District 9 was a movie that I enjoyed and I am still awaiting the sequel.

I’m sure you’ll find a solution David. And I’m glad it’s not as ominous as the title sounded.?

I like your plan Steve. I agree, these are very classy looking cars and I have full confidence that what you do with it will not detract from that. Big power sounds good to me.? Take your time, I’ll pull up my comfy chair to watch this one.?

We’ve gone metric here in Canada, but not completely.? The government has gone 100% metric. Industry and peoples minds…not so much. The metric system is a much better system really because weights and measures are all based on 10. There are 10 millimetres in a centimetre, 1000 metres in a kilometer.? The imperial system is all over the map. Why does water freeze at -32F instead of zero? The inch is divided by twos until you get to 64ths…..but if you want to be accurate, you use thousandths.? It’s too bad the US didn’t switch over with us. I’m sure it would have been a more complete transition here.

Detail Master makes some nice stuff.

Beautifully done!?

Nice work.? I like that Javelin!

Thank You Everyone! I keep learning new stuff on this forum and I appreciate everyone’s contributions!?

Come on…who hasn’t put a cheap pair of shocks on their vehicle?? I made these in about a half hour. I used .080” rod for the inner and a piece of 1/8”o.d. tube for the outer. And .032” brass rod and .050” styrene for mounts. I didn’t get fancy with the mounting points, but it would be easy to upgrade them.?

I just put a 4 for .040”, 2 for .020” and 15 for .015”. I just mark it with pencil now too so I can erase it if needed.

Nice and simple….I like it.?

Nice work Steve! I love that diorama, and that Camaro makes me drool.??

Darn fine work, never mind for a 16 year old!?

I’d be lucky to get one done at that level of perfection…assuming I was even capable of it.? Beautiful work Dennis!?

PECS, stands for Picture Exchange Communication System, which uses pictures to help autistic children communicate.

Yes. The carbide ones are very sharp and brittle. This Meng set is the last set of bits purchased and I’ve broken half of them already.? The best bits I have are the Vallejo ones in the orange case, made in the Czech Republic (I think) and the Godhand ones are very good quality (made in Japan).

I was curious myself and it seems that water can be used in very tiny amounts with the Tamiya epoxy as well. Here’s a really long video on a very short topic.? He finally starts mixing the epoxy at 8:38 into the video with his bare fingers which I wouldn’t do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENn8h6LCHWg

Nice work. I like the Jags, and the ‘29.?

Nice! I like the two Chevelles.?

Wow Craig, those are all gorgeous looking! And I thought I was doing good with seven completed.

Wow, Legos ain’t what they used to be! Nice job on it.? I too would like to wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery Pete.

I got more done than I thought.? Thanks to all for the support and encouragement on these builds and also the ones I haven’t completed.

Very nice installation. Bug and rodent proof too.?

Fantastic job on this! The scratch built items and the fit and finish are perfect!?

That looks really great Steve.? This is a nice kit, but I wish AMT could have given us some side mirrors….and a few other missing parts.? I’m about to start looking for something I could use on mine.
