Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!
Ace-Garageguy replied to Belairconvertable's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Thank you, sir. That means a lot. -

Oh yeah. There's a car here in town that's almost a dead ringer for the proportions you have there. It's beautifully turned out and at first glance you think it's stock...but it just looks so much better you start looking closer until the AHA!!! moment, when you realize what's been done. Nice job capturing that in scale. -

Looks great...but please keep the camber at least somewhat rational-world. Wearing the edges of the treads down to the cords every 100 miles really isn't smart. -

I like your work. -
I no longer want to be a USPS customer.
Ace-Garageguy replied to Brutalform's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
It only takes one. There are no scuff marks on the envelope. The corners aren't damaged. There are no folds on the envelope. In short, there's zero indication of any trauma to the envelope whatsoever. Everything is consistent with someone maliciously snapping the disc with soft fingers. Maybe where you live, it's all puppies and unicorns. In the world I inhabit, there are people who get their pathetic little jollies by destroying things. Ever see a car left by the road, broken down, and a day later all the windows are smashed...not just one broken to get in to steal something, but ALL of 'em smashed for the giddy thrill some tiny pea-brains apparently get from mindless destruction? Or an old house, or one being built or remodeled trashed by chimps? Dumpsters set on fire? Same sub-human mindset...and not uncommon by any means. EDIT: And sure, it's entirely possible someone anywhere in the delivery chain could be the bozo. The USPS hardly has a monopoly on them. -
Thank you. Excellent idea if all else fails.

Possibly. The guy in England is trying to be helpful, offering to send the files directly to me...but feePay, in their desperate effort to wring every last penny out of every transaction, makes it almost impossible to give somebody an email address without getting harassed and WARNED!!! by the bots. I'm waiting to see if Mr. Man can figure out my anti-algorithm code.

Here's am esoteric subject - anyone else into fountain pens?
Ace-Garageguy replied to Monty's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I really used to like fountain pens in days gone by, but after having one leak so I looked like I'd been shot in the heart and had black blood, I kinda moved away from them. But I've been collecting big bird feathers when I've been out West, thinking I might try my hand at making some quill pens. -

Some of the most realistic soft kit tires I've ever seen were simply glass-bead blasted.

Thanks, Carl. That's exactly what I've been trying to do for the past few years.
