For drainage? Very cool model. Well done!

Don't know, but it sure sounds like something one of the Three Stooges would say!

That's pretty cool. Very nice photos, too! ...but you're not going to get very far with no hoses carrying coolant to the engine...

Anybody watching the "new" JLG on CNBC? I think there have been only 3-4 episodes so far. What do you guys think? I like Jay, and I like the wide variety of cars he features, but to me the individual segments are too short. The show seems jumpy and "twitchy." I wish he would do it more like "Sixty Minutes"... 3-4 main stories that each get 10-12 minutes, instead of a bunch of short features that only get 2-3 minutes each. Seems like he's trying to cram too much into every episode. For example, he did a really quick 2-3 minute segment on an old 1911 or so electric car. He barely glossed over the surface, when the topic (and the car) are very interesting and he could easily have spent 10-12 minutes on explaining how and why electrics disappeared, a more in-depth review of the car, etc. But I do like the segment where they ask you to guess which of three collector cars has appreciated in value the most. But overall... slow it down, Jay.

Jay Leno? I remember one time on the Tonight Show he said he hadn't had a salad in years...

96% (46 out of 48). The Willys messed me up.

Yes.

No buts. I just presented the quote, not any commentary related to it. He said what he said. You (or snopes.com or anyone) can interpret it any way you want to, but the words are what they are.

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

"I have put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process."

"I'm sorry, those are my principles. If you don't like them... well, I have others."

"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with."

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

The faded paint and rust streaks look pretty good, but a car with the paint that worn and with that much rust, etc., would most likely have a very "chalky" look to the paint. It would be pretty much dead flat, no gloss like your model has.

First of all, thanks to Ken Stone for stepping in and running ROM/Auto ID for me. I was actually ready to take it back weeks ago, but Ken said he was having too much fun to hand it back! But now, there is a new development that will be taking up more of Ken's time (it's nothing bad or medical or anything like that)... so it's back to me again! How about this one? Real or Model? The answer: REAL!

No. Medical bills ate up my Mustang fund.

Elvira's hair needs to be taller! Can't complain about the rest of her, though...

The kit has been issued several times as a Bandai Kit, and also as an Entex kit. It has also been issued in the steam roller version.

What usually happens with me is I start a project, work at it for a while, and get bored with it. So I'll start something else, telling myself I'll get back to the first one soon. Then something I bought on ebay will arrive and I put aside project 2 because something shiny and new just came... Most of the time I do go back and finish what I started. About 90% of the time. But not always. I have some partly-built models that I set aside "temporarily" over 20 years ago!

Wow! The level of detail is spectacular! Nicely done. What are the sources of the bottles, cans, etc. in the dumpster?

Beautiful car, beautiful model.

What do you men, you "ended up" with his model? And put those wire wheels back on it!

Depends on the specific situation. For general all-around building, liquid glue (I use Plastrtuct Bondene). Clamp the parts to be glued together, and "paint" the seam with liquid cement. It flows into the seam and "welds" the parts together. No messy "squeeze out" or "strings" like you get with tube glue. For certain other situations, like where parts fit is sloppy or I need to fill the area with something solid...5-minute epoxy. Tube glue if I am gluing a small part in place that needs to be held in position as it dries. Example: side view mirrors. A tiny dab of tube glue on the glue surface of the mirror, than place the mirror in position. The tube glue is thick enough to hold a small part like that in position as it dries, liquid cement wouldn't work well in this instance. CA glue in certain situations, or if bonding dissimilar materials (brass to plastic, wood to plastic, etc.) For windows that fit well, small trim pieces, chrome emblems, anything that needs to be placed on a flat, smooth, usually painted surface: clear acrylic. I use "Future" clear acrylic (it's actually meant to be used on tile or hardwood floors). One bottle of the stuff will last forever. Those are what I use: Liquid cement for 90% of building, epoxy, tube glue, or CA in certain specific situations, and clear acrylic.
