  1. I've had Type 1 Diabetes for 50 years now. I've had the neuropathy for years but at least it's mostly numbness with little pain for me. Thanks for the info on something that works for you. It seems nothing works for many. Here in Massachusetts there's another option. I'm registered as a Medical Marijuana Patient for Diabetic Neuropathy. It's the CBD that does it, not the THC that gets you high. That's a nice bonus, though. Since I don't have a severe case I don't have a lot of experience with how it treats pain, but it seems to work when I do.
  2. Beautiful! It was a pleasure watching this come together.
  3. For heavy removal you should invest in a Dremel and a rechargeable one is best as it will not melt plastic as much as the plug-ins. Auto body putty is the standard putty now. Two part Bondo is what I use for deep fills and one part for quick, thin applications.
  4. 1/24 motorcycles are hard enough to find, where did you find 1/35?! This is looking good!
  5. I have a TR4 resin body that has needed as much grinding as this, but it's all worth it for the rarity. I can see all the work you've put in this and it's looking good.
  6. Was below 50 this morning and the cat came in and settled in his winter chair. Winter is coming, for sure. I've done virtually no modeling all summer so maybe the weather will get my bones down to the workshop.
  7. I too build the one with the grey, fold-down side, the USS George Washington, when I was 15 in 1961. I loved all the detail painting and the fol-down to reveal all! Why did I ever trash it?
  8. A beautiful job on one of my favorite cars!
  9. Beautifully done! ... I really love that Merc
  10. Sometimes you need time to renew your excitement. I have two 944's and a 924 Turbo sittine in wait for me to complete. The fact that I had 1:1's of all three hasn't helped me get going again.
  11. Welcome to the forum ... there are some great works going on here. ))
  12. My family came to Quebec in 1640 with the French Army, but moved to the Thread Mills of New Bedford MA in the 1800's and then to Hartford CT later for the same reason, work. I was born there but always claimed Canuck status.
  13. That paint looks liquid!
  14. Wonderful build. The decaling impressed me more than anything, even after seeing that trailer!
  15. Very cool project ... looks like a chopped, channeled and sectioned truck.
  16. I'm fully enjoying watching all the beautiful detail you're making!
  17. I feel good because many of the many stalled here are less than 10 years old!!!!! These are the worst offenders ... 1956 Volkswagen Kombi bus I learned to drive on. needs repainting and some rust outs first because I found some old photos recently ... 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe. A conversion from the Japan labeled Skyline to the one I owned. Convert to left hand drive dash and Nission to Infiniti badging plus scratch built rear wing. Just needs 4th repainting of shiny black. (( 1992 Crown Victoria My Dad's car that I converted from a '97 cop car. Wish I knew of Art Andersons resin before starting, but it's painted and just black trim giving me troubles.
  18. an Inferno for sure!!
  19. This is looking good! I saw this at Connecticut Dragway sometime in the late 60's
  20. Do you use them with just the blade in hand. They look interesting. I've cut bodies with every technique mentioned and still use many depending on the situation at hand. It's been interesting to see all the techniques uesd.
  21. That's a real beauty!
  22. I'm not a Corvette person, but the coming posts on this are deafening already!
  23. Looks really good.
  24. There are just way too many to pick from ... ... I'd rather pick from cars I've owned, but that is hard too ... so I'll choose two that I owned ... I had a 1967 Triumph TR4A when I exited the Army. It was exhilarating when the SU Carbs didn't need to be synced. Then, after 4 previous 944's, the last Porsche 944, a 1991 was the best. It had the 3-liter four destined for the 968. Gobs of torque from those coffee can pistons. Still, my 2016 GTI is faster, but nowhere near the suspension on the Porsche.
