good links Ted; thanks

telling the scale you're working in will help the guy with the correct answer (not me!)

in tact, i put a stereo system in a nova wagon with an ear plug. i had to crank the transistor to hear anything, but it worked. this was back in '64.

huh?

great link; thanks

ahem ...

why do i have to give my phone number on the subscription order?

resin is generally thicker than styrene. may influence your choice, but often there is only a resin body available for specific vehicles. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/R/resintips.pdf http://reviews.ebay.com/Working-with-Resin-Model-Kits?ugid=10000000002768635 http://armorcast.com/Armorgeddon/index.php?topic=16.0 http://armorcast.com/Armorgeddon/index.php?topic=16.0 these are just some general information sites from a "dogpile" search

fantastic job. Q: where did you source the plastic. was it available in small quantities? thanks

maybe dremel cut off wheel and a Very steady hand!

i used to collect model railroading magazines from the 40's & 50's. there were great articles about men who built scale steam engines from brass in little apartments on their kitchen tables. a hobby is supposed to be a pleasureable pastime, not a second job. if you're looking at it as an obligation, maybe it's time to take a break or try something different. and it's not about how much $$$ can be spent on aftermarket goodies, but imagination & innovation. see it in your mind, and find a way to make it come alive.

thanks for the pictures and link on the blue roadster

Bernard, any pictures of the little blue roadster in your signature? thanks

i am going to sign up for the express purpose of convincing the casters to market a NAPCO set of running gear to convert early 50's trucks to 4 WD. anybody with me?

have you registered for military service yet?

i'm glad i'm a modeler instead of a gardener!

don't overwhelm him. save the tricks for the next one and the one after that. and let him discover things on his own.

ah, ahh, ahh - choooo!

not even going to ask how you remember that!
