I really never log out of the forum. Does this skew any data? Just curious.

Sorry to hear about this Dean. Loss of a loved one is always hard to take. Take care.

One thing about using these type putties(there are several like this) You have plenty of time to mix/knead them. I usually roll a chunk of each into a ball and then compare the size. If your going to err, err on the side of the hardener. I then roll out each ball into a string and mix together. I wear gloves and then roll into a ball and then into a string again. I spend about 5 to 10 minutes mixing.

Neat Stuff!! Like he cuda wagon. Didn't get thru all of them though!

I don't have the decal in front of me right now, but I thought Slixx has the lettering separate and it will do either the '68 or "69 by painting the blue or red colors. You make the choice. I was not aware he campaigned an SS Dart though.

I think this is where you write a book and tell people "How to make $9000.00 in 8 weeks" and then sell the book.

No No Danno ... It's YOU GO! SHOWGURL!!

my pick would be #3. The compressor looks like a KO of the Iwata I have. There are no pulses with the filter/regulator as pictured. That compressor is very quiet and smooth running, they appear to be oil filled, so keep an eye on the level. The airbrushes included are a good mix. Don't worry about double action a most can be set/adjusted to open the paint quantity and then it's just press down or pull the trigger. Good Luck !

Compressors are the least of the expense these days. I recently saw a small pancake type tank unit at HF for 39.99!! I've also picked up some decent airbrushes (paasche VL and a badger 100 and no name for about $40.00 TOTAL!!.) I disassembled them and cleaned them and they shoot fine. This was at Ultimate Consignment.

I like this concept, especially since I have a 1/12th Shelby mustang with a cracked roof !

I picked up one Friday( local hobby shop had 13% off deal on all purchases). I'm doing it as a custom because I want to try some nail polish for paint.

Maintenance person, machinist, mechanic etc. for industrial facilities. Started repairing/maintaining machines that made aerosol spray valves. Went on to food packaging (Best Foods/CPC) and 3M in the medical/surgical division, 20 years with them. Other companies I worked for over the years: Papermate Pen (owned by Gillette at the time) Fresh Express (bagged salads & cut vegetables) And a couple of plastic molding firms.

Your gonna make donks from both?

X2! The Futura is always great! A full detail kit is long overdue.

Testor's makes a sprayer that fits on the top of an air can. It allows you to use any paint. It does take some finesse as heating the can is essential, and don't shake the can as propellant will spurt out with your paint. I've used etching primers (Dupont Vari_prime) and never had any plastic damage, even on bare plastic. I don't regard Rustoleum and Krylon as model safe paints. Too many problems reported here and on other forums, yet many people regard it as their go to spray. As usual, test on spoons AND some plastic from the various kits. There's no way of knowing how much reground plastic is going into models. Good Luck!!

Excellent idea. I remember Ed Roth building a car body in Car Modeler (the old one ) many years ago.

Very nice and cutting diecast is quite the challenge. I saw the Under Glass too and the build finished very sharp! But...what is Oak Tag?

Always good to see anything your working on Peter, But only 5 or 6 projects underway?

Great! I have some very fine veneers that I'd like to try out on it.

I have an itch to build almost all genres, but for now am sticking to automotive.

Awesome build!! How does one identify a super kit by Tameo? Is that the Silver Line series?

I think my limited ability to reply here has become an asset

WOW! one heck of a Porsche collection! Thanks also for the info on the various kits.

What will happen when the technology advances where the electric car becomes a self generating "Solar Generator". The theory is that the car will almost always be fully charged and when plugged into the "grid" will actually feedback to the grid. Will be people be asking electric car owners to "plug in here"

That's the REAL tragedy here,
