  1. Funny you ask...... someone said white 'Tamiya' putty (FB Estes group), use your finger to spread/press down. The risk is masking tape pulling it up. I have cross-overed a few things such as painting. Since I'm here, I tripped over the wire for the ancient launch controller and destroyed it (but didn't fall down 😅), knew Hobby Lobby had one, so now I'm in this century. First launch was the Mercury Redstone's first launch. Since it takes two hands to use the launch controller, I started on the tripod, then picked up after I watched where it apogee happened.
  2. I finished a model! 🎉 But not a car, it's the old Centuri/Estes Mercury Redstone. I also 'weathered" it, as the moment Alan Shepard became the first American in space. I was also born less than a month later, and wanted this as a kid, so I'm reliving my childhood.
  3. There is a bird that has taken to pooping on my Honda. I looked out one day and saw it, but didn't have my shotgun handy. Lived here almost 40 years, never had this, and the car is a 2016.
  4. Since I don't live *in* CA, but next door, this is not surprising. I wouldn't buy this book, unless there is a lesson to be learned.
  5. deep into regulations
  6. Hello! Welcome to the forum, I see this is your first post. 😀 It is too clean. 😆
  7. I got lost, and have returned. 🙄 How much Carbon Fiber would you like?
  8. Right on, thank you!
  9. with ulterior motives
  10. It's very specialized who is doing machining and tool making now, on shore, firearms for instance, but yes CAD is it. Thanks for the blast from the past.
  11. Love your weathering! It is a very nice kit, have one in the stash, even though I built Tamiya VW Beetle GSL Common Kit build - Tribute of parent's 1960. The only thing missing is a FOR SALE sign with $500.
  12. Alaska missing persons
  13. Been seeing so many customized Porsches lately, that I've fogotten about this thread! Just saw a completely redone BMW 2002, guess there needs to be a new BMW Outlaws topic started.
  14. I'm reading the comments, so many cases of life happening, then not. I just watched this, one man's collection, now he seems to see life is running out, and the cycle of life will continue with or without us....
  15. Just the tire weathering alone, that pulls it into a fantastic build.
  16. breaking bulbs, shrapnel
  17. Up chucking from those parties, if I only knew.
