  1. As said you can't blame it all on corperate greed. Companies A and b both make sprockets, Company B starts doing their manufacturing overseas. All the consumers want is cheap and company starts losing market share to comoany B. To survive Company start manfacturing overseas also. Now you have two issues to deal with you have to have somebody willing to invest in rebuilding those factories here. However the bigger issue is the consumer using the price as the only factor in there purchase rather than price and quality.
  2. Nice work. The idea for doing the emblems is great. Way to difficult to do otherwise.
  3. Nicely done. One of the nice things about modeling you can try so many what ifs.
  4. Love it. Superclean work. Its amazing that they wnet fron something nobody wanted to going for big bucks.
  5. Problem is when the trend to go overseas for stuff most people didn't want to buy American. Becuase they could say a few dollars. The manufacturing went away.vwe are now paying the orice for that stupidity.
  6. That is good news. Its good to know all those things are normal. Take care of yourself.
  7. So any updates. Are you doing better Harry?
  8. Conductive paint for repairing pc boards has been around for a while. I've always thought you could spray it on plastic and then be able to do electroplating.
  9. Beautiful work Harry. The changes you make really make a big difference and your work is very clean,
  10. Looking good so far. Curious to see what you do with the paint
  11. Nice and clean. Any chassis sots? What was the source for the engine and chassis?
  12. Some vey nice work. Wonddr if he ever finished it. He hasn't been on the site since apr 2014
  13. Love it. Wow this is going to take some serious slicing and dicing.
  14. Like it. Wheels look good on it. Are you going to do an interior for it?
  15. i think this sums it up. You can always find a way to offend someone without intending to, bottom line if you want to improve then tell others that is what you wantIbthink the best policy is ro treat this forum as youvwould attending an NNL. You wwouldn't walk up to someone and start telling them how to improve without them asking for it.
  16. Nice start. Always liked the imsa cars. Looking forward to seeing more.
  17. Another issue is you look at a model that has issues however the last five who looked said great model. Do risk being called a troll for pointing out the issues or do you add another attaboy. This is a difficult issue and there are no easy answers.
  18. TYere have been many threads on this subject in the past. If you want an honest critic of your work then you need to let them know you want it. There are some very thin skinned individuals who take any criticism as a personal attack they only want to hear how wonderful they are. Whether their paint makes an orange look smooth or things are grossly out of scale.
  19. Like it. Great choice on colors.
  20. Sorry those items are not that tempting. I'm holding out for the UT kit carved from coconut shells plus the UT key fob made from coconut shells.
  21. I take Steve Scott and reality seldom are in the same place. I'm sure when he fails it will be somebody else's fault.
  22. Interesting project. Will be following.
