  1. Just did a Google search and the$8.29 is in line for what most places are selling including Amazon. Guess Rustoleum has raised the price to.
  2. Great concept. Nice work so far.
  3. Given that project x has always been a test bed converting it to ev was a natural step. EV do have the performance but not necessarily that long of a range.
  4. In my book it being a space capsule it is even more agregious considering the higher requirements. You don't get a mulligan when something goes wrong and the errors with take up to 7 astronauts out in one error. It's also their first involvement in reusable space capsules. Not a way to instill confidence. Gotta wonder did they use the table on their aircraft.
  5. Well look on the bright side at least they found the issue before a plane crashed because of it. Just think of the money they saved by not inspecting the tape before it was used. As good as the cost cutting measures Norfork by cutting back on train crew and doubling the length of the trains. Just think how much wire is used in modern planes and how much tape is used. Bet it's going to cost a bundle to remove all that tape.
  6. 1967 was when the first Camaro was produced.
  7. Sounds like there is a 3d printed kit. Gotta agree it would be a gas if Atlantis had the molds because that's the only way we'd ever see a plastic kit.
  8. Cool article. Great build up. Nicely done.
  9. Actually the fires were started to literally create a smoke screen for the alien invasion force from outer space.
  10. The AMT kit was the Johan kit. They also did the Torino nascar. Doubt they would clone those kits. As said best bet will be the mobeius kit that's coming.
  11. Nicely done. Very clean work.
  12. Relationships of parts and their location can to difficult to determine when instructions are vague.
  13. Dug Dug was a 1982 video game.
  14. Yeah but you have to be careful with online ordering because they may send a kit from a group ,you need to read the fine print closely.
  15. A couple of thoughts I suspect you shot the candy blue too wet and it dissolved the pearl white and pulled away from the sharp edges. I've had that problem in the past with tamiya.
  16. Steps are a great way to get some exercise.
  17. Great looking aint.
  18. True but duplicolor Lacquer coats are thin and if you consistently are burning through to color then one needs a couple more coats. That way if you start seeing color then you know you are through that clear.
  19. One thing that might help would be to put more clear on before you polish .
  20. Sky is the limit when you choose to use your imagination to create new things.
  21. Check out the link in this thread. It will give you some ideas on how to approach scratchbuilding.
  22. Flake is a label you don't want to be labeled as because it implies you are not reliable.
  23. Sorry to hear you guys are dealing with this. There had been a couple of fires with that kind of smoke. Stay safe and protect yourself from the smoke.
  24. People need to focus their energy on the things they can control and not waste time and energy on the things they have no control.
