- Re: What is recommended to clean 3d printed parts? I received some parts from Iceman Collections. Great details. Now I see what everyone that was getting 3d printed stuff was so hyped over.
- Honey West Cobra: White with red interior *NM*
- Have we forgotten what today is?
- An easier solution might be a coat of Tamiya sprays Pearl Clear. *NM*
- I'm getting confused with engine compartment black. For 50s-70s cars, what tone of black is it, and any recommendations on paint? Thanks! *NM*
- Alternative Studebaker *PIC*
- Want a walk down memory lane, then....

- For endurance sports car racing fans, here's a link to a You Tube video carrying 6 HR from Fuji Raceway if you don't have the cable channel. Also a link to Radio Le Mans for audio in English. *LINK*
- Re the AMT Garbage truck now kitted I wonder how long before a built version hits the contest tables with a scale aroma..lol..a guy turned up at a Grafton Model Show with an AMT Wilson Livestock Trailer with the "livestock" aroma & stains....it won best trailer, lol. *NM*
- Re: I have been bending stuff for 37 years. I got stories. *NM*
- OK, so, I made from scratch a recessed firewall for the '29 roadster I'm working on. I have enough pics to do a "how-to" on making it. , , , Would there be any interest in me doing that? If so, I'll do one up and post it in a few days. *NM*
- WAY off topic.... While going through a forgotten junk drawer preparing for our upcoming move, my wife happened upon an envelope of old photos that my sister had given me a while back.... In it was a pic of particular importance to me.... *PIC*
- Is anyone familiar with this Salt Flat Racer, "The Saltan of Speed" that is pictured on the side of the newest AMT '53 Studebaker collector tin, has it ever been released before, or is it just new decals? I don't remember seeing it before.
- Finally finished this after 12 years *pics*
- Like it!!! *NM*
- Nice! *NM*
- Sweet "hot rod Lincoln" *NM*
- Neat! *NM*
- The color suits it just fine. *NM*
- I don't think it gets much cooler than that!
- Two thumbs up!! *NM*
- Love color, stance, wheel and engine choices,,,, All working together so well makes this model stand out in it's subtlety!!! *NM*
- Very cool! *NM*
- Love those quickie builds..... LOL Love everything about it. *NM*
- Timeless style *NM*

