questions

[g00eY]

don't forget to show us progress and completed pics in either the motorsport or street and show forums! i wouldn't recommend making that spoiler without plastic. also remember that scratchbuilding takes practice.

ok, thanks

I also have another question. CSC, does remove chrome paint off the parts? Is it safe for all types of plastic? Everyone here is so nice, it makes me want to cry lol. jk

thank you

[MPWR]

Yeah, CSC is great for stripping chrome. It's safe for styrene, I haven't tried it on anything else. If you want to know about another type, test it first!

[Lan.Evo.VIII]

is revell model kits made out of styrene?

[MPWR]

Yes, and CSC is safe on their kits.

As far as chicks and modeling, modeling is a poor way to meet chicks. That having been said, it's by no means a turn off for chicks. In fact, it can be a good way to tell if you're well matched with a chick- if you tell her you build models, and she's cool with it, then she's worth keeping. If not, look elsewhere- no sense wasting your time (I'm serious here).

I met a chick who was cool with me building. I married her. Then, after getting dragged to too many hobby shops, she got into building. Now she can't get enough- she drags me to hobby shops now. There are chicks out there like her, and they're worth finding.

Ah, a common misperception, that chicks can be grouped into one common thought pattern. Some chicks do like musicians, I know exactly one, some chicks like guys who skateboard, some chicks like guys with long hair, some like guys with short hair...... The truth is that different chicks look for different things in guys. What you are looking for is a chick who likes the things you do (and likes you for it). I personally, wanted a guy who does stuff, like woodworking, playing with cars, building models, fixing stuff. I always envisioned a guy who spent time in his garage or workshop. Some girls aren't into that. So just be who you are and let that speak to the girls you meet..... don't try to be who you think that they want you to be, you'll only be selling yourself short.

Yeah, you should see the insurance rates for a 15 year old with an M3

However, you're about 6 years too late, as I'm happily married to a guy who does stuff. Nevertheless there are other girls like me out there!

Lies i tell you.... lies....

[willimo]

There are.

Still, I admit I used to run in and out of Hobby Lobby's half off sales, lest the cute LSU girls in there for party cups caught me with an armload of Tamiya and Revell.

[g00eY]

lol...

anyways, i haven't tried CSC but from what other people say it doesn't strip some paints. so beware if you plan on using it to strip certain types of paint.

ok, thank you.

about the chick thing. well, i asked my sister, from a girl's point of view. is car building and gundam building geeky or a set off. She said she dont know but i think she would say yea that stuff is geeky lol.

thank you.
maybe more questions to come along soon.

[g00eY]

i feel that model building is geeky. but i'm here and i build models so yea...

[Lan.Evo.VIII]
