I never picked up the habit. The only time I ever smoked at all was a couple of clove cigarettes around some of my friends, but that wasn't a common thing. The best anti-smoking information came from my dad. He's ex-military, smoked most of his adult life. He told me once if he ever caught me with a cigarette in my mouth, he'd kill me. I believe that.

It also depends on if the pads and pathways are still attached to the board. If it got too hot, they'll pull off as soon as they're unsoldered. It's hard to tell what the value of that resistor is since it's so damaged. Maybe if you know the exact model of the rotary tool, we can find a schematic that will tell us what it is.

Very nice job on both of these kits.

I like where you're going with this. Keep the rear engine.

Very nice! I want to get one of these so I can build my old 72 Skylark Custom.

Can't get into this. It's like the "car pelts" that someone was doing there for a while. A whole car is beautiful, even an old rusted POS. There's nothing that really does anything for me in this.

Been wondering why no one was adding anything on there in a while. It's a shame, they had a nice forum. Sorry to hear this.

Magazine.

NICE!! Major improvement over the original.

Looking good so far. That was a pretty decent kit if I remember correctly.

Lindberg/Model King Triumph GT6+. Got it for about $13.50 before shipping.

I was hoping someone would do this kit and correct the suspension. looking good so far!

Questionnaire Please answer the following questions in your own words: 1. What is a model kit? A collection of parts including instructions that allow someone with the proper skills to make a pre-sculpted representation of an object. Can represent people, vehicles, animals, weapons, etc. 2. What activities (e.g. painting, sanding, burnishing) do you associate with modelling? painting, sanding, correcting errors (both from the kit or my own), assembly, applying metallic foils, sometimes designing new assemblies... 3. Do you follow instructions when building a model? Typically, but not always, and almost never in the sequence they are depicted. 4. How skilled are you at modelling? Moderate to high, depending on the subject. It's ALWAYS a learning process. 5. What are kit conversions? Have you ever done a kit conversion? Kit conversions are either supplemental pieces (either home made or purchased from a vendor) that change the nature of the kit. Haven't done one yet, but I'm willing. Does PE emblems count? If so, then yes. 6. What is kitbashing? Have you ever kitbashed? Kit-bashing is taking two or more kits, plus home made parts sometimes, to make something different than any of the original kits. I think almost all of the kits I've done so far have been a least a little kit-bashed, from changing the wheels and tires to something more realistic to a full on engine and chassis conversion. Still need to post my Monte Carlo... 7. What is the object of model-making? What is the end product? The object of model building? I think that's entirely subjective. For me, the object is just relaxation, enjoyment of the community, making things with my own hands... The end product? Usually something I'm proud to show off (once in a while something I kinda hide if I screw up too bad).

Nice! I've got one of those kinds of compasses around the house. I'll have to get cracking.

Gonna have to get this one. Thanks for the pics!

Not all of their kits were crude. Some of them were barely above promos, but then there were ones like the full detail Chrysler Turbine. There's nothing crude about that kit. It's as detailed and fiddly as any that are out there now.

Nice flame job!!

My answer's gotta be a late 70's Plymouth Volare. I had one that had been a little old lady's car. Right after I got it, the exhaust system snapped on its own while parked when I met my parents for dinner. While the slant-6 itself was indestructible, everything around it was trash. I know at one point the carburetor started coming apart, causing it to stall whenever it would come to a stop.

Very nice look. Good work so far!

I'm a regular Ebayer, but I've only had one issue since I've been a member. I've recently learned it's cheaper sometimes to get small lots of kits than just getting a single one.

Very nice work so far! Keep it up!

I found this for the 64. Would it be close? http://www.public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/amt-2/amt-64-imperial-har/

Personally I can't wait to get a 3D printer. I've got a background in CAD and have worked with 3D modelling before. Parts would be a lot easier to make than scratchbuilding from styrene.

Got a pre-built Monogram Lamborghini Countach. surprisingly not glue bombed. I just got it in yesterday, and it's already completely apart. nothing broken and the clear pieces are in good shape. All I gotta do is build a new tail light panel, which should be pretty easy.

The slots look really good on this. Kinda gives me an "American Graffiti" feel.
