I've removed the posts in question. We won't allow that kind of taunting and disrespect for anyone on this board. Period.

You have my heartfelt condolences. It's never easy to lose a parent.

Holy Cow! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I haven't seen this either, and I was using the unread content view a lot for a while. I'll open a problem ticket with the forum software vendor.

This thread has wandered a very long way from its original topic. So, I’m going to lock it. For the curious, eModelcars was an experiment that failed. It takes a lot to get a given web site to fly, and it never got to that self-sustaining state. I wont say we’ll never revisit the selling aspect, but it’s not on our agenda right now.

Ok folks, enough is enough and this is way too much. All the models I built as a kid are gone. Sometimes I miss them, but then I realize I’m doing way better now and they would just be an embarrassment. Let’s be kind and assume that people are doing the best they can. If they’re having fun, great. Let’s leave it at that.

Looking forward to watching your progress. The wheels would have been painted silver grey. Very rarely would they have been chromed due to hydrogen embrittlement. I think the engines were a specific red color (sorry, colour). If you need info, Moss Motors has parts catalogs online.

This is an especially nice build. The rope door handle, underside detail painting, and pinstripe decals are very cool touches.

Having done plaster work myself, I’ll add to the chorus of take it out. Done right, it has a nice, organic look to it, but it’s totally not worth the weight and trouble.

My son has one of these for his Gundams and anime figures. It’s very nice, especially for the money.

This has been making the rounds lately: I'm posting this with a heavy heart...? As much as I love working on, and building model cars, it takes up too much of my time and I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics such as cleaning and helping with my home, so something has to give. I will be getting rid of my collection. Below is a list of what's available. Serious inquiries only please and don't insult me with your offers. Thanks for reading and understanding... Dustpan and brush Sponges Dusters (feather type!) Mop and bucket Window cleaner Vacuum

Thanks. This is a good idea. Saves space, and makes the pictures more useful.

We went from an FJ40 Landcruiser to a Suburban. With kids and all, you gotta have 4 doors. After the Suburban got stolen, we bought ourselves an Xterra; also 4 doors. Drove that poor thing to death, but got 265K until the transmission failed. I don't get why people buy the fancy leather seats for their SUVs. I don't know about the rest of you, but the interior of our vehicles see way too much salt, sand, and dirt for leather upholstery to last more than a few years. The upholstery in our Xterra was derided as cheap looking, and it kinda was, but boy was it durable.

I wonder how well you'll actually see the cars in that location. I know my eyesight isn't the greatest, but for me, the cars would be there, but not very viewable.

Yes, just attach them to your postings. You can also copy and paste photos. We have essentially unlimited space. The only downside is that full backups can take a long time, and a LOT of space. But that's my problem. Sadly, we lost all of Harry Pristovnik's photos, thanks to Photobucket turning evil.

Found this in a Facebook Morris Minor group.

Welcome back! That is a rough ride. Hopefully, you can initiate a criminal complaint against these people. If they’re convicted, you can get restitution as part of the sentence.

I’ve heard from other people that Jay is very down to earth and approachable. Seems to be an all around good guy.

I've only used old-formula Bleche White. It worked great. Used lacquer primer and paint with no problems. I still have my bottle. Guess I'd better keep a close eye on it. I have a $350 kit I want to come out perfectly.

The robot reminds me of Davros from Dr. Who.

I found a cause to some of the picture upload problems. We had the file size limited to 2MB. A lot of pictures are bigger than that. I've upped the limit to 3MB, and may increase it further to 4MB. If you have problems, check the file size first. If 3 MB isn't sufficient, let me know, and I'll increase the limit further.

This is great to see. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

That's a surprise. Thanks. It seems to have something to do with the message content. Try posting the first half of your message, and see if that makes a difference.

This image was pasted from a random web site. Right now, I suspect there's a browser/Windows combination that isn't working. This is subject to change according to the dictates of reality.

What browsers and operating system are you all using? I tested that on Chrome and Windows 10. It worked fine for both drag and drop and copy paste.

Doug, that looks like orange peel. No practical amount of super fine sanding will fix it. Orange peel is a huge problem down heat due to the heat and low humidity. I don’t know if you’re using an airbrush, but if you are, try thinning the paint more. Lay down another color coat and try to make sure it’s a little wet. If you’d like more guidance, come to the San Diego Model Car Club meeting. We have a lot of expertise in painting.
