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).

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.

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.

That's really cool!

Looks real good.

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?

Looks like it's a huge model. I've seen real trucks similar to it on the roads around here. I like your version.

Yo Chevyfan, How about getting with the program and putting your real name in the posts? Where do you live? Australia in the desert?

I remember those days from living in Chicago, Nick. I'm glad I moved to FLA.

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.

Pictures at Ma's Resin aren't the greatest. The pics Jeff S posted look terrific. Where are those wheels from.

Yeah. I got this thing for purple & red.

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.

Amazing. Just amazing.

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.

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?

Hey Harry - maybe you should think about moving out of Cook County.

Perfect stance! I love it. Terrific paint.

Isn't this an off topic subject and doesn't belong here? Seriously, holiday greetings to our MCM family.

It's only money! I'd be interested in a CD/DVD of past issues and I bid $25.00.

Looks good to me. More importantly, sounds like the bonding experience was worth it.

I did jury duty in Chicago for a week. Took the train into the city from burbs. It was fun. Then moved out to DuPage County, IL and was picked for jury duty there. That only lasted 2 days. Moved to FLA and served only a couple of hours when they said I'm not needed. I've heard that you get some pretty interesting cases and more money for a grand jury case. You need to do your civic duty, Harry. Take a laptop computer and work the forum on your lunch hour. Maybe you'll get sequestered and have all night to work the forum.

Looking good!

Pat Redmond got it right.

I'm with 100% George. Put your name on the post. What's the big deal? There are options - 1 Play by the rules. 2 Don't play here. 3 Change the rules.
