  1. In no way shape or form would I take someone's wife as a hostage .... I have enough women in my life , thank you very much ! Lmao ! As for the gloss .... One at a time , one at a time , it just keeps creepin' into the soul and don't let go ! Psst ! Hey Doc , look what's in this greasy brown bag ! Mmmmmn! Primantis! Smells so delicious ! Lol !
  2. Done ! , old friend ! It's just too much of a financial drain . Licensing fees , piracy , slow sales , etc , they all took a toll ! I wish them all the best ! Unfortunately , I don't think they'll be the last . People don't realize what it takes for these mom and pop shops to stay up and running . Believe me , it's far from easy !
  3. Nope ! It's all over ! Sad part .... Some of our " brethren " , have left some really nasty messages on their machine , complaining about the delay ! Becky is a sweetheart and certainly doesn't deserve that ! I teased that they should have gone out of business awhile back when she told me that sales have really picked up . As Wayne said , they were hit with an avalanche of orders when they announced they were done . People need to understand this and just be patient , they will get the orders out !
  4. See ? The Stump Chaser just proved my point ! I think you hit one to many cypress trees with that thick southern noggin of yours ! Betty should have put training wheels on it , you might not have fallen on your pointed head so often ! Virgil , The Blue Snake is on it's way ! Don't be tackling the postman either !
  5. Talked to Becky yesterday , she is finally getting caught up . For you , or anyone else ordering at this time , please be patient . There are only two people there and they can only do so much ! A week to ten days at most would be my guess .
  6. Ooohhh ! Virgil ! That boy is definitely anal retentive and getting worse by the hour ! I can't fault him for it , kinda like throwing rocks at my own windows !
  7. Nope ! The Stump Jumper is just plain full of it , and I don't mean tears either ! Lol !
  8. So what's so great about celebrating your 80 third birthday anyway ? Although I do have to admit , you look pretty good for a guy who sat behind Moses in second grade !
  9. Look at it this way , with the suit on , you can always disguise yourself as The Great Pumpkin ! The Loosiyana Loonietic would never know the difference ! Lmao!
  10. Try adding a couple of light coats of clear , just mist it on . Another solution , add several coats of PearlX over top . I'll look for you tomorrow and post the # and color after I get to the shop.
  11. I really don't think that's possible , you being more confused than normal ! No such thing , Stump Jumper !
  12. Too late for the Ruler Of Rust , Tinman ! .... Guess who's next on my list ? Bwhaahaha !
  13. Hmmm ! The fact that I'm six inches taller , 75 lbs. lighter , don't smoke cigars and do not wear oompalumpa jump suits ? Aside from that ? You can't ! Great disguises , eh ? Lmao !
  14. Sorry , I don't ! Being that I was behind the vending tables most of the show , I rarely get to see what's on the tables let alone photograph them . I do know the club took photos , they should be up in a day or so ! Tim ...... Thank you ! We enjoyed ourselves too ! Hopefully this show will continue to grow , the fact that it is close to home is a big plus also !
  15. Well , I'm glad you're pleased with the turnout , that is a good thing ! You need to go back and watch the last segment on the DVD again which covers wet sanding and polishing ! That will answer your questions right there ! You have two choices , you can either wet sand the existing finish and polish it out to a high gloss or apply a clear coat . As long as your finish is free of debris , start at 4000 or 6000 under cold running water and work your way up to 12000. From there , follow the steps in the DVD on polishing out the finish . As for using Future , that's on you ! It certainly wouldn't be my choice , but , it's your model ! Remember what I said in the DVD , cheap always comes back to bite you in the hindquarters ! Congrats on your paint job , I'm really happy that the DVD helped out !
  16. Yes !! The proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing !
  17. Several of my friends and I learned long ago how to mimic voices , this included cartoon characters ! Working together used to be hysterical for the casual observer ! These days , when I occasionally go off , Kathie will step into the doorway of the booth and say , " Hey Sybil , you and the other personalities need to quiet down " The neighbors are getting restless " ! Then she just walks away laughing !
  18. Yes...... No...... ? Cars are for the shine without a doubt ! Trains , on the otherhand , are the victims of the dark side . The fact that I corrupted The Ruler of Rust , simply priceless !
  19. Doggone it ! Should have worn my Oopalumpa suit ! Nobody would have see through that disguise !
  20. Uh huh ! In the shop as we speak ! I need to hire a crew of Munchkins to polish these cars out for the shows ! What a pain in the Southern Regions this is !
  21. Did you notice that it's always the grey haired guys that are at fault ! What about blamin' the addict ? But noooo! I'm starting to develop a complex here ! Wadda ya mean by that ? Don't we have enough of them ? Sure ! It's all about you ! Way to go ! , Virgil ! Now all the little voices in my head are fuedin' with each other ! Bwahahahha ! Mommy ?
  22. From an early age , I was taught that the strongest man always stands alone . In times of trouble , it has always been that way , and I prefer it as such . Others noticed it long ago and it became an apt description , Lone Wolf The 15 is the number on my softball jersey and has been for 42 years . The Old Man moniker was lovingly laid upon me when I was twenty eight years old by a softball team . Hence , oldmansmodels.com
  23. You can shoot the standards over top of it without a problem , it's just something I generally don't do ! As for what you are seeing , mark wise , the enamels will fill all of that in . Remember ! Multiple , mist coats !
  24. Ed , Relax ! No harm , no foul ! Wet sand the body , wash it off , dry it , reshoot the metallizer , let it flashout . Give it about 30 seconds and then apply your paint ! The metallizer is only used under the pearls and metallics , otherwise , shoot your standard colors right onto the prepped plastic .
