Again as noted, I like Mustang IIs. My dad had a '77 plain coupe. One time my folks left for a few weeks on vacation. For what ever reason, I was driving my dad's Mutt II while they were gone. One morning I fire up the car, and it was runnning terrible. I took it to the nearby Ford dealer to see what's wrong. I was told the cam shaft had broke. I broke a cam shaft? I wasn't even beating on the car. It was only a 4-cylinder and not very fast besides. How could that be? And how was I going to pay for this, and then explain it to the folks when they got back? The service writer told me not to worry. Even though the car was well past its warranty, the cam shaft was covered. Ford had not properly drilled the rear oil main that the fed the cam shaft. So it was covered on an extended warranty for that problem only. The Ford dealer was within walking distance of my house, so I left the car there. 24 hours later, they had the car repaired at no charge to me or my folks. When the folks came back several days later, I could have said nothing, and I doubt they would have ever known anything went wrong. But, I was honest and told them anyways. After all, it was not my fault. So what trouble could I get into? Scott

We lost one here a couple of months ago too. Like Bob above, because of their prices I never bought kits from them. Mainly went in there for paint. Scott

Is this new? No. And the girl still needs to comb her hair. Sorry if I'm not excited about this one. Teaching modeling and other similar forms of art are not new on a college level. I'm glad to see that computer technogy is not taking away jobs in this area. Scott

I like these two suggestions. We don't tend to look at the Cricket over here in a very positive light. But, in other parts of the world, the Chrysler Avenger (our Plymouth Cricket) and its variations were looked on quite highly. The car was built for years. And was a fairly well looked upon as a pretty good Rallye car. Scott

Now that I get! And it is funny. Scott

The Revell is a '68? I don't understand why they didn't offer '68 and later US spec bumpers? Scott

I'd love to be able to buy and build a kit of a 1971 or '72 US spec Celica. Scott

Very nice. I love the colors. Scott

Very nice job. Both the kit build and working with your son. I especially like the last photo. Scott

Very nice. What kit is this? People are guessing MPC. Is it? Scott

Two things. I almost fell a sleep listening to these folks. Really telling me nothing. Second that one girl they interview really needs a comb or brush for her hair. Scott

Is the body side molding painted on? It looks way too flat in the photo above. Plus it folded up exactly in the way as the fender? Not pulling away from the fender? Scott

Okay.... I get it now. Too vague for me. A joke should not need to be explained the way the last two have been needed to. I've notice it's only a small number of us posting on this thread. And it seems to be getting smaller. Is this because we've run out of good jokes? Are others not finding this thread fun or funny? Scott

Great if I knew what your talking about. I just use the pictures I have stored on my I-Pad. I know nothing about using other sites out on the web for doing this type of thing. My problem is not storage space on my end. It's the amount of storage I'm allowed on this site. From what I can tell. Easy solution. I just quit putting up pictures here. Scott

Yeh the web site is not good. I end up going to their paper catalog to find stuff. It's not great either. But, I find it better than their web pages. Still, their resin makes the search worth while. Scott

Sorry to say. Another one I don't get. Is it me? Or are some the "jokes" starting to get lame here now? Have we told all the good (bad?) corny jokes out there? I hope not. Scott

I think I used Tamiya's metallic blue. Scott

Okay. It becomes a fair joke now that you've explained it. Scott

I seem to hit a limit on the number of photos I can post. Now, if I wish to post something here, I have to find an older post and delete the photo there. For this reason, for the most part, I've given up posting photos here. Scott

Some kit came with the Edsel station wagon taillights and bezels as a customizing option. I just can not, off the top of my head, remember which kit it was. I don't think it was AMT's '57 Ford? I know I have a set somewhere in my collection. Scott

I don't get this one at all?

Both of the Minis above look like there has been a little photo shop going on. Scott

Impressive looking build. Would like to know about the real plane. Scott

Sounds good to me. I'll take one of each. Scott

Wow! Top notch. Fantstic flames and other paint. Scott
