Whoa Mark. Time Machine Resin has some wheels I want. Thanks for posting their website. I hope their wheels will fit Ma's Resin soft rubber tires.

Does anybody make a mini-sandblaster?

Sounds like a plan, TJ. I've dealt with Scale Dreams several times and think it's a great place to do business with.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Jody. Your family will be in my prayers.

I was at the Ocala, FL store last week and they were remodeling the whole plastic/die cast area.

What the heck is cellulose paint? Isn't that the stuff women get on their thighs?

You gotta take care of yourself first. The forum will be here waiting for you. Want to send those kits to FLA to dry out? We haven't had a drop of rain in 2 weeks and it's been in the 90s. Just came inside from giving my plants a drink or water.

Yes, the title is true. Starting tomorrow (June 14, 2010) for a week, Hobby Lobby will be having 30% off all plastic kits and die casts.

Aaron, Can 4" duct work be attached easily to that motor? Don't you need to vent outdoors?

Yo Fuel Injected - go to Woodland Scenics website and check the dealers. I didn't count them, but there are probably 12 or so dealers in Australia taht carry the stuff.

Sounds like a lot of work, John. I guess that's something else I need to try. Your build was certainly worth it. Gorgeous combo.

Thanks for the correction, Brad.

Whoeee! That's a great combo you did John. The paint is unreal. Sure would like to know how you did it (hint, hint )

I just love what you do to a kit Marcos. Don't you love the frame in that kit?

I've used model train grass - it's kinda sorta like flocking. Paint the base green and while the paint is still wet, drop the grass on it. Same with the driveway. Model trains asphalt dropped over wet paint. I've used black paint and you can get the asphalt in different colors and grain size. I think the company is Great Plains that makes the texture stuff.

Looking real good, Dave - except the panel lines look so dark. Did you paint them black or something?

Looking good, Shane. Appears you ran a bead of Evergreen around the rear wheel wels after you radiused them? Nice touch. Front frame looks nicely done too.

We rode our bicycles over to St. Mary of Celle Church in Berwyn, IL for Stan Mikita's wedding a long time ago (late 50s or early 60s). Stan's wife lived in Berwyn. We were able to meet Stash, Bobby Hull, Ed Hall, Mike Ditka, Bronco Horvath, Ed Litzinberger, and others. Somewhere I have the old library card with their signatures on it. My old hockey team used to rent Ridgeland Common ice rink in Oak Park, IL for practice/games and when the ice capades were at the Stadium, the Blackhawks would run their practice at Ridgeland Common. We would get to share the ice for a few minutes. Stash and the Golden Jet always made time to talk with us and give us pointers.

Looks terrific Neal. Now all you need to do is add some BP oil to the beaches.

I likey like.

I'm really liking the color. Are you going to put some red pinstripes on it?

Thanks Skip & Andre. The flocking is plain ole Ken's Fuzzi Fur applied over undiluted Elmer's Glue. I run the flocking through a strainer, let it set a few minutes, and then tap it down. The next day I knock all the loose stuff off. I think I should have BMFd the rear floor panel edges before flocking - maybe next time. I'll try and get an outdoor pic tomorrow. I'm almost outta here to go cook burgers & dogs at the local VFW and I have a couple of stops to make on the way over.

Good luck on your move and the job hunting. If I wasn't all the way across the country I'd offer my truck & trailer.

Here's a '69 Corvette I just completed. I used Testor's emerald green with a 2 tone green interior. The kit had big wheels so I downsized to some other kit rally wheels. F/R bumpers were left off and the area filled. I also filled in the normal headlight location - you have to pretend the headlights are hidden behind the Riviera grille. I took the last 2 pics in a work in progress diorama.

Nice job, Jordan. I'm not into fishing but your boat sure looks good. The dualie appears to be coming along very well too!
