  1. nothing a 10 lb. sledge hammer, some baling wire and some duct tape won't fix. okay, you might need some bubble gum too.
  2. tech gadgets. my cell provider has said no issues, but I'm not getting texts in a timely manner. Case inpoint: My youngest daughter and son both texted me on Sept 2 that my oldest daughter had passed away. The text came through somtime between Friday and yesterday. There have been enough family issues in the past and this did not help any!
  3. AHA! those pictures show what a buddy seat is. I was totally unfamiliar with that term.
  4. But you can't go on green anyway, someone might run their red light! I own a ex county 93 F-150 and a 93 Festiva. both easy to work on. When needed (far less frequently than anything newer I've owned) parts for the truck are easy to find, the Festiva requires knowledge of Mazdas of the same vintage.
  5. maybe gravel for fish tanks or birds. Cat litter (old school non-clumpingtypes)
  6. And just wait for the casualties to start mounting up from hacked car electronics. Won't even go into the hidden cameras and tracking your movements and habits.
  7. Steering wheel gets my vote. What about the door cards? Left over from a Euro/ Asian market/ custom steering wheel variant?
  8. The universe. it was against me whatever I was trying to do all day.
  9. I don't use a figure, but I do try to make it look feasible.
  10. If you use the wire trick, the wire can be inserted into a block ok floral foam/ scrap Styrofoam for a holder.
  11. I know this is an old thread, but I believe Richard Petty once ran a stock car with a roof painted with paint on the roof that was textured like a vinyl top.
  12. My garden harvest: lemon basil, hyssop (from the mint family), tomatoes, hot peppers (including 3 Carolina Reapers and 3 habaneros, with more on the way), sweet peppers, green beans, sweet potatoes and the last few stocks of rhubarb.
  13. Look in the hardware section for picture- hangers. usually near the other non wall damaging options. Big box stores, hardware stores, etc. usually carry it. The nice thing about it is you can re-use multiple times. I keep mine sealed in a sealable plastic bag or container.
  14. I did forget about blue tac/ poster tac. that works good for light weight figures and parts.
  15. If they are small figures, drill a hole in the bottom of the figure/ someplace that won't be seen and temporarily glue a length of wire in the hole to use as a handle. There are also alligator clips on the end of sticks/ skewers. Then you can poke them into a cardboard box or foam to let them dry. There are also third hands or circuit board holders
  16. 3D printers don't necessarily have knowledge about their subjects. Just try asking the designer what engine the hot rod headers, intake manifold, etc. are for.
  17. I have used all of these suggestions successfully. But, I scan the decal sheet before applying anything just in case there is a reaction. Just an ounce of prevention.
  18. Dish washers dull knife blades. Dull knife blades are dangerous.
  19. Yes, the AMT Fiero has an I4 and a V6. And a wide body kit with scoop and wing for the engine cover.
  20. My local library uses plant- based materials to avoid the fumes and toxicity, but it means prints aren't as detailed (so they tell me)
  21. I remember those Pulsars. I think they had three interchangeable rear roof options.
  22. Has anyone checked the fit of the old Monogram 5 window coupe against the new tool Revell? I'm contemplating how to un-chop one of the Revell kits. There are the different roof treatments from an original kit, so the options could end up interesting.
  23. I know some people have looked for pinstriping options. Try model RR pinstripes. HO scale striping is 1/64th inch and comes in many colors. Other scales are wider. and some combinations are available such as the red-white blue of AMTRAK. And there are some small flame decals for HO scale big rigs too.
  24. I've got 9 pints of pickled sweet peppers. My basement carpeting is almost dry. temps low to mid -70s starting Sunday and as far out as the forecast goes. And the Cayenne peppers are in the oven drying.
