For he's the pineapple jello, but I am the walrus.

"BS" is a reference that can get you a reprimand 'round here...

I'll definitely be climbing on this train as soon as "I've got to have it FIRST!!!" clowns get out of the way and the prices drop. I'm thinking it's probably only a matter of time before these folks do a stock '32 something. Just hope it happens during my lifetime.

Information overload can ruin your day, particularly when much of it is contradictory.

I recall speaking with you at one of the ACME events, and remember the 1mm reference. I've done a lot of work developing methods to make 1/24-1/25 fiberglass parts down around .020"-.030", but to be able to print at 1mm would be a fantastic game changer for me. The question is whether I'll ever invest the effort to develop the capability....but your work sure is inspiring.

Left sitting out in the weather, cars deteriorate faster than if they're used regularly.

I appreciate that. I'll be taking what I've learned over the years and applying it to building my own stuff...but no more customer work, ever...unless the economy totally blows up and everything we know as "security" disintegrates. EDIT: When I'm building my own stuff, I'm rarely in a hurry, and I already have almost everything I need for multiple projects anyway. So if a delivery takes longer than 'I'd like, I'll just go somewhere and do something else for fun in the interim.

That was then and this is some other time.

Try running a business that depends on timely deliveries from multiple suppliers every week. EDIT: Nobody pays me extra for organizing my workflow so that I can order parts and materials two weeks to 30 days in advance to compensate for less-than-efficient shipping...which is another reason that after these last two projects, I quit.

Youngster hands sometimes fail to develop skills as they become adult hands.

Program cars are vehicles that have been leased or purchased by a car dealership from an automobile manufacturer, like my Dodge Neon early in its life.

Receptors in the human nervous system work with neurotransmitters to enable cell-to-cell communication.

Agar is primarily a consumable food additive in the US today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agar https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-agar.html#:~:text=Agar is a gelatin-like,want to culture and identify. We used a nutrient-enriched version called agar-agar to grow bacteria in high school science classes. It's not a preferred material for mold-making that requires very fine detail-capture, and for molds that can be used repeatedly over time. There are so many engineered materials that are made specifically for the purpose, like silicones and urethanes, I fail to understand the motivation to use oddball stuff for mold-making.

Don't feel bad. Google gets stupider every day, and I spend a lot of time searching. And you're welcome, sir.

I'm entirely aware of that, and your stuff looks beautiful. I'll personally be a many-times repeat client once I have more time to build again. EDIT: And I'm really happy you're doing such fine work. Too bad there are so many "me too" talentless blind scam-hackers who either don't have a clue or just don't care.

And they say competence in the workplace is declining...

And I'll wager the vast majority of the ones given away or purchased for this one were nothing but cheap tinted garbage, not extra-special whiz-bang "eclipse-rated" whoopee wonders.

You mean these? https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/chevrolet/corvette-unknown-year/amt-eckler-corvette/ecklerboxtop.html#media Looks to me like the kit has stock suspension bits, but this specific kit's wheels just have longer center schnozzles on the backsides than stock wheels, moving the wheels outboard. If that's the case, you can just fit wider wheels, no problema.

Wow. Very nice.

Thanks for your efforts. Some days it works great, some days it's erratic. It seems to be worse around midnight, if that gives you any clue as to what might be going on.

Lovely women are often the recipients of derision and hate, driven by jealousy and envy.

Geez. Just the body print alone with the supports still attached would make a beautiful display piece.

Staggeringly beautiful modeling. I've seen your work in person, and there's nothing in 1/24-1/25 that even comes close.

Yup.

Yup, really liking this one.
