Which vendors offer scale auto carpet?
Beans replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have used the felt adhesive backed sheets you can get in the paper section of most craft stores. It ends up being pretty thick. I too have gone to mostly embossing powder. It is thinner, easier to mask off areas and easy to remove if it goes a little astray. -
62nd All Japan Model & Hobby Show (2025)

I'd build one...Just sayin, But I would put Pinto badges on it. -
Back in the late 80s (when I was in high school) Friday nights meant hanging out at the local McDonalds until somebody would stop by and announce that so and so was having a party. Then everyone would pile in our cars and go. What "so and so" actually had planned was a small get together. What happened was a lot more people would show up. Party would get out of hand. House would get trashed and cops would come. What the internet has done has created the biggest McDonalds parking lot ever. The "so and so" call goes out to the whole country and world. What happens? A LOT more people show up than planned. The party gets out of control, town gets trashed and cops come. Behaviors haven't really changed with time. The level of involvement has. I'd love to blame social media and reality TV for all of it (because I do despise them both) but in the end, we did the same stuff. Just on a way smaller scale.

Great book too. Also the follow on book and movie, Force 10 from Navarone.

The couple times I have done anything like that I just used white primer underneath and sanded the paint until it showed through in places. Also dry brushed some light grey in areas.

You'd think. This one hasn't been there very long. She's young and gets rambunctious. Once she gets over the fence (low electric job that evidently isn't on) she just hangs out.

Oh man... That sucks. Sorry that happened. I think we've all been there in one way or another. -
Mold factory mistake. Ugh!!!
Beans replied to Sledsel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I had such a warped body that I didn't really notice the fender issue. I ended up getting drastic with the whole thing. Problem solved..... -
I think you are right. The grill to me looks a little bulky and that kind of throws off the front. Picture of the actual van for comparison:

#1 because of the amount of work that went into each detail. Things that someone who didn't know better, would have thought came that way out of the box.

Where is my Tamiya order from Japan?
Beans replied to Mike 1017's topic in Links to Aftermarket Suppliers
One day to get from Spain to Germany to Kentucky. Several weeks sitting in Kentucky. Our ability to create bureaucracy knows no limits. -
Looks to be some other kind of racing or custom pedals.
