Off the bench......PICS......
- VERY NICE..... I think that is going to be one my fav's of your many fav's for me. *NM*
A few more from the purchased collection. All have the bodies brush painted and have used the kits Custom parts. No paint on chassis, interiors or engines. pics
- You've got a lot of work ahead of you, but what the heck, it's all fun, right?? *NM*
The Black Widow was one of the earliest show rod models, It was first released in 1960.
How can I get a finish on a car so it looks like all the paint has been removed down to bare steel? Complete with the sanding swirls?? Thanks. *NM*
- You might try covering it in Bare Metal Foil. Then as the sanding swirls. *NM*
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!!!......pics......
- David, who did the Snoopy FC. I know I meet him a couple of times but spacing out on the name (old age). Think he was from Canada. *NM*
Old build....inspired by a Hot Wheels. *NM* *PIC*
- That's fun! *NM*
For a 1968 442 model - anyone know of a company that makes these decals stripes for the car? *PIC*
- Bruce, I don't know of a source for these, but Micro Scale offers decal stripes in a variety of widths & colors. Just a thought... *NM*
  - Thanks! I see their decals online now - cool *NM*
Is it me but why do I get a message to save my password? Never did that before. *NM*
- Every time I post *NM*
  - Same here on my cell *NM*
- I'll check with our IT guy *NM*
- Frank, are you talking about the Google password manager that pops up at the top of your cell phone when you post? just something built in, I don't use it to save my password's. *NM*
  - I don't use my cellphone I wouldn't even know how to do that. HMMMM *NM*
"Old stogies I have found...." *PICS*
- ..".short but not too big around." *NM*
  - ... "You're" a man of means by no means... *NM*
- Mine......... *PIC*
That looks very nice, and I like that style of truck. How hard is it to get American kits where you live?? (Where is that, anyway?) *NM*
- OOPS...this goes below in Luc's post. *NM*
  - Revell easy, Round-2 too but expensive, Moebius thru a guy in Holland *NM*
- Where is that, anyway? Belgium chocolate and special beers, capital of the world *NM*
Fading images from the past.....enjoy
- A few triggers this week.........
- Billy Jack!! Saw that movie many times. It ran in a local theater for over a year! Both cartoons made me laugh! *NM*
- Those wrestler's display looks like my son's toy room. I could probably name 95% of them. Davey and Goliath, man what a great memory that brings me to. *NM*
- That Victorian house...all that "fru-fru" painted by hand...and no man lift...UGH! *NM*
Done! *PIC*
- Nice job Luc and Congratulations! *NM*
- For a "back in the saddle" build, that turned out, really nice! *NM*
- Looks great! *NM*
- Nicely done... Wish they would reissue this kit... *NM*
  - Thought I saw that it had been. No? *NM*
    - Yes, you're right, it has been reissued... *NM* *PIC*
- What rust? Not on your hands. *NM*
- I like it! Fiddling around with one now with an alternative bed project.
- Thanks guys! *NM*
- Luc, pretty darn clean for "rusty skills." *NM*
Rant Warning! Just saw an article about Dodge doing a Hornet SUV that rambled on about its links to the Hudson Hornet and NASCAR. Made me want to puke. Besides before that there was the Wolseley Hornet with a six-cylinder sohc engine in the 30's. *NM*
- Hudson was part of AMC, Same as Jeep when Chrysler took them over way back when. *NM*
- Wayne, I understand your desire to vent.......for me mopar is Plymouth,Dodge,DeSoto,Chrysler, Imperial & Fargo......I puke when Hillman,Simca, Humber, Sunbeam et al are added......better go sit in my corner now......lol. *NM*
- Got to agree. That's a ridiculous connection to make. *NM*
  - Other than the monkey inside. *NM*
    - Hey, I like monkeys! LOL. *NM*
- I bet the only reason the person who wrote the article has even heard the names "Hornet" and "Hudson" in connection to anything automotive is they remember it from that "Cars" movie they watched when they were 5 years old. *NM*
  - Since I spent a lot of time cruising with one of my buddies in his dad's 53 Hornet guess I get "old and cranky" about it. As an aside, the only time I've been on my head in a car was when he went into a wet curve too fast in his mom's Vauxhall Victor. *NM*
Wow. *PICS* and *LINK*
- Great movie... Captain NEMO really had it going on. *NM*
