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.

How long have you been building models guide....
tomqvaxy replied to ghodges's topic in General Modeling
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.

i have 2 of the 2.5 & a 10x, but am tempted to buy just a lens for experimentation.
-
surgical or dental; whatever they are called - i did a search and came up null. i want something better than optivisor of tamiya. any recommendation? about "3x" would be good; currents (above) are 2.5x so i might like to go a little stronger. thanks

one of the basic tenets of writing & public speaking is to tailor the presentation to your audience. -

you might want to get started with a few kits to get the feel of things. https://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/JustPlugLightingSystem https://evandesigns.com/pages/video https://lights4models.com/ and then can sound be far behind? https://www.fantasonics.com/ http://www.fantasonics.com/manual.pdf https://www.ngineering.com/

Has Model Cars Magazine finally gone under?
tomqvaxy replied to noelsmith's topic in Cars, Trucks, & Motorcycles
regardless of the method of presentation, the magazine requires being "made". I think the other obstacles are an excuse for that not being done. even the ardent supporters lament coverage of 2 year old contests. sometimes it's just "time", ya know? it doesn't always equate with what we want, but denial can only go so far. reality always wins. used to work with a fellow who told the story of "Thought". Thought was brought up on the gallows. Thought didn't think he was going to be hung. but he was.
