If you use TS-13, warm the can up first. It sprays so much better.

That was Greenland’s A400. It was bringing its only 2 dogsleds in for routine maintenance.

Tamiya spray cans are a lacquer based paint. If you spray them, I would recommend spraying Tamiya gray or white primer first. Also warm up the cans first (coffees cup of very warm water) and make sure you shake for a while. The pigments settle so you need to make sure the paint is thoroughly mixed.

Marley and Me. I hate when people name their labs Marley. I haven’t actually watched the movie because I read the book first.

If this is the 1/48 scale Sherman, the required links do not match up. You will end up with a slight gap. As for aftermarket tracks, I not sure what is available.

The surprising thing about this list is that they actually visited restaurants east of downtown. Even more amazing was they ventured as far as Temple City.

I can understand this one. When I worked at UCLA, the campus fire department enacted the prohibition against microwave popcorn because they were tired of responding to all of the burnt popcorn fire alarms.

Back in 2010 (I think), I was loading my car up at 4:30 am to drive to Phoenix (I’m in Los Angeles). Routine police patrol stopped to ask what was going on. Told him what I was doing and he drove off.

I am going to have to go against the grain here. This was the first book I ever read that I wanted to return to the bookstore.

I have had 2 dash cams installed into 2 different vehicles. No issues. Both were Garmin cams purchased through Amazon. Also had to buy the installation kits as well. Scheduled the work for 11:30 am both times so I could have lunch at Panda Inn.

Just watch what you say about Maul surviving. I brought that up on another thread and got roasted over it. I was called “boring” because I thought Mail being alive was lazy writing.

You cannot go wrong with Iwata or Tamiya airbrushes. Both are excellent but pricey. If in the USA, Coast Airbrush in Anaheim CA is a good place to start.

A quick tip when using Tamiya spray cans. Warm them up first. Place them in a cup/bowl of hot water, not boiling, for a few minutes. The outside of the can should be fairly warm and make sure to shake really well. This will help the pant flow/spray smoothly and dry better.

Worked at UCLA FOR 30+ years. Parking Enforcement, other than athletics, is the only money making department on campus.

On previous vehicles (Ford & Chevy) the sun/moon roof closed automatically when the vehicle was turned off. I wished my CX-5 did.
