  1. Ok, here is it is. I. Am trying to find a quicker way to dry my paint on my car parts. I was rolling past the nail salon in wally World and saw this thing and a light bulb in my head went off. These people where sticking there hands in a lighted oven. This thing is a U/V light nail dryer. Can't we use these? I mean we do use those nail polishes out there. 1:1 scale paint shops us lights to cure our daily drivers.? So does anyone have any knowledge in this field ?

    Here is a link to one on amazon with a slide out tray one, sweet. Even our parts are easily put in and removed.if the link doesn't work type in search.... -uv nail dryer-

    Your help would be especially and gratefully appreciated.

  2. Ok ,I just spent the last hour looking at this build and I just like everyone else has been amazed,thrilled,and shocked at how darn impressive this build of yours is. Inspiration,love,and god only knows what is why we all love this hobby. It can be simple(snap) or experienced (lvl 3) but to be a museum piece is just out right crazy. Thank you for the opportunity to see this being built.

  3. Why not? It's not drinking or running around with women. As long as you're not taking food off your family table to buy kits, buy what you want, stash it until if and when you build it and just enjoy the hobby. It's not like model kits go bad. I have models mint in box back to the 1950s that are still just fine. And if it wasn't for the folks back then who stashed it and didn't build it, I wouldn't have it today. So if you must get over the guilt, you are storing kits for future generations of modelers. Later in life you can always sell them, or if you fall off your perch, your family can sell them.

    Amen brother I see the styrene gates to heaven !!!!!!!

  4. Check Hobby Lobby or Michael's if you've got one nearby. Michael's usually has the black flocking, and HL recently started carrying black embossing powder which is even better.

    This is the truth embossing powder is way better than any flocking. Easier to use and the end product is smoother than any fuzzy fur and the amount for the price is even better just use a 40% coupon go look in the scrapbooking section in the Martha Stewart section. But if you looking for that 70's shag style carpet then if you really really can't find black then like mikemodeler said do the white thing.

  5. Okay, here lets bring up an old subject. I have close to 200+ kits in my stash. I intend on building them all plus the new ones I will buy on my journey in the years ahead of me. At least that's what I think and I tell my wife, lol. But really the kits and the cars I like are always changing, so I will always be $$$$ buying and increasing my stash. That's just how it is since I can afford to buy my own hobbies like most adults can (or anyone with the means to support their addiction to plastic can ) and I enjoy creating something different and even making it my own at times.I remember when my stash was well over 800 just 6 yrs ago. When I moved I sold all but 100 and now I'm starting over, lol.so why do I stash, well cause I can. He he he

  6. ive been into rc for 22 years and it can cost if u get addicted but i say go to your lhs talk to them there and see what they carry and if u have a local track even better ask around and start off in electric learn to drive it and if you like it upgrade to better parts thats where it will cost you but its a great hobby and tones of fun and all kinds of cars trucks buggies and motorcycles. pm me if u want i am more than willing to help out . good luck

  7. I don't mean to threadjack you but, how did you do a screenshot of your iphone? I don't have wireless internet but use wifi on the iphone and this would be handy because michaels has this thing where they can read the coupon on your phone now. I could maybe copy it into photos.

    to do a screen shot press the circle button on the front and hold while and then press the top right button(only one on top) you should hear a camera shutter sound if done correct and then go look in you pics it will b there.

    hope that helps i do it for all my coupon(cheep) buys(michaels,hobby lobby, del taco) lol

    then u can show it to cashier and they can scan it if their smart enough.i have had a few that cant scan it but they read the coupon #.
