You can mail it via surface mail. Aerosol Paint Products. Aerosol paint products that are defined as flammable compressed gases are acceptable in the domestic mail via surface transportation only if they can qualify as ORM–D materials and meet the quantity limitations and applicable packaging requirements in 342.3, 342.4, and DMM 601.10.12. A single can of spray paint qualifies under both ORM-D and limited quantities. You need go to your post office and see exactly how they want it packaged and labeled, but the general gist is it has to be inside a sealed plastic or metal container that would capture the entire contents of the can if it somehow discharged in transit.

Was it that ugly blue Wienee Wagon?

If it wasn't stolen it's around a sort center somewhere. Buffalo is less than 500 miles from Philly, so that package was never involved with an airplane transfer. Not sure this was asked yet, but has the recipient ever gone to THEIR local Post Office and asked for the package? Could be a simple case of having a substitute route delivery person attempt to make delivery and then not leave the "You have mail" yellow card, and that poor box has been languishing down at the post office for weeks. I know around here my normal postal lady will not just leave a package on a stoop. Unlike my UPS driver who doesn't even knock on the door, and leaves boxes in random places (sometimes on the front porch, sometimes on the side, sometimes in the garage...)

I gotta have cars for the hauler...which is a mutant plan for a diorama depending on how into the idea I get.

Most contest I have gone to in the past (when I lived in Ohio) and now (that I'm in PA) have a Box Stock Class. The exception being the Olde Potbelly Gang's Show, which is a total People's Choice award system. No sense in having one there since no one is individually judging things. Remember that just because you built it for Box Stock/OOB doesn't mean you can't enter it in a different category it fits into, if you like your chances better in the other class.

Count me in with this car hauling hot shot rig.

Nice job all the way around!

Kevin...right click on the picture in your FB alblum, then select "View Image Info". That will bring up a new window and copy the image link (ends with .jpg) and then post onto MCM via the IMG tags...viola!

The B-M Chevelle I got with my 50% Mikey's coupon, the other stuff is my haul from the Olde Potbelly Gang's show in Pittsburgh today. Last local show till March 2011, I am now appropriately stocked up.

Zero, Nada, Nil, El Zippo!! But I hope to have 1-3 done by the end of the year. We have a nice week of clear mid-60's weather coming up for outdoor painting.

This is the one I have...actually I have two of them as I thought I had lost the original one when everything went into storage. http://www.micromark.com/MICRO-MESH-FINISHING-KIT,7601.html

It was Halloween and yesterday (10/31 & 11/1)...found out by accident by looking at the online circular.

There was a 2-Day "Halloween" 50% off sale at Michael's, so I snuck over to get my requisite $10 model kit Best part I got another 50% coupon with my receipt...so I guess I will make another trip over next weekend too.

Go over to www.policecarmodels.com they'll have the decals you need. They also have a 1:27 diecast '08 Tahoe from Welly. http://policecarmodels.com/we120chtapos.html

Why was your thread involved in a tragic kiln explosion? Alright to stop being ya know, and be helpful...I don't think anything here has ever been deleted other than those threads that get a little too lively. Go out to the main page for General (or wherever the thread was originally posted) and scroll down to the bottom and you'll see a little link that says "Click here to show filter options". Click on that, then a box will appear with a sort function, select the first drop down box that says "Show Type" and select "Topics: I Started" then hit the "Go" button. The General forum will then reload with only topics you personally created, and I'm sure all the information you're looking for is sitting there all lonely awaiting your return.

I've found that if I just turn on my tap all the way on hot till is starts steaming, it gets plenty warm to do the job. As someone who once boiled the water out of a pot I was going to make Mac N Cheese with I hesitate recommending actually leaving something on a stove. I have a little tupper-ware wanna-be container that's about as deep as a standard Testors can, and about twice as round. Put the can in the hot water and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes (or until the can is warm), then shake it up and head outside. The one thing I hate dealing with is the smell of Testors enamel primer...that stuff stinks for a week (or until you paint over it).

There wasn't exactly much from Round 2 that interested me other than the reissue of 1965 Chevelle Station Wagon. Anxiously awaiting all 3 Moebius kits... From Revell I'm looking forward to the previously announced 2010 Mustang and... 2010 Camaro SS '69 COPO Nova '62 Impala SS Ferrari 458 Italia Ferrari California Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Remember that the iHobby releases only cover 1st & 2nd Quarters of 2011. There's a whole nother half year of goodness yet to come. Wouldn't be surprised to see several more Mustang issues upcoming including a 2011 GT with the correct 5.0 engine, maybe the GT-500, the new BOSS 302...lotta options there. Also be interested to see if they issue a Camaro Convertible, and/or do anything with the ZR-1 tooling (a Z06, Grand Sport, or convertible since the last set of Vette issues are 5-6 model years old).

Reminds me of the time I had to strip the hood on a '62 Belair 409 kit 5 times before the paint would stop acting all wonky around the top edge. It was like crazing, except no actual damage was done. But you hung in there and got it done finally, and that's the most important part. I too have one of the '63 Ford kits sitting around, be interested to see what you do with yours.

Found this at Wal*Mart today for $9.99...was looking for a Diplomat, but this will suffice. Haven't taken it apart to see how much work it needs yet...

Well March 10th will be my first wedding anniversary, but our actual "getting together" deal is in the summer on July 9th (which is easy to remember since it's the day before my birthday), and for that one it'll be 6 years.

Ahh another 6 months...good they'll be a full THREE years overdue by then. Now that the body style has changed...

Can't be THAT much, there is that new Revell (via RoG) Audi R8.

Paint can turn into a Chevy vs. Ford vs. Dodge style debate. People have their preferences and they stick to them. I myself prefer Tamiya acrylics as the both cover well and are water based, and hence can be cleaned up with water. If I'm going into Testors paint for a specific color, I again prefer acrylics for the clean-up aspect. I hate dealing with paint thinner, but for some colors (Chrysler Engine Red for example) they only offer it in enamels. But as Junkman said you'll have to experiment and find the combination that work best for you. I was an OTR driver for 12+ years, and paint thinner hangs out in the sleeper all day...just sayin' Testors "rattle can" primer works just fine in both it's enamel and lacquer variations. Just remember don't cross the streams, especially lacquer over enamel primers. A lot of people around here swear by Tamiya primers, but I too have a hard time finding them. I would also suggest a polishing kit, I have one from Micro-Mesh. Includes sandpaper on a flexible backing from 2400 to 12000 grits for block wet-sending your paint. That can correct a lot of small paint mistakes and generally take overall paint from meh to Oooooo. I got mine from Micro-Mark (which has all sorts of paycheck draining tools to choose from), it's $24.95 in the current catalog (and you can order online).

Came back from the Post Office after finding my latest bargain basement eBay deal. I've taken the shrink off it to check the parts inside, but factory sealed kit for $3.61!!! With S&H is was under $10...can't be that with a X-Acto.
