The 2000GT is a completely different car from the S800, although the front end has some similarities. S800: 2000GT:

'Createx' acrylic paint, how to
NOBLNG replied to fiatboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I agree. Unless you have a fair bit of experience airbrushing, Mr.Color or Tamiya lacquers or acrylics are much easier to use. Or even Vallejo Air. JMO. -

Oops, can’t read the box in the photo.? It is a Fujimi Toyota Sports 800. I didn’t know of the cars existence till today. And it looks to be complete and unstarted except for a couple parts taken off the trees.? Cool little video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQiybrmwHyA Here it is next to a Mazda MX-5. They are both 1/24 scale.

Waitresses who put on a quart of perfume before going to work. We went out for supper with a couple of friends last night and the wife (who has allergies) had to plug her nose every time one waitress walked by. This also applies to anyone anywhere who thinks they need to bathe in the stuff. Do they really stink that bad??

Tips for attaching aftermarket wheels
NOBLNG replied to atomicholiday's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yes, I get them at Staples. They are available in many different grades too. Very soft pencils for drawing (12B–3B) Pencils in classic hardness grades for writing and sketching (2B, B, HB, H, 2H) Very hard pencils for technical drawing and cartography (3H - 10H) Much better than a standard HB (soft) pencil. A good quality sharpener is also a worthwhile investment. https://www.staedtler.com/ca/en/products/pencils-and-accessories/graphite-pencils/ -
Tips for attaching aftermarket wheels

Tips for attaching aftermarket wheels
NOBLNG replied to atomicholiday's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Here’s a couple of ways to find the center of a wheel. 1) A center finder attachment for a combination square. 2) Find something close to half the diameter and mark the wheel four times to get double crosshairs straddling the exact center. Both can be done with or without the tire mounted. -
Spheres, when you need one, are never around.
