2025 Cannonball Run - 50 years since the 1975 run.
bobthehobbyguy replied to Mattilacken's topic in Community Builds
More progress. Things are coming together nicely. The interior now has been roughed in and just needs more cleanup. Nice thing is that the chassis and engine comments are assembled from the box and only needs a longer drive shaft. The interior has been stretched and the interior utilizes the Cobra seats and dash. This really keeps the project from spinning out of control. -
WIP Cannonball 2025 group build Maverick

More progress on the interior. Found something to use to fill in the tunnel in the interior. Added plastic to clean up the underside of the interior and to add strength to the unit. Mocked up the body with the glass and the interior tub to make sure there are no issues. It will need a little more adjustment. I had to use a second dash to match the position of the Cobra dash. Need to continue cleanup on the interior. More to come. -
With the wider acceptance of using 3d printing I can see the need for rules changes. For example if you buy stock if I purchase file for a model say the Uncertain T that should be allowed in a box stock. On the other hand if I create my own design then I think that would be have to be determined how to classify. Please share your thoughts.

Finally back on the bench. Chassis was lengthened using a second chassis. Only thing I need to do is lengthen the driveshaft.. Using the Cobra interior. Seats, dash and stretched tub. Using the top part of the maverick dash. A rough mock up of work done so far. -

First off an amazing models. They demonstrate the exciting possibilities provided by 3d printing. The quality of judging for contests for difference shows can vary from very good to bad. That has been one of the reasons that NNL ( display only) had become so popular. Congradulations on your people choice award which shoews appreciation for your fine work.Please continue to build and share your work and don't get discouraged. -
We normally get a official announcement that the magazine has been mailed. Is the magazine in the mail?

Sounds to me like this is an issue with the forum software supplier. Saw this fix on looking at SQL injection Example (in pseudocode) Vulnerable (direct string concatenation): username = userInput.Get("username") password = userInput.Get("password") query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '" + username + "' AND password = '" + password + "'" An attacker could enter ' OR 1=1 -- into the username field to bypass the login. Safe (using a parameterized query): username = userInput.Get("username") password = userInput.Get("password") query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ? AND password = ?" ExecuteQuery(query, [username, password])

My hats off to the mods for closing power keg topics which a majority of members don't come to this site for. The purpose of this site is talking about model cars there are plenty of other social media sites for other topics. Let's keep it that way!!

Forum Changes
bobthehobbyguy replied to Xingu's topic in Forum News and Questions (formerly: How To Use This Board)
The categories are fine. If people embrace tags there would be no need to make new catagories. -
Model Car t shirts????
bobthehobbyguy replied to Tom Kren's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
I concur. Getting the magazine back on track should take priority over merchandise and forum changes. The magazine is the foundation for merchandise and fo4um. -

Any time frame for when the forum changes will be taking place? -
Unfortunately instead of having enough staff the solution is to lock everything up. If there was enough staff they wouldn't need to lock everything up. Walmart does this all the time. My sister has found that it's easier to do parking lot pickup rather than trying to get things opened. I suspect that getting customers to do parking lot pickup is the desired result which means that can further reduce the number of employees.

Unfortunately this scam exploits the fact there are no restrictions for pm for new members. The first twenty five posts are moderated though. The pattern is always the same a new member with no post count referring to an third party that has the item for sale. This scam is called the WTB(want to buy " scam and is not limited to just this site.

Ordering From Overseas Still?

The current changes eliminate the tariff exception on toys. -
Past performance is not an indicator of future results is a common investment disclaimer.

Ordering From Overseas Still?
bobthehobbyguy replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I believe the biggest issue is that in the past items less than $800 did not have to be handled by customs. That threshold has changed and the system does not have the resources to handle the new volumes. Hopefully the issues will be addressed. -

A common phrase in computers is garbage out. This is a perfect example of that. -
