There should be a drop down arrow on the not now. Click it and select never. You won’t get the pop up again.

Blu Tack fits that bill too and has about a bazillion other uses on the hobby table.

I have two airbrushes; a Paasche VL, and a Grex double action gravity feed. Many years ago, my friend loaned me his VL. I like its versatility. I use it for bodies and large parts. If I’m painting small stuff, I use the Grex. It’s easy to load and clean. But, 0.3 mm is its largest nozzle. The VL goes up to 0.5 mm. I think if I were getting one now, I’d get a Paasche Talon.

City naming in the Detroit area is a mess. So far as the post office is concerned, it’s all Detroit. However, there are numerous “vanity cities” and don’t you dare list the customer’s address as Detroit. Baseline might well be one of those vanity cities.

Someone was wondering if I get paid for this. I don’t. I do it because you people do good things and this world needs that. Unfortunately, I’m having health issues of my own and that’s put us way behind on under the hood maintenance. I’m hoping I can get on the road to recovery soon. I appreciate everyone’s patience.

I assume you’re wet sanding? You need a little give under the sand paper. I use a Staedler Mars radiergummi for most of my sanding needs. I keep thinking that one of these days, I’m going to sit down and design some proper sanding blocks for model cars, then, sanity returns.

Wow. That’s awesome.

We’ve been struggling with this issue for a while. I think I have a way to get the necessary diagnostic data, but I’ve been in the hospital twice in the last month or so, and need to get better before I can tackle that problem and a few others. I will get to it, but I cannot right now.

I like the MGB-GT.

We cruised through the Encinitas car show yesterday. I was driving, so wasn't taking photos, but lots of interesting cars, both foreign and domestic. I recommend this event to anyone in the area. It's the third Thursday of the month between May and September.

It was relocated.

I’m sorry. I don’t understand.

Well, that shoots down my current hypothesis.

I found Gumby and Pokey on one of my business trips. Brought them home, and they played with them forever. Gumby enlisted as a test pilot in the Ambrose Model Rocket Space Force. One lovely San Diego morning, he ejected successfully from his craft, was picked up by a northbound air current, taken out over Mission Bay, and never seen again. Rachael still mentions it every now and again.

The next time this happens, try shortening the text in your post. I’m beginning to think that this is a factor.

My favorite kind. When we lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, Zachary’s was our go to pizza. I sampled Due in Chicago many years later and Zachary’s was definitely authentic. Nobody local to us makes a good deep dish pizza.

Sehr ausgezeichnet. I hope I got that right.

What topic is this regarding?

It’s a two edged sword for the celebrities. Yes, it’s nice to be adored, but a pain in the drain after a while. John Dobson is a superstar among the telescope and astronomy community. We went to a lecture he gave locally. People were having him sign all kinds of unrelated paraphernalia, which he dutifully signed. We brought a copy of his telescope making book.* He smiled while signing that one. I don’t blame them for charging. It keeps the casual collectors at bay. * because we’re giant astronomy nerds.

I have multiple sources, but The Voices is my favorite. Sometimes I find historic cars when Googling around. I too have a notebook, but techie geek that I am, I keep it in Evernote.

Cool. Looks like you have a pair of keepers there.

Some air quality regulations require it. Acetone is not considered a Volitile Organic Compound as they do not want to make enemies of the female population. In point of fact it is. People around here seem to buy theirs in Nevada where it consists mostly of toluene and xylene.

We have indefinite storage for photos. Our primary disk is YUUUUUUUGE and is only 20% full. My database disk is another story, but I'll spare you that saga. I like the idea of only putting a handful of pictures in a post. If you do quote a post, delete the pictures you aren't responding to. That will make everything more understandable to other people reading it, and relieve us tablet users from having to scroll three miles down a thread to read all the responses. The selector goes by number of posts, not length.

I like it. Is this the 1/24th scale version?
