  1. I actually looked into this awhile ago. Yes it would work but the problem I found was that scale was a problem. I could not find any design that looked like it would look scale on a model. Perhaps now there may be ??? Interesting however.
  2. I seem to have better results removing the tape pretty soon after I spray if it's lacquer. For enamel paint I wait longer but I don't let it dry completely. Works better for me. Your results may vary. : )
  3. Very wild !
  4. I think with the rising prices of most things around us that most of us are loosing ground. Hopefully I am wrong and most are doing well. We have noticed a price spike on some things at the grocery store. Gas is pretty low right now. Some utility bills are increasing and the taxes on some are just border line criminal. : )
  5. Is that a stripper pole I see in the back ? : )
  6. Speaking as one who has and uses a leaf blower ( electric ) I try to be considerate. I am retired so I use it only on weekdays when most of the neighbors are at work. I used a rake for a few years but here in Arizona most of us have gravel yards. Have you ever tried to rake up the stuff that blows into the yard or falls from the trees without getting 20 pounds of rock ? Blower works much better.
  7. There are way too many of those places. IMO
  8. Great info, thank you !
  9. Looks real good.
  10. Oh boy ! An early Christmas gift for all us mortals ! Outstanding !!!
  11. Road Runners....real. Jack A Lopes..... not so much ! : )
  12. We also have Smash Burger which is pretty good.
  13. Many years ago I worked near 63 rd. and Pulaski in Chicago. A couple blocks down on Pulaski was the best place for a great hot dog. I am sure the place is long gone and the name escapes me but it was so good.
  14. I think the satin looks pretty good. I'm even starting to like the wheels, not that it matters. : )
  15. We have Culvers here as well. No White Castles. I used to live in Chicago years ago and liked going to White Castles early in the morning. To be honest when I moved from Illinois to California ( to Arizona years later ) I was disappointed in the food and though Chicago food was much better. Pizza, hot dogs, beef sandwiches and beef and sausage combo sandwiches. Now I'm hungry !
  16. Interesting. On the sunny kit they have fairly large "pins" sticking up as you know and have been trying to figure out how best to deal with them I would normally just try and paint them silver but that just never looks right and is never neat. I am considering drilling them out and using straight pins to fill the holes but am worried they would be too large.
  17. Maybe Monday or Tuesday Carl. I got a little side tracked with Christmas tree and outside lights. I did get the body in primer at least. It needed a bit of cleanup.
  18. Yet another beautiful photo.
