    How about a scale vehicle thread

    Well , Maico --- not having a clue what a moderator does or how much time it takes I really can't say. How about explaining what it entails & perhaps I might like the job. Thanks for asking & perhaps we may work it out.

    More rust-lots of it!

    Ok , some one posted this link somewhere. http://www.oldride.com/community/galleries/391833729.html I found a LOT of inspiration for the junkyard there--among other things a lot of "run out" cars just left to rust -- many almost completely covered in it with only splotches of paint left...

    Rust experiment

    Let me know how this looks to some of you. It's an experiment in producing a partially rusted out panel on a 1/64th car like in my junk yard. This is a hot wheels Duece roadster. The inner fender panel was taken out with a dremel & replaced with one made of a disposable aluminum baking tin. The...

    Scratchbuilding is dead, I guess

    I have shown this here before , I think. Anyway It would be a shame if no one was building things like this from scratch. It took me a couple of months & is bass wood over a streyne core. The little bar next door is all plastic& scratch built. Lynn Austin did it in TWO DAYS!! Oh to be THAT GOOD...

    Scratchbuilding is dead, I guess

    Yes, but again we are back to the $ situation--- building a whole layout certainly involves spending a lot of money on bunches of items that are advertised in the mag.

    Scratchbuilding is dead, I guess

    You are probably right about 1 thing --- the ignore them part --- but I would say you do so at your own expense & risk. I say that , because you are wrong about not selling them anything---- I know few scratchers who scratch EVERYTHING , they may buy NOTHING ready to run,( tho many do) more...
