Great deal for cheap sand paper (Fine Grit)

The Monte Carlo is nice. I did a grille wash with The Detailer on mine before it went in my case at work. Strangely, it works much better for me on diecasts than on plastic kits.

Possible eBay listing value help needed
Rodent replied to DPNM's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I find a box to ship the item in, pack it, measure it, and weigh it. I plug that info into the eBay shipping calculator and it tells the buyer what it will cost for shipping. As a seller, you get a small discount, but I am not ashamed of that. I have to buy bubble wrap, tape, paper and ink to print labels, gasoline to make a special trip to the Post Office, and some shipping boxes and envelopes that I had to buy. I cry a little inside when I put a kit on eBay and see what the buyer will have to pay for shipping, but I can't control what USPS charges. I sold a large scale kit a while back and the shipping was around $90. Was an odd size box, and it cost me $12 for a shipping box that I had to modify to ship the kit in. In all, do your homework and be an honest seller. I have had two flakey buyers that eventually paid, but I immediately blocked them from ever bidding on any of my stuff ever again. -
Yup, I think you are right. I picked one up at a show a bunch of years ago. The interior had some purple paint on it, so I stripped it. How it wound up on top of something on my bench, I have no clue. I need to dig out the kit and put the platform back in the box. Thanks guys!

Found it on the bench yesterday. Looks like it may have had a swim in the purple pond at some point. I have no clue what it is from. I know that one of y'all sneaked in and put it there just to mess with me.

Yeah. The population is still growing, just not at the historic rate. I am smart enough to do the math that Kevin suggests, and solar isn't for me because of several things. The last bill was $140, and that was with constant AC usage. The house faces south and would be perfect if it wasn't for the 40 year old tree shading the front ? Solar City did a lot of installations around here on lease before Crazy Elon bought it from his crooked cousins.

I have been in Arizona during monsoon season, and it is comparable with what I have seen in Thailand, India, and the end of a US hurricane that bounced off of the south end of Ireland when I was there. Ain't always dry in Arizona!

It looks like a cool kit, but I don't see a Sprinter as a tow truck. The website shows 7430 lbs as maximum payload for a chassis cab. After the rollback bed is added, it certainly wouldn't be able to move a very large vehicle, at least what we see in the US. Sorry, can't tow your Tahoe, but I can tow your Equinox! I would pick another bed option for a US vehicle.

Any idea how to "tint" windows
Rodent replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
And more easily get air bubbles out from underneath. I have installed a few 1:1 Lamin-X bumper protectors and the thin film of water is definitely helpful. But only use 1/25 as much water on the windshield tint. ? -

More Civilised Debate On This Forum
Rodent replied to Bugatti Fan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
A 1:1 forum I used to visit put up a pay wall some months ago. I don't go there anymore and I don't miss it. I don't have room for a magazine collection, but I think i would subscribe to a digital format of MCM, depending on the cost. I have never subscribed to MCM, but I used to buy it at an LHS or Barnes and Noble. After I read it, I put it in the break room at work for others to enjoy. -
Crazy prices on the auction Bay.
Rodent replied to GMP440's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
LOL. I paid $175 for the 1:1 in question. It was a diamond in the rough. It had been in a glancing head on collision that tore up some sheet metal and suspension, but had no structural damage. -
What did you see on the road today?
Rodent replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Friday I saw a red 60 Impala convertible with a white top and a blue 69 Super Bee sharing transporter space with a very mundane silver Corolla. No pics unless I look on my dash cam. -
Crazy prices on the auction Bay.
Rodent replied to GMP440's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I recently found a kit on the 'bay that interested me and it had nostalga factor. The buy it now was more than the kit was worth to me, so I made an offer. Seller countered with a number that was still more than the kit was worth to me. I declined the counter and am not upset that I won't be building the kit I got for my 11th birthday from my godmother again. I will find another or I won't. Someone else will pay the asking price I am sure. A few years ago I was pursuing an AMT kit on the 'bay that I wanted so I could build a replica of a 1:1 that I had long ago. When the bidding for the kit reached double what I paid for the 1:1 version I realized that having a model of a car that I really didn't like that much was a dumb idea. I bought a resin that I can modify into something very close instead. -
