  1. Don't forget Ed Fluck who is filling in his late father's shoes: F&F Resin. Ed, under Drag City Casting. Ed's work is getting better and better every time I see a piece from him. Marc, I started snatching up some of Art's kits as well. Just got the 59 Limo and the Blazer S-10 I think I have a few more laying hidden in storage QuikSkins does some great ones as well, for the racing fans. Personally, I love the Model Factory Hiro and the Studio 27 kits. Terry, thanks for all your support over the years. I really do appreciate it. Hope to see you at GSL in a few months.
  2. Switch to IBSkin Red Pro There are probably issues with the uploads on other themes which quite frankly, we don't have the time or resources to fix now
  3. Correct on the side marker lights. For Germany, I believe it was that when you turned off your car, parked on the street, you had to leave the turn signal in the opposite position that the car was on the street, ie, parked on right side of street, turn signal has to be on the left. With the way they were wired, you turn off car, turn signal to left (parking on right side of street), and power goes through to the light on the left side. That's why with some of the older VW's, you would have that extra black/green or black/red wire to the turn signals. I think they were numbers 55 and 57, but that's my old memory going.
  4. I need photos of the KIT motor, from the Revell kit.
  5. Does anyone have a photo of the built up Offy motor in the new Revell Midget Kit? I need it, like now!
  6. The last time was when I was there, right Dan? That was sooooo cooooolllll! Literally!
  7. Guys, I think the gun was jumped on this, and I didn't realize it till now The new web site will have an intergrated log in that will use your same id/password as that in the forum Now, with everyone going and registering for the new site, before I knew what was going on, it may cause some of you to get "oh crud." You may have to log in again, but hopefully with your forum log in info. So, I am trying to turn off the registration module for the site, and hopefully the bugs will get worked out this weekend.
  8. Programer is setting it up so your forum log in will be the site log in. Be patient while the buggies are worked out
  9. Patience, my friends!
  10. Per Programmers: "Human Error" I love the honesty of these folks And they are on it too!!! Sorry for the hickup
  11. I set the date for the 2011 Hawaii NNL March 13, 2011, Sunday Ala Moana Hotel Plan on bringing your family and friends to Hawaii's only model car show! Sponsored by, you guessed it, ME!!!!! I mean, Model Cars Magazine Last year we had Ron and Pat of Parts by Parks as our featured vendor. Plan on a lot of fun, sun, and some fantastic models!!! Hope to see you here!
  12. You know, that is a good idea. I'm so glad I thought of it..... With all seriousness aside, that is a great idea. Once I get better, we can look into doing this. I'll have to convince the gang, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Maybe a look behind the scenes? Hmmm..... I'm so glad I thought of this!!!! p.s. I did do my hometown NNL last March, and will hopefully be doing another one in March 2011 as well.
  13. Good suggestion, I will check settings. Thanks, Erik
  14. Great job! And welcome!
  15. Jackie, I think everyone here has voiced feelings and sadness over this loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Take care, and don't hesitate to ask for any help at all.
  16. Mark, Mark, Mark....
  17. Unfortunately, my latest list has no Wyoming hobby shop If you know one up there, let me know. I will pass info on to office in Denver Also, if your local hobby shop is selling out (George), let us know as well. On a perfect day, they should have three left over each issue, so they don't miss sales, readers don't miss out, and everyone goes home happy!!! For Canada, Kelly and I talked about this today She said that when she used to mail letter to her friend up there, it would take no less than two weeks for the letter to get there. That is nuts! That's also why it costs so much for mail to get across the board for publishers. It's just red tape. So, my friends, does the sound of a digital version of the magazine sound appealing to those who are far away? It's an option, let me know what you think. I know I have brought this up time and time again. Just want to see how everyone is thinking/feeling on this. IT WILL NOT REPLACE THE MAGAZINE. Let me repeat this: IT WILL NOT REPLACE THE PRINTED MAGAZINE. Okay, I pau
  18. Sebastian, email me. We need to talk. Gregg
  19. Dave, Dave, Dave... Sorry, couldn't say anything else...
  20. Thanks, Gary Kelly and I still laugh about it too! Congrats on the Atlanta awards!!!
  21. And of course, the D word: Divorce...... I think once you loose that effect of the illusion of creating a real car, in scale, you have gone too far. I have seen way too many models where the builder was just trying to stuff upon stuff upon stuff, and it looked so tacky. I think the old adage, less is more, works well for models. It's about creating a realistic illusion, to me. I do love to build the super-detailed ones, but those are few are far between. There is a 1/43 Superior Make Up Japan kit that would blow the minds of almost everyone here. That is too much detail, and it's 1/43 scale, too boot. That one may be the ONE that does it for me. So, when is time to stop? When you start adding stuff on that looks like it was added on. okay, I pau...
  22. Got to your profile (your pic at top of page) Go to Edit Profile Go to Change Avatar whadabing! There is a size limit to Avatar I think it's 150 by 150 pixels.
  23. I don't think Facebook would be a good hosting site for your photos I would use one of the free ones. I have used Fotki for ten years or so, others love Photobucket. There are too many issues with Facebook, although it's a great avenue to reach new and old friends. Maybe link on FB to your Fotki pages? Have the photos been "published" yet on FB?
