Only if you thought "The Jetsons" was real!

If you can take a paper magazine into the "throne room," then you can take an I-Pad into it just as easily.

It's going to take over, no doubt about it. How much longer will newspapers still pay for huge rolls of paper, huge printing presses, huge buildings to house those huge printng presses, trucks and drivers to distribute the paper, etc, etc., ... when they can just put out a digital version and save all of that $$$? Same with magazines. It's just a matter of time before paper magazines join butter churns and kerosene lanterns in the "used to be" museum of obsolete technology.

Build 'em. That's what they were made for!

Yeah, I know. But give me credit for trying!

I like Nirvana's "Smells Like Styrene Spirit"...

Tonto man of few words.

And yet here you are on this newfangled "internet" thing! Maybe you "old dogs" can learn a few new tricks.

I don't think a top chop can save it!

Welcome, James and John!

Yes. Pocher kits are notorious for screw holes that are too small for the screws, and the screws themselves are made of cheap metal and are very weak and brittle. If you try and force it into the hole, you'll snap off the screw head 95% of the time.

It takes just as much effort to create a digital magazine as it does one printed on paper (minus the actual printing and distribution, of course). In fact, every issue of every magazine begins as a digital version (all magazines are created on computer)... so why would you dismiss a digital magazine that has the exact same content as a traditional paper magazine? You sound like the kind of guy back at the beginning of the 20th century who would have said "well, the day that automobiles take over the job of transportation from horses, I'll quit going anywhere and just stay home."

Exactly. I spend a lot of money on Pocher kits. They are all highly collectible and getting both harder to find and more expensive all the time. And I think that most people who deal with them are in it on the "collectible" side of things. But every time I find one at a reasonable price (well, "reasonable" for a Pocher kit), I snap it up. And then I build it. I have no intention whatsoever of buying a Pocher kit with the intent of reselling it for a profit. If I buy it, I build it, period.

Hmmm... unnecessary alliteration? I've never noticed any of that nonsense here. Oh well... I wouldn't get too worked up or waste any time worrying about weird word usage...

What's a "heart city?"

It's not as crazy as you think.

Jairus, you must feel like a fish out of water living in Oregon. It's kind of like Nancy Pelosi moving to Salt Lake City!

Maybe we should start charging you for the "free milk"...

But that's the problem. To a lot of guys it's more than "just a hobby"... they enter contests and take things really seriously-and some of them get seriously upset if they don't win.

I knew somebody would say that!

Remember: DO NOT POST THE ANSWER OR HINTS HERE! Last time I had to shut it down because apparently some people can't understand that simple request. PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 2004 Hindustan Avigo

This isn't a tip, trick, or tutorial. It's a modeling question. So I moved it to the question and answer section. Come on people... is it really that hard to figure out?

The best way (and the cheapest) to get the magazine is to subscribe. The per issue cost is a lot less when you subscribe.

A Christmas tree color wheel! It was used to give color to those shiny aluminum Christmas trees that were oh-so-stylish in the '50s and '60s! My friend who lived two houses down had one of those silver Christmas trees with the color wheel back when we were kids. Pretty cool stuff back then...

Ok... so I have to ask. Why to Portland?
