How about custom dry-transfers from any source graphic or font? Very high quality, used extensively for aircraft and electronics panels, models, product presentation prototypes, etc. I posted this years ago, but there was very little interest.

Some of us build in large scales where these are entirely appropriate. Anything smaller is pretty much impossible to machine by conventional means, which is where simulated resin or styrene fasteners come in.

Exactly. I still have some of my father's largish glow-plug engines, kinda like this.

No. Actual threaded fasteners, not simulated pretend fasteners. https://model-motorcars.myshopify.com/collections/small-parts-hardware

I'm really curious about where they can cram enough batteries to get more than a one mile range with a maximum loaded weight of 80,000 pounds. Guess I need to do some research.

Beautiful. What's the story on the molded spark plug boots?

Fire yourself, and immediately rehire yourself, suitably chastised.

Count your blessings. The vast majority are barely able to deal with two dimensions. Dog help us all if they had to cope with three.

"Find your backside with both hands, if you can" is my first job applicant interview question these days.

Major reason I'm happily single. "Honey...I hired that poolboy we talked about, and, ummm...I'm leaving you to be with him...assuming you'll support me in the style I've become accustomed to".

I will add that happy circumstance to the list of things I'm thankful for daily.

"Find the most recent post in this thread" is a very simple part of playing this game, yet it's oddly ignored frequently; missing a previous post an hour old fails to impress.

Because...reasons.

Internet advice, however, is often not worth the electrons it takes to display it, many times being incorrect gibberish mindlessly rebleated by someone adept at cut-and-paste, or by someone who "heard" it from their dog's groomer's boyfriend's mother's hairdresser's pool guy, and thereby became an instant expert...but who lacks any first-hand experience or expertise.

"Composed" isn't exactly how I feel after listening to (deleted for political references).

All good points above. BUT, one of the best "tricks" you can master as far as sanding and polishing goes is to learn how to shoot your paint slick enough so extensive post-work just isn't required. This is Duplicolor rattlecan mica color, with the old Testors lacquer clear topcoat, just exactly as-sprayed with zero sanding or polishing. Obviously, it's not going to take a helluva lot of work to get it the rest of the way.

Allure often vaporizes when one opens her mouth and says something moronic in a squeaky voice.

Trying to adapt fenders made for some Asian car to a Studebaker? You might as well make your own. But if you insist, there's a lot of stuff like this out there... https://www.ebay.com/itm/385031895093?hash=item59a5b07835:g:CYAAAOSwBOZi7Pcc&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoHLcSOAydMWlDUbAJeCsyCrqg%2FuDPvAlXB1o99L5ddeUDbuYlGxqMtvrb9kaJCMKWDm0Hf%2FRw6bqviZ3JQywhqt8BAFNDX1fxfPEwqvdRrqPArTFEaV3FNhTBQCa4wHfyVzNJKAkEX6sH1Agk%2BspAwJF00YNEzjg7qAxSG6wQ1kZ99A4wI2K78VYeGnIo6tQJnUxbEJT1VygvZm6GMikFks%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_abhNriYA https://www.ebay.com/itm/394118519123?hash=item5bc34b5953:g:AxgAAOSwPBpiq07a&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoMicN3OPOEoB0gHNjFip%2BGUW6nk5Sal6EcDUPhi2lxE%2Fr9FeY1OxxQ8RFZqyBX8rGzr5lji8Cr9LCHGNgzg1PeAtN%2F8mTlSoFv9yBXwCD41h6howWze7H1GVooG4RdrsFSkjjRo%2FVDYuGzBYzpqWPVkc3V%2FIiWpQqt6bBNKd298tg527Dc1qN%2FRXSjdfsmrm8p8Yp2PeJr%2Bgqc4WEGZMSQA%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_qbhNriYA

Figure-skating women and professional dancers always have the best legs, in my experience, anyway.

Affliction or addiction, cars big and little get in your blood.

People also use solder, or heavy gauge copper wire, but the diameter of those is usually too small for 1/25-1/24.

Are you trying to use styrene tube? You'll have much better luck with rod.

Roads can lead to interesting new places, especially if you choose the ones less traveled.
