  1. As a point of reference, what does that front tank hold, the one between the frame horns? I too am sorry to read of your mother's passing, it's hard. I lost mine 5 years ago but I remember her everyday.
  2. I remember one from another old magazine... (I don't think it was Boys Life, heh) The Wife is sick and tired of mowing the lawn with an old rickety push-type lawn mower and asks The Husband to buy her a new rider, which he refuses. The next day The Husband comes home to see The Wife on her hands and knees cutting the lawn with a pair of scissors. He looks at her for a bit, goes into the house and comes out with a toothbrush, throws it at her and says... "When you're done with the lawn, sweep the sidewalk"
  3. Keeping with the 'Pet' theme...
  4. Cool, looks like real vinyl, Nice Job! ? P.S. USAF '73-'77 AFSC 30454 Ground Radio Repair
  5. Nice vinyl work on that interior Zippi, what did you use for that?
  6. First and foremost I'd like to say, that I really have nothing to say.
  7. I would'a never guess that. I only saw it once a long time ago, it doesn't get played very often on cable. Good Stumping! ?
  8. Liverwurst is awesome on rye bread with swiss cheese and a slice of raw onion!
  9. Yea! ? She says it towards the end of the movie as detectives are trying to search her room, just before they take her Sugar Daddy (Lon, played by Louis Calhern) away.
  10. Well actually, The Asphalt Jungle is the correct response to my Marilyn Monroe movie quote, lol
  11. Are you talking to me?
  12. Fantastic Voyage?
  13. The only other movies I can think of with large and famous casts would be It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World or The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming.
  14. Seven Days in May?
  15. How 'bout this one, said by Marilyn Monroe: "You big banana head!"

  20. Alclad makes cloth backed polishing cloths that start at 3200 and go to 12000.... and a rubber block. ALC310
  21. Also, how have you been 'holding' you're model? I bought a circuit board holder which has been of infinite help with applying decals.
  22. I feel for ya, Mike For what it's worth, here's my procedure which has always werkt for me. Warm Water, yes. Trimming close is good but not necessary. Wait until the decal is just starting to float on the paper but don't let it come off the paper! Pull it out with plenty of water hanging on the paper/decal and set the edge as close as possible to the position you want it to start at. I use my finger to gently pull the decal off the paper and into the beginning of the position you want it. While gently pushing the edge of the decal down, slide the paper from under the decal making sure there's plenty of water. Then use a Q-tip (brand, the best IMHO) to move it to the position you want or even better use a toothpick *gently*, which won't wick away the water. While still leaving as much water as you can, keep positioning it to get it where you want. Then I use a folded-up piece of paper towel (2 to 4 layers) to press it into position which wicks the water off. If it's not right, and before it dries (actually you have a few minutes so don't rush) put more water on the decal to loosen it up and move it where you want, again with a toothpick or Q-tip (which will wick off the water again). Finally you can roll the Q-tip across the decal to push the excess water from under the decal. The important thing is not to rush! Hope that helps! ?
  23. Amen to that brother!
