  1. True.....and ebay MAY at some point block Paypal....but as they are not the booming site they were....I don't see them limiting payment methods. IMHO only again!
  2. ebay and Paypal for SELLERS has changed. Disclosure: I did NOT read the thousands of words in the new agreement....I have a life. BUT....in my opinion here is the what and why I have gotten from independent sites on the web. ebay, with it's guarantee of buyers getting ALL their money back when they do not like the item they bought. had to chase the money Paypal sent to sellers account. Now they want your bank account to 'deposit' your funds from selling items directly......very handy right? Also very handy for ebay when they need to refund a buyer.......the agreement gives them the power to WITHDRAW funds from your bank account even if you do not agree. I had 2500 feedback....almost all from selling. I will not sell on ebay any longer until this situation changes. IMHO ONLY!
  3. When I need something that my regulars do not have......last resort....Amazon.
  4. We have crackheads and drugies here, not many, there are only about 5,000 residents in the county. But EVERYONE has a gun, lots of dogs too. So the crackheads tend to go after businesses and commercial property knowing no one is there after hours. Two idiots broke into a quarry a few miles from my house. They stole stupid stuff like a conveyor belt motor. Then they went after copper wire......copper wire that was HOT with 220 volts. One got fried.....the other left and a few days later tried to sell the motor they stole......he must have been very sad.....NOT!
  5. MAJOR award for getting those decals to work!!!!!! New they were a pain!
  6. My spin: 1/48 SR-71....Wow Kit that includes a MASK???? Really?? Star Wars Razor Crest!!!!!!! One of the best SW designs in years!!! The VW vans will be on my list.......'Little Miss Sunshine'
  7. I NEED one...................
  8. Well done.....how does the chopper scale out????
  9. A REAL early crush...before I knew what that was....RIP Mary Ann
  10. I looked at those.......keep us up work progress!
  11. I got that one.....just some detail paint........door window frames bug me
  12. You have a nice, clean build.....good detail. I wanted a model of this car for YEARS.........then a friend of mine in NJ, about 2014, said Revell had spent the day with his friends S&H Torino......I could not believe it!!! I've built a S&H version but also a Bill Elliott NASCAR first race version! Well Done
  13. IMHO ONLY those are not $100 kits........ Better to ask forgiveness than permission......
  14. Botcott ALL AMT kits and you cut the kits available by about 50%...... I enjoy all kits in one way or another. I like to MAKE them look good. And I have fun. box stock other than tires.
  15. Boils down to a persons Point Of View....... Most AMT tooling is 50 or more years old and is different than a kit tooled today. I find that almost any model can be made to look good......depends on how much work put into the kit. Two AMT kits. AMT Lil Gasser converted into a log hauler: A more stock build....same era kit ass the KW you spoke of. Peterbilt COE by AMT
  16. COOL!!! I love movie vehicles! Is that a vac form kit or injection???
  17. My daughter's clothes dyer that calls her and asks, once the clothes are dry, to tumble them or stop.
  18. A little retooling and we can get this back...........I have one
  19. I see a 'Little Miss Sunshine' VW in the works......a simple kit is perfect for the vehicle.
  20. There was a website out there that had a story about the film being 'color corrected' and making the car on film a slightly different color than the real car was. So it depends on what you want....a model of the car as it would appear in person or on film. I built one tears ago before we had a good tunnel back Charger. I used Testors bug yellow with a little green; When R2 brought out there snap Charger I built another Dirty MAry Charger. It was painted with Tamiya light green and then yellow. It works for me.
  21. There are lots of things I'd lay at the feet of Gates and his TECH buddies.....but not the telescope failure.....
  22. A Laser printer can print white. The printer itself is in the thousands and the laser toner ink is $500 per cartridge.
  23. When I did the decal art for a Model King kit to make sure no issues I made the decal 'TRUXS ADMORE' rather than 'TRUXMORE' which is a brand.....there are ways!
