Guess I've never heard of this truck. The fender-mount mirrors tell me it's a replica of a truck intended for the Japanese Domestic Market. Interesting project. Would you mind sharing what paint you used in the truck bed (Ex: Tamiya TS-18)?

A thousand apologies. Didn’t realize you were still using a printing press and mailing in your replies there, Gutenberg. (pro tip: upgrade to Quick-dry ink and vellum. When you’re done scrutinizing grad school theses, ask your grandkids about this thing called the internet. I’ll warn you, it’s a bit different from your daily viewings of Matlock.

Not quite big enough to qualify as a land yacht, but definitely qualifies as a bland yacht.

I noticed that MCW paints offers a hardener to go along with their line of enamel paints and I've seen some YouTube videos of builds that utilized them together with outstanding results. IMNSHO, there's no need for a clearcoat as the resultant finish looks like freshly polished paint. This made me wonder if anybody offered a hardener that could be added to acrylic paints. I've heard (don't know for sure) that acrylic finishes aren't tough as enamels or lacquers so I'd like to improve on that if possible.

Fan since the early '70s, beyond disappointed for...decades. So I made this tribute to their front office:

I had no idea I had a twin. Can you imagine the absolute train wreck that would result if we were in adjacent checkout lines at the same time?

Agreed. This will be me some day, wondering why my toilet needs to be "linked in":

Don’t wanna step all over my own point but something similar happened about a month ago at my local Taco-Whatever drive-thru. When they told me the total, I grabbed some change so I’d get a $5 bill back. Apparently, I made things worse ‘cuz Binky The Wonder Chimp was incapable of doing 3rd grade math and shorted me on my change. I just handed it back and said “Try again.” Luckily his manager stepped in and resolved it.

Have to be careful how I phrase this, but I really don’t want us to eventually drift into a cashless society. I’ll leave it at that. 🫥

Outstanding work on a kit that can be a bit of a headache to build. Gotta ask, what exact paint is that blue?

Starting to see some of these Jump Starter/Air Compressor combos listed in various advertisements and wondered if anyone here could recommend a particularly good one. Kinda tryin’ to avoid Chinesium stuff, but not sure that’s even possible anymore. Links would be appreciated if ya got ‘em.

^^^Kinda true story. They did have a display of these ...but alas, I didn't see Elaine.

🤷‍♂️ I don’t get the reference.
