i am not making anyone do anything

Q: is there an advantage to using these three products in one mixture: #71.262, #70.524, & #70.597 ? seems they all have some of the same properties. thanks

i've noticed most of MA kits offer a variety of color combinations in the last pages of their instruction manuals. anyone know if there's an online resource to view these in one place? thanks

all of these photos show an exceptional attention to detail. thank you for sharing them.

impressive undertaking. Santa Claus brought me the woody around 1962. i scraped flash with a 3 corner burnisher until Memorial Day and finally gave up.

when hand laying model railroad track, the entire pantry can be emptied in short notice.

any direction suggested for prototype examples? my internet searches are producing non-results. thanks

"search" got me everything but! Q: did some company repop these figures about 10 years ago? Atlantis maybe? thanks

WOW! tiny tiny details. following along now

seems right on the heels of the "comic book scare" of the late '50s was the "glue-sniffer" scare of the early '60s. telling your friends that you built models had their parents' eyebrows lifted and the warning "you can't go over to his house and play anymore."

is there a site which will allow me to download/ print instructions for an Italeri Triumph 3HW motorcycle engine? drivetrain would be helpful too. for a scratchbuilt project in 1:24-5 scale (freelance narrow gauge locomotive). i thought Scalemates might be helpful, but doesn't seem to have "the paperwork" available. thanks

that would be a heckuva big wheel. this may help: Pantone Color, Chips & Color Guides | Color Inspiration | Pantone

i have Wheels Across the Desert by A. Goudie and Libyan Sands by R.A. Bagnold books for initial research (scale model building) but wondered if there was more information available. also have bookmarked some YouTube videos. if anyone could suggest resources for vehicle modifications, it would be appreciated. thanks

so in the tradition of buying myself a hobby gift for the season, i have a new OptiVISOR DA-7 2.75x (yes, proprietary brand!) on its way to me. i will surely not be waiting until december 25th to open! thanks to all for the inputs & advice.
