I use a photo album with sleeves for my decals. I've got them organized by genre and then broken down by class. I agree with Mark, to not use those sticky pages. Having dealt with scanning images professionally I always hated the debris those things leave. Quite literally you'd have to clean both the scanner and the lid after every scan. I have 8.5 x 11 sleeves that I originally bought to hold overhead transparencies. The plastic shoeboxes more than likely is what I'll go with.

Amazing build of a WV car. While I don't want to attempt this car, I'd like to know where you got the decals. I'd like to see what else they offer.

I'm getting ready to be off my feet for the next 6-8 weeks due to knee replacement. I'm hoping to do some modeling (when I can get safely to my model area) as well as trying to learn Blender. One project I've taken on is cleaning up my model area. In that process I've come to realize I've got two boatloads of aftermarket parts from PE, resin and various other materials. I've had them sorta sorted by manufacturer but realize that's not most efficient. I'm thinking broader categories but haven't figured out what to put them in. Here's my list of broad categories: Specific to make of vehicle Engine Front Suspension Rear Suspension Interior Body details Am I missing anything? Is there a better way to do this?

Looking Good.....really good.

What about pinning it and the directions to a soft piece of wood?

This is what I have. I inherited it from my father so I'm just getting used to it. I think it might be a better option as it would be slower and possible easier to aim. I think a larger drill will lead to lots of broken bits. I also believe a Dremel will be too fast. https://www.towerhobbies.com/product/electric-handy-drill/TAM74041.html?gad_source=1

The latest I've heard is the Indy cars will only be available from Salvanios. Sorry, the $80 is a bit of sticker shock than add shipping and I'm close to $100. That's a hard pass for me for a series I don't typically follow. -

Looks good.....I hope Round 2 reissues this kit in the future. -

The fuses are an amazing touch. -
Take a look at the recent Slixx gasser sheets. I think Reid's name is on it as well as the Plymouth. As for the other markings, good luck.

NICE!!! -
I've been tempted more than once to blow apart a 1/64 diecast and to detail it. It disappoints me how the quality of NASCAR diecasts has fallen off in the past ten-twenty years.

Dremel replacement wrench and collets?
iBorg replied to iBorg's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the replays. I think I'll try a couple of the chuck less units. -
Great work.....nice to see someone tackle the old resin. I saw the sanding discs. Can you share your source?

I'm in the process of buying four or five wrenches for my Dremel. Mine appear to have wings and fly away whenever I use them. I'm thinking of getting some magnets to glue is strategic places so I have a set place to return them to. While looking for the wrenches I also found brass replacement collets. Anyone have any experience in using non Dremel parts?

What do I have here? Flea market find.
iBorg replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The two kits in the Charger box or a Monogram AeroCoupe (#3) which was sold in black as Dale Earnhardts, the #24 is a Polar Lights Torino. The blue car is a reissue of the Mercury Marauder. All three date back about twenty years. -

Those seats may be the best I've seen in a GT 40. The pedal assembly is a huge improvement. What did you use to create the rubber portion covering the shaft? -

This will be fun to watch. This kit goes back to the days when Indy was the race of the year and innovation was king. -
I salute you're efforts to get the front down. Most pro stock models set way too high.
