If I remember right, when I built mine, I painted all the parts first. It seemed to me at the time it would have been tough to get good paint coverage once built. It builds into a rather sturdy trailer.

I sure hope so, because even if the scores are horrible, many more people would be willing to play golf with him, and he would have a lot more fun.

well, must be my comments about checking his math has made some sort of impression. I noticed lately he is using an app on his phone to keep track of his shots, and ironically, still missing some, but, it does seem like he is making an attempt of some sort [to be honest on his score, or to shut me up......, not sure which yet]. I have decided to just keep reminding him at the end of each hole if his math seems suspect to me. I figure eventually he will keep actual score, or stop golfing with me, lol. on a side note, last two weeks he has moaned about his horrible scores, in my head I was saying to myself, 'gee, lot tougher game when you keep actual score'.

I think the most at one time was 40. A friend had bought a big collection and had a lot of complete kits for $5 each. NNL East usually results in 20 or so at a time.

I scored a 9, guess I’m about 1/2 way there, lol. And I’m 48..... my kids think I’m older than dirt though....

Still trying to figure out how to say something without it going sideways, although I did tell him last week to check his math on a couple of holes....., his reply was ‘ sometimes I forget....’. Seems like an important part of the game , what with it being score driven and all...

Thanks for the comments guys. Luckily, the leauge we play in is more a social league than a ‘money’ leauge. Thank goodness he doesn’t participate in skins, that would really cause an issue. I’ve had the conversation with other friends about the ‘how can ya tell if you’re improving if you fudge your scores’ in regards to this guy, and, if he shanks one in the woods, he’s in there for 10 minutes ball hunting. It’s funny/sad, cause I’m playing tomorrow with another buddy ( who can count), and he’s like, ‘ he isn’t going is he?’. I know I have to say something to him about this, just gotta find a way to do it. I’m half tempted at next leauge night to just say, dude, score correct from here on in, or I’m out. And to give you an idea of what I’m talking about, 3 weeks ago and prior, he’s shooting 55-65 for 9, all of a sudden he’s in the mid 40’s for 9, boggles the mind...... I’ll update this during the week after our league night, I just gotta say something cause the more I think about it, the more it bothers me. thanks again for reading.

These are the rarest stuff I have, all complete, all unbuilt. The GMC has the turbine engine , and the prestige rig kits have 2 cars, these kits are mammoth.

I’m sure a lot of you guys play golf, I started 2 years ago. Here is my story/dilemma, the guy that got me hooked on it is my daughters father in law, he invited me out one day, we played, I was hooked, that was in July 2 years ago. So, come the next spring, thru talking with other friends, I was asked to join a league, I wanted to do it for the playing time, the practice, learning the game, and to meet new people. Well, I also needed a partner, so due to proximity and other forces, I asked my daughters father in law if he was interested, he was, and we became a team. The first season went as expected, we whacked and hacked our way thru the season, we both played on the same level( horrible), but had a lot of fun doing it. He’s been playing for 2 years longer than I, and outside of league, we played a lot, as I learned the rules of the game, I became a little more diligent in score keeping. Outside of league early on, we wouldn’t count drops and sometimes would just say mulligan on a horrible shot. Well, fast forward a year, same league, same weekend play, but I’ve noticed in both, that his math sufferers, he doesn’t count drops, in league if the other guys aren’t paying attention, he doesn’t count strokes, and I’ve come to think/see when he is ‘given’ a ‘good enough’ put, it doesn’t count as a stroke in his eyes. On weekends when a group of us plays, I hear the same stuff from the other two players, ‘man, he can’t count’. I’m of the line of thinking, if ya shoot a 15 on a hole, ya shot a 15, own it, and figure out how to fix it, it’s about honor, and being truthful , no matter what the outcome. My dilemma is, he’s family, we play a lot of golf together, but his math, and the way he acts about his scores are killing me, I wanna say something, but don’t want to create a rift in the family . thoughts? Or should I just outright call him on it, and let the ball roll where it will? and ya, it seems petty, but it drives me nuts when you play a game and can’t be honest about it. just had to rant a little about this....., thanks for reading .

Said it before here somewhere, but if the charger was made as a two door, I think it’d sell like mad, imagine that in hellcat form......., and I’m a Chevy guy!

Oh man, I remember getting the revell visible engine as a kid (11 or 12 years old), built it myself, and it actually worked ( let’s face it, at that age we were using tube glue and slathering it on), no idea what became of it, and would get another if I could find the motorized version ‘locally’ for reasonable money.

The other funny thing that comes to mind is the Olds Cutlass, went rwd to fwd and one year, had both at the same time....

I think maybe the biggest reason some of these name plates coming back into use makes us nuts is due to the lack of the evolution of the name. Stick with me here.... corvette, the 53 looks nothing like the 2018 version , but we have seen the name/car evolve, so we can relate. Now, if we take the lemans name plate, and the huge gap of time in between use, and the last product it was on....., well, there’s the what makes us nuts factor, one extreme to another really, with no ‘inbetween’. now atleast with the Camaro and challenger vehicles, it seems to be ok because the retro look is close enough to the ‘original’ style to be ‘worthy’ of the name plate. oddly enough, I don’t think anyone would be upset if the celebrity or citation name plates got used again? just my ramblings, your mileage may vary....

saw those at NNL East, they looked quite good.

It’s quite clear to me the automotive industry has lost its mind....... i can only hope it has a dual range 37 speed trans in it, cause 9 and 10 speeds just aren’t enough.... and yes, that is sarcasm, I work on this stuff everyday, and all I hear is ‘boy, my vehicle seems to shift a lot.....’

Not sure where this is supposed to fit in the lineup of vehicles, the traverse is now slightly smaller than a Tahoe, the equinox a bit smaller , what’s it supposed to be???

Hobby lobby has a couple of ‘sets’ of brushes in the model isle, along with all the paint and supplies. I bought one of each, cheap, but have a nice selection of tips, been working well for me for a few years now.

I see a lot of planes/ships and Star Wars kits at the HL I go to, so maybe those kits will fill the voids?

Haha, one of the few kits I do not possess....

Haha, don’t worry, I have one of those too, so it shouldn’t be too much longer for that to be reissued

you guys should be thanking me everyday you see these reissues. since I got back into building, I have been buying oop kits, and sure enough, within two years they have all been slated for reissue, you're welcome

Hit hobby lobby yesterday,

To wrap the pull rope around, notch holds the end of the rope

Why they didn’t do a 2 door version of the charger is beyond me, the latest body style of that would be killer with 2 less doors....

And all this time, I thought Joe Dirt had a Dodge.....
