I really hate it when people keep rumors going - Mr. Rogers was NOT a sniper - he was never even in the military!!

Model CARS magazine forum. Where does it say boats?

I found a set of the Caddy lights from an old Merc kit. I'll bring them Sunday. I usually don't put mirrors in my builds so probobly wouldn't need any dice - but I'd like to see them. maybe I'll start installing mirrors.

Ecto 1A. The Ghostbusters car. Yeah. It's '59 Cadillac. They were available as a custom option on '49 Merc kits. They were chrome so would need to be cut off the main part and painted red.

What is an ecto 1a? Couldn't the taillights be made from something? I guees we'll have to look closely on Sunday.

Looks good Chuck. Love the color.

Mark, Nine years ago I finally had enough of the Illinois weather and left Aurora for Citrus Springs, FL. Been lovin' every minute of it. Unfortuantely, I'm required to attend ViêtNow National Board meetings on a quarterly basis in Rockford. Next trip is in January. Please ask everyone you know to turn on their heat full blast and open their doors and windows in an attempt to raise the temperature.

Beautiful model. Everything looks perfect! WOW.

Glad to hear you're doing well, Clay. Keep it that way! Don't volunteer for anything. Keep your weapon(s) clean. Eat and eat whenever you can. Don't eat yellow snow. Thank you for taking time from your life to serve our country. God bless you and God bless the USA. SEMPER FI.

Cool model. Love the color.

If there's snow, I won't go. People around drive stupid on dry roads. I can just imagine what they would do if snow was on the ground. Grimreaper & Mustang3.8 - I wrote down the models you're looking for and will keep an eye out for them. Three parts missing? If it's a Revell or Lindberg kit, those manufacturers are pretty good about sending out replacement parts for free. The left coast of FLA is supposed to be dry, sunny and 70 on Sunday. Hope the other side will be similar. In either case, Lyn, I'll be bringing my canopy again. You laughed last time but it came in handy, didn't it? Oh boy, we're going to get some work done and have a good time doing it. Can't wait to get there.

I used to put parts in a container, pour in the purple power, and let it do it's thing. Most recently I added an additional step to the process - I put the container into a zip lock bag and seal the edge. The purple power seems to do a better job and quicker when it's sealed up.

I'm so happy I've never dealt with you - and never will.

Eric, I drove 25 miles just to visit Hobby Lobby because I figured they would load up for the holidays. NOT! This is the store in Ocala, FLA.

Acres does some nice work. Nice babe too! Zed's work is fantastic. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how the masking is done and how those fine lines are created. I've tried Line-O-Tape, slitting tamiya masking tape and still can't get the lines these guys do. Is there a secret someone would like to share? Please.

Good looking wheels. What are they? Are you going to fill all those chrome trim holes? I can imagine the holes filled and that trim across the middle painted a contrasting color - but that's me. I have a '58 Chevy kit but it must be AMT. Mine doesn't have all those holes.

Got squat! I had a 40% off coupon for Hobby Lobby and stopped there today. Their shelves were almost completely empty of model kits.

Don't listen to them Mike - DON'T CHOP IT! It looks right the way it is.

I can't give an opinion about other model car forums because I've never been there. MCM is the only forum for me. I've never ssen so many fantastic models! The ability to share ideas and parts, swap parts, and gets tips on how to do stuff is great. Why would anybody go anywhere else?

I ate too much! Hope everybody had a terrific Thanksgiving. We had a small ceremony to remember our present day troops, Veterans, and our still missing brothers before eating, and then we played God Bless the USA. It was good. Today I get to go and sign the papers for my new truck -2010 Nissan Frontier King Cab.

Your whole setup looks real good. How about more pics of your builds? Welcome to the forum.

Terry, The MAS website I have bookmarked is very old. Do you have a new site?

That's one tip for the books. I'm going to try mixing different flocks in the future. Thanks.

They should be offered with tires. How much are those puppies?

How did you make the swoopy thing that covers what would been the back seat? I can't recall the proper name.
