mine costs about the same and since it's a central post office, I get UPS, FedX and any other packages. usually the packages are put in a locker and the key tossed into my PO Box. and the lobby/ box access is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. for less than $99 dollars a year, I consider it a bargain.

you're getting old when you forget to clean out the dead rats from behind the refrigerator but simply choose to live in squalor.

I'm new to this forum and it's a great place with many dedicated and highly skilled modelers. I find it a bit curious that there's not more representation of old traditional hot rods. I was hoping to find a category specific to them. ....

you've never read anything about using the internet safely?

would the same brand bought somewhere else wear better?

To everyone following this thread, I apologize if I seem overly critical.
From everything I've seen so far, both upcoming Revell model-A kits look like they're going to be home-runs.
But with a little tweaking, if it's economically feasible, they would both be out-of-the-park.
Once again...no one is asking for a "perfect kit". But it would be nice to have the things that hit you immediately (at least if you're familiar with the 1:1s) done pretty close.
We all know Revell is capable of producing consistent excellence; they've demonstrated it many times.
PS: I personally am incapable of producing "perfect" work, but in the shop I contract with we all strive every minute of every day to get the things right that will be noticeable, and we try to do it, as I've said previously, before the client sees the car, before it's painted, and most definitely...we try to foresee problems BEFORE they become costly in terms of time and money to correct. Do-overs until we get it right is NOT our SOP...and would be impossible if we were to maintain acceptable costs and profits. We HAVE to catch things during the process...not after it's effectively too late to correct them.
I don't understand how any business can operate any other way.
a 3.6 gpa and 4.0 are both As. the 3.6 makes you much less crazy.

if it's any consolation, "thank you".

i have good memories of playing with my cousin's American Flyer trains in our grandparent's attic. it can truly be a world apart. i was 4 or 5 and he was 6 years older. the attic was unfinished but we could have cared less. there was a floorboard with a missing knothole and, being boys, we used it for the obvious.
years later, my aunt told the story of how many times my uncle painted the ceiling in the hallway below before my cousin finally came clean as to the source of the stain...

There was an interview with Elan Musk where they asked him what he thought of the $15 McDonalds job. His response was priceless!
i take it it cannot be shared safely.

unless you've cleared that with him, you might want to remove his personal information from the INTERNET

anyone have a picture of a potvin blower set up on a flathead? i had one from HAMB, but it wasn't real clear how the manifold was configured. or how it mounted - completely front cover supported or any brackets to the frame?
thanks
