  1. At a Walgreens today. SAAB Sonnet III GT, I believe
  2. To clarify, Texas 3D shipped them quickly after my purchase. USPS took over a week via 8 locations to get it to me.
  3. Finally got my parts earlier this week (USPS gave them a nice scenic trip through Texas and KS) beautiful work!
  4. as for the clear, unless it is specifically for sealing decals, you might want to test it. the colors may run/ blur depending on the solvents in the paint. I would stick to several very light mist coats until I get the desired coverage.
  5. Those are all awesome decals. I wish someone in the aftermarket would do up a sheet of them.
  6. It's been almost 20years since I was last in the UK. I totally forgot about some of their good programs.
  7. I have both laser and inkjet paper. I've tried lower and higher on every setting I could find. colors are always off. I just think it is something with the design of the printers. has there ever been a thread on decal friendly printers?
  8. So I like many types of music, but the current crop of pop music leaves un-impressed. I've found the following radio stations to stream while building. feel free to add to the list. WCLZ, Portland Maine. slogan is "different is good" modern music, but not big name pop artists you usually hear on the radio. Big Radio stations, Wisconsin and Illinois. Oldies, Country from '60's to 90's, and classic rock Groovy 105.7, Tulsa Oklahoma, '60s & '70s WKKFI Kansas City, various genres: blues, rockabilly, Soul, old country, Jazz, and even a program that is strictly music from '45s. KMUW, wichita. Sunday night soul and blues shows retrococktailhour.org "home of space age pop and incredibly strange music". Tiki, TV, spy Jazz, exotica and so much more. stream and episode or stream the new on-line radio station
  9. That's what I'm thinking of. But I need to get a full page together before I do it.
  10. I have been struggling too. I have a Brother Laser jet. black always looks gray, red leans to Magenta or brown, etc. I've tried plain. photo, and decal paper. adjuste darkness, density, photo setting, calibration and everything i can think of with no effect. I know Alps printers are the best for decals, but I don't have the luxury of a second printer.
  11. mail call here too. just received a Polar Lights Undertaker dragster. And two days ago received some sweet engines from Texas3D.
  12. what size hemi is this? It would have to be somewhere between 241 and 392, since the dragster was built for '63 if I recall correctly.
  13. someone doing 25 in a 40 and braking for no reason. That and people stopping for green lights.
  14. If that 300 had an option of an AODIt would perfect for my truck. As it is I will be ordering one soon.
  15. I would love one of those 300 sixes. when can we expect them? or not? I;ve been contemplating how to convert a carbed one from another mfg.
  16. Even if not 100% correct, I'd still like one.
  17. I would like to see a return of the Revell fox body Capri.
  18. KS traffic jam. An old John Deere followed by two minivans/ SUV. .
  19. where do i find the online version? I've subscribed to it, but can't find it.
  20. Where ever yall live, I envy you for stores with interesting and new kits. My Hobby Lobby, Michaels, JoAnn's etc. never have any new releases. And my LHS says he will order you anything you want, after three unsuccessful tries I gave up.
  21. Real vehicles lose their shine because of sunlight, weather, pollutions, dirt, etc. Your model won't be exposed to these conditions, will it? Polish contains fine abrasives. If you polish every month, you eventually will polish through the paint. If you clear coat it, then you risk getting some texture that you will then need to polish out. I'd suggest just a good wax if you feel you need to do something. Dust with a soft brush once in a while;
  22. I'm looking for: side pipes from an AMT Mako shark AMT VW Beetle custom '40 Ford hood Revell Custom Beetle Rolls Royce custom body parts (I have the grille) If you need something in trade, let me know what you are looking for.
  23. I remember it with a normal scoop/ hat and brighter yellow paint, but that sure looks like it otherwise. I have to check my other, 10-year-old computer.
  24. I wonder if the Daytona still has both the '87 and '88 turbo set ups. I have an '88 and an '87 version. The '88 still had the parts from the '87 version.
