  1. If I get two PM, do I have PMS? I think the email validation is all set. Yes, it's weird, but it's just like me: so loveable :-)
  2. Aloha, Clay! e komo mai Love the backdrop!
  3. I want to be like Tom Kren!
  4. Aren't those extinct? Oops, sorry, I thought you were talking about those dinosaur thingees..... Thanks, James. I appreciate the support. I have been trying to clean up my own personal day-to-day vocabulary, and it's funny how easy it is to do. Not only with cuss words, but simple words, or phrases, like "uhm, er, or ugh" If you take the time to think about what you are saying, you will be amazed at the quality of the words that do come out of your mouth. It kinds of makes you seem edumacated! (that's a joke, my friends) I catch all my misteaks before they are printedd.
  5. House cleaning is on hold That was an idea that flopped. I should have tried out it first with a few I think that's one of the upgrade fixes. Oh well. Thanks for your patience. 22? Bob's the winner!!!!!
  6. Leave me alone! I tried to clean up, and dropped the broom. As Broomhilda would say..... oh wait, that's another forum.... Okay, I pau The emails should be stopped, right? I double checked the admin panel, there is no bulk email pending. Need to upgrade board, will do overnight this week, when only me and the Google.bot is on !!!!!
  7. Okay, I quit! This is really bad I will work on this during the week I'm sorry for the 18 emails, Bill, and Dave, and everyone else who go bombarded. Have no idea why it does what it does but it does...
  8. I sent out a mass email to all my family members here (anyone with 10 or more posts), and if the email notice comes back from yours or my IP as a no good email address, that account will be deleted. So far, five minutes into this, six back already as no good Yes, Gregg has a broom.......
  9. I would grab an Mustangs and Fords magazine and take a look Usually everything was semi-gloss black, but that's from memory, and that's fading.
  10. Anything is possible But back to basics, the who, what, where, etc. What is your air supply? How much pressure? What type of paint/thinner? What thinning ration you are using? What color socks? sorry, last one slipped out.
  11. I was going to respond that this would be a great question for Jairus, because he is the guru of airbrushing in my book. And lo-an-behold, five minutes later, it happens! If you have any airbrush question, drop Jairus a line, and I can almost guarantee he will have the right answer, or point you in the right direction. domo!
  12. At our local club meetings (at my house today) we routinely get $5 a kit prices from recent or newer kits. So, it depends on how old the kit is, how much they want to spend, and can you bundle the bodies together to make it a two for one type of deal Selling parts is harder to do, and you may be stuck with a bunch of junk in the end. So, with that being said, if it's a good body, then $5, if not, you are stuck with junk. My two cents.
  13. This is meant as constructive criticism only, and it's not meant to be negative When I saw the first pic, I thought you were doing a Harry (Real Or Model). But when I saw the painted grille opening, that gave it away. If the grille mesh was black or even chrome, it would be a great ROM shot. So, in other words, you done good. And yes, that's from the boss :-) Put a real license plate on there and no one will ever know!
  14. I just went through this same thing. First off, the basics: Who, what, where, when, etc. Airbrush, equipment, pressure, paint, thinner, etc. Then can go from there. Mine ended up to be some junk under the o-ring in the main air supply/valve in the air brush.
  15. Screen names are fine, but the signature is where we like to see who we are talking to. On that subject, I am also going through the screen/display names and asking for some changes to those offensive ones.
  16. I am going to be going through posts and threads and cleaning up and/or deleting posts where there are swearing, attempts to swear or cuss, using *&^%$ in place of swear words. Come on guys, this is a clean site. You want to cuss, that's your right, but I will not stand for it here. I pay the bills, and like Mark says, it's my sandbox, and them are the rules. Keep it clean, and it will be a lot more family family, and will see more and more new posters and builders here. Okay, I pau.....
  17. swear, cuss, or attempt to will get you deleted. I brought this up before. Have some respect, please I will going through all posts on the board, and cleaning it all up.
  18. Let me know how the site is
  19. Nick, I beg to differ, but I stand to be educated. What do you prefer? Is there something better? Great builds so far, Dale
  20. Don't work Email me or use the ftp. Thanks, Bob!!!! Great job!
  21. No, Yes, Maybe, Or .... I could see you a signed copy of the first issue, for ........
  22. Guys, this is a great thread. I am going to PIN it. I want these stories, and more, in print. I don't know if you all know of my humble beginnings, but I was brought into this hobby after walking through our local hobby shop here in Hawai'i at Windward Mall (Sorry, Tom Weller, I found you after), and saw the cover of the Feb 1987 issue of Gary Schmidt's bible, Scale Auto Enthusiast. I was hooked. I even wrote to and received a response from the Hawaiian Punch Funny Car builder on the cover, who is till today, the person I feel got me into this addiction/hobby/job/family/ohana/401K/FirstClassFlights/100KMilePerYearShowTours/ blah blah blah... that I am so blessed to be doing now. That bump up to First was a blast, right J? Anyway, I was flat on my back, or as the guys in our local club will tell, and this is the truth, I was pushed around the first model car contest I ever went to in a shopping cart. There are probably pictures out there somewhere on EvilBay, but I heard that there is a cease and desist letter from Wee Sue Him & How, my corporate and copyleft attorneys, and it is impossible to find. Oh crud, where was I? Oh yeah, being me. I want all your stories sent to me in separate emails. I want the query letter format of the story. Your one or two paragraph sanobisis (I can't type or speel without a dictionary or red underlines) I think this is such a major part of our hobby. I want to start putting these stories together. Without our history, and past, we have nothing to look forward too. I think I just made that up.... If not, oh well, I got's kidneys up on top!!!!
  23. That was what, Last year? luv yah!!!!!
  24. That wasn't you holding my beer?
