  1. How long did you wait between the duplicolor primer and the next coat?
  2. Here is a good link describing the differences. https://www.difference.wiki/ratio-vs-proportion/
  3. Strips of styrene plastic in different size are useful for many modeling needs.
  4. Steve thanks for giving the insights how the decisions are made regarding kit changes and kits to be produced.
  5. Coming along nicely. I like the idea of using magnets for changing the pickup box and the turtle deck.
  6. Francis I have a question about the dash panel did you make a template for the panel. If not how did you get such a precise fit.
  7. Great update. That dash is cool. Love seeing how you approach creating each piece to this puzzle.
  8. I think that using a builder makes sense if you plan on making upgrades to the kit. To me start with a new kit if you plan to build it basically box stock.
  9. Lost in the world today is elegant design. Elegant design is finding the best solution to a problem. Unfortunately the solution to problems are typically overly complex. Unnecessary complexity leads to things being less reliable.
  10. Although we can create different labels for modeling. I think that it is more common for us to fit into different categories at any time depending on a variety of circumstances.
  11. I was looking at the SEMA 2023 coverage and the Ring Brothers didn’t do any hot rods. Would love to see them do more.
  12. You lucked out. It seems for me is the kit or parts I'm looking for are always at the bottom of the pile.
  13. Great start. Kits provide the material to follow the vision. Kitbashing allows you to create whatever you want.
  14. At the end of last year issue 86 was announced. I tried to see what was going on but the website is gone. They have a Facebook page but I don't do Facebook. Anyone know what going on with them?
  15. Looking forward to when you start back on this.
  16. Exactly. If you kill the spiders then the bugs they eat are going to be a problem. If I get one in the house I move them outside.
  17. When dragracing started there was little thought to safety. There were no fire suits. I remember reading the Don Garlits got burned badly and was lucky becuase he was wearing a heavy leather jacket. Every rule that is in place today come from learning the hard way unfortunately.
  18. Does anybody know the statues of the Galaxie tooling? They had some of the really Monogram dragster, the trailers, and the chevies.
  19. Plus the guy waits to buy it at Ollie's.
  20. Great project. Some interesting techniques. Keep up the good work.
  21. Check out this video. There a lots more paint information on this youtube site.
  22. Which kit is it? What year was it done?
