this is by far the largest endeavor Ive ever made when it comes to models.

i loved to watch the tv show when i was young, and when i saw the 18" model in a store i had to have it, it was just the coolest thing to have the ship from the show in my very hands, much the same feeling i have now, it's the sense of aw, wonder and excitement we have as we are young and carry with us into adult hood, which given the site this is on, I'm sure we can all relate on some level

i hope in the next coming months you enjoy the videos.

if you have any suggestions or questions i would like to hear them. or if there is something you would like me to go over that has not been done, just let me know and i will make sure to include it on the video.

Oh sure, do the exciting stuff when I'm not around! I come over, it's a sanding video. You ever record grass grow? Paint drying? J/K LMK when the women come back Jerry and I'll help "record" then.

Looking good. Nice tip on using the hair dryer to speed up the Bondo, never thought of that.

You need some more light for the vids, higher resolution would be nice too. I'd really like to see what you're doing

Re: 1/2 studio scale enterprise, My 66" big E from steve neil. the last of the mohic

thank you robn1-
ive found just about everything that requires any kind of activator is thermo activated, so hit with some heat and it will cure quicker, this also works with silicones
OK, after fiddling with my nhc video pad editor, i discovered that it's dummying down my videos, i cant seem to upload from the video pad to you tube directly and get hd quality video, but if i save it to my pc then upload to youtube i get hd ??? I'm not pc literate, so if any of you know what my problem is, please pm me

i will also try to get the other vidys fixed
