If I see a built one, I might be interested.

Out of my build break, to start another dead-end project I may finish this one just because I really feel it. Don't want much scratchin' done on this, just weathering. 1956 Revell Del Ray. Shaved the trim off one side, off the door on the other, and left "Rolet" on the left side. Green door, white roof.... I know about the overspray, the mark on the right rear, and the shirt-mark in the roof. These will be covered up. Ford V8 wheels, Ford engine (from a Fairlane, I believe,) and a Fleetline grille. Dropped in the front with cheater Dunlops in the back.

The pack on my back is aching These straps seem to cut me like a knife

Personally, a built model is worth bupkis to me. I suppose it's because I build, as well. I don't find a built model as interesting as a painted canvas. I suppose it's more because I can feel subjects more diverse in a painting than a car. Still, I can see that people do put effort into these models. I would just rather slave over something myself, and then it would be worth more than anything to me.

Yep, Newman wrote it and did the first version of it on the "12 Songs" LP.

Apparently somebody in France makes a 1/24 scale Peel P50 and a Peel Trident. He supposedly sells them on eBay, but I can't find them on there.

If you have anything to trade I have that Impala but with no wheels.

Engine bay looks REAL! Great angle!

I don't think anybody will get this so I'll say it. So Long Dad -Randy Newman Was later covered by Harry Nilsson on "Nilsson Sings Newman," a really, really great album.

I loved that David Soul song.

I remove every piece that I can and cover up any markings on the box with brown paper.

This guy near me has a Craigslist ad. Judging by his wall of old kits, I'd say he has money on hand to buy kits. https://maine.craigslist.org/tag/4705477527.html

Jim is absolutely right on. I was going to use the word "tact" as well but decided to see if somebody else would get it first

I wasn't sure because the post office has a lot of inane rules.

I know. It was part of my evidence. People don't kill just because the talking, glowing box told them to. They have some mental issue, may not always be major, but a mental issue.

I'm sixteen years old and I play video games of this caliber. I've been playing them for at least 6 years. Let's see, how many people have I killed.....? None. Zero. Zip. Never had random outbursts of anger where I've injured others, never been in a fight for crissakes. It's people with sick minds that kill other people. I bet if we were in the 60s you'd be saying the new-fangled television made Charles Whitman go psycho too, right? Now let's go back to the topic at hand.

I've gotten two packages so far that came in the bubble mailers, the brown ones, say about a third the size of a sheet of paper. Can I add my own labels on there, tape up the ripped open end of it, and reuse it?

The quaint old south side scenery is quaint no more Just older than before Go up the steps and down the hallway

I may get back to building again soon.

X2 on opening the grille. I did that with mine and it looks 1000 times better.

I don't think you get it. There's a difference between constructive criticism and "trashing," as you put it. Say somebody makes a Bel Air and paints the chrome trim on. Guy is a new modeler and gets some paint outside the lines. You could say one of these two things: Constructive: "Try putting masking tape around the trim when you paint it. I find that it helps me get better results." Trashing: "Your trim sucks!" Everybody here has a right to be respected as long as they themselves are respectful. Trashing somebody's build is never respectful.

If you're going to make it out of clay and vacuform it, it's easy to make a vacuum former. http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-DIY-Vacuum-Former/?ALLSTEPS

Yawn. The only Supras I like are the Tom's Castrol and the AuCerumo JGTC beasts.

Somebody else who likes Marinas! Honestly, what's so bad about them?

Peel P50 and Peel Trident in 1/24!!
