  1. Decided to clean another one off my bench. Finished it this morning. MPC 1974 Plymouth Road Runner
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Nicely done Richard.
  5. 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.
  6. Nice work. That Slant-Six looks cozy in the Belvedere.
  7. Very nice lineup!
  8. Yep, me too. That is an interesting take on it.
  9. 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.

    My 2016

    Nice collection. You made great use of your available time.
  13. Beautiful work Cliff.
  14. Bill, both of those came out great. The threat of losing your eyesight is pretty darn scary, so we will give you a pass for this year. I will be sure to come up and introduce myself if we both happen to end up at the same MAMA meeting.
  15. Nice work Jay. All that work on the '55 interior paid off, it looks great.
  16. Great work Tulio. I like both versions of the Galaxie.
  17. Very nice work. I really like the Mini.
  18. Excellent work. Your model building skills and the way that you present them in the photographs, makes them very realistic.
  19. Love that Fiat. They are one of the classic drag cars and they still look great on the track today.
  20. That is a nice lineup of vehicles. Thanks for sharing.
  21. Very nice Steve. I always look forward to seeing your work and appreciate the progress shots and descriptions of what you did to achieve those great results.
  22. Very nice. Keep posting photos and I will keep looking at them.
  23. Nice variety and they all look great.
  24. Paul, I must say I am a little jealous. Quality AND Quantity. Doesn't get any better than that. Can't wait to see what you come up with in 2017.
  25. Nice group of models and an excellent way to show them off.
