  1. What a neat looking dio.
  2. Happy Birthday, stranger. I miss seeing your fantasic plastic skills.
  3. I usually use Micro Krystal Klear for windows. The same thing happened to me with the Tenax applicator. I followed the directions to clear it, but that didn't seem to work.
  4. Hobby Lobby is having a 30% off plastic & die cast model kits that ends October 16, 2010. There's also a 40% off any one item of regular price October 11 - 16, 2010. The sale & coupon along with the 50% off coupon for Michaels any one regular item is going to force me to take a bike ride late tomorrow morning. My first project in the morning is to get shipping prices on 2 dune buggy items I sold on Ebay. I think Monday is going to be a good day - hope all of you will have a good one too!
  5. My wife forced me to stop at Wal-Mart last night after we went to dinner. I spotted a Campbell-Huasfeld compressor with a 1 gallon tank for $50.00.
  6. Must be nice you can work on your builds at work, Joe. Is there a HobbyTown out your way now? I don't remember one when I was in Aurora.
  7. Good looking build, Joe.
  8. Pretty slick looking build.
  9. Jeff - you dog. What a fantastic score! Should have bought a bunch of them and got into the Ebay discussion.
  10. I'm liking the Exagon Furtive eGT. Don't care for the electric part but I do like the body lines. I'll bet the chances of ever seeing a kit of any of those concept cars is about zero.
  11. Good looking build. That silver thread must have been a pain to glue down.
  12. My local Michaels usually has garbage in the tiny space for model cars, but I'll probably take a ride up there Monday anyway. Maybe Hobby Lobby will have a decent coupon in their weekly email so I can both and the LHS too.
  13. Looks super!! Are those decals on the side or did you paint them? They look good. Where did you get those wheels?
  14. I spray in an outbuilding and have my spray booth vented to the outside. I don't think I'd want to try spraying inside without ventilation. I had a Badger air compressor and traded it off after listening to the experts on this forum. I purchased a unit from Lowe's with a 3 gallon tank - it came with a staple gun, too. It's small and portable so I can carry it around to inflate tires.

    Love the color and excellent pics of a terrific build.

    69 Nova

    That is one sweet looking Nova! Did you use that suede paint on the interior? WOW! Nice looking build.
  17. Michaels has coupons available http://mic.michaels.com/20101003WeeklyUSLP.aspx?reg_source=MWK1010&utm_source=mwkly&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mwkly100610&id=606&referenceno=80485976569 50% off October 10 & 11, 2010. 40% off October 12-16, 2010 on any one regualer priced item.
  18. That Effie looks just great. I love the color and the graphics.
  19. I once had a close friend who was wounded in Vietnam. He was actually wounded several times because the VC were using him as target practice to try and lure others out to help him. Amongst other wounds, Jerry suffered severe nerve damage to his left arm leavving it painfull and about useless. For years he wantedd to get the arm removed to aleve the pain. We were able to arrange the removal - and then he started complaining about something else. Jerry took a great many pain pills that killed him, despite the professsional counseling and friends trying to help. In his note, Jerry said he couldn't go on any longer. Jerry checked out but left his wife and 2 children. Jerry was a friend and a hero, but left in a coward's death. I believe the 9/11 people who jumped were trying to save their lives by getting out of the flames/heat/gases. No, I don't know Leonard Woods personally. If I had, I would have certainly tried to talk him out of ending his own life.
  20. Got my package from MisterArt yesterday - OOMOO 30 and Smooth Cast 300. Watch out casters, I'm getting started.
  21. I realize that not everyone is retired and has time on their hands, Don, but I can take just so much back and forth talk. I suggested a date/time with the sincere hope that interested people would it's good and they'll be there, or bad and suggest an alternate date/time. There's been neither.
  22. Strange. I tried listing a bunch of VHS tape plastic cases - 35 of them - and Ebay wouldn't let me go higher than $3.00 for shipping. That forced me to go at the listing from another direction. The tape cases weigh8 lbs and there's no way they'd ship for only $3.00.
  23. This started way back in June and still no news? Makes me wonder.
  24. I asked that very question, Len. Only Gregg knows. I hope it's soon, though!
