This car really looks sharp. There is so much about it that's just right. Gonna be watching this one for sure.

Oooh, now you tell me. Pasting from MS Word is fraught with problems. If you have to paste from there, paste it in to notepad first, then copy and paste it into the edit window. We used to have a special paste button for MS word, but it never worked quite right, and not it's gone.

It isn't a car, but I'd love to get the Revell Mercury capsule on an Atlas rocket with its launch complex kit again.

Ausgeseichnet!

Kids have different priorities (as well they should).Seems like this would be a good place for a snap kit. They go together quickly, don't need painting, and are rugged enough to be played with afterward. They aren't cars, but simple Gundam kits are great in that they are intended to be played with after building and are pretty easy to build. My nephew has a couple of sons who will be visiting us this summer. We're planning to introduce them to Gundams.

Nice builds. Where did you find the '66 Dart? I learned to drive on one of those.

Very nice. How old is he?

It's somewhat misnamed, but Testors has 50's Aqua which is what I know as seafoam green.

I like the wheels. Where did they come from?

The kit is made by Scott Brodeen. It's very large, and cast in resin. Check Scott's site for more information. I'll post pictures over in the resin section if there's enough interest and I get some space cleared to take pictures. This is a large model.

Not a car kit, but my wife got me an early Christmas present -- a 31" Disney Nautilus kit.

I feel like silent Cal. (Calvin Coolidge)

Whatever you do, don't go rummaging through medical waste to get them. That used to be the advice in some model-building magazines. <facepalm/> You stand a good chance of getting skewered There are a lot of diseases you won't want to have on your medical resume and you have a good chance of contracting one if you're looking through that stuff.

Yes, the edit option used to disappear after 60 minutes. I turned that feature off, and you can now edit your posts any time.

There used to be a 60 minute window for you to edit your post, then the board wouldn't allow you to change it. I've turned that "feature" off. You should be able to edit them any time now. Let me know if it's still giving you problems.

It's not very user friendly, but that's the way it works.

I think the Chargers moving to LA is all but ratified. The city and county each offered $200M for the stadium. That isn't enough for them, and they've been completely intransigent in discussions with the city. Their primary representative is from LA. so they'll probably be leaving for Carson. I like football, but I gotta say, good riddance.

I've liked Weather Report for a long time, but I'd never heard this album. And yes, the title really is This is This.What can I say? It's jazz.

Go find a hobby shop that carries model railroad supplies. We get an asphalt material that you mix with scenery glue. It looks like the real thing. They'll also have trees, shrubs, and grasses for your scenic needs. We also use sifted dirt from the backyard for dirt. Can't beat the realism and it's cheap.

You have my sincere condolences. Even if you have kids of your own, your cats are still part of your family, and just as important.

Very, very nice; I especially like your paintwork.

My take on Veteran's Day is a little different. It's easy for us civilians to thank veterans for their service. But, today, let's also remember our obligations to them: 1) We will not to send you to war without good reason. 2) We will care for your wounds when you return. 3) If a war proves to be unjust, that is our burden, not yours.

Lacquer thinner is even better for cleaning brushes. Just don't use it for thinning paint without testing it first. I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, the state has mostly outlawed the sale of xylene and toluene, which are the usual ingredients in lacquer thinner. They call them Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Ironically, acetone, which is clearly a VOC is not included although extensively used for nail polish. I guess angering most of the female population was too big a step for even State of California.

If someone has the PDF instructions, you should be able to drag the file into the attachment area when you edit your post. Do let me know if there are any difficulties. I might have to do some tweaking.
