Beautiful work!

Welcome Jens! Please post pictures of your work.

You don't have a credit card?

Maybe this will help.

Is the Futura really a Lincoln? If yes, then put me down for one. And a Zephyr.

Those are some pretty cool kits. Nice to see something different for a change.

Apparently you have the magic ability to read words that aren't really there. Care to point out exactly where in my post I said anything about whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that Camaro production is moving to the states? I wasn't making a commentary, I was posting a FACT that I read on an online news site. How you see that as me saying it's a "good thing" is beyond me.

Nah... there's only so many times you can use that excuse!

Someone parked on the dang internet hose again...

How about this one? The answer: REAL!

Top or bottom half?

Snots running down his nose... Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes... Ah, what a lovely little word picture!

Ooooooh! Now I know what you mean! Yeah, that was a fake link just to make a point. Didn't mean to have you clicking on it for ten minutes!

Nice! Are you going to paint or stain or weather it?

Don't you mean Charger or Dart graphics? Because there's not going to be any actual Charger or Dart there.

The wacky-looking car in the photo that looks like it might have been rescued from an old carnival bumper car ride is a 1954 Pegaso Z-102 Series II Cabriolet. Who got it right: wisdonm Johnny Badluck13 Foxer george53 chillyb1 trogdor Kenny Chris R. GHolding CorvairJim kataranga

What??? '59 Cadillacs can be a color other than pink? Seriously... nice job. And nice color!

The fine line is this: If someone makes a post here and includes all the information needed in order for a person to actually buy that product right here, without having to go somewhere else to make the purchase, that is "selling on the forum" and is not allowed. If the post is a referral or a reference or a link to a product... in other words, if you have to leave this forum and go somewhere else in order to make the purchase, then that is not considered "selling on the forum." There's a difference between selling and advertising. I agree, it may be splitting hairs to some, but it's a hair that has to be split. I mean, we have to have a specific definition as to what constitutes "selling on the forum" and what doesn't. That's how I define "selling on the forum." Most members here who are also aftermarket suppliers, like Donn or Charlie at Pro Tech and many others, are cool with the no selling rule... and they don't take advantage of the "advertising" side of things. If any particular aftermarket supplier were to get obnoxious and start posting a ton of "buy my stuff at www.xxxxxxxxxx.com" type of posts all over the place, then obviously I would let them know that they needed to cool it. But as long as it doesn't get out of hand, I think I agree with Donn's thought, that the more we know about the various products and services out there, the better is is for the hobby, both buyers and sellers. After all, one of the purposes of a forum is to share information. Again, the reason we don't want actual selling taking place here is the inevitable problems it would cause... buyers and sellers having a problem with a sale. As long as the actual transaction takes place at the seller's website or online store, and not here, we're ok. I know that some of you disagree with my definition of "selling on the forum," but someone has to define it. Unless I hear otherwise from Gregg, my definition is the one we'll use.

Let me explain this again, so everyone (I hope) understands it. Someone posts this: I just saw a really cool resin body for a "57 Chevy conversion. Check it out at Joe's Resin Shack. Or someone has this in their signature line: Check out my cool new resin at Joe's Resin Shack Those could be considered "selling" by some, I guess, but I would say they're more like "advertising." A reference or referral as to where to go in order to buy something is ok to post, because any actual sale is not taking place here, but on another site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have my new "57 Chevy resin conversion kit in stock now. To buy it send a check for $XX to Joe's Resin Shack, 123 Main Street, USA. That is selling on the forum. If someone posts a thread that allows for a product or service to be bought directly here on the forum without needing to go anywhere else to buy it, that is considered selling on the forum and is not allowed. We don't want to be held accountable or responsible for a sale gone bad, a dissatisfied customer, or any other potential problems selling here would inevitably bring on, whether justified or not. I can see the PMs already... "I bought this kit on the Model Cars forum and I got ripped off. Model Cars owes me my money back." Buying and selling is not one of the functions of this forum. We already have enough problems with angry or dissatisfied traders, we don't want to add angry or dissatisfied buyers and sellers, too. A referral or a reference to a product or website is ok. Placing an ad that allows for direct buying of the product right here on the forum is considered "selling on the forums" and is not allowed. I don't know how I can possibly explain it any more clearly. If anyone still doesn't understand the difference between selling and referrals, PM me.

This one is still in the stores... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=RMXS2623 You can even download a PDF of the instructions to see if you would like the kit.

How large is large? The 1/8 scale Monogram Corvettes, Big T, Big Deuce, etc. are all pretty straightforward, basically just bigger versions of 1/24 scale kits. They would make a good first big scale kit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Monogram-Corvette-Coupe-1985-1-8-Scale-New-In-Box-/400386986447?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item5d38ec91cf

Here's a similar video. This is Market Street in San Francisco. This was filmed from a cable car just 4 days before the great earthquake and fire that destroyed the city in April, 1906 (original is silent, the music was added later):

Even if they were all going only 20-25 mph... no lights? no traffic controls of any kind at intersections? It seems amazing to me that they just didn't play bumper cars all day long!

Wilshire Boulevard at Rodeo Drive (Los Angeles)... looking west, 1930s. No lane markings. No turning lanes. No traffic lights. No stop signs. No posted speed limit. No traffic control devices of any kind! How did they survive???

I don't know what that means. What are you talking about?
