  1. Make sure you get a drill bit to match.
  2. That’s where I got mine too.
  3. It looks great Bob!?
  4. Thanks, here’s a link to it, but it doesn’t actually have any tips on removing the existing studs. https://www.protechmodelparts.com/detailingwheels.htm
  5. Absolutely beautiful!?
  6. Maybe practice on some junk wheels to see what works best before trying it on the ones you want to use.
  7. Steven will be missed.
  8. Please DO IT! I would definitely like to see that built!?
  9. Fun should definitely take up a fair portion of your time.
  10. “Shrug it off” is what my mom always told me when someone else’s opinion got me irritated.
  11. Nice that they resolved their issues. I thought his name was Richard?
  12. Same here…although my lathe is broken and I don’t have a milling machine.? I am certain that I don’t have the computer skills to operate a printer, never mind designing print files.? I will stick to scratch building bits and pieces, or purchasing printed parts from someone who knows what they’re doing.
  13. Nice tribute there Tom!?
  14. Great looking Roadrunner!?
  15. Nice clean little Hotrod!?
  16. Looks good Matt.? I am currently working on the boat tail version.?
  17. Chain up truckers before you head up that icy, snow covered mountain highway.
  18. Do please finish your model gentlemen before moving on to the next one.?
  19. It was definitely a bad can. I had no receipt, but luckily I paid for it with a credit card and Canadian Tire exchanged it after checking my history. This one sprays nicely!?
  20. Depends what part and where it is. Best to install pins before paint so any marks can be repaired if necessary. I will usually install the pin in the mirror or door handle first then just eyeball where the corresponding hole needs to be in the body. For more accurate placements or multiple pins, I have used short sharpened pins in the part (not glued in) to mark where the corresponding holes need to be. For something like a bumper, I might drill the hole in the body rom the outside, tape the bumper in place and then from the inside, drill out into the bumper…carefully so as not to go right through.? I added some rubber tips to a set of tweezers to hold small parts. A pin vise is better for controlled drilling of shallow holes than a spring loaded push drill.
  21. Screws can be used by surgeons to help repair broken bones.
  22. Great ingenuity you are displaying with this build…and fine scratch building skills as well.??
  23. Legs on a spider number eight.
  24. Calendar shows six more days till NNL North in Minneapolis.
  25. Very nice clean looking Monte!?