- The movie DVD I have has an extra on it that shows how the movie car was made. It was built on a Rover chassis with a Rover V8 if I remember correctly. I would have to go back and watch it. *NM*
  - IIRC it was a fire tender chassis turned upside down. *NM*
1944 Diamond T Installment #16
- You're the MAN!! *NM*
- That's beautiful. Did you know that the Red Ball was not the only supply route? In fact...*PIC*
  - Did not know that! Thanks for the added info! *NM*
  - Watching this go together is like assembling an AFV or Trumpeter kit except that you're making all your own parts. Amazing. *NM*
- Very nice ! If I didn't know you built it, I would have guessed it was a Die Cast. *NM*
- Beautiful!!!! *NM*
- Said it once and I'll keep saying it "Great detail". *NM*
Purchased a small collection and this XR 6 was in it
- Can't see the image, Curb. *NM*
- Fortunately I can. Wish this one will be reissued one day. *NM*
  - Most likely the tooling is long gone. *NM*
    - NOT a popular kit back in the day. Thumb through old Car Model issues, try to find a picture of a built or modified one, or even parts of one *NM*
- I think those wheels are the only things still around, I think they were in the AMT Competition Parts Pack that was issued in the late 1990's....or similar. *NM*
- I remember following then editor of Hot Rod magazine LeRoi Tex Smith's build-up of the XR6 in monthly articles... *LINK* *PIC*
  - Me too. I was just starting to learn about such things by "digesting" every page in Hot Rod. Also, remember the Ford Custom Car Caravan with the same "asymmetric" styling? Seems like it was just a fad and didn't last long. *NM* *LINK*
- Fortunately the previous builder didn't use any paint and used the glue sparingly. So I plan a complete rebuild making a few corrections. First to go will be the headlights and tail lights.
Any kit or aftermarket sources for Goodyear Wrangler GS-A tires or something similar (it's for a Jeep Wrangler project) *NM*
- Fireball Modelworks has many truck and off-road style tires. Don't know if he has those exact tires though. *NM*
Any Free Photo posting sites ? *NM*
- postimages is what I use. *NM*
  - Thanks Jim *NM*
- Yep me too! *NM*
- I use Imagebox mostly. *NM*
- Udrop.com *NM*
Surf wagon, eh? Whatcha think of this one? *PIC*
- Uh..no. too many lines, too busy for me. *NM*
  - IMHO, just removing the faux wood trim would clean up the lines a bunch. But then, you'd be losing the "Surf Wagon" vibe. *NM*
    - Yeah but it would look a lot better to me! *NM*
- Well, I think it's pretty darn cool! *NM*
I'm "messin' with a '41 Plymouth kit. Want to put a Hemi in it, but ain't too sharp on "car stuff". The Dodge Ram engime from an old AMT '32 Ford roadster kit "fits" real nice in the chassis. Is that a Hemi? *NM*
- It's a Hemi, first generation *NM*
  - I thank thee kindly, *NM* Chipster! *NM*
From the "Floats my Boat" file.... *NM* *PIC*
- hmmm..kinda floats mine too *NM*
- Oh yeah! That is sweet! *NM*
- Yeah, I like that one a lot! *NM*
- Like! *NM*
- Works for me! *NM*
- Oh ya!!! I'm diggin' it.... *NM*
- Looks like we have a full boat. *NM*
- Welllll, stationed in Calif.(Navy) '56/'60 and surfing in La Jolla, a '29/'30 "Woody" would "float my boat". L.O.L. *NM*
  - Well OK Boomer, this one's just for you. *NM* *PIC*
- Very cool, and we all know our buddy Albert would have loved it! *NM*
Had anyone ever heard of, seen, or had the MPC Bed Buggy? *PIC*
- I wonder if the molds are gathering dust, or if they were altered for another kit. *NM*
- A GRAIL for many showrod collectors......... *NM*
  - I have one . *NM*
- My younger brother had one of those when they first came out. I think I may still have the two red lanterns from it. Heaven only knows what happened to the rest of it. *NM*
- Re: Had anyone ever heard of, seen, or had the MPC Bed Buggy?
- Bought one at a garage sale many years ago... Ended up giving it to a friend who was into show rods. *NM*
One for Boomer--I don't know if Dave can show you a closer look at the glass case on the wall with the models in it, but here are the models that were in it when he took the photo. *PICS*
- I thank you kindly, Terry. *NM*
Da Yoopers. My Car won't go! *LINK*
- More Yoopers. *NM* *LINK*
- Prretty cool! .....Or actually, pretty cold!! *NM*
Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
- Nice selection! *NM*
- Great selection! Thanks Bill *NM*
- Thanks Bill!! *NM*
- Thanks Bill. That red Charger still looks great after all these years. *NM*
- We need 1/25 versions of these. One of my favorite pickup styles.
