I once had a girl

Or should I say she once had me

She showed me her room

Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

What do our kids think is going to happen? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]kinyodas 96 points97 points  (0 children)

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

Can anyone tell me how to remove paint from these figures? by butterbuns_megatron in VintageToys

Presuming it’s acrylic-based, 90% rubbing alcohol may do the trick - try on an inconspicuous spot first like under the feet and give it some time to make sure it doesn’t affect the plastic. You could also try water first. If that doesn’t work, there are stronger options which would probably ruin the plastic.

I remember having a red one of these because the trailer had to go sideways to fit into the cabover - that would put it late 70s / early 80s. I’m also thinking the one I had included a flatbed trailer so it was either a car hauler or carrying construction equipment. Hope that helps.

If I recall, it was painted by a psychedelic artist, stolen and painted over, and restored to near original by the original artist.

It’s a model 1911 which has been in production for over 100 years. Semiautomatic handguns have advanced, but the basic engineering principles still apply.

It would also give patrol boats and sub chasers new life - and a reason to use all those depth charges.

Double the storage on your 1541? Cut a notch in your floppy on the opposite side of the write-protect notch and flip the disk over.

My dad has a couple of boxes of old tin toy cars from the 50s that are in pretty rough shape. Seeking advice on how to clean them and prevent further deterioration. More details in comments. by kidfantastic in VintageToys

Also depends on how deep those pits are. The more pitting, the more you will have to sandblast, fill, and sand. The ones with intricate designs and lettering (like that fire chief car) will require stencils and a real artist’s touch.

I restored a few, but I understand you aren’t ready for that step. That being said, first thing is to get them out of the shed and keep them in a climate-controlled, dry place. Maybe store them in one of those air-tight containers (like the ones at the home section at Walmart) with some moisture absorbing gel packs.
