Now we have proof it was Ledsledmerc. How come we don't hear from him?

Got the chrome tape from MegaHobby. I believe they had different colors too! Line-o-tape is what it's called.

I get flocking from Rick at Scale Dreams. There's about 40 colors to choosed from. I paint the area to be flocked after it dries I brush on Elmers glue (the white stuff) over the area. While the glue is still wet, I sprinkle on the flocking. I put the flocking in a strainer and push it through with a finger. Seems to work better that way. After a coat is down, I tamp it lightly with a finger. Let it dry. Oh yeah - put whatever you're going to flock on a clean sheet of paper. After drying, shake the excess onto the paper, kinda fold the paper to make a chute and put the excess back into the container. Rick (Scale Dreams) sells Ken's Fuzzi Fur. It comes in small plastic containers (tubes). I like that better than Model Car Garage that sells it in little baggies. Search for flocking on this forum. I'm sure somebody has done something with pictures. Auto World used to sell the chrome tape as well as other colors. I found some somewhere recently, but usually use Bare Metal Foil (BMF). There's probably a post somewhere here about BMF too. I'll get the source for the tape when I go out to the shop Later.

The Bluesman Mark post about the old lady in the supermarket parking lot got me to thinking. There was a post a while back that some body paid the grocery bill for a lady and then was meeting her for lunch. She was a keeper as I recall. Anybody know what happened? Just curious.

Now I've got to go check ebay. I told myself don't buy anymore models until I ccomplete some of the ones I have.

I remember Fred Lorensen's Ford as being white with blue numbers. We used to ride our bikes over to his shop in Elmhurst, Illinois to watch him work on the car.

Well nuts, Rick. I'll have to another pair of the RnD seats and then at least 2 pairs of each of your new seats. And then probably some ignition wire, and other stuff. I'll be at your website soon.

Rick, These are new from you? I thought I bought a pair of Recaro seats from you a couple of months ago? This the same seat? I need to order several pairs of each seat from you soon.

That's one gorgeous model. Love the wheels and details.

Those are pretty neat Ed. Going to put them in a diorama of yours?

The mailman brought me a '41 Ford Woodie and a '56 Ford pick up from Matt Leblanc. Thanks again Matt.

Great looking vehicles! Love the gate idea you came up with.

There's a club fairly close that's part of a nationwide or worldwide organization. They do all knids of models but only a few cars. That's the only reason I haven't gone to a meeting.

Put me in for a Tundra and Tacoma, but only if they're the extended cab versions. I don't like them with the big doord front & rear. Might as well throw in a Nissan Frontier King Cab too. Can't hurt to ask.

Lyn, This is going to be fun. I'll bring my digital camera to take pics, some water & pop, and my 10 x 10 canopy to keep the sun off the kits and maybe the rain too. The weather last night said some tropical depression is going to stay way east so a hurricane shouldn't bother us. Think Shane and matt will get jealous with your supply of kits?

The mailperson was good today. She dropped off a '37 Ford Tudor, '69 Yenko Camaro, a Waverider S10, and AMT Parts Pack. Got it all from Lyn (turtle_rancher) through Ebay. My supply keeps going up and I'm having a hard time trying to keep up, and there's more coming. Display area is an issue that I need to address in the near future.

I like the color and the wheels. It all looks good together. I might have to try more Tamiya paints instead of just the clear TS13 and clear pearl TS65. I noticed your envelope of BMF in the back. I think you're supposed to store it in the refrigerator.

I've never been to a model car club meeting. Looks like your meeting is part show and part sales. Do all model clubs do the same thing?

Thanks John. I keep trying.

Yo Wayne, Got enough kits? Your stock is much, much better than my LHS.

Come on Lyn. Build one! Elmer's is no good - except for clear parts and flocking. My latest auction purchases should arrive tomorrow - can't wait. Hope you're doing okay. I sent you a message to your ebay address.

Here's pics of the '32 Ford Phaeton I just finished. From the front, I used smaller parts bin headlights, smoothed the hood, wired & plumbed engine, tired my hand at brake lines, 19" & 23" Pegasus Ts with Pegasus disc brakes, voodoo head shifter, polished aluminum steering column with turn signal lever, PE door handles & gauge cluster, front to rear console, one piece tail light, polished aluminum exhaust pipes, Testor's rattle paint with Tamiya clear.

Excellent idea and looks good too.

Cob webbing used to done, like i said with straight lacquer and low pressure. Some big name customizer accidently forgot to thin, went to shoot, and this stringy stuff came out. The process, after prep and masking was to spray clear that was greatly retarded to keep from drying. In another spray gun that was redy to go with the straight lacquer, you just shot it out. Different air pressures gave different sprays so you had to adjust before the final. After drying you laid down a couple good coats of clear. Let dry and start block sanding. And then more clear and more sanding until the surface was flat. If I can ever find them, I'll post my old Capri and Buick Skylark that we cob webbed.

Looks most excellent - especially the color. As I look at your pics it appears to be a tangerine flavor. The top stripe looks like cobwebbing. How did you do that? Used to be straight lacquer with low pressure at the gun.
