Hi Mike

TLC = Tender loving care
LOL = Lots of Laughs
IMO = In my opinion
IMHO = In my honest opinion
IIRC = If i remember correctly

Basically they´re short "sms" type phrases.

When used in the field of modeling, TLC is most often mentioned while in the subject of models with less than pefrect fit. In this case, TLC means all the useful and useless methods of making the parts fit, and rectifying seams that couldn't be avoided. In short, solving problems with a kit.
The possible solutions (=TLC) can include the following:
-putty
-copious amounts of sanding and filing (either with or without putty)
scatch-building missing details
-Filling gaps with styrene beams and shims
-making idle threats and swearing at the model if none of the above works
"You had your changes, no more TLC for you. You asked for this!"



Google came up with this link, quite a comprehensive list of SMS acronyms here: http://www.amset.info/tips/acronyms.asp
