• Would it be fun, ok, or just plain wrong to do this at a model car show? *PIC*
  • Just plain wrong, but then I'm not know for having much of a sense of humor. *NM*
  • Geez! Wish I would proofread my posts before hitting POST! *NM*
  • I think it's funny but you should ask if you could. *NM*
    • Most definitely. All shows I've gone to have "DO NOT TOUCH" signs. Pretty much sums up what is expected. Still, if I'm with friends. They would know ahead of time what might happen because I would tell them. And still...
  • I like it ! LOL *NM*
    • Oh I didn't understand you wanted to do it to other peoples models .. no that could be dangerous LOL But on your own model is cool :-) *NM*
  • Love it but ask first. Maybe put your name or number on it. *NM*
  • My opinion, Mike(ONLY MY OPINION). At a model show, you "mess" with my model(s), let's just say, "it won't be pretty". Most (if not all) model builders put their heart and soul into their builds, and to somebody to "joke" with 'em, not cool. MY OPINION!. *NM*
  • Tend to agree with Boomer. That would be a no-no. Doing it to your own model is Funny. *NM*
  • Variation: include a clear base so the clamp will stand on its own and can be placed very close but not touching a model, then...
  • The fact that you would even post this only shows how callous and insensitive you are. You're not funny, you're not cute. (Why don't you post a build once???) *NM*
    • Like I've said before, I don't want to post any of my stuff. My builds are vastly inferior to what I see on this board. I simply won't post. Quit asking. *NM*
      • Hey Mike, please don't underestimate the interest others may have in seeing what you've built.... As a modeler, I am always on the lookout for cool ideas I can glean for use on my own builds... Ya never know... You might just inspire Frank's next big project!!!! LOL
        • Thank you for reading my whole post. It's exactly in that light where 2 good friends that can rib one another without being offended. That's exactly what I was trying to portray. *NM*
        • Also, thank you for the encouragement. *NM*
  • Not fun or funny! *NM*
  • That’s a good way to get yelled at if not worse. You shouldn’t touch someone's build or prank them like that. *NM*
  • Years ago I thought of making a puddle of antifreeze to leave under one of Bill Geary's models. :-D (J/K) *NM*
  • I have to ask. Did anyone read the part where I said
  • If it is done with your friend's permission and he places it by or on his model, okay. But at a judged show consider the bind you are putting your friend in. It is hard for him to say no to you, but this "joke" could be a distraction from the quality of his build. *NM*
    • It might be considered a positive detail if it is in a diorama that makes it part of the story or situation displayed. *NM*
