References for model car building technical data is so much easier to find now that we have the internet.

If you touch a sharp bend with any solvent cement, it will instantly crack unless you heat it to take the stress out.

Forgotten most of the eighties I have.?

Anyway you slice it, women have a certain allure.

That looks like a good unit, but pricey! Here is a good little video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u-b26GzDA8

You’ll never draw a 6mm circle with that!?

I am definitely no expert on decals, but I try to get the decal to slide on the backing a bit while under the water. Then I remove it. I also trim 3 sides as close as possible to the decal. The last side I leave a tab of backing paper attached and just lightly score the outline of the decal with a hobby knife. That way I have something to grab with the tweezers to slide the paper out.

Or stick some soft wire inside the tubing.

Sweet! I love that paint job!?

Very cool looking old wagon!?

Very nicely done!?

That is absolutely beautiful!?

Thanks Jay! Thanks Tom. That is only my second or third attempt with the “foil under paint” technique. I’m real happy with how it turned out.? Thanks Mike. That is just a three sided box and some craft paper from Micheals. I made a fixture to hold it flat and used a file until the backside was tissue paper thin. Then I trimmed them out with the point of a hobby knife.

Week one of the rest of my life is nearly half over.?

My only build of the summer. It’s a nice little kit!? I opened the grill and added some home made disc brakes and some wheels and tires from the parts box. Other than that it is OOB.

Office supply store? These loose leaf reinforcements measure 1/4” (6mm) id. and are self adhesive….or do you want the circle and not the hole?

Society of automotive engineers is a group which has become heavily involved with the development and introduction of self-driving vehicles, after proposing its "Levels of Driving Automation” in which SAE J3016 defines six levels of automation for vehicles, which range from Level 0, which means no driving automation, to Level 5, which designates full vehicle automation.

Correctness is something that the very best of the modellers on this forum strive to achieve.

Can you imagine trying to hook a 10 year old up to this?

Tonight I hope to almost finish the model on which I’ve been labouring.
