  1. Now that's just mean. I had a Pacer in that same shade of yellow .
  2. You might be able to pick those items up at a Lowe's or Home Depot, but you will likely need some fittings to make it all work.
  3. I concur with my esteemed colleagues as to the quality of the Optivisor.
  4. My model building and crystal meth manufacturing operations are carried out at separate locations. My model stuff is safe.
  5. I remember the 8th grade. It was the best three years of my life. Just kidding. Congrats on finishing for the school year, and if I may offer a little friendly advice, work hard and get good grades in high school. I guarantee that it will make your adult life easier.
  6. Great save! You made that GP look real nice.
  7. Nicely done! I like the "sleeper" look.
  8. I really like that paint. Looks super nice.
  9. Very sleek. I like it.
  10. The paint on that Goat looks fabulous!
  11. Very well done!
  12. What kind of depraved animal would do such a thing to an AMX?
  13. W-Machine

    Avanti

    That looks great!
  14. I own two Paasche airbrushes, and have found them to be of good quality. For tips, you might want to check out the "Tutorials" section. While an airbrush is not difficult to use, there really is no substitute for practice, so get your scrap bodies ready for experimentation. Personally, I thin my paint to roughly the consistency of milk, and shoot at a pressure of 20 psi. Your results may vary, so the key is PRACTICE to find your "sweet spots".
  15. I like it!
  16. Problem? With what? Anybody here with some kind of problem?
  17. The '72 T-Bird. From an era when engines were strong, and bumpers were weak. Now THAT'S a car.
  18. Your dentist is probably not "Dr. Szell" from the film "Marathon Man". You'll be fine. It's almost painless.
  19. Very cool idea. The Toronado styling lends itself quite well to the "Daytona" concept. Will it still be front wheel drive?
  20. Perhaps your dentist would be generous enough to donate some of those handy dental burrs to your collection of grinding and shaping tools. They work great with your Dremel, and the smaller sizes are perfect for drilling out tailpipes and the like. My dentist is one of the good guys and gave me a whole bunch after I told him I was a car modeler. Dental equipment is practically designed to be used (off-label) as modeling tools. Your friendly dentist might even give you an equipment catalog that you can order stuff from. Don't freak out about the cavity, it's not that big of a deal.
  21. What beautiful, slick paint you've got there!
  22. I am ever-appreciative of all who have served. My brother, Maj. Derek Enz, is currently enjoying the local hospitality of Afghanistan compliments of the United States Army. He, like all in the armed forces, make it possible for me to remain a lazy civilian.
  23. Nothing cooler than Steve McQueen's ride. Looks great, Carl.
