  1. Gotta agree....never seen those turtles.....but the American Roach lives in those pipes......
  2. I used to build my own flopper chassis and wind my own motors, lots of stick um on the tires and my trusty MRC controller with brakes...Ahhhhh the good ole days.....
  3. You didn't watch the same game as I did....Yep the Giants won.....and they played great ball. That said....the Packers dropped more and gave more away yesterday than the whole season. You wanna talk bias...GB never got respect till Farve and Reggie got it back, that said as an owner of the ONLY team not owned by millionaires....I still back the Pack And the Niners should Whup up on the g men........
  4. Had them for years on dialup. never any problems. With DSL if you are too far away from where its sent from....your problems are the norm. call ATT and find out how far away from them you are....you can't boost DSL signals.....
  5. It was my Avatar.....
  6. And two weeks off....As an owner.......changes in the "D" are coming. OH well still 13 time champs.....
  7. well this post is from the new machine.....Yippie!!
  8. Even Windows 7 installed smoothly. Got the whole build done, and videos will get a quick edit and I will post from the new machine. Not close to a model, as no cutting was done on this one, I will take a system image and then the tweaks will begin.
  9. As an NFL owner....the Packers will get # 14 this year. Aaron Rodgers took care of both the Steelers and the Bears.......
  10. I have traded and been given parts by others here, and I have also given others parts....Know who you deal with...most here are topnotch!
  11. Ok I will build! But I'm gonna do a ZOOM ZOOM... A 24 hour build ! Not a model...but a new computer....If the luck holds and the SATA gods are with me I will be up and tweaking by tonight.... I does have a pretty plastic case front..with blinking leds.... Read the current SA....Bob shows his "tricks" and he has done a 24 hour Lemans build for years with the A.C.M.E. crew!!
  12. Unless the underpaid Cretins destroy the lastof the lot by poor packing....or put in a wrong SKU...Double freight. My sister has a large retail Dollhouse business...and she has to sell at internet markup...no profit margin.but still overhead vs working from your basement..I owned a retail service store...When the customers can see and feel the goodies...a lot of impulse sales occur...As a Floridian..I am shocked at the lack of good retail stores..for our needs...they are all train or RC stores. On a positive note It looks like we are getting a new store here in town. I saw the Hobbico banner...I'm hoping.....
  13. I will agree with Rob...great detail, fair price.
  14. Harry hit it dead on. I can buy 3D cad files from a stock house...so what is the difference...??? In 1980 I had a blazing Tandy sx1000 computer...upgraded to a 2 mg hard card, even had a "stick" Vanna White in the game area. Now the same game draws Vanna in 3D and she's got curves, and everything looks real. It's just getting things faster and smaller, and soon we will be able to buy the files and not kits
  15. great stuff.....think of getting a free photobucket for posting your pictures...
  16. Bump for this week.....
  17. http://www.edsel.com/pages/pavail.htm
  18. So why the propeller..??.....don't recall ever seeing one on a cobra......
  19. They are #2 right behind tiger...I like tiger due to the retail store 45 min away....great for info and returns...quick
  20. Its scary Doc...I know silver photography in and out. I've been enjoying digital imaging for the last ten years now, But just discovered DNG /RAW format for shooting, as the "norm" JPEG images are compressed and altered ...not at all what you see...Thanks to PS and lots of storage and memory....I can manipulate images just like back in the Dektol and Pan X days.....Color....Even more saturated than old K2 or Fujis offerings. Yessir this old dog is embracing the new age...but my eyes do get tired from all the reading. Will I still shoot silver ? In my Hassy and 4X5 view....but I am getting spoiled with digital...took years to learn how to preserve my chromes and negs....now its a backup every week!
  21. I am building another desktop from Tiger Direct....can't beat the prices and service......also have many retail outlets
  22. An old solvent trick.....clean the lid and top throughly and invert the whole thing. I do this with my Floquil paints and they are perfect after years. With hardener, shoot a bit of nitrogen or your inert gas before sealing and tipping.....Try it you might be surprised. I did this to some Floquil paints I bought in the late 80's.....just "found" them this year...no thinner was needed!! YES CAT AND HARDENER ARE DIFFERENT THAN FLOQUIL.....
