How could i become a model without all the ridiculous charges?
Q. I've always wanted to be a model or actress and recently i visited a modeling thing and they wanted me to pay all kinds of money for just classes! I'm 15 and don't have a ton of money! Is there any modeling agencies in Ohio that isn't looking to scam me?
Asked by Bree - Thu Aug 6 20:40:37 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Legitimate agencies don't charge for classes. Your only expenses should be your comp card and a few test shots for your portfolio AFTER you have a contract with an agency, but this again is not paid through the agency or one photographer they are forcing you to use. A legitimate agency should provide you with a list of recommended photographers in your area that you contact on your own and negotiate a price Your problem is your location. How many fashion magazines are published in Ohio? How many fashion desiginers have runway shows in Ohio? If you don't live in a city where the magazines are published and there are annual fashion weeks, there aren't going to be many modeling jobs, which means there won't be many modeling agencies If you… [cont.]

How do you build a model house for a school project?
Q. Hey, I need to build a small model house for a school project. Any ideas? Perhaps, there's a kit to building model houses? Thank you. I want to try to build a very small victorian house--one that fit into a edium sized cardboard box! This will be a challenge.

A. There are kits, but could be pricey. Here's a home-made version that worked well for me: For the base: Make the "yard" with a piece of plywood covered with a sheet of artificial grass (available at hobby shops). Pick up a few model trees if you like. For a really professional look, buy the model windows and doors from a hobby or art store. For the house, you'll need a set of plans to draw the exterior walls and roof pieces on a piece of heavy poster board. If none are on-line, a local surveyor might be able to give you a copy of a house plan to work with. A scale of 1/4 inch = 1 foot should work nicely. Cut out the windows/doors first, then the walls with an X-acto knife. (Be sure to cut window holes to fit the windows available, not… [cont.]

What late model car would be the best option for an engine swap into a 79 corvette?
Q. I own a 79 corvette and a year ago the engine blew on me. I have moved around so we never had time to work on it but now we are settled here in arizona. Me and my dad are going to place a new engine in it but we thought of going to a U-Pull It service and take an engine from a late model car. We were just wondering of any recommendations for the best engine to use and from what car to get it from?
Asked by Justin - Tue Jun 16 18:08:38 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. With a 79 I wouldn't do an LSX motor unless you have a lot of time and money on your hands. An LSX has fuel injection, computers, a vastly complicated wiring harness, engine mounts, and a totally different transmission, driveshaft, the list goes on and on. This will be pretty much the same for any late model engine you pull. If you have the money for such an ambitious swap go for it, however I would recomend working with a Chevy 350. Bore it out to a 355 and strocker out to a 396. Build up a solid bottom end, camshaft, forged/steel roller rockers/lifters. You now have an engine you can supercharge, or turbo, or both. And it will drop right into the engine mounts the car currently has.
