sorry i cannot give you the answer to your specific query, but while you're waiting, maybe watch this and get some ideas:

it is a component on the Sacred Path of Rites for which a modeler must attain, in order to win the coveted seventh level, $200 box of parts, for a model which in all likelihood will never be finished. and i do appreciate the links; always one more i have never seen.

'34 to '40 vintage application/ 3d or resin will work. 24th or 25th - not that hung up on thousandths. thanks sid

i started off to ask this 8 hours ago and then got sidelined. "search" is definitely a too-edged sword (sic). i saw this on a site to buy files which i won't, but didn't know if a source of ready mades are available. 🚙 Roof 101 engine for AMT 1929 Ford + Exhaust・ STL File for 3D printing・Cults thanks s.e.

that's how they getcha. i think most of the sale stuff is a loss-leader. but i did sign up for a subscription channel for 99 cents a month for 2 months. i can be a "sport" sometimes.

prior, maybe set it on its back and put a dropertwo of oil inside the socket and around the square drive. sounds like your ball bearing/ spring has frozed up.

i bought some trinkles from DJ about 10 years ago. i will use it someday. i think DJ was ahead of the curve with aftermarket parts of specific style. please let the inmates know if you make contact; thanks.

looking for some motor-head books to read without buying or unable to get through your inter-library loan system? try eBooks from a digital service to which your library offers free membership. my local one offers Hoopla & another which i forgot. but it's pretty much a common thing. get a card, find your card, read a free book from home!

it comes with 3 packages of rhinestones? whoa!

that seems like a sound investment! thanks

Q: is this safety wire? (serious question; i've never heard the term) thx sid

reminds me of a coffee break story by a contractor i worked for in the late '70s. (the years; he was only around 50) seems he was trying to inspire my young mind and create some enthusiasm for the job at hand. "i had a guy workin' for me once that was so strong, he bet me he could stand in a bushel basket and pick himself up. you know, i believe he coulda done it if the handles had held." i was less than inspired. i never knew too much, but could somehow always separate Sh!tte from Shinola. [this is the latter - Shinola - Wikipedia ]

the owner wanted a suicide front end?

not even if the Pime fits?

three years ago the gutters were replaced on the house (fir & very old) with fiberglass gutters. the joints needed glass & resin, but at installation a temporary adhesive was used to keep the installers ahead of the glassers. in reality, it was the same guys, but it was an "order of operation" thing. in any event, they used this product: FastCap CA Super Glue Pack - 2P-10 Medium Viscosity (2.25oz) & Activator (10oz) - Ultimate Bonding Solution for Wood, Metal, Glass & More - Industrial Grade Adhesive for Professional & DIY Projects: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific after the first winter, there were some obvious areas which needed attention. since the ink on the check had dried, the lifelong guarantee followed suit and the gutter guys were no where to be found. so the painter & myself tacked the trouble spots. had to tell that story so i could tell this one: the stuff, used in conjunction with the spray accelerator, really did work filling gaps in excess of 1/8". really wide openings, stuff three floors up & unseen from the ground, benefitted by two or three applications (building on itself), but it was a good product (just poor initial application). the surface needed to be cleaned with acetone. the hardened glue surface was coarse after sanding with #80 grit abrasive to shape & remove excess, but why wouldn't it be. things held together until we got around to resin & epoxy final coating (inside gutters & ideal weather conditions) that might be an option. adhesive is less expensive that hobby product/ activator requires monthly payment plan.

weather be damned!

among everything else, the color palette kept to a minimum adds to the presentation.

i made the mistake once of ordering boxes from the postal service. [ Free Shipping Supplies | USPS.com ] i ordered 3 boxes. what i did not realize it was 3 packages of 10 boxes. i ended up restocking the display at the local post office. the mail lady chuckled

anybody consider UV Resin for something like this? seems more people are using it for adhesive. is it any better, or just the new kid onna block? thx

i echo everyone's accolades. Q: on top of the blower [two squares] is that a pair of injectors? i remember something similar from the Revell Tony Nancy dragster kit (i think...) but didn't know what they were then, either. thanks

i remember when the first edition of Car Model magazine circa 1962 pocket book size*, was treading on that same line. or was it Model Railroader , or Popular Mechanics ? oh well, we all seem to survive despite ourselves. * Car Model (Home)

for something as small & shallow as the example you posted, i think the main caution is the thickness (thinness really) of the repair. Mark's advice to make the depression deeper and a bit irregular is a good call. not probably the answer you wanted, and your first inclination might be spot on since the depression is so thin and relatively small in area. it's a bit of a dance to have it thick enough the patching material won't crack or crumble, and thin enough you don't spend your summer vacation adding layers upon layers to build the patch up to the surrounding surface (or a little higher and then file/ sand down to blend). another good materials (2) for thin imperfections is #a. Mr Surfacer What is Mr Surfacer? - Modelling Tips - Britmodeller.com and Bob Smith Industries IC 2000 Premium Adhesive for Hobby, Hardware and Recreation both of these take a while to cure, but they are "hot" meaning they will soften the material to which they are applied. figure on overnight drying time. both will sand when fully cured.

are the holes/ depressions deep enough for a piece of styrene to be glued? i think the least amount of filler you use, the less chance of the fill telegraphing through your finished paint job. is the shape a hole? stretched tree sprue could work with perhaps no filler.

that's some Norman Rockwell posing, it is.
