You are limited when you upload photos directly to the site. You can use larger photos if you host them on a site like Photo Bucket. They have a FREE program and I believe the PRO is only $25 per year. There are plenty of tutorials on how to use it, if you are interested.

It looks like you pull the lever for the fire suppression system. It seems to be positioned within reach of the driver.

From what I have read from other threads/posts, if the windows are curved, and you need to use a lot of putty to make the curve, be sure to use the correct putty. Some draws tight when drying and can pull your filler panel out or loose. Just something I remember reading recently, not something I have experience with.

This one is complete and made it to the Under Glass section. I am glad I decided to take up modeling again. It is very satisfying. I am actually aiming to complete everything I start, no matter how it turns out. Back in my youth, I would put everything back in the box if I messed something up. Now I try to figure out how to fix my mistakes. I am getting a lot of practice.

I just wish Round2 would let us know what tools they have.

The only thing I don't like about big signatures like that, is the amount of space it takes up and the extra scrolling I have to do.

Nice. If I saw that that place while out for a drive, I would stop to buy something.

They do need to level the playing field a bit more. I would like to see it where anyone can win. 99% of the time it is going to be between 4 or 5 drivers.

In extreme cases, you can go to 1:1 car parts suppliers, like Year One, for the correct paint. They do charge a premium though. That is where I got the correct turquoise color for the big block in one of my '67 Chargers.

You cannot block individual signatures, it is all or nothing. I believe you can ignore individuals and will no longer see some or all of their posts. Have never used it, so not sure what the options are.

I liked small tire racing, it was exciting. Wide tires will increase speeds as grip in the corners will be increased, so maybe there will be some great passes next year.

Leaves can blow in from the diorama next door Excellent work Richard.

Thanks for the link, it will come in handy for this and future builds.

If the thieves and scammers would turn their powers to good, we would all have free energy by now and cancer would be cured. Thieves, scammers and drug addicts are some of the most imaginative people I have come across.

I think it must be more than peripheral vision problems that my friend has. He is more worried about hitting pedestrians, as he lives in DC. He doesn't think he will be able to pass his next eye exam. He is in his 60's and otherwise in good health. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if i couldn't go for a drive whenever I wanted to. Some folks have Type 2 necks. The ones with their swivel apparatus fused together. I used to get angry with others much quicker than I do now. My work has recently taken me to several hospitals for different projects. After seeing many of the folks in there, my life isn't so bad. If it takes me a few minutes longer to get to where I am going, so be it. Much to the surprise of those who know me, I have mellowed with age. Now if that guy would have sat thru the green arrow, I would have gone and knocked on his window. I would be angry with him, but would ask him if he was alright.

I would like to see some fleetside pickup trucks that could be built stock or easily customized (but mainly stock). I think there are some out there, but it seems like you have to pay a premium for them.

In my humble opinion, this happens to everyone at some point and often goes in cycles. I for one have to pick and choose which threads I get involved with. It is usually a subject that I am curious about or a build that I know I am going to do eventually. I am not a very good modeler, so I usually don't get involved with the technical builds and modifications that the more experienced builders do. There are also A LOT of active threads on this forum (which is a very good thing) and it is hard to keep up with them all. I usually mark the site read a few times a week, just so I don't have to go thru multiple pages of unread posts to find the few that are interesting to me. I wouldn't take it personal. I have a few threads going and they usually don't get much interest. I post the stuff I want others to see, if they comment fine and if they don't, that's fine too. Don't throw your models in the bin. Build them because you want to. If you need input from others post up specific questions.

I have noticed this happens from time to time. If someone is asking for opinions on how to do something, I think it is OK to post a photo or a link to your own thread that supports your explanation on how to do it. I don't think it is appropriate to post photos just to show you built the same model or what color combination you chose. It is inevitable that a certain percentage of threads will get hijacked or sidetracked by another persons random post or photo. Sometimes it fits with what is going on in the original thread, sometimes it goes way off track. It happens on every forum I am a member of, whether model, fish or photography. All you can hope for is that the individual members police themselves and refrain from doing this or joining in when a thread goes off track.

I have a friend who does this. He has poor peripheral vision and figures it is better safe than sorry. He probably will not pass the next eye exam when he renews his license. Some sort of degenerative disease that affects his eyesight.

Well done John! You went for it and conquered it. It will get easier each time.

There may be a few customizers that try to pull it off. Wouldn't be much of a bed, but who cares

I saw the dog cages in the link. That gives me a few ideas when I finally build a wagon.

Call it a 'Devil 340' I will still buy it.

I am extremely happy with my color choices.
