  1. Just got an email confirming the Sheraton. This was a general GSL update.
  2. The new color looks great.
  3. Yup that's what happened to Oroville. Lots of thrift and antique shops and they just don't do that well. Plus your town is up a creek without a paddle if Walmart decides to pull out.
  4. Plus at least Hobby Lobby has paint and evergreen plastic and other items. HL is the.better choice especially if there is no local hobby shop.
  5. Absolutely love it. One great looking T.
  6. I agree that it would be worth trying and if you're not happy with it you can decide whether to strip it.
  7. It's because the big corporations are being run with the same flawed philosophy. The two most important parts of a purchase are the buying experience and the delivery and installation. . The delivery is where the corners get cut. Outsource it as cheaply as possible. In turn the delivery schedule is aggressive with no time to deal with any issues.
  8. Cool project. Great concept. I think it worth the effort to adjust the roll cage. Everything else looks great.
  9. I think the paint looks great. Think it would be a waste to strip it. Yes gunmetal is a metallic. If you do want to paint metallic you would probably want to work on your technique. Also askd in the questions for tips on spraying them.
  10. Beautiful work on the chassis. Nice weathering on the engin6e.
  11. The mantaray would be a cool kit. It's so cool.
  12. First off 3 months to fix their problem is totally unacceptable. It's obvious hey we have your money we're in no hurry to fix it. Second they are paying as little le as possible for delivery and it's shows in the poor Install. Unfortunately this is typical of the big name stores.
  13. A lot of places outsource delivery of large items. Costco recently brought that delivery back into house because the contract delivery was creating too many problems.
  14. Great color choice. Nice paint work.
  15. Weight loss requires self discipline, you can not just quit eating you must control what you consume.
  16. Think it's time to return to the original topic. Yup I think this sums this up well. In addition I think it also depends on how much work it would be to modify the existing tooling whether it is economically feasible.
  17. Great color. Hopefully it will darken with the clear but I think it still looks good.
  18. I also got the mass s mail in July 2022 and also one in March 2022.
  19. Some good ideas. The figure painting sites are a great idea. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixtures to aid building with limited use of one hand.
  20. The first model I remember building was the dragster from the monogram 49ers series. I wonder if there was any chance Atlantis got those molds.
  21. Nice work. The beauty of model building is to be able to build them to your preference. Lots of great parts to work with.
