who dated anyone

Thank you for posting this! I left a comment on the video.

I'm consistently inconsistent, I don't like to follow the herd, or do something "normal". My first love is sports cars, but I have been doing off-road subjects lately. I will do Out Of The Box to bust a slump. Then I get sucked into a hero build, that takes 200 hours. I have more ideas than time left, shelf life date should be expired. If people quit wanting me to draw their projects, I would be a happy camper.

I saw the Nakamura version on an obscure site, decided not to because their C-111 is horrid. Think it's the same mold?

I have the 356A Speedster, the Fujimi version. I never saw the BMW Alpina turbo E.S. before, so I *had to* get it. I never saw an Austin Healey before either, but that doesn't mean it's rare. I'm digging seeing all the really rare, and old kits in this topic!

You are welcome. Thank you! Appreciate it. ?

I should follow up, and say the two on each side work with the opened hinges.

One way trip.

Stores selling vacuums suck.

More than one way to skin a cat, as someone said. For my last build, of a Studebaker pickup, this is what I did. Plastruct rod for a start, with a wire pin, I chucked the rod in the cordless drill to do the hole. Kept in the drill to sand the rod tip round. Then cut off, glued the wire in it. Handy tool are the little clothes pins. Cut the handles from sheet plastic, in this case .03" (I think, can change according to the subject), glued to the center, then laid the handles on the clothes pin when I glued to the center. In my case, I painted with AK Interactive chrome (Used Alclad too, whatever works for you). The window crank knobs are black plastic, was an anti-sway bar, but could be stretched sprue. For my '69 Chevy pickup project, shaved off the handles, cleaned up, removed some from the back on the handles so they had some space from the door. Added a little round piece to the window crank.

Now I can say this is done! Hinges finished, ready for paint. Painted: Official finish of this build. ?

I could have been killed a few minutes ago. I have to U-turn at this intersection all the time, sometimes it takes awhile for the light to change. I'm waiting (yellow rectangle) and see a Chevy pickup coming towards me, who used the left turn lane to pass! It would not have taken much to misjudge the distance, and I would have been creamed. Morons (safe word to use on this forum) are getting more stupid lately, my town has a higher percentage of older drivers, mixing in hyped up daredevils is a bad mix. I have a lead foot, but it's when I was on the open road, not a congested highway, it would suck to die when I'm not even moving. Can anyone recommend a dash camera?

the Lost, except

10 lashes for you, sit in the corner, and build it!

This should be a photo-etch detail, I made most of the parts from aluminum, the steel is from a scavenged dead electronic device. Mini rare-earth magnets are the key. Pet peeve of mine, especially with this otherwise nice kit, no hinge detail at all. Putting the hood on the table is lame. I hope it looks real enough to work, but the plastic pins would break the first time. Explaining the magnets:

I thought sedans had four doors. ? Did Ford call this a coupe? Anyway, cool machine, that should inspire someone to build something different.

Back to the serious business, got the other hinge done, and finished construction on both. Makes a difference what plastic sprue is used! The black was brittle, the grey was less vulnerable to break, so I would test several before investing time and lighter gas. Both on the hood, before gluing the pivot points, and then after. Hood in opened position. Showing how I remove the hinges: So I'm actually glad to say I *had to* redo these hinges. The design before required more time to get the pins in and out, and the dovetail seating is a little looser. Paint is next, should be easy.

No picture, saw a Pinto wagon, the old lady could barely see over the steering wheel.

? And eye straining. I dredged it up, it's an old build. Just wanted to show what being stupid can do, losing a critical part that drove me nuts the first time. ? That a compliment? I actually enjoy doing it. The To WIP or not to WIP topic is a good discussion. ..................................⬆️ I overlooked making a kit box for this project, so this is my process. Helps to have a wood shop, using big power tools to make what is usually sawdust that is thrown away. ? I have lots of scrap wood pieces, but I still need to start with the table saw, to rip the depth of the box (biggest in this case). Then I use a jig to cut the length, can't really use the cross-cut saw. Use a wood chisel to get the rough width, which is with the grain of the wood so it splits easily. Bench disk sander, use a bigger scrap piece to have no gap for the block to get sucked down and ruined. Most dangerous part of the process, losing a fingertip would suck. ? This is when I get the width to size, and then the depth. I use the box image for measuring. Cut out the box top. I hold with tweezers to make the second cut at each corner. Glue only the top first, squish down with the square, or any hard flat object. Glue the long sides, hold down the block while doing this. These calipers were found at a swap meet decades ago. Glue the short side. I fold first using the square. Finished off the size by sanding the bottom. One reason I did this, wanted a proper license plate, found this on eBay, screenshot, reduced and squared by PhotoShop, glued to thin steel. I was thrilled this plate had 48, when I had a real '48 pickup, when I got the plate, they had a 48 in the pile.

Oh, still getting comments.... Thank you! Appreciate that! Much appreciated. I have added mud underneath, regular Model Master with tile grout mixed in.
