for what you are trying to do. Read back through this thread and see what it has deteriorated into. We have ended up against each other, for what we had to say and how we said it.

I agree with Rob. The sports card boxes are great.

I don't think eviscerating an actual member of the forum is allowed. I went back and reread the whole thread up to this point..... I am glad this forum (including myself here) doesn't go after all new members this way. Whether we think it is warranted or not.