  - Oops! Photo in above post. *NM*
Friday Night Randomness *PIC*
- Thanks for sharing the PICS!! *NM*
- The black & white image was really great. *NM*
- Way cool! *NM*
- Nice selection Dave. Thanks for sharing. *NM*
- Pardon my ignorance but is the cool dude, Mr T. Jessee? *NM*
  - Indeed it is, in another photo you'll see a Ken Hamilton diorama. Followed by a photo of Ken with my box art replicas, followed by a couple of Chuck Larson builds. *NM*
- Nice grouping! *NM*
- Dave, you just made my day!! That is the best lookin' '40 Ford S/D I've ever seen!! Also would like a closer look at that glass shelf on the wall with all those neat lookin' models. The '20's/'30's/'40's are "right up my alley" Good Randomness "backup", by the way. *NM*
- Awesome stuff, Dave! And for those who don't know, that "Uncertain T" is a completely scratchbuilt 1/8th scale model. Chuck Darnell built it, and believe me, photos don't do it justice. *NM*
- Dave, can you give me some info on that yellow bug? I have enough parts to build the body, but wondering what kit you used for the engine etc. Isn't that kit about 1/20 scale?? Thanks. *NM*
  - I didn't build it. Its an old Pyro survivor. The engine and wheels are from original issue AMT Deuce Roadster and Coupes, respectively. *NM*
- You done Marty proud !!! *NM*
- Great post with just models and cars👍I like the bug too! Oh and builders too. *NM*
- Ya done good, Dave..... Love the b&w pic.... Always liked that pic of my two dragsters too..
- Great PIX, Dave. And superb Ala Kart article in MCM. Thanks for both, friend. *NM*
Long Friday night read.with pix...my most ambitious and detailed model car project ever.... *LINK*
- Call me awestruck, that is an incredible build. The detail is amazing, and considering the time frame even more so *NM*
- Well preserved showpiece that was very ambitious and well executed.. *NM*
- That is a phenomenal Scale Survivor with extra provenance. Love them Tim! *NM*
- I remember reading the Scale Auto article as a kid, but 30 years later and reading this article, I now understand what went into it...wow. Thanks for sharing it with us! *NM*
- Boy does that bring back memories!!!! *NM*
- Extremely cool! *NM*
- Holy Wah, Tim! What an Amazing Build.
- Quite a work of art! *NM*
- That is outstanding work, especially for the time. Thanks for showing it. It's the first that I've known of it. *NM*
- Oh my my those are outrageous builds and to think they were done over 50 years ago! *NM*
- I am humbled... *NM*
- Too cool all around!!! *NM*
- Phenomenal. *NM*
In the early 80's while home on leave from the ARMY, my brother gave me two unbuilt models he had, he didn't get the modeling gene from dad.
- They do look good *NM*
- Great job re-creating some good memories *NM*
- Nice work RS.........Milner would be pleased. *NM*
- Very cool! *NM*
- Very nice RS. They would look good in any collection. *NM*
Since Marty has to work thought I'd put this together. *LINK* *PIC*
- Great selection of unusual subjects. Amazing that GM built the Rampside. *NM*
  - That was when GM was still ran mainly by car guys. *NM*
    - My uncle had a rampside, I remember him and my dad using it to move mom's piano. *NM*
  - Way back when I was in high school I had a summer job with a lumber company. A guy with a rampside came in oneday for some cement blocks. I dutifully hand bombed them up the ramp and into the truck. Then I couldn't get the ramp to close, so I had to remove a bunch of blocks,
- Interesting mix. I want a kei truck *NM*
- Cool set! *NM*
- I'll take the black Hispano, thanks........is delivery available?.........lol.........3 or 4 of the other small cars can be packed in its trunk if you wish....thanks........lol. *NM*
  - Andy that's actually a 1932 Bucciali TAV 12 Fleche dOr Berline by Saoutchik. Its a front-wheel drive with a Voisin designed twelve-cylinder, sleeve-valve engine. *NM*
    - Well, I stand corrected.......I was going by the "stork" on the hood sides.........maybe it was just a flattened chicken..........lol. *NM*
      - Hey *NM*
        
        Never mind! *NM*
      - That got me also the first photo I saw of the car. Here's a little article that gives a quick history of the stork emblem. *NM* *LINK*
- Neat stuff all around! *NM*
First and foremost, I THANK EACH and EVERYONE of you guys!! Found 7 jars of Tamiya acrylics(mostly IJN & IJA )colors. BUT, lo and behold, 24 jars of Model Master. Bought two bottles of 91 % alcohol at Walgreen's. The ONLY thinner I found, was 2 cans(1 large, 1 small ) of
- If the Model Master are enamels, I use mineral turpentine if I'm just brushing or to wash the brushes but if airbrushing then I use enamel thinners(any brand, from the auto parts shop) & reduce 2:1 paint to thinners to spray. *NM*
  - ALL paints are acrylic, Andyd. *NM*
    - Oh...........I'll go sit in my corner.........lol. *NM*
      - C'mon, mate. NO offense intended!! Now, get back to the model bench and build somethin'. L.O.L. *NM*
- Testor's airbrush thinner smells a heck of a lot like hardware store Naptha
OT: Had some computer trouble today....
