[Glue question for the experts.]

Hello:

Quick question for the experts.  I have always used the Locktite brand as my go-to CA glue.  I had a little trouble with some of the stages of the fire truck.  I am just about to start the Optimus.   I understand that there is a pretty good amount of "glue-ing" involved.  Could anyone recommend a brand of CA glue that has worked well for them?

thank you very much

[Another new product, being launched Spring 2023]

Are we looking at a windshield wiper?

[Deagostini R2-D2]

Wow!!  All 3 of these are really great.  You can tell that you really love the hobby.  What are you currently working on?

[A question for the experts.]

Wow!!  That is beautiful.

[A question for the experts.]

Thanks.  I'm going to keep looking for someone to do the complete job.  I love assembly but not a big fan of painting.

[A question for the experts.]

Hello:  Just wondered if anyone could help with this.  Does anyone know of a person or company that can change the body color of an existing partwork?  Hypothetically speaking, if someone wished to change the body color of the Fanhome Dodge Challenger from black to possibly....orange.  My painting skills are not nearly at the level to pull that off.  I contacted a powder coating company but they didn't think that they could do it either.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.  BB

[Guess another new model!]

Thank you.  

[Guess another new model!]

Stupid question but what is the difference between a Ferrari or LaFerrari?

[Full Kits Only Please]

I've purchased and built several complete kits and I believe that I like the monthly subscriptions better.  On the full kits, I find that I finish the kits too quickly.  I become obsessed with completing them and do not savor the experience.  For me,  I think that will just do the subscriptions from here forward.  Also, I agree with ThomasJW, if you have enough subs, there is always something to build.  I really love this hobby and hearing from my fellow modelers.

[Another new model, should be announced at the end of October.]

I really hope it is the Mercedes race car.  I built the one from Argentina about a year ago.  It was a really fun kit.  Turned out really nice.  I find building the wheels with the spokes oddly therapeutic.  Hopefully, Agora's will be just different enough to create a nice diorama of the 2 race cars side by side in the home stretch.   Exciting times!

[I stumbled across something pretty neat!]

A couple of Fridays ago, I watched a livestream from Hobby Time Modelers.  It was really fun.  It was a group of several guys each assembling their own kit.  Just a group of friends working on their projects and having fun with each other.  Super-welcoming bunch.  A really great example of how great this community is.  

[Batmobile!!]

I think either one (preferably both) would be great.  By the way, Model Gamer, I love your titanic videos.

 

[Available Space]

I love seeing your workspace.  Mine is only slightly larger.  I use our guestroom closet.  I will tidy things up and submit some photos.   I see from the pictures that you can never have too many Wera screwdrivers. 😉

[Upcoming Porsche 917KH]

I feel that Agora is more consistent with their inventory and deliveries.  IXO has been great,  just a little sporadic.  Not like Model-space or Eaglemoss, but a little sporadic nonetheless.  I am only about 25% percent complete on the IXO kit.  A restart will allow me the chance to experiment with some modifications.  Also,  I just really like working with Agora.

[Upcoming Porsche 917KH]

I have greatly enjoyed this build as well.  I have been buying packs as they become available through IXO.  I think I will subscribe to the Agora kit when it becomes available.  I'm curious as to when it will be released.

[Shelby Cobra build completed with 100% satisfaction.]

Very nice.  I hope to finish mine this weekend.  Hope it looks half as good!

[Model suggestion titanic]

I wonder if that is a smart business decision.  A wooden hull seems as if it would scare off many "would-be-customers" (myself included)  I can only imagine myself attempting such a challenging endeavor and be forced to cancel after just a couple of months.  Unfortunately, my meager skills are more in line with the nuts & bolts and not the wood, sandpaper and glue.  I'll leave this one for the pros.

[IXO Collections cars]

I think its funny how all of us adult men and women get so excited over pending new releases.

[IXO Collections cars]

Hello:

I am one of the many who are very excited for the new arrivals.  Can't wait to start on the Jaguar, Fire Truck and Routemaster.

Just curious if anyone has heard what may be coming next from IXO Collections.  I enjoyed their kits almost as much as Agora. 😉

[Jaguar wire wheels]

Hello:  Does anyone know if the Jaguar will have the real wire rims or the cheesy plastic ones like eaglemoss did for the DB5?  Although, they are challenging, they look so much better.  I hated doing them at first and then found myself enjoying it in the end.

Go Chiefs!

[Teaser Image!]

Anyone have any ideas of what the teaser image might reveal?  I was thinking some sort of fire truck.  The little bit that is shown looks fun.

[Land Rover Defender 90]

I think a mid-to-late 1990's Land Rover Defender 90 would be a lot of fun.  Can you imagine all of the cool mods that could be added.  Winch, lights, snorkel, gear etc.

maybe it will happen

[Eaglemoss Alpine Renault?]

Hello:  Does anyone know if Eaglemoss did a Alpine Renault kit.  There is a youtube video with various cars from the Eaglemoss diecast garage.  The blue Alpine renault is the first car shown.  Looks very sharp.
