  1. Thanks guys. I think I’ll try the magic sculpt.
  2. I have this Johan 1962 Dart that has these 2 indentations on each front fender. I not that experienced in anything out that gluing kits together. Some painting disaster but neve body work. I’m stumped as to what to do. I bought some Tamiya putty thinking I have to fill them in. Most of what was in there was removed. The thing is I think if I fill it in with putty to make the indentations away. I’ll loose most of the script just below it. What would you do or suggest. Thanks guys.
  3. Wow Andy. That is beautiful.
  4. I always check Hobby Lobby on line. One of the girls that work in the model section told me, a lot of the time, they are at their site before they hit the stores.
  5. Nice build.
  6. They both look beautiful.

    Nice build. Love the exhaust headers.
  8. Looks nice. The hood is a problem. One being how it was connected to the sprue. And the plastic just felt soft. Not like the white plastic kits.
  9. Well the Cutlass has been primed for over a week and I figure it's time to try the paint again. If it's lacquer paint. I should just keep giving it light coats but one right after the other? Wait maybe4 minuted between coats?
  10. I checked out our local Hobby Lobby this past Tuesday. Nothing new. Bought some body putty. I'll bet they will discount the kits in January because they will want to reduce inventory for tax purposes.
  11. Nice paint. Very sharp looking.
  12. I use Sea Foam in all my gas engines. And the battery was on a tender but the battery was from 2005. It was due to be replaced. Just wished it didn't give everyone the "Good Battery" code and showing 12.6 when testing voltage. Ethanol free gas. Not where I live. LOL. I'll start it like Crazyjim said he does with his engines. I always run the zero turn and tractor every month during the winter.
  13. Our Rite Aids where taken over by Walgreens. They liquidate the stores and bring their own stuff in. That’s how I got the Ford taxicab for $2.50.
  14. Looks really mean with those wheel.
  15. OMG. That is really sharp.

    Paint looks spot on to me. Nice chrome work David. I've got to recreate my 1964 Comet Caliente I had as a kid. Black 2dr HT with red interior.
  17. I have a portable compressor I plug into it while it's running. Just to make sure it's working. :-)
  18. Nice build. Great paint job.
  19. Looks great. I have a few trumpeter kits. What kind of glue do you recommend?
  20. What a great show. Ours are never as big as this. Some beautiful builds and dioramas.
  21. Yesterday I spent the day getting the generator running. It was dead. No click. Put the charger on it and it was it was fully charged. Took the battery to O'Reilly's and they said it tested full charged. Came back home. Put the battery back in. Nothing. Stumped. Neighbor who is a mechanic. came over. Tried a few things. Checked the battery with his charger. Full charge. He left. I decided to jump start it. It turned right over. Bad Battery. It turned over but wouldn't start. Took the carb apart. Cleaned it out. Put it back together. Runs like a top. Lesson learned. Run it at least once a month. Now, because of the 60 mph winds. Out to clean up the branched from the willow out front. That will take hours. Another lesson learned. Never plant a willow tree. One of the messiest trees around. And shut the ceiling AC vents. I think we're past any warm spell now. :-)