- Mac. *NM*
  - Never a Mac. They're not perfect either and way overpriced. *NM*
PIF 2: Mustang / Cobra / BUICK GS Bodies
- I'll give them a happy home if you please.... Thanks *NM*
PIF 1: Torino Bodies
- Re: PIF 1: Torino Bodies
Is the bubble top on the '59 Bonneville the same as the bubble top on the '61 Impy?? Thanks. *NM*
- No, two different bodies entirely *NM*
  - Rats!! *NM*
- Jim, do you need the Bonnie or the Chevy? I have one of the early AMT '61 Chevy bubbletop kits with the bad cowling and windshield. You could have the body and glass if the roof and rear glass from the windshield header back might work. Reply here that I have email and then
  - Thanks...I have a Bonneville ragtop, but I want it to be a hardtop. I have a '61 Impy with a very twisted body that I think I can save the top, and even though it's wrong, I'm gonna try it anyway. Never done this type of work, but I think I can do it. Thanks again. *NM*
PIF '60 Merc fb/g, and rb/tail lights but no lenses.....in excellent condition. *NM*
- I can use them if no one else speaks up... I'll pay shipping to Canada *NM*
- Send me your mailing address, and we'll see how it goes. *NM*
  - Email sent... *NM*
On the Bench! Trumpeter 1960 Bonneville convertible (PICS)
- Keep us posted, please. The Trumpeter '63 NOVA was a nightmare! *NM*
- I had trouble fitting the body/interior to the chassis, would not sit flat, filed the bottom of the interior and the upper corners where the dash sits. *NM*
My latest build a 48 Chevy Woodie *PIX*
- WOW!!! That's AWESOME!! *NM*
- That wood looks great and goes along well with the rest of the great build. *NM*
- Please... I hope nobody takes offence but I have a "Love/Hate" relationship with Galaxie... Love the fact that they chose my favorite late forties Chevys as a subject matter but hate how they missed the mark in so many ways... *Pics*
- Looks great. I wonder if you have any wip pics of the interior? I have a resin body only of a 4door '46-'48 Chevy sedan from some years ago that the wagon interior might work better for an interior starting point than the two door kit. *NM*
  - Sorry, I don't have any WIP pix. *NM*
A NOT FOR ME PROJECT.... Went to my monthly KOFFEE CLUTCH/KATCH last Saturday and Steve brought up putting a 67 Shelby 350 front and rear facia on a 66 Mustang. Well got it home and decide it would be easier to exchange roofs so that's what I did. PIX and thanks for looking
- You cut and splice so well, Frank *NM*
- Somebody going to make a Lil'Red or 68' Calif. special? *NM*
- If this goes well, maybe you oughta build this one... *NM* *LINK* *PIC*
ON THE BENCH... I'm on the tail end of building this flatbed for my friend Larry. Just a few things I have to do before I release it then he can add pieces and paint it. PIX and thanks for looking
- Excellent work! *NM*
  - I'm liking it a lot Frank Luque *NM*
- Wow great job. Gotta ask do the ramps slide out? *NM*
  - My friend Larry didn't even want ramps but I couldn't bring myself not to at least make them.... No they won't I'm just going to create a couple of fake doors to make it appear that they would slide into/out. He mostly wanted the hauling part. *NM*
- WOW!! *NM*
- Did QC give the "OK" on the work that's been done? I see he's overlooking the project. *NM*
- Cool work Frank but don't see how you expect anyone to look at the truck with that beautiful Vair wagon on there! LOL! *NM*
  - I second THAT! *NM*
ON THE BENCH....One of a few things I've been plugging away at. I had in mind a different car but in doing some research I found this combo except for the interior, The picture I saw had a grey interior and I didn't think the grey (INSIDE). PIX and thanks for looking
- Looks great now get it assembled! *NM*
  - I should have it done tonight... If I don't get distracted with something else. Distracting me is easy to do. *NM*
- Looking real good. *NM*
Have you ever gotten so frustrated building a model you just wanted to sling it at the wall?
