- What is the date to post the BYB?? Thanks. *NM*
- I have an old bottle of Tamiya Acrylic paint that appears to still be good, but since I live about a zillion miles from a decent hobby shop, is there anything around the house I can reduce this stuff with?? Or at least something at Home Depot?? Thanks. *NM*
- Kit question please.....are the AMT Johnny Lightning and the Polar Lights 1964 GTO the same kit/tooling? If not, which one has the more accurate body, proportion wise. Thanks! *NM*
- Check this out.... Lee Hartman will be presenting a webinar on on building scale models classic trucks, as part of the ATHS National Convention (unfortunately it had to be virtual this year.... I was really looking forward to attending in person) *LINK*

- ROGER HAYES: About the Metallic Blue paint job I posted a few days ago. I didn't have Mica Blue as you suggested, nor any Clear Pearl. But I did shoot a coat of Clear Blue. That did the trick. Too dark compared to David's great reference PIX, but passable. Thanks again. *NM*
- Anyone have an idea if the DAAM model show for November has a chance of happening? *NM*
- Newest toy......test PICS
- Train pic with a van in it...
- Frank, I sent you an email. *NM*
- HUGE DILEMA...... I don't think I took enough off, should be narrower and to much work to cut it apart. SO! I think I will cut the front axle and put a sleeve on it to push the front wheels out. That seems to be the easiest way out. PICS and thanks for looking.
- What kits have dual cockpit windshields, such as AMT's Fireball 500 and Revell's Pontiac Club De Mer? *NM*

- Do I see that correctly!?!? The MPC 1/25 1972 Chevy Vega Bill Jenkin's Pro Stock Drag Car is due around June this year!?!?!? *NM*
- Good stuff Nick! Car wise the '67 Marlin stand out for me and black leather shorts and boots work well for me! *NM*
- Currently in week 2 of trying to strip a coat of Tamiya Bright Red from an AMT Corvair body. That paint is tough!
- Somebody DID a resin IMSA Cougar body back then...because I saw one! It was a raffle item at some contest I attended, and the person who won it NEVER built it! he was a vendor who wound up trying to sell it later...wish I had thought to ask him what happened to it...
- Been too busy lately to visit the Board much but enjoyed the fine variety of sights Marty! Hope everyone is well!! *NM*
- Hypothetical Question: Would a can of the 2K "Jam Clear" do a full 1/8 scale Corvette?
- Airbrush Question. I have 3 airbrushes. Two Iwata dual action brushes and one cheap Badger single action. At this time only the Badger is working. Both Iwatas have worked for a short time about 3 months ago but wouldn't work very long before they clogged up. I would
- Besides Shapeways, do you know of a vendor that offers 1/24 or 1/25 3d printed parts that you would recommend? I know of one.....

- Another 66 Ford Galaxie on the Bench! (PICS)
- I've got an original MPC '66 GTO rim and wheel assembly in one of my junk boxes. No melting that I've seen, compared to some newer MPCs (those '82 BFG T/As) and older AMTs and Revells (stock rims from a Revell '67 Chevy, numerous AMTs) *NM*
- The race was redflagged in '64, and finished the next day (Monday) due to the first lap wreck between Eddie Sachs and Dave Macdonald. *NM*
- Thank you all for the kind comments. *NM*
- $17k+ and it still doesn't look that realistic. It looks way too narrow in width even at that angle. Ugh! *NM*
- Something very Old, I originally built this in 1971 or 1972. AMT 66 Ford Galaxie (PICS)
- HO scale GM New Look ("Fishbowl") bus *LINK* *PIC*

- That is FANTASTIC! *NM*

- Nicely done Scott!! *NM*
- That's cool! Is that a resin body? *NM*

- GOT "GEORGE's CORVETTE SHOP" cut/narrow, still just a little more tweaking on the cut then I can continue the rest of the bodywork.... received some info this afternoon and the car did run a SBC plus the article said it was a 64 but doesn't make sense. PIC and thx for lookg
- Outstanding! When can the rest of us get one? *NM*

- Would you believe that I have actual fresh car show photos.... Images from Poopy's 5th Annual Car show..... *PICS* *LINK*

- The C-pillar on the Galaxie 500 pillared hardtop is more rounded and not as upright and square as the LTD pillarless hardtop sedan. *NM*
- We're Early!! Results/Winners Announced for dscV16 - The Desert Scale Classic Virtual Venue MCC *LINK*
- I keep hearing different things regarding what paints are being dropped & what is staying, so I don't really know. I guess we'll find out at some point after the dust settles.
- I agree, just a guy running a stop sign totaled my truck, though the guy who rear ended me next didn't help things. *NM*
- PSA: 3 Ton jack stand recall by Harbor Freight... *LINK*
- Thanks for the heads up, that could be a short but nasty surprise! *NM*
- I don't buy anything there that supports a lot of weight, or rotates at high speed *NM*
- The tooling wore out on the center jack cast piece. This caused the serrated steps cast on the center stand to get more blunt or rounded which caused the locking lever to slip over them under load. If you use them on the lowest setting, you shouldn't have any problems. *NM*
- Call me crazy, but whenever i have a car on a jack or stands, if i have a wheel off, I put the wheel under the frame for insurance. If something fails, then i have something else it can fall on. Iβm still leery of jacks though- saw a car fall off a jack and nearly squish..
- I have never trusted jack stands so I have never used them. For the past 35 + years I have been using and careying around the same set of 4 X 4 blocks of wood that I cut down from 8' long boards. I also have 2 X 4's to with them if I need more precision. *NM*
- Whenever I put a car up on jack stands I give the car a shove, trying to knock it off. If it does not fall then I feel I am good. But I still leave the hydraulic jack under it at a strategic location just in case. *NM*
- One can never be too safe. Back in 1975, a friend was working under his car when it slipped off the jackstand. The frame crushed his neck. It happened while he was home alone so, fortunately, was instantaneous. Since then, I keep anything under the car to keep it upright. *NM*
- DIFFERENT DIRECTION on my Corvette dragster/rail.... I don't want to be labeled a cheat but I'm using a regular body (63 which doesn't really mean anything. Explain INSIDE). PICS and thanks for looking
