impressive stable o' minnies (sic) adore the wheels on #2. Q: is that a full open sun roof (same car)? looks like they've all gotten the TLC treatment. thanks for posting, especially in such proximity for comparison. sid

i would get lost in the details of the construction threads on SMC. always a go-to for inspiration & reading.

when i was a boy . . .

not sure what all that is depicting, but if the cursor hovers over the avatar, the ignore button appears on the lower right; click = done. does not appear on moderators'; not sure if there are other exceptions.

i think he was obsessed with these engines. image from HAMB History - Early drag racing photos | Page 138 | The H.A.M.B.

Q: isn't there a thread which names bongo drums and tape recorders and stuffed animals? maybe in that thread there's mention of tools.

my understanding is that's its an invitation to brainstorm and anything can be put out for consideration.

just keep in mind it's all patience. can be a lifelong interest, too.

there are also model & photo etch companies which make hand tools. some are 1:35 scale and acceptable for top tray or drawer tools. the 1:24 kits will be a more dependable fit. i guess which and how much creativity you are willing to contribute. tools* 1:24 - Scale Modeling Search workshop tools and machines tools** 1:35 - Scale Modeling Search

there's already a hole forum for that. half a dozen consistent posters and they're looking to boost enrollment.

Pop's 1960 Falcon had that

if we get an "up" well, then, there should be a "down" life ain't all a bowl o' cherries.

i think a great part of life is " pure drawn out dross." don't get me started of bicyclist YT-ers!

is that what i am hearing when the lips don't jive with the words? i assumed in circumstances it was because the producer's first language was not Engrish. (sic)

color certainly fits the era

it's not too hard to figure out what's going on in a video after a minute or two. and then those producers don't get watched again unless for a very specific reason. knowledge is cumulative: learn to pick out what you need, and forego the rest. don't steal from another man's rice bowl. from a borderline producer this morning, i watched about half of a video themed at chopping a top on a '34 Ford pickup. it was painful to watch the shop helper struggle removing some machine screws, but i was richly rewarded by the views of the truck's cab, both inside & out, with the layout of bolts/ braces which i have not seen with such clarity. it's a journey.

interesting technology. everything in this kit can now be done with a smart phone.* *except the "fun" part

the new bride was probably not selected for her appreciation of scale plastic assembly kits.

whatever it takes to keep interest

but i want it NOW!!!

maybe everybody but me knows about this; but i just stumbled into it. there was some discussion in the "changes thread" so perhaps this might be helpful in the meantime: Short Track and NASCAR modeling - Index i think enrollment is inactive, but it could provide some reading.

since i don't want to compromise the body, i think my first step will be two layers [applied individually] of aluminum foil over the whole thing. i believe if the cover gets to be oversize, trimming once dry will be an easy task. then [after foil] i'm such a fogey, and no compound curves in sight, i'll use waxed paper to isolate the foil from the resin. yes; i've decided to use it - cautiously - and the fabric layer is still being decided. more as the saga unfolds . . . .

some YT video guys have a code for their sponsor so if something is ordered with it, the viewer gets a little off the price, and the sponsor knows whose selling their stuff. i've used a code [from Martin @ Night Shift] for Michigan Toy Soldier. Micro-Mark offers a discount for NMRA members with no code, just declaring membership.
