I'm not surprised that they caught on. All those samples going out to residential addresses, and not a single order. At those prices, not too likely to get any from us either!

Maybe you should get rid of something... my name is Jon, not Joe!

I am 54, but I have had one of these for 20+ years... couldn't work without it.

Quote in part: Especially since eBay and PayPal are owned by the same ppl!

About scanning... if any of the graphics are in white, how will scanning help? How can we "capture" white graphics? Also, can clearcoating a decal after trimming make application difficult, if any of the clear... goes over the edge of the paper? This may be more applicable a situation if the clear being used is brush applied, such as Future, etc.

Wasn't that a Blueprinter Special at one time?

Is this real, or wishful thinking? Has this DTR put their logo on anything out there currently?

I got it wrong too! It's a '41...

Looks good, Derek! Keep at it!

1937 Chevy Pickup: Perhaps you meant to say 1947? No matter, it looks great!

Your opinions on the Spotlight board are on the money. If he put half the effort into improving his board that he instead wastes goose-stepping his paranoia back and forth, it would be a miracle. The place resembles a disjointed police state where heaven (no pun intended) forbid a part may be traded, or a hobby store mentioned and all sorts of drama is stirred up. If it should implode, I hope I get to watch, bag of popcorn in hand.

I found out about it while on Facebook. Glad it's fixed!

Happy birthday, Mark! Don't worry about getting older... 'cause you CAN take it all with you!

REAL nice build! Ditto on what's up with the omission of basic parts on relatively new tooling, such as rear view mirrors, and wipers?

This thread is Bender's favorite

Well I doubt he would want it Taxi Yellow...

Not 100% sure, but I think he may be referring to this kit...

I have some of the old clear cases from JoHan around here somewhere. They have two holes for each tire location... run the wire through each hole and twist. I used a typical small gauge "hobby & flower" wire.

Some visual aid...

I have exhausted any possible sources for thin hollow tube... thin enough for antenna. Thinner than K&N stocks. Anyone know of an on-line source? This project is in limbo until I locate tubing.

I won't use Krylon any longer. It seems to be too chemically hot for plastic. My fav primer is PlastiKote. Tamiya is very good, only reason I won't use it is cost per volume, I buy primer in full size cans.

HOLY THREE LEAF CLOVER! Now that is green to the Nth degree! Nice too!

Lower buckets and console molded to the floor? Sad. Ditto on the bucket style interior, as the new normal is separate sides. Not exactly the type of car to tweak with dark tint windows to hide these shortcuts. Still, better than nothing.

Since this pic was taken, it has had a guide coat, sanded, primed, and resanded. Plans have changed, stock '57 is out, a custom '58 is in. I still have resin '57 parts from the Modelhaus, so I think I would like a resin copy of this body, now that I have tweaked it for straightness and sans trim. Who should I contact? How long would I be waiting?
