  1. Already have a sticky of this in the Rants/Raves section. Of course, you can tell who doesn't read the stickies.
  2. Actually looking at pics online, his camera has a button on the back for macro (like my camera).
  3. On my camera, you partially hold the shutter button, and it will auto-focus (if the knob is on the Auto setting). Using the macro button allows you to move a little closer, but it will still be blurry if you're too close. Mess around with distances until you can get a clear pic. It is a digital camera, so you can take as many as you need.
  4. Hey, rhymer! We don't take kindly to your type around here!
  5. Are you talking to me? George, are you talking...to me!? Haha I'm not the original poster, their name is Shelby and Darrin (according to their info).
  6. Don't be like that, not everyone here is a pro model builder. Heck, not everyone here uses BMF (I don't, I just use silver paint for trim or paint the chrome). We're all here to help one another build better models, and if you don't post any pictures, we won't get to see your projects! Nor will we be able to accurately help you with any issues you may have.
  7. Does it grow fur and claws and suddenly have an appetite for fish?
  8. Along with that, a good place for various parts for muscle cars is the Summit Racing and Jegs catalogs. They have engine parts, exhaust parts, electrical, wheels, tires, drivetrain parts, all in color and showing available options.
  9. When the picture is on the screen, hit the "Prnt Scrn" key at the top of your keyboard (mine is above F10). Then open up Paint and hit Crtl+V. Voila! Anywho, I use Google initially for both pictures and links to forums. I also browse CarDomain for some vehicles. For domestics, I go to the American Car Brochure site.
  10. For the wheels, I would think a light black-wash would help them out, since right now they still look like plastic (if you plan on keeping them white).
  11. The Probe is a key moment, but I wouldn't say for that reason. Ford was thinking of having the Probe be a replacement for the Mustang, to compete with the Integra and such. Mustang fans said "hell no!", so they used it to instead replace the Ford EXP (which was a sports coupe based on the Escort).
  12. Is that Tim Taylor as a pirate?
  13. Edit: Here's the rest of brochure for references. http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/chevy/67vel/67vel.html
  14. Well, I do know that Oven Cleaner translates to Oven Cleaner.
  15. '53-'62 C1 '63-'67 C2 '68-'82 C3 '84-'96 C4 '97-'04 C5 '05-present C6
  16. Dang, might have to do some modifications then!
  17. I picked up the Boondocker one last summer because I was building the rereleased version of that kit.
  18. That Dodge looks awesome! Great builds for just being snap-kits. On the Dodge, what do the inner rear wheels look like? Do they look anything like the front wheels or are they more like spacers? If you have the instructions, could you take a pic of the page that shows putting the wheels together? (I'm curious because I have the same model and want to use the wheels on another kit, but I don't have it on hand to look myself.)
  19. I used the oven cleaner to strip my F-350 Dually, and it wasn't too bad. I got the scented kind, so it doesn't smell like a chemical plant. I used a plastic bucket so it didn't get all over the place. I used gloves and goggles (The goggles, they do nothing! ) so I didn't get it on me. And the plastic parts seemed fine to me when I was done. They even held paint just fine afterwards (after washing them off with soap and water first).
  20. So that means Kevin is wrong on all three!
  21. Great pics, but you're gonna want to cover up/blur out those "chest bags", this is meant to be a family site after all. (Though I'm certainly not complaining! )
  22. I see it now. It looks like they had two plants in the state that they used.