- Oh, my! That's NICE!! *NM*
- Sweet & clean, Bob. Love the artillery wheels--nice change. *NM*
- Wow, but it was worth the wait, it looks fabulous! *NM*
- Bingo - the biggest headache in the business is warranty which pits the dealer against the factory against the customer
- Finished PICS
- Miscellaneous Mopar Madness *PICS*
- Part request please. I am in need of the rod/rods that prop the body up on from the Cop Out Monogram funny car. Any of those old Monogram 1/24 funny cars will work. They all use the same chassis and I think the same interior tin. Thanks everyone! *NM*
- Happy Birthday to Daniel BIOP Peterson.
- Friday Evening Randomness..... ENJOY!!!! *PICS*
- After 5 years of seeing shoulder doctor he released
- Engineers - what sort of transformer output would be needed to replace 4 D-Cell batteries in my paint shaker? Is it even possible? *NM*
- Here's my Hendrix resin awaiting some attention... *PIC*
- I know this has been asked/discussed before but my memory is bad. Do you guys use filler on bare plastic or do you prime the plastic first? TIA. *NM*
- Question, referance my photos? I usually post about 35 a week. Do you think that is too many? or just right, Do you get bored easy and just zip through them, or take your time? Do you visit them more than once...thanks for responding, just want to know how..
- Post as many as you are comfortable with. *NM*
- I wouldn't mind if you posted more. I often revisit the thread and enjoy the pics you post. *NM*
- I enjoy ALL the pics! *NM*
- Just keep on truckin', Jim. It's fun and fascinating and wonderful nostalgia. *NM*
- I say if it doesn't burden you, the more the merrier. *NM*
- I have a lot of my own stuff, but like to look at other people's stuff. Post away Jim. Now as far as being bored, my last name Wood.lol *NM*
- I like what you do. Keep it up! *NM*
- I may scan through posts quickly at times, but I do enjoy seeing the pics everyone posts. *NM*
- The more, the merrier. *NM*
- My Friday evening posts are generally between 45 and 55 pics....
- Just right Jim, yours, Frank's and Marty's have become my favorite posts! Those pics are like having a portal to the past and around the car world through pics! Big thanks to all of yall! *NM*
- I'll mention that the non-automotive ones are just as interesting, such as ads, memes, etc. Thanks for your efforts. *NM*
- I'm trying to search for stuff on Shapeways... Is there a "Search option" somewhere? I trying to see what's available in 1/24-1/25 but they don't offer those scales on the search page. *NM*
- Thank you David. I snagged all of these. Looks fun enough to try. *NM*
- OMG... Avert your eyes... *Pics*
- But they most likely would be way out of scale. I'd rather have them not there at all and take 30 seconds to cut a a couple pieces of wire that are much more accurate. But that's just me. *NM*
- Re: I have a weakness for box art builds too. *NM*
- They really got this one right as far as I'm concerned, I am in for at least 3 or 4..... *NM*
- OT: Power company shutting off power due to possible gusty wind/wildfire conditions. Probably a day or two--just long enough for the freezer to defrost and lose all the stuff that's in it. *NM*
- Thanks, guys for all your tips. *NM*
- FWIW, the image above with the "derivative kit" logo and the "envy factor" is a lift from the recent book "Collecting Drag Racing Model Kits". I believe Matt and Dawn may still have some copies available for sale....TIM *NM*
- Are the wheels painted or chromed? *NM* *PIC*
- Good parts kit. Good kit to build. I'll say I'll end up buying a couple at least. *NM*
- Built this one for Hot Rod Model Kits. *PIC*
- I may buy one for parts. That Duvall windshield kills it for me. *NM*
- GREAT DAY FOR PAINTING......PIX and thanks for looking
- All these new kits coming out and no money now to buy what I want. Not that I am complaining we have needed some new stuff for quite some time now. Well birthday and Christmas is coming soon so I will be hopeful. *NM*
- Just as I would want one. *NM*
- You did a great box style build. *NM*
- That came out awesome. You guys just amaze me that can do builds like these. *NM*
- Guys I finally finished the 65 Chevy II Gasser a few days ago and was able to get some pics today. Started this beast of burden back when
- I know it will never happen but I do wish Revell would make a stock frame and suspension for their '32 Ford kits. *NM*
- Looks bright orange with clear yellow over it *NM*
- Oh crap, I guess I should learn to read better. Sounds like it did not work. But did you try putting clear over that? Sometimes you'd be amazed. *NM*
- Try it. It works with both Tamiya lacquer, and Testors (lacquer and enamel). I usually mix clear & metallic to get a little more spoarkle in that final coat (if that's what you want). *NM*
- Not in the US anyway. But there were 1939 Chevy convertibles manufactured... *LINK*
- "FROM BEHIND THE SPOTLIGHT" For those who are interested, the Atlantis 1/32 Tom Daniel Funny Cars arrived today along with the AMT 1956 Ford Hardtop and the 1957 Chevy Hardtop
- Build of the test shot *LINK* *PIC*
- Diggin that! *NM*
- I don't build very many of these but I see my self building a few like I did the 29-30's *NM*

- The Queen is dead, long live the King. *NM*
- I'll be getting one to have that DuVall windshield... They've finally captured what the DuVall windshield really looks like... *NM* *PIC*
- It's the Stacey David hiboy, reloaded and remixed to take out the cliche bits and make it a better kit
- 1000 Thanks! I read that issue cover to cover a hundred times before it disintegrated! More 1968 trip memories.
- Much better than the David issue...... *NM*
- What rear suspension does this car have? Does it (or the Rat Roaster it's based on) have a buggy spring? I don't have a RR to look at. *NM*
