Thanks 55, Shafer, Have you read over any of the Decal material in the tips and tutorials Section? CadillacPat

Just hold the needle in a pair of pliers and use a CutOff Wheel to shorten its length. CadillacPat

What about using a sewing needle. The loop (eyelet) is already on one end. CadillacPat

What exactly is the "kit" you're buying and what is COT? CadillacPat

The dispensers keep the rolls clean, especially their edges. I bought 10 rolls each of the 6mm, 10mm and 18mm The 6mm was on sale for 97 cents a roll. CadillacPat

Harry, you walked right into that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even Gluebomb got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CadillacPat

Buy the dispensers (per size of tape width), From there on you need only buy the inexpensive refills. CadillacPat

Hey Casey, No, don't remove it. I don't think I've ever asked for anything to be removed except for derogatory comments. By all means, it is slightly Car related, But, It sure is depressing when the front page of the site is littered with roadkill, time after time. If you do create an off topic section please build it so it does not return to the top of the page with each off topic thread. Keep it in the shadows. CadillacPat

93k, This is unnecessary, ---this is not unecessary----. Nothing offensive here, For months now the board has been inundated with obituary and death threads. Some have been removed. Most have nothing at all to do with Models. 2/3 of his board think Richie Havens is an upscale residential neighborhood in Beverly Hills. Just as the same portion have no idea who George Jones is. It would be like you posting the obituary of the Missing Pumpkins guy who died from an OD. I would have no idea who he is nor would I care. All these Obituaries makes the site front page look like my AOL Browser. CadillacPat

Yes John, And, If people compare prices for the same items from catalogue to catalogue they'll see MM's supposed sale prices are jacked up to compensate. Just compare sale prices with those from the month before. I've followed their offerings for many years. Hobbylinc is a supply house I order from online. Their sale prices on items like Tamiya Tape Refills are outstanding. CadillacPat

Yet another Obituary thread. This one 19 years after the fact. CadillacPat

I wouldn't portray the more expensive items from MicroMark as "quality" I've received their catalogue for more than a decade so I've traced down the majority of their items to find them in better brands at other outlets. As I said, you can find other sources of better quality, and cheaper prices. CadillacPat

I get the MicroMark Catalogues because they show pics of so many tools that can be useful, But, MicroMark is way overpriced. Everything you see in the catalogue can be purchased at Big Lots, Swap Meets, Car Shows and Flea Markets for far less than MicroMark's high retail. But, If you're someone who lives way out in the Boonies and don't have access to lots of stores, they are a great source. Saves on gas. CadillacPat

Colorcoats after 24 hrs can be dusted with InterCoat Clear to avoid fisheye when Clearing. CadillacPat

Sadly it appears you forgot you posted this (above) only a few hours ago. You must really love this thread, that is pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure we can count on YOU to keep it going on like the Energizer Bunny!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least everyone else has actually contributed to the discussion.

Glueth, Howeth caneth threadeth haveth passedeth ifeth youeth keepeth coming backeth to telleth everyone theyeth are beating a deadeth horseth? I thinketh Youeth doth liketh that horseth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In case you haven't noticed Glue,This thread has not moved down further than 2 or 3 spots since it was first posted. That's not a Bump, that's a Reply.

I airbrush whitewalls on to some 1/64 tires. If you need to strip your tires use Castrol Purple Power. CadillacPat

What if someone is just thinking of building a Model? Maybe a "Thinking Of" Section??? Or wait, What if someone is thinking of building an invisible Model. Members could be told there is a Section for Invisible Models while all the time there would not really be a need to create one. "It's there, it's there, you just have to keep looking" Please do not make anymore changes, I don't want the layout to get too anal. CadillacPat

EXactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harry, I've been wanting to post that same blatantly obvious observation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CadillacPat

Oooooh ZINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CadillacPat

Look at how many times someone posts a question asking for the definition of a term or word. All that requires is for them to Google it. Explaining procedures for a technique is different. Simple one word definitions should be Googled or Searched. CadillacPat

I think the topic may best be explained here, CadillacPat

But does anybody really know what time it is, CadillacPat

Electricity CadillacPat

Coming Soon------Stay Tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm writing a little "Familiarize yourself with Photoshop" piece for those that have PS but haven't used it and for those who have it but want to know more about using it. Just a few steps showing the small number of PS tools we will use and what they can do. This will all be written. I think more detail and info can be shown in written word than a lot of stimmering and stammering on YouTube. While some people create some decent scripted HowTo's on YouTube the most of it is inarticulate jibberish. That includes all of YouTube, Models, Aquariums, Navajo inlay Jewelry, everything and anything you can think of!!!! I taught myself PS by reading online PS Tutorials and practicing with the PS Tools. This will all be very easy. As I say in the next part, some people are intimidated by PS because it can do almost anything, But, You only have to use 5 or 6 of the PS Tools to make the kind of Decals I make, so you don't have to be concerned with 95% of PhotoShop capabilities.
