Way cool. Love the location. Now I know fire extinguishers are blue.

Lead foil, from the black market.

got run over

It's whatever I own at the moment. I had a '48 Chevy 5 window pickup, a '57 Chevy 4 door station wagon, a '69 Chevy pickup, currently a '68 Chevy pickup, so for today 1968. Also had an '88 Oldsmobile but that doesn't count.

I know many of us are frustrated with the vapor-locking website here. It could be worse, and beyond anyone's control. https://news3lv.com/news/local/geomagnetic-storm-heading-toward-earth-could-produce-auroras-in-us

because of software

This is only an opinion guess shot-in-the-dark. It's not that you want some of the carbon color to show through the paint (yellow?), but the texture seen from light reflection? I would think, that if the decal is not totally snug down, you will have creases, and the edges will show more obviously when painted. I've painted seats using a brass screen as a mask, to get a fabric pattern. I suggest spraying the color through a screen, and then a light mist with the same color. I'm willing to bet that will create more of the texture, than a decal with a very thin silkscreened layer. It shouldn't be a big deal the sheet of "carbon-fiber" is accurate, would have a few screen pieces prepared for the curves, and of course flat sections are duh flat. But what do I know, I have a Porsche GT1 that I've wanted to do the prototype of, before it was painted, but am afraid to.

LMAO I would go for that!

All I want is a windshield squirter aimed backwards on my spoiler, filled with WD40, for tailgaters.

Thanks for the update. Its not as spectacular of a failure as when Flickr did their "awesomeness" update, that was legendary.

pictures, maybe not

Drag and drop not working for me now. Notice says it's downloading, waited much longer than before, never uploaded.

Seen you before. Another word for crazy. Thank you!

*edit* Hey, this worked for me! Thanks Russell.

This reminds me of when Flickr decided "more awesomeness" was needed, and they so trashed their website that people bailed. They made it like a firetruck had a garden hose. It was legendary to tech geeks, simply annoying to everyone else. If we are forced into using another site to host photos, that's about a dozen more steps. If cost is an issue, I would be willing to subscribe for using this forum. Let's see if this works.....

There was a problem processing the uploaded file. -200 So, the forum has been "improved".

Yea, server changes eh? I've appreciated being able to post pictures directly. I can go through the extra effort using Flickr..... expect less activity.

Figures, after I said I've been able to post pictures, ain't working today!

I'm wondering why it took so long to try it. I have another project that will require one. It's a tool that is intended for cutting rigid polystyrene insulation, which model railroad layout builders use for making mountains. I make supports for taking finished models to shows inside the box. The hobby shop that is called Hobby Bench carried it, but I think any legit hobby shop has it. It has a spring loaded trigger, nicrhrome wire heats up in a couple of seconds.

I thought cyberspace was limited here, but have been posting a ton of photos. Nevertheless, I checked out your dioramas! Green stamps, that's something that brings back vague memories. You make glass boxes for them?

Welcome! Think we all have similar stories, all or nothing regarding our hobby. One of my daughters lives in Homer, which must be like Florida to you.
