  1. Super tight! T-Bolts RULE! Bo b
  2. Perservere Roger. It's looking fantastic. You got it in you to see this through and come out winning. Bob
  3. Easy, Aurora 1/16th AA/FC kits and asessories. Bob
  4. I'll throw my hat into the ring as well here. Between Battlefield II, guitar, beer and work I am working less on my projects than ever. BUT, I now have a cure. It's called AMT 1960 Ford Starliner and I plan to see it through to the end over this coming month. Yep, it's NOT a drag car and I will finish it by the end of February. There, I threw the gauntlet down on my own self. [Getting to work]. Bob
  5. I'll post a pic this afternoon guys. Yep, you can spray 1814 over EVERYTHING. I know because I've tried. Bob
  6. Holy Moly Bill! That 99 will wear the inner part of those tires out in a week. Must be the control arms doing it. Looks like a tear apart/rethink is needed on that one buddy. Bob
  7. I was tempted to pass up clicking on this one because a great many scale flame jobs don't look all that great. WOW!!!!!!!!!! One of the best I've ever seen. Share your technique with the rest of us please. Perhaps a tutorial. Bob
  8. I [and many others] use clear acrylic to attatch PE parts. It's clear [Duh], and will not fog the part. If you mess up simply drip some thinned ammonia on it and try again. Bob
  9. Ca-Ranky, You Are Ca-Razy!!!! Good stuff. Bob
  10. I have read the first 2 or 3 pages of this thread til it started getting a little wonky. For me MCM still beats SA/SAE or whatever else they are calling it. I'm not happy with the schedule it has taken, but I get the issues that are released and am always happy I did. I wait till SA/SAE is discounted to 1.00 at my local shop and then I buy it. That's what I think it's worth. NOW, back some years ago SAE was THE mag to buy. It was relentlessly good and had muy content. I posted on the "MCM Want You" thread that I'd be happy to do a couple of articles and was not answered. So I am imagining that there is content galore awaiting publication and that my input was not needed. So the fact that the mag has yet to ship it's 2010 final issues has me baffled a tad. If I see both mags on the rack and I have enough for both I usually buy MCM and wait for SA/SAE to get discounted. My local shop owner understands this and doesn'y hold any enmity towards me for it. We've discussed it at length and he feels the same about SA/SAE content as I do. So I guess it's time to ask Gregg/Harry et all. Are you serious about publishing this thing and become the king? It's RIPE for the picking that's a certainty. I'll submit any amount of well written/photographed articles if they are in short demand. I'm a fan. Bob
  11. Very impressive Tyrone. The paint and the details are all VERY good. I need to try one of these but I'm afraid of how many years from start to finish it'll take me. Bob
  12. Looking good Brett... Bout time you finally got one. Yes I know it takes longer being on the other side of the world. You are making the most of it. Bob
  13. I will Bill. Come to work and say hi already. You must need SOMETHING. Bob
  14. Here is a couple of my stalled [for now] Baldwin Motion car. I'll finish it eventually. Bob
  15. SUPERB. I have only commented EVER on pieces that I like. This is truly fantastic. Take that for what it's worth. Bob
  16. Ken, to be honest I just pulled it out of the box the other day. With 12 projects in various stages of completion it looks like I may NEVER get one done. But hope springs eternal, so I'm actually working on my Bud King car while doing work on my Reher Morrison build. If you can't follow, don't worry. Neither can I.... Here's hoping I finish ONE drag car this year. Bob
  17. RIDONCULOUS John! Stunning. Bob
  18. For me it's simple. 1/12th/1/16th scale kits of MODERN Funny Cars and Top Fuel. Let's throw Pro Stock and Pro Mod in there as well Bob
  19. Superb build Bill. Whatever you're doing with paint is working very well indeed. You'll have to come over to the mancave [bill lives close by] and hang out. Brewskis are optional. VERY nice. Bob
  20. I'm sorry, did this all come from ONE YEAR? Gosh you are prolific. And all of em are keepers to. Well done laddy. Bob
  21. Superb results guys. Whether detailed or OOB, these kits really do shine. Bob
  22. I am painting out of doors Bill. Depends on the weather of course. As long as it's dry I'll paint when it's cold. The clear is enamel. It is Testors, but not the one caot stuff which is laquer. I only use laquer over white finishes. Bob
  23. Looking good there Bill. Now I get to see some of your work. I'm impressed buddy. Keep it up. Bob
  24. STUNNING Tri 5's. Paint is over the top. Bob
  25. I joined the ranks of builders who are using Bondo 2 part filler. You can get the small tubes at any auto parts store. It must be the 2 part though. I use Duplicolor for all my priming. Thanks for the compliments. Bob
