Precision Scale has some brass hinges if that's of any help. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/391079541295?lpid=82&chn=ps in the catalog i believe there are 3 sizes.

reminds me of the sopranos episode when paulie walnuts was throwing out shoelaces because they touched the floor in the men's room.

i would have pulled over just to mock

definitely worth the effort

if you don't mind small game, Preiser makes a pretty broad selection of 1/25 scale shootees.

maybe not rods, but interesting http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2015/05/19/bonjour-america-french-cars-at-the-lane-motor-museum/?refer=news

geeks gotta eat & pay cable bills, too

was this a Johan kit?

love the cargo bed. what an option that would be.

so's the '29 Ford

so, reading between the lines, it's a unanimous vote that Revell should issue an entirely new line of Parts Packs!!! just think, another 50 or so choices without buying whole kits. i'd even spring $1.99 for a body, $1.79 for a complete engine, and maybe $1.39 for 4 wheels - and tires. anybody else in?

Larry got skills

thanks

T & A is the way to go. anyone know why a company would not be consistent with their scales of the same genre (automotive-in this case) ? snooping for some steering linkage details yesterday, and noticed Revell has both 1/24 & 1/25 scale kits. http://www.revell.com/support/instructions.html i understand BIG jumps; the old guys need 1/16, 1/12, & 1/8 on account of their eyes and coordination giving out - same reason i've gone from HO 1/87 to O 1/48 - and now On30 gauge with 1/35 everything else with my railroad modeling! and kudos to the forum member making models from trophy top cars; beyond me.

interesting development ideas, considerations, & methods.

just you look around this forum and maybe something will pan out for you: http://z8.invisionfree.com/Scale_Racing_Lobby/index.php?showtopic=10199 "Resident member of Scale Racing Lobby and approved to offer original and reproduce Early Years Resin items and authorized Plastic Performance Parts dealer.

for anyone seriously interested in this subject, there's a fantastic radio show on W-RIU Radio every friday morning from 6:00 - 10:00 dj'd by Carl Eggert aka "the Egg Man". he "plays those tunes that have fallen through the cracks" and fills in with all sorts of trivia. been doing it for about 20 years. he's got a facebook page which posts the playlists later in the day. check it out: http://wriu.org/listen.php just click 'listen on line' over on the right. you'll be glad you did; seriously.

doggone it; knew i should have had that second cup of coffee. you are correct; 1/32" = .0313 inches (or .7938 millimeters). young whippersnappers ...... this link might work: http://www.btc-bci.com/~billben/convert.htm

any real vehicles guilty of using vertical grain? somehow doesn't "go with the flow" to mine eyes. Q: wood (sic) it be any advantage to use 1/64" plywood? might bend with less fear of springback & no jig needed to bend. Midwest makes it in different size sheets. http://midwestproducts.com/products/1-64-x-6-x-12-ply-wood 1/32 is close to 2 scale inches this (.7938 - http://www.btc-bci.com/~billben/fraction.pdf)

wash & drybrush to emphasize & highlight?

hurt feelings. take my marbles and going home.
