  1. Great job Wayne. I built this one about a year or two ago.
  2. Very cool looking build Pat. Great work!
  3. Great craftsmanship. Really top shelf work!
  4. According to Forbes, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam dump more plastic in the oceans than everyone else combined! Their article was dated April 21, 2018. The Ocean Conservancy was cited as the source and this was based on 2017 data. While we can do a better job of recycling, we are not the problem. Personally, it gets more than a little tiresome that the environmentalists will not point out the real culprits of the problem. I get it that they have their agenda to push, but if they are not going to go after the real polluters, then what good are they really doing?
  5. Lots of shiney paint.
  6. To follow up on what Snake wrote, my parents owned a 1970 Olds 88. The body was green with a white interior. The headliner was green.
  7. Very cool! The paint and details look like the car / truck in the show. I think I read that with Donna Douglas' passing a few years ago, Max Baer (Jethro) is the only regular cast member of that show still alive.
  8. Very cool Jeff. It looks real sinister!

    Very cool Bruce. Certainly a kit that I never knew of.
  10. Another great looking save! Great work.
  11. Thanks for posting. I am sure these will go for a few more pennies than I have in my bank account.
  12. Great job on the group Bill. All of them look great!
  13. Great work Michelle. It's too bad the body twisted on you.
  14. Great job! Looks very nice.
  15. I think I have about 100 - 120 un - built kits and about that many built kits. When I get to the point I cannot build them anymore or lose interest in the hobby, I will start selling the kits, tools and supplies. The kits that are built, I imagine the kids may take a few that mean something to them or to have a memory. The rest of the built kits, tools and supplies will likely go in the estate sale. If anything is left over after the sale, I imagine it will be thrown away. The thought of a lot of that stuff being thrown away makes me a bit sad, but I will not be around, so however my wife or the kids want to take care of this stuff is up to them. I know of a person who put in his will almost all of his possessions and he expected his heirs to keep this stuff. As I state above, it is sad to think about some of this stuff being thrown away, but I cannot do to my family what the person I knew did to his.
  16. You may want to consider trimming one of the trees they use to get onto or off of the roof. We had the same problem a few years ago and it sounded like a rodent track meet on the roof at times. I thought it was kind of funny and cute until I realized they can crawl up the chimney very easily and then get into the fireplace and maybe into the house. I remember a former co - worker telling me how squirrels got into the house of one of his friends and the damage they caused was extensive. Insurance doesn't cover this because it is damage caused by vermin and they exclude this kind of loss, so it's not something to take lightly. We called a tree trimmer and he trimmed the tree they used to get off of the roof. It was interesting because they once their exit was taken away, they stopped getting on the roof even thought the other tree still gave them access to the roof. With rodents, you often don't know you have a problem until it's too late.
  17. I enjoy the looks of these old Ferraris. You did a great job on this one.
  18. Great looking model and an excellent idea to build it as a tribute to a fallen officer.

    The entire model is absolutely stunning, but the paint is immaculate!
