Re: Circuit of the Americas
Way back when the F1 circuit was at Indy, Bernie Eccelstone was interviewed if whether F1 had finally found a place in the U.S. I remember him saying that if F1 couldn't make it at Indy, then it wouldn't be able to make it anywhere else in the states. Well, most people know how the game is played wi...

Re: New october teaser from MFH - any inputs?
Well, I finally ordered the 1/12 kit MFH kit I've been waiting for all these years. I not only ordered 1 but 2 kits of the San Marino version from HLJ. I'm still waiting for my shipping notice but it usually takes about a week to get here to Texas. I will post a review of the kit contents if someone...

Goodwood tickets
Hello: My plans to attend Goodwood this year have fallen through. I purchased 4 adult tickets for Friday, June 26. In addition I have 2 multi day children's wristbands. I am not listing this in the for sale section as these are not model cars, but rather for anyone who might be attending and looking...

Re: Weathering/painting of CNC/Machined parts
Hello: I don't know if this is really for you or not. I had some nicely machined parts laying on the table and accidentally spilled some Tamiya acrylic thinner on them. I placed them in a clear baggie without really cleaning them, just thinking they would be ok. Now, they look like something from a ...

Re: Stash pic
Icon Modeler, you have so much here that I don't feel so guilty about contemplating a second Treasure Hunt BT55 to my collection of many unbuilt MM kits. Kind of like some rich dude thinking about adding another Picasso to his already bloated collection. Jerry

Re: How long would it take you to build your stash?
I could quit my job today and possibly finish my stash in 20 years. By that time, I'll probably be near death due to too much inhalation of paint fumes.

Re: Waxdart is now sponsored by "Repsol"
When are you going to take it to the 130 Tollway and let it rip? I always wanted to know what the top speed is on one of those things. Jerry

Re: Goodwood FOS 2015
Great photos and it looks like we will do the Friday event. Also, we will be staying in London. Is Goodwood accessible from London by train and if so, how far is Goodwood from the train station? Thanks for any information anyone can offer.

Hello: My wife and I are finally going to attend the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed in June of 2015. Barring anything at the last minute, we plan on attending just one day. My question is: what is the best day to attend? From looking at the itinerary, it looks like Friday is a good day. So which da...

Re: What do you do for a living when your not building?
Hello: I just turned 53 3 days ago. Been into plastic models since I was about 8 years old. I started out with airplanes until one day my mother took me to a place called Alwais Toy Box which was a hobby shop here in San Antonio. This was in the early 70's and Tamiya had just released the 1/12 Tyrre...
