He only displays the "Buy it now" price. How much for the "I am high on coke; how much $$$ can I send you?" price?

On a side note, found this pic somewhere... from LeMans, but... what is it?

I have two models; neither yet finished, that have cut open panels. The gap is dealt with by gluing scrap styrene to one side (vertical) edge, and one horizontal edge of the panel that was cut out. I forget if I used Plas-Struc(sp?) or Evergreen. A 1/16" square strip works. If the plastic needs to be "bent", soften it by coating it with liquid styrene cement... the solvents will do its job in just a few minutes. Once the glue dries, add a skim coat of filler (if needed), then sand down the new plastic to fit. I'm no expert, so I hope I make sense with the description. As for the hinges, too late for one model, but the other one... I want to try this "Gen. II" design.

Nice build, Bob! The time restriction makes it even better. In one weekend, I could maybe... get the tires decaled.

Thanks for sharing the photos! She is one beaut!

Oh Sweet Jeezus that is fine! Stunning! Stunning Ferrari!

Nice work, Zoli! Frank, afaik the new 1:1 Interceptor is not yet available, tho I would think it must be soon. As for the Motormax this is made from, I haven't had any luck yet. Why must Wal-Box be so "hit-or-miss"? I mean, someone out there must sell these... and in stock?

It requires no key. You just flash one of your gold chains to start it.

Our marriage is a lot like Halloween with Charlie Brown... "All I got was a rock."

Now there's a comment good enough to gift wrap.

I always dump a small amount of baking powder on it. Being a solid, it instantly cures.

Thank you for the link to the story, Harry. Such aa beautiful and historical aircraft, now in ruins. At least no one was seriously hurt. NBC News reports that there is about only a dozen or so left.

I just saw this on CNN. I do not even yet know for sure where it went down... I was on the phone when the story played. So few left.

You got a good one, Wayne!

Buy the '62 Thunderbird, and the 50 Texaco truck. I assume you work for your money, you deserve to buy what you want, as long as you're not placing the family finances in jeopardy.

Thank you for forwarding me the sets of clear vac-u-formed headlight covers for the Revell C3 Corvette roadracing Corvettes. I don't recall who made these, but I would forward this to them as well. I don't even recall how these came about, except that it had nothing to do with the trade forum. Revell could have easily included these with the kits, opting instead to go with a simulated duct tape cover on the decal sheet... as I recall. These clear covers are just the ticket! Again, thank you!

Loving wife? Yeah... OK. I have to smuggle any purchases in the house. I learned the hard way never to bring her into a hobby store. I prefer to keep her nagging verbal assaults out of the public eye. I actually start to imagine that there is a ball & chain around my ankle. When I show her a finished model, I get a... not sure, it's a cross between a "hrumph", and "that's nice". Mumble, mumble. Ya know? Some ppl go to zombie movies. I live with one. Oh it's so much fun. I try to get revenge whenever I can. She will "watch" TV, but she is really reading her book... and I love to start talking to her about what "we" just saw, knowing full well she missed it all!

Or... When you open up a 'reply' window, there should be a choice of "tools" above the box. Do you see the "smile" emoticon? Well, two spots to the right, you should see a box. Click it. That... is where you can post the url for the pic. In FOTKI, open the pic you want. See the tool selection above? Click on "share". Then paste it like I mentioned above.

Even if a few kits had bogus info on the instruction sheet, it would still be a huge minority. Most kit instructions are quite useable, or can be understood well enough so any competent builder could solve any problem. I mean, one of the gifts from model building is problem solving, right? And then there is the childhood to adult transition. What worked as a kid, doesn’t mean it will, or even should work as an adult. Chucking the instructions aside; picking parts off runners at random, rushing to get a model finished before supper, and basically building without a plan are all errors that should be avoided. Any build that is rushed will usually show it.

Sounds like the kit tooling is shared with several versions. I have the Sox & Martin car, but I believe it was also released as a factory stock.

Chuck- I have seen that video... and it is amazing that someone could hit a car, pushing it down the road without even being aware!

Again, a Q... on the open cockpit prototypes, why is there a small blue light in the front of the seat / headrest area of the empty seat? And to expand on that, there is a series of colored lights on these cars. Anyone know the purpose?

Not a good day for AUDI... at least so far.

Be healthy. Eat right. Don't smoke. Don't drink. Don't eat meats. See your doctor. Get lots of tests. Exercize. Stay fit. Get hit by a bus. Die anyway. Notice that everyone in the afterlife is laughing at you for not living life to its fullest.
