  1. If FatBoyKustoms' insomnia gets resolved, then at least one member will.
  2. Foiling definitely requires patience and a steady hand, but it sure is the icing on the cake when it's done and you're doing a bang up job.
  3. Yes, really nicely shot. Thanks for the effort to share.
  4. Wonderful. It rings true. Just curious what your preferred weathering technique is?
  5. Unbelievable decal work. I love the resourcefulness and delicate cutting skill.
  6. As a kid I couldn't have cared less about the boring technicals. I was all about how they looked... Until the parts names went away. Talk about not appreciating what you have until they're gone.
  7. No worse than engines in the back seat. As long as you can't tell driving down the street.
  8. And some wonder why impeccable examples of stock originals are vanishing and skyrocketing in price.
  9. I've been wanting to model my 1:1 Kammback of 30-years (currently sitting in a farm yard) but I can't get past the stubby body of the F/C and don't have the ambition to correct it. Do you have any thoughts about lengthening behind the doors?
  10. Me thinks a detailed tutorial is in order.
  11. These are the desk lamps at my model bench. More than one light source adds a lot. The small torch I use selectively to add interest or bring out a highlight, but not so strong that it looks like a spot. All of photography is about managing light. Without it, subject or composition won't matter.
  12. Oooooo that's a good one. For modern engines, i've discovered the the Revell Audi R8 V10 has been a pleasant surprise.
  13. I like the solid roof and solid front air dam of the Bad Actor that I have half built. But aesthetically, I prefer the squared wheel opening and quad headlights of Street Fighter/Quicksilver.
  14. Toothpicks, bamboo skewers (100-pack $1 at the dollar store), coffee stir sticks, super glue and styrofoam mounting base.
  15. Glad you reposted it. I missed it the first time and sorry I did. This looks great.
  16. Earthtone pastels are good because you get a variety of colors. There are many brands that any art supply store might carry. There are smaller, cheaper packs but they don't include black and/or gray which I think is important for mixing.
  17. I haven't posted much but I'm enjoying what I see here every day. I worked on hinging the PT Cruiser tailgate last night. It soon became clear this is more challenging than hinging a door or trunk lid.
  18. Wildly imaginative, delightful personality. Quite the vision to lay all this out in your head. An excellent display of your modeling skills too. (I enjoyed the WIP).
  19. I laughed so hard. I love jokes that don't go where you expect.
  20. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=97159#entry1328809
  21. The heck with you and your health, you're breathing aren't you? I demand our weekly puzzles! Joking of course. Our little games are of little concern until you're ready to entertain the gang again. Take as much time as you need.
  22. I've used white glue, and while it adheres adequately for temporary use, I don't nearly have the patience to wait for it to dry before I can let go. So I'll be watching this thread.
  23. Jeez Harry, three days in a hospital these days is no small matter. I hope all's well. Kinda makes our little game here not very important but I appreciate your efforts anyway. Stay well bra.
  24. I sure like the models you bring to this forum and this is no exception. I'm guessing the black didn't turn out like you'd hoped but I give you high marks for the courage to try. An excellent, progressive, technical model.
