Its cool that he got to go. For me you couldn't pay me enough to go into space. Way too many parts made by the lowest bidder.

Sounds to me that the charger cord might be the issue. It needs to be a tight fit. Sounds like a poor quality cable. Why did you replace the original cable?

Looks like something Homer Simpson would build. Either that of jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies would build.

Although spoons are good for testing colors and paint compatibility I'm not sure that it is a fool proof way of testing recoat times. Different manufacturers specify recoat times. But I think you may get away with violating those times but it occasionally my go bad. It would be safer to stick with one paint brand and type and follow that manufacturers reciat time recommendations.

Sad news. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

It sounded like the paint worked this time. What changed that?

Great color.

Nicely done. Looked like polishing took quite a bit of effort. Great concept.

Nice so far. Great color choice.

Nicely done. Superclean. Great color.

Definitely a cool concept with lots of potential.

I'm sure round 2 has done their homework and there is a sufficient market for the kit. As far as the price they are aware of the impact of the price , and if they could it would be lower. Also $91 is the msrp and I'm sure it will be available for less than that. Again they feel they can sell enough to make the project work. Hopefully this will be a success. If not it will definitely determine if they do any all new truck releases.

Definitely a log would help.

Unfortunately it's not always difficult to find derailment here at times. In some cases it results in a topic being locked. Don't let it discourage you from asking questions , topics seek to be non controversial can become a mess. We've had this discussion several times in the past. It is a topic that some are very passionate about.

I had a really good laugh this morning. One of the banners ads was for"belly button rings". I had a great laugh. Love to know how google thought we would be buying them.

Consider shooting a rifle long distances. There mare many factors to consider what influences a shot. You simply aren't going to do that just reading about it.

Preston. Modeling is art. With modeling there is no magic procedure for building the perfect model. If you draw it takes practice and effort to become proficient. No one can learn without doing. I and others have offered good advice from our years of experience modeling. None of which you seem to want to listen to. Unfortunately I firmly believe you are not going to be pleased with the results you get because you are not willing to put in the effort to achieve that goal. I just don't see that it can have any other outcome. I have tried to be supportive of you for your endeavor. I will no longer bother with giving advice to you because you are unwilling to learn from it. Good luck at your attempt to model. Show us your efforts and results.

The best advice is to test. You need to use some of the exact decals and test those with your final clear coat mix. You need to try several ratios of clear to thinner mix. You want to add enough thinner to allow the clear to flow but you want to avoid making the mix too thin. By testing you will find what works for you. Also test the lacquer paint mix both clear and final color on the sprue from the kit you are building to make sure you don't craze the plastic. Testing is the only way to know precisely if you are going to have issues. Although others may make suggestions as to say mix ratios there are too many variables that can cause disappointment. Test, test, test. There is no substitute for testing. There are no short cuts if you want to accomplish good results

Nice touch. On the exhaust what about putting thinner torsion bars in. Would be more in scale and give more clearance.

The cup of noodles been around for a while. Would have been more suitable for the April issue. LOL

i agree . Great attitude to have.

I think it happens for many of us, been suffering a bit a slump myself. When I get into these slumps I think back on the times when I built models as a kid. In fact I'm finishing up a Weirdos flame out Freddy. Far from perfect. Some of the hand painting is a little rough but its been fun. Sometimes we gotta become that kid again.

Yup well said. Too many things to do. I'd rather accomplish something useful with it.

Actually Bill I was ignoring those who were disrespectful to Tim. They definitely should have known better. I have no time to waste on them. I'm open minded enough to not to have to ignore somebody simply because I don't agree with them.

Nicely done. Your perseverance paid off. Sometimes it can a take a few tries to achieve your goal.