- I just happen to post my progress and I will be cutting the side stripe. You right a simple side marker decal would have been a plus after all they added the interior door panel lights. I don't like the wheels so I just added different ones from Chevy line-up. THANKS *NM*
  - OH! sorry NICE BUILD and that would look nice in my display case. That's only if you feel the need that it was just a curse. I will exorcise it for you. *NM*
- If I got frustrated with a model I would throw it at the floor. The parts bounce further and you don't have to fix the wall. *NM*
  - Now THAT'S funny!! *NM*
- I got one right now. Problem is a lot of sracthbuilding is NOT going to Win *NM*
- Most of my builds lately. I think cause as I am getting older I can't see as well or have the dexterity as I used to! Besides having OCD and being a perfectionist LOL everything is a breeze!!! Double LOL. *NM*
- Question for you R.S. How opaque are the white decals in that kit? Do you think they would work over a red paint job? Thanks. *NM*
  - I think they will work ok. *NM*
- Nice job, R/S. Despite the troubles it came together nicely. On another note, is there an aftermarket source for the proper flared exhaust tips? That's the one thing that stands out to me.
  - Les Gibbons showed a little trick when making injector stacks. He took aluminum tube then took a nail and hammer into the end. The oversized nail gave it enough of a flare to pass. I've tried and it was hit and miss for me, maybe you will be better at it. *NM*
    - As I'm typing I'm thinking maybe the aftermarket injector stacks will work with a little tweaking by filing the tip off at an angle. *NM*
      - Those are both good suggestions. I was just looking for the 'lazy man's' solution, though ideally they should have been included in the kit. I don't have one of these yet anyhow, so I have some time to think about it... ;) *NM*
  - Have you tried Parts By Parks?....they used to have # 5001 Megaphone Exhaust Tips, they have an angle cut, flared end. *NM*
    - They look promising, as long as the diameter compares favourably with the bumper cutouts... Thanks!
- Yes, the Mooneyes Dragster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *NM*
- My first(and only)tryat building the first issue of the Ala Kart. It became a "high, inside" fast ball at a tree!! *NM*
- I could never "deconstruct" a build, but I did not like this one grudge level when it was finished. It went in the box and it is still there.
- It looks good! *NM*
- The non-North American version has decals by Cartograf *LINK* *PIC*
  - I don't understand those seat belt decals. We [most of us anyway] strive for realism, those seatbelt decals just look toy-like. *NM*
- I like your white stripes and panels. They go with the interior and tire letters for a nice look that accents the yellow body and wheels without overpowering it. The black would probably work better with a black interior, though. *NM*
1929 Duesenberg...from The Gilmore Museum...
- Thanks for posting. If you visit the A-C-D Museum in Auburn, Indiana, you can really overdose on these cars and their history, tech, etc. *NM*
  - I have been to the ACD Museum many times, including part of my last trip...an awesome place :) *NM*
- Those were some kind of cars... *NM*
Actually December, January, February and March are typically very slow for us, but we have been trying to get a new product line up to speed for the last several months (finally a return to manufacturing)....
Actually, both AMT and MPC issued 1976 Corvette convertible annual kits. The MPC was reworked back to '75 spec later *NM*
I've asked this question before, but I didn't write the answer down, so, PLEASE let me ask one more time and I have my pen handy. Getting ready to airbrush(finally), and forgot what you guys use to thin Tamiya acrylics with. I bought some 91% alcohol to clean the airbrush.I
- I've used both 91% alcohol and Tamiya thinner. The alcohol seems to work as well as the actual thinner. *NM*
- I like Tamiya lacquer thinner in their acrylics. *NM*
  - X2 *NM*
- Lacquer thinner. I put that stuff in everything. *NM*
- Lacquer thinner. I put that stuff in everything. *NM*
  - I agree! *NM*
- I use Tamiya X-20A Thinner it is mostly alcohol but has other things that make it work better with the acrylic. save the alcohol for brush cleaning.I always finish cleaning the brush by spraying a cup of lacquer thinner you will be glad you did. *NM*
- Tamiya thinner, lacquer thinner, isopropyl alcohol. You'll will figure out which one you like best after a while. I'd say the Tamiya thinner is almost a "must" for good glossy colors, but the flats don't seem to care what you thin them with. Lacquer thinner might cause it
  - Bill is dead on . I find lacquer thinner to hot for Tamiya acrylics . *NM*
More Malibus. *PICS*
- This kit has the old style chrome headlights? Even the newer one with the surf boards? *NM*
  - '64 (top) did, '65 (bottom) never had them *NM*
    - For my '64 build, I separated the bumper from the grille, drilled the headlights, made backing, foiled those, used spare box lenses and here' the result, I do this for every model with chrome headlights, not difficult and I find it relaxing and rewarding both, the pleasure
- The patina on the sixty-five is perfect....and reminds me
Basically true, except for the 63 and 64 Galaxies.
