Have you tried two-part clear epoxy glue? For the IMC J-car the headlights were flat, so I piled it into a dome. If what you are talking about are rounded, then a thin even layer might give the impression of a lens.

Who gets asked to fix something, just because you're known for building models? ? Wife said her laptop sound wasn't working, and couldn't plug in the cord for the speakers used for her job. I tried to plug in my cord, obvious that it wouldn't. Looked in the hole, looked in my laptop's hole, then I could see a tip had come off. Eyeballed the size of the stub, went to the workbench. Used a sprue, drilled a hole in the end. Came back, dabbed some superglue in the sprue hole, stuck it in the hole. At that point, wife said we better find a YouTube video about how to pull that out, found a dude who used a soldering iron and copper wire, said "it should be a variable voltage type" (yea everyone has one of those), "just get a little solder on the end, then carefully" ..... I'm sitting, giving her a funny look .... "oh yea be sure it's not under warrantee and turned off" .... I have one of those grins, she's looking worried ....... "and if it is, just have them do it" ........ she's looking at me, worried about the glue ......... "and if it doesn't work the first time, just add more solder on the end" ........ I start giving her $#i* and laughing ......... "but here is one that worked!" Figured that was enough time for the glue to have set. I rise from the Lazyboy, stroll over to her laptop, carefully grab the sprue with both hands, gently pull out (I couldn't cross my fingers, so had an exaggerated grimace ?), and what do you know! ? You have a story?

Thank you! BTW: we need to click the cookie warning, not doing that.

Thank you for the very detailed tutorial. But I still have a dumb question, picture of one tube, but you talk about mixing two parts?

So..... I searched "scriber" hoping to see something more recent. I just looked at eBay > Toys & Hobbies > scriber tool and found a ton of different style tools that ranged from what looks like super narrow chisels, photo-etch saw blades, templates, scrapers for edges and mold lines, holy cow! Most made in China. I've seen the type of line chisel that is a hook that you drag, carbide, but really expensive, and hard to find. I see in a previous post the Trumpeter tool, which I saw, looks good enough to try out. Anyone have experience with the latest?

I had used up the 100 generic #11 blades that I got last century, ordered from eBay 100 more with a handle, received today. I know they aren't authentic X-acto, box has inspix, but cost $10.99. I don't think twice when a blade stops working well, to change it out.

My neighbor is a guide for Colorado River running. He was at the bottom of the Grand Canyon that day, noticed the lack of air traffic, but didn't have contact with home until he ended the trip.

Maybe this picture will help. ? It was a blast to hear and watch them in action. And will throw another one in from the same 2015 Prescott rally. I got to ride in a 5 (I think) at the Ramada Express Rally, for demonstration runs, the sound of the dirt hitting the bottom was really something. This was after he fixed his car after ditch-rolling on the first stage, which I got video of. Ok, sorry for hijacking your thread, back to the regularly scheduled program.

Wow, so you have the real deal! ? I've seen a few in their natural element, on rally stages. ? Won't show you the one that crashed near the end of the last stage, when they led by a wide margin. Cheering you on, I'll get off your lawn!

Thanks for answering.

Wife woke me up (she was an early riser, live in AZ) and said "you *have to* see this". Was in shock. In shock today to see "some people did some things" is not met with passionate Patriotism, and conspiracy theories is used for what I don't know. Better just leave it there.

Just because I built this very kit last century, look forward to seeing how this turns out. Typical Tamiya quality is excellent, other than lacking the engine. What tool are you using to scribe with?

Which is the driver's side? ⬅️➡️⬆️ That is a museum work of art, a league of it's own.

I got that grill, have not built anything yet. I owned a '69, and currently a '68, you be the judge. The taillights are horrible nevertheless.

Nice Cowboy Cadillac! I also would like to say the mud is very well done, like on the bottom of the mirrors, wiper tracks, overall I can tell you thought out every glop.

That's pretty sweet! I have to assume it's a race car that's retired to do track time. The paint job looks great. I also sympathize about doing the window frame/gasket, one of my challenges. Does the kit have an engine?

Went to Dollar Tree to get hair ties, also looked at nail 'polish' and found this teal that should find it's way onto a worthy project.
