The squirrels that come to my yard have gotten as bad as my dogs. Most days the squirrels come to the door and/or patio and demand breakfast and dinner. They hang around and get all excited when they see me. Similar to my dogs who won't leave me alone when it's meal time. Of course the dogs are much more respectful and know their place but the squirrels can't be taught with a rolled up newspaper. ?

Had no idea this happened. Sad I didn't see anything about this until now as he had a great history. Always liked that Scarab.

A dead mouse in a trap I set out last night. Go out before dark to put traps back in the shed before I let the dogs out and there it is. ? Been chasing a mole around for a couple of weeks so maybe this will be my lucky day.

My annual visit to the dermatologist revealed "I don't like the look of that" comment from him so he cut a dime sized spot from my upper arm and sent it to the lab. Sure enough it came back as cancer so now I get to go back this week so he can cut all around that area just to make sure there's nothing left to chance. He reassured me I'm ok so that's good but gonna cut enough to require stitches and can't go swimming and can't lift over 10 pounds for 2 weeks, etc. Geez! This is a reminder for everyone to add this to the long list of health checkups to avoid anything that can sneak up on you.

I like that Duster. Been holding off buying these Mopar models but think it's time for that one.

That's a lot of work you did to create a unique motorcycle. Very cool looking!

I've been hoping for some kind of news on where all those people are selling their goods now. Relied on Shapeways for figures and other items for many years.

That's a funky looking car that I don't remember seeing before. Great looking model and paint job. Those decals had to be tough.

This is different. Very cool! Nice, clean work.

Yep, your model turned out real nice. I built the red version many years ago and I seem to remember it was no picnic. Thanks for sharing.

Good point. What I find so often is that I've already built models that are being reissued so I just sigh and move on.

Nice job! Yes, they are good kits.

I feel for you. Been there recently with 2 dogs. A cat as a companion as you described would be just as bad.

Fasted today for my annual blood letting before my annual checkup in a couple of weeks. The medical center I go to every year moved the lab to another building so I walked over there and waited for it to open at 7:30. No nice waiting room as before and once they unlocked the door I found out I'm not in their system and there's no lab request. Apparently this place is a private company operating within the "system" but doesn't have the previous records. I needed to call my doctor who is in the same "system" and have him send a request. Never had to do this for the past 20 years. Would've been good to know before my whole fasting plan. So I call my doctor and the girl kept saying she couldn't find me on her computer. Again, been going to this guy for 20 years or more. On hold a couple of times and finally she said she'd put in the request. Doesn't ask me where I need it sent to. So I go to the My Chart website and send a message directly to the care team and give them all the info which should get a result. They've been reliable in the past. btw, I know my heart is good because it's been beating awfully hard all morning with all the stress I've gone through.

So often people live in their own little world and don't think about what they do may have an effect on others.

What a beast! Little bit of bad weather in some of that video but the drivers handled it.

Odd that I don't see these kits listed on the Moebius website.

Some of those HO scale buildings look like they'd be a fun project but sure are expensive. Since you said you already had some I can see you might as well build them. I look forward to seeing your progress.

My wife talks about a 3rd dog every once in awhile when she looks at the rescue pictures but then decides against it. I think it could be fun but my main concern is trying to walk 3 dogs. The 2 I have now are a handful on a walk so don't think it would work. Perhaps a separate walk would work like I used to do with our old Westie in her last months. But, it might never happen.

Excellent!

The above answers are true. For me, most of my models are kept simple so I just sand all the mold lines off, then wash the body, and I'm most likely spraying Testors or Tamiya paint from the can and it lays on the bare plastic just fine. So you can take all the suggestions you get and use them according to your building preference.

Great pictures and great work!

Excellent! A joy to look at. You don't need any tips because this was done so well. A great subject too with the dirt bike.

They have the 40% off every other week. Great prices on those kits.

I forgot how great this car looked and your model looks great too. The decals look fine to me but I can see they must've been a real challenge.
