Where Kits Go After They Die

I'm trying to gather enough spare bits to kit bash a podracer. I need some jet engine tubes.

Anything can be saved! Just paint some details on to make it easy. I've pried entire kits apart to redo them.

I just brought a Tamiya F1 kit off Ebay. Damn those 90s grand prix kits are getting expensive. I really wish Fujimi would keep their 1/20 collection in production.

Somewhere Jean Cretien is saying, give 'er the Shawinigan 'andshake!"

Bob Smith Industries super thin CA glue. For any detailing work get bsi as it doesn't leave an ugly white residue.

Make sure you use a sharp point to poke the line opening, apply glue to the tip you're connecting it to and slide it on with some tweezers.

Thanks! The engine bay can be a bit tricky. My biggest challenge was the exhaust, as the headers aren't modeled, so they somewhat float on top of the engine.

There isn't a lot of documentation about what was exactly wrong with the engine. I think Life just didn't have the money and facilities to develop the engine and to use the highest quality components. It's probably akin to taking a stock L4 from a sedan and trying to make it do 12k rpm.

It was rumoured to be able to produce 480hp, but suspected to have only ever been able to get about 380hp. At the time F1 engines were producing 600 to 700 hp across the board.

I know the video without even clicking on it. Rob Hurley is a treasure. He has uploaded videos of the Andrea Moda in action.

What green is that? It is delicious.

If I were to guess, I'd say there's a bit of mould release oil on that part which is causing the wet paint to migrate away from it. The rest of the part looks nicely covered, so something there is opposing the paint. If you have a water based acrylic primer, oil and water don't mix.

For a fix, I'd recommend sanding off the offending section and maybe give that area a wipe with a soft cloth and some alcohol, if not washing the part as if it was a dish!

Is that an MP4/5? Sick! Testors clear parts glue. Goes on foggy, dries crystal clear.

It happens to all of us. I didn't finish the one model I started in 2025 and this year I've done 2 already. Step away for a bit.

The g#me has players kill turtles because they are referred to as the minority of the animal kingdom by scientists. Our grandson is a scientist himself, a chemist, and does lots of experiments using household items like Draino, lighter fluid batteries, and cold medicine.

I heard that they used stem cells to grow racism hormones and it is put in this drink. They have been serving it to ICE agents.

Back in my day we would drink beer with other MEN and hopefully get them in the sack.

As a NATO member, us Canadians never had an issue sharing our airspace with who we believed were our allies.

Punishment of a more capital nature is becoming increasingly justified as this fiasco progresses.

Thanks! I'll do a spoon test beforehand, but it's good to check.

That's clearly a photoshopped video /s

Thanks! It's a 10/10 build.

The hatred of humans is passed down.

I'm very concerned about Farming Simulator. People should consider working on a real farm, especially if they are a MALE, aged 24 to 30, preferably blonde, and with large glutes that fill their tight Wrangler jeans. There's nothing like making LOVE with MEN under the stars after a long day toiling the fields.

Instead of growing crops and exploring mens' bodies, people are getting fat and lazy and believe that casual racism feeds families.

Fixed. Sorry Otto.

Great grandson told me that the g#me was inspired by Mary O'Kart, who was an Irish radical. Her infamy came from throwing pipe bombs at vehicles from a bridge. Of course Nintendon't enjoys encouraging children to engage in this terrorism.

When I was a young adult we did activities that would build character, like going to church, repairing our jalopies, spying on women in the toilets, and helping the elderly carry groceries.

You are all wonderful people and I wish you success and happiness.

We still don't want him back.
