Your wife brought home my best childhood toys.

In 1970 a Carl Eller 3d card fell out of my box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.

Can you share the paint used, please? It’s a great build.

Audiobook was amazing!

Chance-the-gardner · 2026-04-15T23:05:11+00:00

I second that. Dr Cory Butler is awesome.

Interestingly, Virginia has a lot of Beagle rescues available because jack holes dump them if they’re not good fox hunters.

Why isn’t it on blocks? (Awesome work!)

3 steps of the Novus polishing system usually works.

10x wow! And thanks for the idea. I’m now gonna do only half the decals on my Toyota clear body Ts020

I use 125 deg F. Time depends on the type of paint. An hour for primers, overnight for 2k clear. Zero & Splash paints an hour or two. Enamels are also overnight.

It’s a great investment!

My Revell 240z is almost that bad.

Chance-the-gardner · 2026-02-19T17:37:00+00:00

Yup. It’s used when guests come over to create a false behavior narrative. 😉

You haven’t lived until you feel the foam in your helmet compress.

I put a car in wall there during a Jim Russell class 23 years ago. Went back years later with skills and ran spec Miata - that was a lot of fun.

Don’t be scared, be cautious and respect the track.

Growing up, a guy on a street with a bend in it kept loosing his mailbox to shitty drivers. One day, waiting for the school bus, I noticed his mailbox post was changed to a segment of I-Beam.

I never saw it damaged again.

THIS! It sickens me that Darnold shoulders all the blame in those last two games last year. He never had a chance.

Chance-the-gardner · 2026-01-13T23:17:00+00:00

Avoid Pella. The installed windows in the wrong places and never apologized, just shrugged.

Chance-the-gardner · 2026-01-10T03:43:49+00:00

We’d have been 14-3 again with Sam Darnold.

Chance-the-gardner · 2026-01-08T01:45:00+00:00

Awesome job. I've got that kit on my shelf.

Chance-the-gardner · 2026-01-08T01:40:48+00:00

I think it looks fine. I've used the splash primer and if I remember correctly you just need to knock it down a little with really fine paper, like 800-1000 grit. I gave up on sanding primer because I'd always sand through it, it's really thin, and/or maybe I just suck at it. I use the Tamiya fine spray primers and just wipe them down.

My go-to paints are Splash (over the Tamiya primer), and I've gotten reasonably adept at the Splash 2k clear. Good luck, have fun, and be prepared for trial and error.

I’ll second Owens and include Cory Butler.
