Welcome aboard, Joe... but please add your full name to your signature line. (How to on the "My Controls" page). That's how we roll here. At least, that's how we're supposed to roll...

This is an ongoing deal.

If 1/4" = 1 foot, then it's 1/48 scale.

Wire is definitely the way to go. Hobby Lobby has it in many colors, including "chrome" silver... it's meant for stringing beaded necklaces and such. I used red wire to create the bead around the shifter in this photo: The silver wire should be just the thing for the seat detail.

How about this odd looking thing? Real or model? The answer: MODEL!

If I threw my Sham-Wow into the washer and added some OxiClean... would that throw the Earth off its axis? Cuz if so, I won't do it...

If I was the Sham-Wow guy I'd be nervous right now...

With all the sad news lately about celebrities dropping like flies, it's nice to see that today we have seven members celebrating a birthday! Happy B-day to all...

Walter Cronkite is near death??? I didn't know that, hadn't heard anything.

I smell lawsuit...

We're trying to do the guy a favor here, by pointing out that for the cost of several cans of air he could have bought a compressor that comes with unlimited air. Maybe he doesn't realize how inexpensive a compressor can be, so I think we might have done him a favor by pointing that out. And if he already knows how inexpensive one can be, then no harm done... right? If the advice isn't needed, just ignore it. Nobody's trying to "derail" his thread.

Oxi-Clean overdose?

What if Eva Longoria married Tom Sneva? Eva Sneva! Paris Hilton and Ed Harris? Paris Harris! Martha Stewart and Denzel Washington? Martha Washington!! Tara Reid and Quentin Tarantino? Tara Tarantino!!! Bristol Palin and Mike Meyers? Bristol Meyers!!!! Darryl Hannah and Will Ferrell? Darryl Ferrell!!!!! Hoo boy, I'm on a roll...

It's Drew Barrymore and Drew Carey. And if Drew Barrymore married Drew Carey, his name would still be Drew Carey... However... if Mariah Carey married Drew Carey, she'd still be Mariah Carey. Or Mariah Carey-Carey... And if Ella Fitzgerald had married Allan Funt, she would have been Ella Funt! Now if Jim Carrey married Drew Carey....

If you keep wasting your money on canned air, you'll never be able to afford a compressor! Bite the bullet and buy a compressor today! Sure, it'll cost you up front, but think of how much money you're wasting on those silly cans of air. In the long run the compressor will be cheaper than constantly buying the canned air. And you can get a decent compressor for modeling work for less than a hundred bucks... it's not that much money, compared to several cans of air.

There's nothing I can see here that needs improvement... looks to me like you're already a great modeler!

Welcome aboard... glad to have you!

Interesting how the "doctor" who made the 911 call has conveniently "disappeared"...

You can bet they were never that wide on a German car!!!

It's made by a company called Unique Replicas. http://www.howardsamusementparkandtrains.c...LK-TRUCK/Detail Here's the full lineup: http://www.phillymint.com/diecast/Unique.htm

There's a very good reason for that...

I just moved you...

Hey Mouppe... what a surprise to see you here!

Good thing I didn't go with that photo, then!

Would I have fooled you with this photo?
