  1. the question was ,, what would you use if bare metal foil was no longer available
  2. they will contact you by phone and/or email with further questions if you place ,, that's how they did it last time. I was contacted by revell and by stacy david. I used an unopened kit I already had, and they were cool with it. also they will ask you about shirt size..ect if necessary
  3. since there is such a divide between rust/weathering liker's and haters... all the more reason to give it ,it's own segment. I'm happy the way things are but they could always be better
  4. Harry , Donn's method works very well... you won't be disappointed than you can turn to your co workers and say.... " I did that ! "
  5. cheap aluminum foil ,, the cheaper the better
  6. great story and build !
  7. I had to on my amt camaro , the combined warpage required some clamps and epoxy just to get all 4 wheels to touch.
  8. nice tip! great photos too !
  9. when I was young stationed in Germany , I worked for the corp of engineers in the summers. They had a couple all wheel steering unimog's .. I have always wanted one.
  10. Doc , the grey appliance on your small work table ? is it a dryer , or small filter?
  11. Happy big 5-0 Doc !
  12. also check for moisture in the line. it's really good paint
  13. all very nice hobby rooms , and so clean and organized !
  14. Mine just turned 2 and he is fascinated with cars .. he wants to get in any car and stand behind the steering wheel, and change all the knobs and levers. every time he is at the house he wants to play in the cars than he will ball whenever you try to take him out of the car His two favorite things are cars(all sizes) and spiderman he's still to young to assemble a snap model yet, he just wants to play with them or the parts, or put spiderman in it
  15. what is the large black hose that's attached to the frame ? looks live it's connected to the valve cover ?
  16. Dave, I use the exactos and scalpel blades equally,, the scalpel blades are fine for most things but if you are going to exert much pressure better to switch to the exacto.
  17. this is the orange amt kit
  18. lube it , it's crucial with the badgers .. it will help keep paint from crusting on the needle and tearing up the seal when you remove it .. lube the whole trigger assembly and the needle spring assembly also.
  19. each Michaels store is run somewhat as it's own entity,I asked the local manager why they didn't have what other stores had and that is what she told me. so I emailed Michaels to ask about it and they told me basically the same thing ... the manager controls a lot of the ordering and stock
  20. ditto 100 blades for $16,, they are scary sharp
  21. I figure,doc is the only guy in florida that even owns something like that
  22. killer detail , ! may I say that unless it gets a nut on the backside ,, it's a screw ...not a bolt. hence the term "bolting" something together" vs tightening a "screw" . if it goes into a threaded hole ...it's a screw(unless it doesn't have a head ,, than it's a stud) everyone seems to call everything a "bolt" on this forum regardless ,, I want one !
  23. I have worked in my undies if it's really early ... Doc, does that jumper have the hatch in the back ?
  24. those hid lights are nice ,, sadly not legal in my neck of the woods
