  1. That looks like a Model Roundup product page...... I will say, even though their prices may seem a bit high, that Jack is a real pleasure to deal with and buy from. Good People.....
  2. Got a little done on the engine here, still more to do.......
  3. "Wife Soup" is a song by the band Umphrey's McGee........
  4. For all y'all that are like me, whose hands dry and crack during the winter, I've found a treatment.......... ChapStick! Just apply directly to where your hands are split, instant relief!
  5. None of the fans have any clothes on, so you might be.........
  6. Thanks for letting me join in! I was gonna give this it's own thread, but I saw this thread and thought it would be cooler to hang out with y'all instead.......
  7. Chuck, if it's cool I'd like to join in! I just happened to be starting on the same '41 Plymouth kit that you have there..... Gonna go with a mild custom! All I've done so far is the engine halves are together, and I've removed a running board perch. Always liked the look of the fat fender cars without their running boards. So if it's okay, I'll begin showing my progress here!
  8. Oh, no..... Not tube glue! The horror! Just kidding.... Though I realize the formula has changed since you were young, but I still use the Testors tube glue. As long as used sparingly, and you don't plan to ever take things apart, it works just fine........
  9. Mustache shaped with wax is one way to recognize Salvador Dali.......
  10. This is going great! That last pic shows what the color scheme is gonna look like........ Gonna be a treat to see finished!
  11. Lots of cool cars! I spotted more than a couple max wedge cars........ I'd have a MW before a Hemi any day!
  12. I kinda still build like I'm 12, but it's because I have the same Tools and Materials I had when I was 12..... LoL!
  13. The paint job on the inspiration pic looks like it could be replicated with clear yellow over gold, maybe? or Even turn-signal amber over a base........... Just thinking aloud!
  14. I really do hope all y'all have a pleasant Holiday season! This time of year, for some reason, makes me want to watch that old movie 'Flight of the Navigator'..... It's not a Holidays movie, but still a wholesome, good movie.
  15. Be it true or not, they sure share some character traits! ( just kidding, Bill my man! )
  16. Better not tell anyone that you're really Kenneth Howard......... (Yep! I figured it out! Bill's really Von Dutch......)
  17. So, you're 'retro', too.......... Does that make us trendy or something? Really though, the early Playstation games were excellent! There's a few I want to order from Lukie Games (used gaming site), including Sly Cooper, and maybe another Ratchet and Clank game......
  18. I believe I'm going to have to buy a humidifier...... With the air being so dry, I'm getting shocked every time I touch something metal. It's compounded by the HVAC unit they installed being the largest one they made at the time (about 8 years ago). This apartment is maybe a three car garage in size, so the air unit was overkill.....
  19. I was thinking of getting the steering wheel, as well. It's cool that they even scan the interiors of the real ones, but I wonder why they would.......... Can you see any of the interior in the later versions?
  20. I'm kind of a retro (read: can't afford a newer system...),gamer here with my old Playstation 2. I was playing Gran Turismo 4, when I had something occur to me..... This game is IN SCALE! The cars have definite dimensions, horsepower numbers, and weights. The courses are laid out in miles/tenths. I figure with my television, I'm at about 1/3rd scale from a real size vehicle... Just thought that was interesting!
  21. Those are PRETTY! I like the shiny one the best........ LoL! Are they all for slot cars? Did some of them start out as kits?
  22. Those look really neat! Figure painting is a completely different animal from model cars..... You should do some type of WIP with them.
  23. He probably gets a hard time everywhere he goes, for NOT having a HD.......
  24. Well, this is crazy....... I was just perusing Craigslist and ran across this ad! He calls them 'Dan Gurney' wheels........... https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/wto/d/northridge-vintage-1970-dan-gurney/7697769989.html
  25. Would you happen to have an AMT '57 Chrysler? I believe there's an early Hemi in it...........
