  1. That sure makes it easy. Thanks
  2. Here is a way to clean dirty models that worked for me on a dozen of well built and detailed cars that I acquired. These cars were more than a bit dusty, they had been on an open shelf for 20 or more years. First fill kitchen sink with a couple inches of warm soapy water. Use soft 1 inch or so wide soft paint brush to pre soak then use same brush to lightly scrub complete model reaching into all cracks and crevices. Don't be afraid to get it wet, as far as I know plastic models are water-proof. Smaller brushes are required to reach into interior. Rinse well under running water or use vegetable sprayer nozzle. Really dirty cars may require a second go-around. Allow to dry then apply a coat of wax. The cars that I did came out as if they had been finished yesterday. 100% clean And get this: Flocking survived too! Again, don't be afraid to get them wet. Keep an eye out for tiny parts that may come off and try to sneak into drain. Only one spot-light came off on 12 cars for me This process worked very well for me. Good luck
  3. Welcome Martin! You will be doing "serious modeling" if you follow any of the ideas that show up here. Have fun.
  4. Welcome aboard! Builds look real good/ with a hint of retro. Are you a mopar fan?
  5. Nice build, impressive ladder and out-riggers
  6. Sorry for being a Jerk, just having one of those days
  7. Thank you for the great pictures
  8. Now that is some fine scale modeling
  9. I'm not sure that I get the point...
  10. Great Job! Thanks
  11. Thank you for sharing
  12. Rust rules! Sorry Jim
  13. Another perfect example of "less is more".
  14. This is for our viewing entertainment. If there were no controversies it would be less entertaining. These kinds of shows have made the re-sale businesses a good market to be in today. Not so good for the buyer. Note: just because it is old does not mean it is valuable, desirable, or collectable.
  15. I'm not too good, but I sure am slow! Master-Schmaster
  16. Harbor Freight has a set ot two to choose from. Cheap. Size starts at tiny, very tiny. Pin vice and/or Dremel work with these. All have 1/8" shank. These make for a nice set.
  17. Are you sure those are not pictures of the real car? Looks great.
  18. Thats real nice. Try this sometime: Do something nice for somebody, and don't tell anybody about it.
  19. Two world class riders. Only one champion at the finish. A true champion is difficult to beat. A race that close is always exciting and rare no matter what sport it is. My fingernails should grow back in a few weeks.
  20. Hi neighbor, great (advanced) build so far. Good luck with your convertible
  21. What scale is this? Big T? Way cool!
  22. That is just too cool. The green one is too.
