In Topic: A Sad Day - Ray Parsons of R&R Resin Has Passed Away

26 April 2013 - 05:37 PM

It's a sad day in Modelsville= :(

I met Ray many years ago at the Macomb College shows,

My Dad was into old Ford flatheads long before I was born so I grew up around them-After my Dad died a few years ago Ray was one of the few people that I let "pick" my Dads buildings- we traded a lot of old Ford stuff for resin stuff I wanted (Ray got the better end of that deal ! )

Ray and Ruth were here a few times to visit and pick-I wanted to show Ray my model collection but he couldn't care less about those model cars-He wanted to see the real car stuff-Him and my Dad would have gotten along like stink on a monkey.......I mean that in a good way and you would know what I mean if you had ever met either one of them in person.

My thoughts are with Ruth and their kids tonight......but now Ron Cash has someone to play with  :)

In Topic: So why do you or we stash kits?

07 April 2013 - 08:56 AM

I hoard and stash kits because I have an addictive personality,

I don't drink alcohol or do drugs anymore,

Even though I don't spend as much money on models as I did drinking and drugging-This way I have something to show for it.
