  1. I was having the same problem when my wife suggested I look at internet exploder. I had version 6.0. I have since upgraded to version 8.0 and the band in the middle of the post screen was corrected.
  2. Looks excellent. Nice detail.
  3. I get the same thing with the box in the middle as mountaindewd when I come in the forum through AOL. If I come in through Internet Expolder, it looks okay. I can move around, get new posts, PMs, etc. without a problem. I like the old version much better.
  4. What happened to the old version? I can't see anything I type in a post and Mr. Obssevice's suggesstion did nothing. I use AOL.
  5. No way! Get out of town! You did that with a PEN? Holy cow, I can't believe it.
  6. Enjoy the snow! I had 52 of them in Illinois (minus the 2 that I was in Vietnam) and that was plenty.
  7. Merry Christmas to all MCM Forum friends.
  8. In addition to a small supply of 3M wet/dry sandpaper in various grits, I also use sanding sticks in a variety of grits. I ordered the sticks through Scale Dreams. They don't last very long when using wet but they're very nice. I also get finger nail sanding sticks at Walgreens, CVS, and Wal-Mart. I believe MR.Obsessive says in his tutorial to put a coat of Future over the surface to prevent ghosting. Something about sealing the plastic (I think).
  9. Ed Shaver got it right. I told you guys that there's a Santa Claus and those other allegedly mythical figures. Best of luck to you Pat.
  10. I have no idea what you guys are talking about with sig pics but I had problems getting on the forum on Monday or Tuesday morning. Later on everything worked okay.
  11. Looks real good.
  12. I like purple & red. What can I say? My Nissan Frontier is white with purple flames and a red stripe. My HD Wide Glide is purple and the flames have red tips. My dune buggy is white with a pruple stripe and red striping. The purple is to honor the fallen heroes from our many wars and the red is to remind people that we still have POW/MIAs. Should I have mentioned that the grille is from a '58 Chevy?
  13. Looks like it's a huge model. I've seen real trucks similar to it on the roads around here. I like your version.
  14. Yo Chevyfan, How about getting with the program and putting your real name in the posts? Where do you live? Australia in the desert?
  15. I remember those days from living in Chicago, Nick. I'm glad I moved to FLA.
  16. Pretty cool - actually hot - looking idea Nick. Give some thought to wrapping some of the cotton around the whole tire. I think it would look more realistic. Back in the day we used to use angel hair. I couldn't tell you what it was made from though.
  17. Pictures at Ma's Resin aren't the greatest. The pics Jeff S posted look terrific. Where are those wheels from.
  18. Yeah. I got this thing for purple & red.
  19. No snow in Citrus County, FLA yet. Supposed to be 29 degrees on Monday morning though. I'm planning to stay inside the warm house.
  20. Amazing. Just amazing.

    '69 Camaro

    I haven't been able to do much with models because my Mom is visiting from Michigan. Here's my latest completion - '69 Camaro in Tamiya purple, Testor's grape stripe, Tamiya pearl clear. I rolled the pans pans F &R, Pegasus Diablo wheels & disc brakes (each hole drilled out), wired the engine, polished aluminum exhaust, cutout the fake side vents and filled from the rear.
  22. I have the time and a HP scanjet 3500c. I would be more than happy to scan everything at no charge to MCM. How's that for a deal?
  23. Hey Harry - maybe you should think about moving out of Cook County.
  24. Perfect stance! I love it. Terrific paint.
