  1. I am curious how one can give an assessment of something that they have never used or seen for themselves......
  2. I want to make sure I am fully understanding you correctly, you are complaining about Ebay changing a feature that you did not use for the intended purpose , but for other reason's ?
  3. This guy right here gets it.
  4. Out here our Hobby Lobby's blow away the Michael's when it comes to what they stock model wise, Michaels out here, at least all the ones in my area are a complete a joke.
  5. Remember, there is no more Revell USA, its Just Revell now, the old distinction of Revell US/Revell AG is gone , and everything is coming from Germany now.
  6. I get why Google is doing it, but I wont be doing it to my website, I dont process payments through my website, its all handled in person or through payment processing websites, and very little person information is submitted, so I dont really feel SSL is a good use of money .
  7. I use SEM Promax Chassis Grey, it was at one time what the teams used, maybe some still do, I dont know, but you need a very light gray as Bruce said. NASCAR actually mandates the chassis be of light color for safety, they say its easier to spot cracks in the welds and other areas with the lighter colors.
  8. Its a good kit, you will enjoy building it, and thank you Awesome, I hope you were able to get something useful from it and can apply that to your own builds. I am very much impressed with Blaney, he is my favorite of the young drivers right now. Thank you
  9. Thanks Jim for mentioning the right paint to use.
  10. Its very old tooling, it was more the kit than you, it requires a ton of skill and patients and restraint to not throw it across the room, I bought two of the reissues, and after building one, I dont think I want to build the second one in this lifetime.
  11. 1. This kit is not made by Tamiya, its made Hasegawa 2. Many dont share your opinion of "yawn" Carry on.
  12. Here we have Ryan Blaney's Ford Fusion for the 2018 year, this more of a presentation car, to build this accurate using the decals some mods needed to be made on the body to make a plate track car, I was lazy and chose not to do that. Scalefinishes provided the paint, it is HOK Chartreuse Neon Yellow, this is about as accurate as one can get, I had a hard time capturing the green tint, but its there. Decals from Powerslide.
  13. Kevin Harvicks Freaky Fast Fusion, Powerslide decals, I dont want to talk about this one.
  14. Right, got some advice to post that might help the builder out, sure, go for it, but posting a photo of your completed model is nothing but trying to show someone up.
  15. Right now, at the top of my list, and this really applies to Facebook is people posting photos of their work or completed model that is similar to the one you are working on, I REALLY DISLIKE that, and it comes being an attention seeking I dont think I can type the word and use it. Example, I post a photo of a painted body, attention seeking person comes along and has to post a photo of his completed model ( and not the first time )
  16. Couple of months behind, but lets take a look at the new kit from Beemax
  17. A few more options to get the correct shade for this one House Of Kolor Neon Chartreuse, in the 2oz hobby bottle, you can them on Ebay, I just order one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/House-Of-Kolor-Neon-Chartreuse-HE113/263445219971?hash=item3d568f0a83:g:nuQAAOSwYDZaYM-F Pactra fluorescent yellow( it has a green tint to it) Tamiya Neon Yellow, I believe its PS27, Ive heard it has a green tint to it as well. MCW Paints has Menard's Yellow
  18. I agree, PB was easier to use than most of the hosting sites, Flickr makes doing anything tedious , the one thing that I like about Flickr is the image size options for when you post the photos on a forum, that cut out the middle man of resizing before uploading. Imgur isnt bad , using that one too.
