  1. This is great. IMO you need more time between pictures to study each one before it switches. It is just to fast for me. Looking forward to more comparisons Mike
  2. I had the same problem . I bought one of those large refill bottles. When it was about half empty I pulled the tip out of all the pens and poured it into the refill bottle. The tip on the refill bottle is small and comes out drip by drip. Some masking tape and a steady hand I can do all of the chrome with a brush. Mike
  3. I had a 1973 Vega GT. Red, black stripes, white raised letter tires and a 4 speed. I LUVED that car. Fun to drive with the 4 speed. No engine problems I traded in for a 1976 Buick Regal. When I was growing up once you paid off your car it was time to buy a new one. Mike
  4. For as long as I can remember every time we need to change the clocks. This discussion takes place. I do understand the pros and cons. Come on it is only 1 hour. I am in favor of anyone of the permanent time changes. Mike
  5. As always a great build Mike
  6. If you go to USCP Face Book you can get a first hand account of what those PROUD people are going through. Mike
  7. My local Hobby Lobby just started to get Mr. Hobby products. It works very well. You know you when you melt plastic with thinner. It is sort of like that. Mike
  8. Some one here recommended this. I use it all the time. Golden Acrylic Retarder - 4 oz bottle | BLICK Art Materials (dickblick.com)
  9. As they are a part of the World Wide modeling community they and their fellow citizens need our support. Mike (3) USCP-Ukrainian Scale Car Production | Facebook
  10. No. But I have a can of Chrome that I try
  11. Mustang GT4 Book Matched FULL CARBON JACKET – Scale Motorsport
  12. Molotov is fragile so I decided to put the parts into my dehydrator. If it can dry out Testors Enamel it just might work on Molotov. It works Mike
  13. The blue and white one is going to auction https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/insanely-rare-toyota-shelby-2000gt-crossing-auction-block-in-march/ar-AATuaa4
  14. Intake: Classic Recreations has crafted the lightest Shelby Cobra body ever made. Made of carbon fiber, the entire shell, including hood and doors, weighs just 88 lbs. Uniquely, the carbon structure is so stiff this Cobra doesn’t require a tubular chassis like its predecessors, and will “rival current supercars in weight and horsepower” according Shelby American. Carbon fiber tackles the first part while the second is covered by a supercharged Ford Performance Gen 3 Coyote engine generating more than 800 hp. A T56 Magnum Tremec transmission and Wilwood six-piston brakes are fitted. Dubbed the Diamond Edition to celebrate 60 years of Shelby American, it is officially licensed, will get CSX serial numbers, and be built by a new special division at Classic Recreations. Only ten will be made, priced at $1.2 million apiece.
  15. Do you know what this unrestored machine would sell for? I am just gonna clean it up. Just curious I would never sell it. That maybe antique dust on it !! Mike
  16. My Grand Mother was the last one to touch those pins !!!
  17. I have the same one. Thanks Grandma
  18. Stay Strong.
  19. Welcome back Tulio Mike
  20. As of 2/18/22 I am RETIRED !!!!!!. Plans? I got lots of them. I am in perfect health so that is a wonderful thing. I think that good drugs, Heavy Metal music, and BAD girls (good girls are no fun) are why I am in good health. LOL I have not posted many of my builds because I didn't take the time to photograph them. Now I can set a side one day a week just to photograph. Get my bicycle tuned up and enjoy the rest of my life. So now I am in The Old Geezer Club and looking forward to be more active in this wonderfull community. Thanks Mike
  21. We also watched Bosch . Good Stuff. I know that there is the Lincoln Lawyer movie. I was hoping that Bosch and Mickey Haller would team up for an episode.
