  1. I have the painting dvd , it's great I wish I could get more detail on the Don Yost model Construction 2 disc set ,,.. all I know that it covers is bare metal foil ,sanding tires and swapping motors, but is it mostly aftermarket parts driven or does it teach some scratch building techniques? at 4hrs I wish there was an index to see. or does it include the painting tutorals also ?
  2. I have reactions/sensitivity to epoxy,, spending many years building High power rockets.. not wearing a mask or the right gloves while applying fiberglass and sanding. in an enclosed garage.it built up in my system over time . In the beginning ,It didn't bother me so I figured why bother.I must be immune to it what I didn't realize is these chemicals accumulate in your system, and it's that accumulation that will get you. now I know better. so for anyone that might think "it doesn't bother me when I paint without a mask or gloves" eventually it will build up in your system, and it never goes away. I can hardly be in the same room with the industrial epoxys without breaking out , turning red and itchy and feeling prickly all over..And it will always be that way. I just happen to be more susceptible to it.. and it had an impact on the hobby for me. once you build an allergy, there's nothing you can do about it
  3. very nice tho I see a number of things that surprise me would warrant a "cover car" Just being honest and far for me to critique a far better builder than me It may be I take "cover car " to mean more than expected. it's very nice no doubt ! but certain things stick out to me .that's all I dare to say
  4. I can appreciate what you put up with Mr. P there is never a need to start bashing a moderator anyway. sometimes people forget that being on a forum is a privilege not a right to act out, it's not public property if a person walked into a public bar and started causing trouble , they will be asked to cool it or leave. it's no different in a forum.

  9. it's a good AB , been around since the 20's and arguably still one of the best selling A/B's of all time, H.R Giger even used one, among many other famous artists
