  1. I saw similar thing only it cutoff the person sentence halfway through
  2. Ok. What's going on with revell
  3. Also Is there an option to just have all the ads at the bottom of a thread. I have never clicked on any ad ever because it's the internet and it's not smart to click on links that you dont know where it will take you. If the ads were stacked at the bottom they would still load but wouldn't be in the way. Also do you only get paid if people click or do they just need to load.
  4. The ads seem inconsistent now. The last topic I had looked like 2 or 3 pages of scrolling (on my phone), then another thread has just 1 small ad at the bottom. EDIT: I too just got 1 ad in the middle of a person's post. Not in between posts. In the middle, cutting off a sentence. At least this one was for hockey jerseys and not dating sites that I was getting last week. Edit2: ironically I got an ad for an ad blocker Edit3: changed my settings from dont block ads to block ads. I enjoy looking at people's models too much to stop using this site. If you get a paid sub to disable ads I will pay. Sorry. There is still way too many ad they are incredibly intrusive
  5. Thanks for the link to that. I will give it a couple of weeks and see how it is then. As I said, I know people need the ads for revenue but it's way too much. Between the popup ads, the ad at the top that u can never truly remove and the full page of ads in between random posts, it like 600% too much. I cant even see this full post because of the ads
  6. I would donate to not have to see these ads. In fact the amount of ads thrown in my face is making me want to stay away completely. I hate to say it, but it's TRUE. having a pop up ad on click is annoying and is causing me to look elsewhere Not the same but I had used a piece of software for literally years. They started randomly forcing ads and I immediately stopped using it. I went as far as contacting the company and telling them that forced ads drove me away. I understand the site need to make money but the amount of ads is overwhelming
  7. As much as I enjoy a good dig at people, I too saw an ad for an Asian dating website. However I have never looked, search or anything like that ever. Not dating or anything. It's a work phone too so it's a double no on that. Literally the only thing I look at on my phone Is this site, hockey, star wars and warcraft. edit. Now I'm getting ads for womans leggings and bras. Maybe if you dont have enough targeted ads they just give random. Also ll bean clothing. edit2, the ads are also way more intrusive now. I get a popup ad when I enter general, and one hovering at the top of my screen at all times. Even if I hide it, it pops up when it switches ads. It reminds me of those old free hosting sites like geocities where you got 40% ads on your page. Ads are pretty heavy now. Dare I say 200% too much
  8. this is truly top notch
  9. I dont remember if it was this site or a different site. but Many years ago I posted a model and asked to have people criticize the issues. I wanted to put it in a contest and wanted honest opinions on what I could do better. When I post a thread on here is a model I built, I'm just sharing a passion of mine. Maybe it's good or not but I dont post for praise just to share. Sure it's nice if people like it or comment but I know my models are not as good as orher peoples. For the praise of others I typically only respond if something really grabs my attention. an unusual subject or really nice build.
  10. I use them on my PC but not my phone. I spend most of my time using it on my phone.
  11. I thought they were bought a year ago. I would be surprised but who knows
  12. Wife made me spend the day with her and her family. went to lunch and movie. After they decided to go back to their house. 2 of them fell asleep the other went into a different room because she didn't want to watch the TV show on. My wife fell asleep too. Leaving me sitting there by myself for 1.5 hours. she wonders why I never want to go with them
  13. That is probably it. Its been pretty horrible lately. I remember saying it was super disgusting outside when I painted it I haven't repainted it yet. Been so lazy lately
  14. I figured I would give a quick update. For some reason the tamiya red paint I used was drying dull red in random spots. I tried to sand the spots and go again. I finally got it all even and went to do a gloss coat but got distracted and put on a small spot way too heavy. I sanded it down there and went to do again and some reason I got very tiny bubbles in the paint. I sanded again but had to take it down to the plastic because I couldn't get it even. I washed it all off and going to try again. I might just pick a different red since this can might be bad. In the past I would have either tossed it or given up but this is such a neat model I want to get it right. Sad part, the spot messed up would have been covered by another piece so I could have left it and would not be visible
  15. I read somewhere that vw will probably bring back the beetle in electric. I will not buy electric cars because I live in apartment so I dont have a place to charge it
  16. I dont think I will. I used to have a 2006 gti that I got tuned and it made it really quick and the vw wiped it during a service. Honestly, its quick enough for me. I used to own a 2016 mustang gt with the 400+ hp. It was too fast for me. I am really enjoying it so far. Only problem is a terrible blindspot on the driver's side, but it has the sensors
  17. It has the 2.0 turbo. It's much quicker than my fiesta that I traded in but much slower than my long gone 2016 mustang gt
  18. Nearly every day I peruse the forum for new threads and I really enjoy doing it. Last Wednesday I was in the Under Glass section and saw a baja beetle thread. It looked really cool. I went to Amazon and ordered up the tamiya kit. I did some more searching and found the 2019 beetle was finished being built last month. I knew they were being discontinued but I hadn't realized it was actually upon us I searched online for the different prices and contacted a couple of dealers in the area and found one had the exact one I liked and would sell it for 4000 under sticker including destination fees. Other dealers offered prices but not anywhere near this price. I went in to the dealership and looked at it and spoke to the salesperson. After back and forth about the price he finally agreed to the quoted price that was given when I told him I would walk. Everything went together fine after a rough start but the price was too good to walk because of a bad salesperson. The next closest price was 2000 higher Anyway I am now the owner of a new 2019 beetle...all because of a model thread
  19. I hate to bump up old threads but this model got me to take a look at vw beetles again. I had not remembered that they were discontinued after this year. After further research I found they stopped building them in June or July. Before it was too late I traded in my 1:1 Ford for a new 1:1 beetle
  20. thank you very much for checking. i wanted to verify because it will be the first tamiya kit i got without it thanks again
  21. I just got the tamiya 66 vw beetle and found no decals. Is it supposed to include them
  22. I typically do clean up on any piece visible but if it's not visible I dont bother. Like I wont do any cleanup on interior tub if the chassis covers it.
  23. It's too much now. I hate to say it but revell and amt kits are not good enough for that price point. Only with the 40% off Tamiya kits are that price and are worlds better
