Roadrunner

A ghost from the past? I love it. I too sprayed dirt and crud all over my models back then, always wondering why they looked so bad.

Real slow going here, but at least I was able to spray some wood colored acrylic base for the oils to follow. Once that’s done, painting the rest of the interior should be a snap (I think).

I don't really mind constructive criticism at all, whether solicited or not. Non constructive criticism is a pain though, the person who believes that I'm trying to build my model to his perceived standards, when in fact I'm perfectly content with what I do. I think that's a common occurrence, the notion that everyone aspires to the same standards, when in fact, it just isn't so.

If you're asking me, no, it's a freebie.

For a moment there, I thought you were referring to me.

I use Photobucket, and have had no problems whatsoever (aside from the fact that they routinely dump my images).

OK, you guys are good.

The real irony is that I printed a Google map, then unthinkingly, loaded it into my trunk with some kits I was taking to trade. This, combined with the fact that I ended up on the wrong road, but with a very similar name, just added to the frustration and confusion. By the time I figured out what was what, it was time to just give up and drive back home.

Does it actually look like George Reeves? It's almost impossible for me to tell from the photos.

One would presume that Revell can compile complete lists from the database, combining all the duplicates and votes. I added several aircraft models I'd like to see released, in scales never offered before.

Once, while adding polyurethane to a base, I ended up with a gnat stuck in the urethane. I left him there, sort of a memorial to his misfortune.

My roommate pigs out on roasted garlic from time to time, and I have to wear an OSHA approved respirator when he does.

Nope. '95 Cougar, so no techie stuff included.

You guys are all over the place. Too cool.

I'm probably off by a country mile, but it reminds me of "Invasion of the Saucer-Men".

I have the same problem.

It's what Harry P. does.

Not today, but last night was our clubs annual swap meet, and I completely bungled it, leaving the house too late, taking a wrong exit off the highway, and driving around lost for the better part of a half hour in an area that I have no familiarity with at all. Left my cell phone at home, so naturally I couldn't call anyone for directions. Irked? Oh yes.

It does seem to happen with me from time to time too. In the past year, I've had about a dozen kits given to me, including some fairly expensive ones, like this Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair, as well as a few others. All of these gifts seemed to follow on the heels of some altruistic generosity or another on my part, given that I had no expectation of return from my act(s).

For what it may be worth to you, Valiant Wings has just recently released this book on the BV 141.

I couldn't agree more, Joe. These newer generation large scale Tamiya kits, are a wonder to behold. I'm already compiling a list of AM that I'd like to eventually throw at it.

I've got a bottle of Champ solution (the hobby equivalent of battery acid) for the really difficult decals.

Looks very nice so far. I did something similar in my old hobby cave.

Every time I painted in this fashion, it looked like I used a toothbrush,... or a mop.

Asylums are full of folks that would anxiously buy this, assuming they're allowed to have money.
