Cool! That looks like something I might have done back in the early 70’s.😎 I wish I had kept the models I built as a youth.

First thing I do when starting a new model is google images of a real one in a few different colors. That helps to determine what are body seams that stay and mold lines that need to be removed.

It all started when you called Peter a low energy plastic.🤣🤣🤣🙄

The ones I have are #5 plastic and Tamiya thin cement has zero effect on it.

Much more haunting to my ears.

We are paying around $1.33cdn/litre here. If my calculations are correct that is about $3.68usd/us gal.

Saw these at a car show yesterday.

Same Michaels store yesterday. And they do have a small assortment of Testors paints in the little square bottles.

The smallest tip is 1/64” which is 0.015625”. Multiply that by 25 to get a 1:1 width of 0.39” or just over 3/8”. I can’t imagine myself being steady enough to get a straight line without a guide of some sort.

“Workbench” can mean anything from a desk, to a table, to an old door on a couple of sawhorses.

Apparently it can be had with a pressure cup also.

Rough calculation $9,000.00 divided by $3.18 equals 2,830 gallons.😳

Car models get far more attention on this forum than trucks.😕

Question: Are the BSI gold foam-safe glues as strong as the regular glues? If they are it would make more sense to use the gold exclusively because it won’t fog clear parts either.

All the issues with the 10 speed means I will NEVER trade in my ‘17 F250 6spd for a new model. I will repair it endlessly if necessary. Why in the world would you want 10 gears anyway….? Smoothness? I don’t recall ever getting whiplash from my old 3 spd autos. I know fuel economy numbers are the driving force behind the shift but with the cost of repairs it sure doesn’t make economic sense.

I vacuumed and dusted the entire basement (almost) and duster all my completed models. I set a cheap filter on top of a box fan and used a makeup brush to dust them. It worked pretty good I think.🙂

And here is the Cougar 1.😎 https://www.autoevolution.com/news/cougar-406-concept-the-story-of-ford-s-forgotten-gullwing-concept-car-223532.html I think the Cougar ll would have sold…not sure about the One? It looks too much like something George Jetson might own.😬

Thanks, I could see that trick coming in handy.😎

From what I recall, the blue tastes better.😬

It was a Ford actually: https://www.hemmings.com/stories/lost-concept-cars-the-shelby-cobra-based-ford-cougar-ii/

They will make a nice pair when finished.👍

Your Rambler is coming along very nicely Joe!😎

“Doh” is best accompanied by a self inflicted sharp smack to the forehead.

…..from the purchaser on behalf of the government. (Just adding clarity)

Nice clean looking build!👍😎
