Yo.

Maybe a scene from "The Incredible Shrinking Man", using household items and one 1/48th scale figure.

Using the Apollo landing kit make a diorama of the landing being filmed on a movie set. Using the Enterprise Bridge kit show a scene being filmed. Using existing kits what scenes from the movies or TV could you do being filmed? Why stop there? Build the whole Desilu sound stage. http://www.startrek...

I was talking about the super soaker.

Indeed, but that's the strangest airbrush I've ever seen.

I've long wanted to expand the "Spock and Snakes" scene to include Kirk and McCoy doing stuff like punching a Klingon or treating an injured crewman.

Thanks, guy. In searching for mixing colors I ran across a viable bottle of Testors "Cream" enamel. Not my first choice but since I just needed a small amount...........

What are the best colors and proportions for mixing up flesh tone? I'm painting a small figure and my flesh paint has congealed in the jar. (none is able to be salvaged.) I do have a large stock of other colors so please let me know your experiences. (Don't really want to hit a hobby shop these days.)

Can you do it with Future? I know you can, with a great deal of labor, sand them out an buff the whole thing smooth. I was just wondering about the idea of painting with future and rubbing it smooth that way. Seems like it might go quicker that way,

A funny thing about today's batteries is that they seem to last longer with occasional to frequent use than they do with no use. I've got the same (or similar) phaser and seem to need new batteries every time I use it. (So few people need phasering these days.) I always take one of the old batteries...

Basically in a couple of cardboard boxes. The last time I did anything really greeblie intensive was my modification of the mystery ship.

Wish I'd know about this earlier.

A little bit of diluted white glue does the trick too.

Warm, soapy water. Work very slowly. Use a soft paint brush and work it under the decal as you go.

Maybe a cross-company battle between super-heroes and villains using 1/48 scale Heroclix, say between Batman and Spiderman on one side and the Joker and Green Goblin on the other.

Don't you have to open the email to bring up the forwarding capability.

Talk to your dentist. Dental bits work great in a pin vise and come in many sizes. By the time they're no good for teeth, they're still great for plastic.

I've used Gundam parts and pieces to good effect.

If you're friendly with your dentist he (or she) would probably be willing to give you old dental bits. Even when they're no longer good for teeth they're fine for styrene and resin. Been using them for years and have only broken two.

Dead links galore on this thread.

Hey, models are models.

Prostitution and sex trafficking??? Shouldn't some one contact the FBI or their local police???

Let them find their own hookers.

For my recent Legionnaires needing capes I used Future soaked tissue paper.

Am I the only one noticing a decline in the number of posts around here? Is this just folks getting ready for WF or is it, dun dun dun, something else?

So "Red" means "Not Read"? Kind of counter-intuitive.

I was wondering about that link thing myself. Figured I was doing something wrong.

1. You upload a color.
2. It replies: "To obtain this color mix "x"% of "Y" paint with "x"% of "Z" paint.

Would take a lot of guesswork out of this hobby.

I never heard of it either but the reviews on Amazon are good for what that's worth.

I had this happen once with Testors spray. Two weeks in the basement bathroom with the dehumidifier going constantly finally took care of it.

I went with the wood. Carved down good. Split well. Filled in some spots where I'd overcarved with regular auto putty. Am sanding away the edges now.
