  1. must have been an acute angel angle. a cute angel. no; wait. an acute angle. this is all getting pretty obtuse . . . .
  2. does all this mean if i tell you i've been doing something for 40 years you (collectively) will not believe me? Harumph!
  3. http://www.gizmoszone.com/shopping/agora.cgi?product=Bronze_Rod;ppinc=1a http://www.amazonsupply.com/ http://www.ksmetals.com/ http://www.ksmetals.com/resources/cuttolength.pdf http://www.specialshapes.com/
  4. this is why the Lionel layout used to get so dirty so fast. one rainy Saturday afternoon and i'd be wiping the whole Plastic-ville town down for weeks!
  5. I can't remember what, or if, I had lunch . . .
  6. it's nice to be important, but sometimes it's important to be nice. situations sometimes dictate.
  7. maybe drill & put in a brass pin for reinforcement
  8. this might work: http://www.gaugemaster.com/seuthe.html finding a place to put them will be the challenge.
  9. b u t . . . . . .
  10. I just got #176 today. from first scan, looks like a great issue.
  11. I think it (lack of photos) prevents spontaneous purchases.
  12. just keep that positive attitude and you'll be j u s t fine
  13. check here: http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/ membership is at a premium, though
  14. when you finish this one, here's another idea: http://www.plymouthbulletin.com/adventure01.htm and comments here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/23259-1941-the-richardson-pan-american-expedition
  15. the color combination on the rpu is great
  16. if there's no place where the frame rails are parallel, what's a good way to get a line perpendicular to the centerline of the chassis? this information could be helpful for a myriad of purposes. thanks
  17. odd way to handle it. years ago a merchant was only required to send the title block back to the publisher for credit due on unsold magazines. I would hate to think someone is getting credit from the publisher and making money on the magazine, too. doesn't quite seem fair.
  18. it looks great. unlike any '29 I've ever seen.
  19. not understanding. how would the shortening (with the exception of the saw kerf - which is easily remedied) take place? I really hope there's no scale arithmetic involved!
  20. don't the numbers leave grooves?
  21. a lot of time, "real" materials look artificial when used in a scale format.