Just finished. Yet another Monogram Funny car. I love the color that the body is molded in, so I just applied the decals and cleared coated it. ................ *PICS* ........
- Way to go Scott!! *NM*
- Nice job, Scott *NM*
- A cop out funny without the police bits..nice. *NM*
  - McEwen Mongoose, molded in Sublime Green. *NM*
- Great work! 👍 *NM*
- Real nice! *NM*
- Me likes and good choice leaving the body unpainted. *NM*
- Nice clean build. *NM*
- Ain't nothin' wrong with molded body color. Wish they'd lose the molded-in "swirly-ness" though. *NM*
  - When they do mold them in color these days, it’s slightly translucent so polishing them stinks. Low quality plastic with a lot of clear added to the mix to save costs, I suspect. *NM*
    - The clear makes it more shiny. Also more brittle. *NM*
I can't find the original post. What do they look like? *NM*
1957 Chevrolet - Mild Custom see inside for photos
- George, the '57 body style "wears" that color really well. Nicely done custom, friend. *NM*
- NICE! *NM*
- Better late than never. Looks great! *NM*
- Looking good!! *NM*
- Re: 1957 Chevrolet - Mild Custom. One Sweet Ride!
- Nicely done, George..... Maybe one of these days you'll bring it to Kemps' meet and I'll get to check it out in person! *NM*
  - I will be there again, last time I was there (2018 Fall) you and Frank and some others went someplace else sadly! *NM*
- Nice build. Looks good in the copper color too. *NM*
- Love the colour choice! *NM*
Actually finished one! 1969 Dodge Super Bee Street Machine
- Congrats Larry....that is one sharp street machine themed 'Bee....TB *NM*
- Very cool. Right out of the '80s! *NM*
- One bad to the bone Bee! *NM*
- DROOL!! *NM*
- Looks great!! *NM*
- Sharp! *NM*
- Very cool! 😎 *NM*
- Perfect!!!! *NM*
- Beautiful build Larry, and you can never go wrong with that wheel choice, on any muscle car! *NM*
- Nice build and great to see it built without one of those high impact colors. *NM*
- Great build. I think the '70 C stripe looks great on the '69 *NM*
How many of you subscribe to a YouTube channel? How often do you watch videos (especially on model building)? *NM*
- Yep- Hpiguy, A4, Model Car Muse, Kenji, Luca Cee. I watch most of them with each new episode. Also some good 1:1 car channels too. *NM*
- Doug and his team are working on completing a Model Car Muse chapter that will hopefully be of great interest to those interested in the history of our hobby....TB *NM*
  - I can't wait to see it!! *NM*
  - Sounds like just my cup of tea. *NM*
- PLASMO on YouTube *NM*
  - Hpiguy here *NM*
- Re: How many of you subscribe to a YouTube channel,I watch Hpiguy *NM*
- I often watch HPI Guys (great for finding out whats in the box, IMO), Barbados Rex (good paint and tool vids, Luka Cee, and Nightshift, he typically does armor, but his diorama and weather methods are tops IMO! *NM*
Very cool build Jim! *NM*
Stock is boring! The AMT 53' is still one of my favorite model kits ever *NM*
That sounds like the bottom line. *NM*
This here box? *PIC*
- Tim, this was the second 'photo' box from AMT that I saw and it captivated me
- Terry...yes that was it. Actually painted Testors Yellow even though the box art photographs more as Gold...TB *NM*
No, I wasn't worried. I've been coating old decals with clear lacquer for a lot longer than I can remember. Just spray several LIGHT coats on the decals so the ink (or whatever) won't run or dissolve. There is a guy with a youtube video that clears decals too. *NM*
- Good to know. Thanks. *NM*
