458 Italia. Oh yeah. Would be nice if the Austin Healey reissue had the original racing parts included again (roll bar, chopped windscreen, tonneau cover). Seems like Revell AG is out to put the smackdown on Fujimi & Tamiya, with the timely subject matter.

I'll bet most of the cars are either inside deals or Craigslist finds. I have an ancient Mazda 929 that when it's fateful day is near I could donate it to the Le Mons cause! V6, RWD, all-independent suspension, a poor man's BMW 5 series wrapped in an anonymous Japanese body with an Oldsmobile-like crushed velour interior

They're roughly $10 Million from Land's End If anyone wants them I can find out the ordering information from their business outfitters. They're quite reasonable, and often have free shipping and/or free monogramming. We got some pretty cool monogrammed denim work aprons from them. They can put the logo on a lot of various products.

These gentlemen are still mulling over the punishment for your ransom demands: And our Prez gets pretty crazy about his signs:

I noticed in Treble that your bold/italic "Gregg" didn't come through as italic. I do believe IPS Software didn't do all of their beta-test homework for this software

I had upgraded Firefox last week, but it wasn't the latest-greatest, which I just uploaded. Everything is like greased lightning, but the skins are still messed up.

IP Duo & Treble are the two skins that show editing functions properly on my FF. All others, aside from Comfy, show half the edit buttons. Comfy blocks most of them w/the "show all" bar.

Comfy may be comfy, but other skins work better in Firefox. Aside from "Comfy", most others show half the edit buttons. I think this was IP Duo:

This is how the edit screen looks on IE8: This is how it looks on Firefox: Sorry to say IE8 is better w/this forum than Firefox, at least on my end. I don't really like using IE for anything unless it's a last resort.

As I said, under the typing field there is a bar with the "show all" button. This bar is blocking 95% of the two buttons that are used to preview & submit the edited post.

I just tried to edit one of my posts. I got so bloody annoyed with the fact that there was no way to view the edit or complete the edit I just deleted it. I opened the post with the "edit" button. I was able to make the change, but there is no link (at least one that is intuitive or easily seen) that allows me to preview the edit, or complete the edit. It sure was easy to delete the post, but certainly not to edit it. Edit: In Firefox the bar that says "Show All" underneath the typing field is blocking the edit buttons. Better call Orkin. This site is rather buggy.

Very slick! Great model, I'm sure he's thrilled.

Tapani sends them to the US; I think he needs paypal payment. I got the Saab about a year & a half ago when a friend ordered a pair of Volvo P1800's and a pair of Anglias. I have evil intentions w/the Saab :D

Comfy is easiest on the eyes.

There's a huge Hobbytown USA on the north side of town in Kennesaw off of I-75 & Barrett Pkwy. They have great paint selection; kit section is thinner than usual since they opened a Hobby Lobby almost across the street from it. If you are into anything aircraft, AAA Hobbies in Marietta, also on the north side of town, is the place to go for aircraft builders. Lots of good builder/paint supplies there too.

I find it pretty amusing that I had bought a number of Maisto unassembled diecast models a few years ago & they came with big tubes of Testors tube glue I have about 4 or 5 of these tubes, and I haven't used tube glue in close to 20 years Guess it's time for me to spread the wealth at one of my club meetings...someone will want 'em, I'm sure

And I really do want to see photos of the Miura model whenever they do get around to making it!

Please provide evidence! The reason I say this is that there is a company using a stock 1:1 Miura photo to sell a large scale model, but no photos of the real model have ever surfaced. Here are more of the 1:1 photos from the same shoot: 1:1 Miura SV studio photos

So far so good, I'll get used to it. Will we at some point be given options to change the look of the forum as we could in the past? I like the fact that pictures aren't being resized & that the smilies are all on one page w/o needing to open another window for them all

For raw styrene to styrene bonds (kit plastic or Evergreen) you can't go wrong w/Ambroid, Tenax, Tamiya Extra Thin, Testors liquid cement. Tube glue is too slow for my taste, and older builds have sink marks in the body over areas I used the tube glue; it took years for the glue to do it's damage and who knows if it ever really cures? For resin or painted parts in general medium or thick superglue with accelerator (quick bond, accelerator negates fogging). For glass & emblems, Formula 560 canopy glue, Microscale Micro Krystal Kleer, Testors clear parts cement...or even strong double-sided tape (there's a brand at the craft stores that is absolutely ideal for this; cut/apply thin strips to the hidden areas of glass...it's very, very strong & no glue problems at all). I use the canopy glue on a lot of exterior emblems/parts because any excess wipes up with water before it sets completely. And the canopy glue is very strong, but if you need to de-bond it, you can apply a drop of water to the joint & wait for it to soak in, and the glue will soften. Quite handy, actually. For high-strength bonds use epoxies. 5 minute is usually sufficient.

I'm loving all the comments on the various blogs/forums since it's apparently gone viral in the last few days! Maybe someone will build it in 1:1 scale and take it to SEMA

Wow, and it's on Cardomain & Carscoop as well...I guess it will hit Autoblog before long. It's a hoot reading all the comments

Your stocking will be full of coal & switches, AA batteries & Mabuchi motors

1:18 Diecast. 'nuff said

No kidding. Heller was supposed to do one, but it never materialized....and I think Heller is Tango Uniform.
