Gas, grass or something elseā¦.nobody rides for free.š¤

There is a spare tire included, and the trunk lid was only partially attached, so I cut it open and am currently obsessed with trying to make some operating hood hinges for it. I donāt like the one-piece exposed hinges that can only be attached to the hood and trunk lid. Iāve tried a number of different methods, but they are so tiny that itās pretty difficult.š¬ I think I have it beat now, but I have to wait for more 0.016ā drill bits to arrive, cause Iāve snapped all of mine. I first tried using some ear ring parts from Michaels, then a couple of brass versions. This is where I lost of most of my bits.š Now I am working with some 0.04āx0.062ā aluminum bar. They will be a little larger than scale. But at least they will work. The little chrome thing between my brass ones is the kit piece.š³ They are delicate little things even on the 1:1.

I picked this one up at the flea market for $15. It is a super tiny little vehicleā¦here it is next to a Mazda MX-5. They are both 1/24 scale.š³ It was barely started thankfully so I was able to disassemble it fairly easily. I wasnāt intending to do a build thread so I donāt have a lot of progress picsā¦not that thereās much to seeā¦.so fast forward, the 2cylinder flat, aircooled engine is done and the chassis is completed. The bumperettes have some wicked sink marks, so I stripped the chrome and puttied them up. Thanks for lookinā. All comments welcome.

CA will also react with cotton (Q-Tips) and maybe wool. It will heat up and produce fumes that can adhere to fingerprints on your fresh paint job. Law enforcement sometimes uses this method for highlighting fingerprints.

Bob Smith Industries (BSI) also makes a Super-Gold version of CA that wonāt fog clear parts. It is also available in a medium and thin viscosity.

Iāll have to look in the garage Dennis. Right now I am cutting the small leftover piece up to make some hinges. I can easily get some more if I donāt have any. BTW, Lee Valley stocks the orange thin slot one, but they arenāt cheap.š„“

About the AMT 64 Marauder
NOBLNG replied to diggerguy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Check out this build in the Nascar section. I think the air cleaner is not used with the supercharger option. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/198510-64-mercury-marauder-amt/ -
Round about now Iām going to have to go out and fire up the snowblower.

Laundry list of things I gotta do seems to get longer and longer.š

The one on the right I got from Amazon. The chuck is huge on it and makes it difficult to see what youāre doing with really tiny drill bits. Iād get the one from MicroMark or similar.

Largest kit box ever?
NOBLNG replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nice alternative to having the box so small that everything has to be arranged in perfect order to get it all back in without crushing something.
