  1. I mainly listen to Classic Rock and Heavy Metal, but I do like a lot of Johnny Cash's material.

    Excellent! Thanks for sharing. That '50 looks great.
  3. Outstanding work Dale. Hard to pick a favorite...looks like a 14 way tie.
  4. x2 I am not a Ford (or Mercury) guy, but have always liked these cars.
  5. Steve, Are you sure Bill wasn't sending that Roadrunner to you so you could paint it and ship it back?
  6. I will bring both my kits over so you can show me how to do it. You may have to show me twice.
  7. Very nice. Dang it, you painted your truck the same colors as I was going to do.
  8. I think I would end up with non-rollers whether I tried to make them roll or not.
  9. Wow! Excellent work. Looks like it was a very productive 2016 indeed.
  10. Beauties. Seats on the Buick look awesome.
  11. Welcome. A little farther down the board is the Model Building Questions and Answers section. You may be able to find the answer to your questions without needing to ask. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks here that are willing to share what they have learned.
  12. Nicely done Curt. I almost bought this kit yesterday. I think I will pick one up next time I am at the LHS.

    My 2 for 2016

    Beautiful models Jeremiah
  14. Very clean and nicely detailed. Thanks for sharing these Tyrone. I really like that '68.
  15. Bad weather there can give you spectacular views and photos.
  16. Decided to clean another one off my bench. Finished it this morning. MPC 1974 Plymouth Road Runner
  17. There are folks who make a witch's brew of chemically melted styrene and use it for body filler, so it may be possible. Just need to figure out how to get it to release properly.
  18. I have no experience with this, but..... Could you cut a strip and spray color on the sticky side (so it would no longer stick)? Maybe rubbing alcohol or something similar would take the adhesive backing off. You could try it on a small sample to see if it turns out ok.
  19. Nicely done Richard.
  20. This is what happens to me as well, I just wait it out. I also run the AdBlocker that comes with Firefox and get the same results if it is on or off. Another thing to look out for is Auto Updates to some of your programs. My wife recently had to roll back to previous install of Chrome because the latest update was playing havoc on her computer and giving her the Blue Screen of Death. All went away when she went back to older version. So not all problems are automatically caused by this or any other website. Our computers can do funny things if things are not perfect, there are so many versions of the major programs we use that it is hard to keep optimum compatibility with them all.
  21. Nice work. That Slant-Six looks cozy in the Belvedere.
  22. Very nice lineup!
  23. Yep, me too. That is an interesting take on it.
  24. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoy building, I find it very relaxing. I don't get to upset if things don't turn out as planned, so even my poor looking models are a sucess. I can always start rebuilding the early builds when the stash runs dry.
