Yup, a little metal support will work well there. As you suggest, some small mod of the glass may be required to accommodate the support rod. As Les mentioned, there are many materials that can be used, and thinner materials will help with the glass install. I mention 1/32" brass rod only because I have a bunch around and use it for a gazillion things. A thin strip of pop can aluminum may work as well, though sand the thin plastic coating from the can before cutting and gluing. Many other things can be used, too.

Yup, been guilty of that myself in the past. These days I sometimes go one further, and omit the entire engine.

Issue 220 finally showed up yesterday in Nova Scotia. I had pretty much given up on it, was surprised to find it in the mail box. Good looking mag.

SA continued to produce the Contest Annual a couple of years after they closed their doors. Don't know if that is still the case.

Welcome Carl. Enjoy the forum.

Welcome to the forum, Devyn. Great bunch of helpful and supportive members, here. Cheers

Welcome to the forum, Paul. It's good to see some younger builders in the hobby (in this day & age, I consider any modeler under 40 to be a young builder). Looking forward to seeing your builds. Cheers.

Hello Sam, and welcome from the East Coast. Nice looking models you have there. Looking forward to seeing your projects. Cheers.

It is my understanding that adding a powder substrate to CA glue does not make it stronger, and may make it less strong. Adding a powder to CA is used when needing a filler. For maximum bond strength, use the CA straight, and without accelerator. Further strength can be achieved by bonding a length of 1/32" brass rod on the back side of the a pillar.

Welcome to the forum, Garry. Enjoy.

Welcome to the forum, Craig.

Welcome to the forum, Dave. Cool looking Holden you have there.

Very cool project. The drive parts and chain look fantastic.

Love it! Great looking modified. Nice detailing.

Yup. When you click 'reply' to a thread, a box opens up to type your reply. Near the bottom of that box are two buttons; 'Add Files' and 'Other Media'. Click 'Add Files' and it will give you choices from which to retrieve your photos. Choose 'Photo Library', and it takes you to your photos on your phone. Tap the photos you want to post, and on the upper right (at least it is on my iPhone) click on the word 'Add'. That will upload them to the area at the bottom of the reply box, with the word 'Insert' at the lower right of the photo. Click 'Insert' to post your photo to your reply.

Cool pics, Les. The story of the Rolls hearse is amazing. Glad to hear it's staying where it belongs.

Nice clean work. Looking great.

Coming along very nicely. Bummer about the hood.

Very cool build, Rich. A lovely model of an awesome race car. Everything looks great. Very nicely done.

Very cool build, Gary. Nice bit of history, too. I great to see this piece of Ford racing history, and this MPC kit, built up on the forum. Well done.

Very cool little truck, Mario. The colours suit it perfectly. Nice work.

Thanks much for the report, Jeremy. Very interesting stuff. Can the cured gel be wet sanded smooth before applying the powder? Will the powder stick to sanded gel?

I had no idea of this one. Just read the answer is a Volvo, looked for the diagonal bar... (face palm).

Cool take on this kit. Heavily weathered, it somehow seems much more plausible than the shiny showrod. Nice rust work.

Very cool stuff, Claude. Inspiring paint work. Very creative.
