  1. Isn't it convenient for a lot of people,the grocery cart doubles as a walker.
  2. What is Kabuki syndrome? Kabuki syndrome is a disorder that affects many parts of the body. It is characterized by distinctive facial features including arched eyebrows; long eyelashes; long openings of the eyelids (long palpebral fissures) with the lower lids turned out (everted) at the outside edges; a flat, broadened tip of the nose; and large protruding earlobes. The name of this disorder comes from the resemblance of its characteristic facial appearance to stage makeup used in traditional Japanese theater called Kabuki. People with Kabuki syndrome have developmental delay and intellectual disability that range from mild to severe. Affected individuals may also have seizures, an unusually small head size (microcephaly), or weak muscle tone (hypotonia). Some have eye problems such as rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) or eyes that do not look in the same direction (strabismus). Other characteristic features of Kabuki syndrome include short stature and skeletal abnormalities such as abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine (scoliosis), short fifth fingers, or problems with the hip and knee joints. The roof of the mouth may have an abnormal opening (cleft palate) or be high and arched, and dental problems are common in affected individuals. People with Kabuki syndrome may also have fingerprints with unusual features and fleshy pads at the tips of the fingers. These prominent finger pads are called fetal finger pads because they normally occur in human fetuses; in most people they disappear before birth. A wide variety of other health problems occur in some people with Kabuki syndrome. Among the most commonly reported are heart abnormalities, frequent ear infections (otitis media), hearing loss, and early puberty.
  3. It's an acrylic lacquer just like Dupli-color.
  4. Great looking car.From the wheels to the color.
  5. It's amazing the volume of information that comes out after the tragedy of this shooting about the perps.Even worse yet,it most likely could have been prevented.
  6. Hi Mike, In addition to your modeling skills,your pictures of the progress you are making are great.Putting what you are working as the main focus of the pic.
  7. Thanks,Bill. Will you and the gang be showing up for the NNL Nats in Oct?
  8. This might not answer your question,sometimes I will put a dab of Elmer's glue at the glue joint.Then you can paint the part,pop off the glue.You have a clean surface you can plastic glue together with minimal paint touch-up.
  9. What is the reasoning you came up with to determine I have an attitude just from asking a question.
  10. As a charitable non-profit institution,how come the Model Car Museum is only open 3 days every 2 years?
  11. A big Thank you for the Tri-State Model Club for putting on another memorable and fun show.
  12. If you lived in CT,Lowes has a 5 gallon one for 43 bucks.
  13. I know you would rather have the product instead of a refund.If that isn't possible,I would not hesitate to contact the mail fraud service the USPS offers.It seems you have been more than patient with this person.
  14. Welcome, Chris
  15. Welcome to the board,Deb. Nice looking Vette.
  16. I would suggest a primer underneath.
  17. The subject of the video was great.I could have enjoyed it more if there wasn't the unrelated background music.What's wrong with producing just a video?
  18. Refers to the model as Grumpy's Toy. He's not a modeler,just an assembler and not a very good one at that.
  19. I have,it's not as fast as some other methods,but it works.Remember to sand down to the primer in a few spots on the body to give the stripper a head start to do it's job.I have found out it doesn't remove black lacquer primer.
  20. The rear fenders are separate.
  21. Yes,please let us know.Did you use a torch or an iron? What type of flux and solder?
  22. In Model Cars Magazine issue #180 there is a 6 page tutorial on soldering by Charles Rowley.
