Why are the tires red?

That's the only "bricks and mortar" model car museum that I know of.

As you can see by the numbers, your photo is waaaaaaaaay too big. 24 times too big, to be exact. It's like comparing the size of a model with the real car. You have to drastically downsize it to get it under the 250kb limit. If you don't know how to do that, reshoot the photo at the lowest quality (smallest image) setting your camera has.

Yeah, and don't forget the nipple on each end of every spoke. That ought to keep you busy for a while...

Clear won't reduce the chrominess. Strip the chrome and spray with a metalizer paint or SpazStix, depending on how "shiny" you want the wheels. SpazStix is probably going to give the look you're after.

I think you were on the right track when you were thinking wide whites and steelies...

I just tried... the site doesn't work for me either.

That is a great shot! Man, I wish I had one like that in my garage!

You might want to ad a sign, though. GAS or whatever...

If I had to PM every person who's post I had to put in the right place I would need a staff here just to keep up with all the PMs. So the answer is no. Either post in the right place to begin with, or posts will be moved to where they should have been posted. No time for a personal letter of explanation to everyone.

Beautiful! And the mirrors look fantastic... Very nicely done on all counts.

How about this one? Real or model? The answer: REAL!

Dang! That's one mighty fine looking model. PS: PM sent to you.

It's not really pulled out, it's bent downward.

Nice "weathering!"

So why don't we see "Firestone" tires in more kits? I think they'd be preferable to the "no name" tires that are in so many kits these days.

Nice! I like the air intake setup, it's different.

I agree. Your weathering/rusting is obviously brilliant, but I have to question a few of your decisions, like the out of scale crackling on the door paint, and the oddly bent front bumper. How would the bumper ever have been bent like that in the "real world" without any other dents or damage? Did some 3,000 pound guy step on it? I think that sometimes when people weather models, they get into the weathering process but forget to keep in mind how and where weathering/rust/damage would occur in reality.

Unless I missed it, I don't know of any specific rule here that forbids people from talking about other forums. But your post makes me think about whether this sort of thread is accomplishing anything positive. "After further review," as they say, maybe it's best to close this one.

Now that's different! Pretty cool.

I agree with that. They don't suit the model and they don't conform well to the wheelwell shape. I was going to say that, but I think at this point they might be a pain to remove. If he didn't clear over them, he might be able to pull them off with masking tape. But then again... he may like them!

Maybe Bill can enable people to subscribe to the blog and receive emails whenever there is new content. I'm not sure if the blog template Bill is using allows subscribing, though.

So I take it that we're sipid?

Agreed.
