Robby The Robot
TonyK replied to Sonorandog's topic in All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
I can tell a lot of work went into this. Looks great! I can almost hear the robot speak. ? -
What's with the U.S.Post office these days?
TonyK replied to styromaniac's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Had a model sent from Salvino's. USPS tracking was spot on when I would get it. There's hope. -
Interesting when that happens sometimes. You wonder if they have so much business that you don't matter to them or do they just suck as a company? It's just plain rude. Glad you got it fixed. I've always made a point to thank a good company that fixed something and tell them they'll be the first one I call if I have a problem in the future.

What did you see on the road today?
TonyK replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Saw a Cybertruck today and they are very ugly. Thought about grabbing my phone to take a pic but I just sat there stunned watching it drive by. -
He was great in anything he was in. And to think he was best buddies with one of my other favorites, Don Rickles.

I like to go back to my journalism expertise from my high school paper days when looking at our local newspaper. I point out headlines and news articles to my wife that are failures. I still remember how I was taught and this is from the 70's! But, like so many things today, nobody cares to do a good job and be proud of their work.

Fun and an excellent job on the models and diorama. Don't know which car I like better. Very nice!

Shelley Duvall (The Shining),has passed away.
TonyK replied to NYLIBUD's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
The Shining was a bad movie for me too but I suppose both Shelley Duvall and Nicholson did a good job doing what was asked of them. I still think The Exorcist was the worst movie ever. The Shining was too long but these types of movies aren't for me. I find them boring. I do recall seeing Shelley Duvall in other movies where you could appreciate her character more. -
1/24 Jaguar XK120
TonyK replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
A very sharp looking model! The driver figure adds a lot to the finished look. -
I'm not very educated with the technical part of my phone but it's old so it doesn't update anymore. There's a permanent "1" displayed on the screen on the settings icon. If I try to update it attempts for awhile and then gives up. The wife and I plan to get new phones but hers is newer than mine and mine does what I need it to do so I'm in no hurry.

Tamiya 2002 WRC W/Drivers
TonyK replied to 69H.O.Firebird's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Nice job! Yes, Tamiya models are always a joy to build. -
Way back in high school a guy had a beef tongue sandwich and we all laughed and from then on his nickname was beef tongue, of course. I had never heard or thought about it up to that point. I've seen it in the meat section at the store and it doesn't look like something I'd want to buy. You guys have educated me a bit on it but still prefer eating the usual parts I've had all these years.

Quite a story and a great tribute to him with this great looking diorama. Sorry to hear about your loss.
-
Read that yesterday and happy to see the progress.

When I was young, I worked with an older guy who retired and did what you mentioned with the same result. He was fit and active while working and he should've kept that up in retirement. I know I do.
-
Very nice! A great replica of those times. Moebius kits are enjoyable to build.
-
Sad but making progress. I just wish he could've decided on his own to retire. Hate for it to end this way.

Our 2 Westies we had used to watch fireworks from our front window and sometimes bark at certain ones in the street. Funny to watch them and nice they weren't afraid. The occasional thunder we'd get would just make them mad. They'd bark and have the attitude "knock that **** off". Last year was the first 4th we had with our 2 rescue dogs and they seemed fine. They were aware but ok with it. Hopefully it will be the same this year. But, if a UPS truck or FedEx truck comes down the street...... that gets them going!

I didn't even bother watching the video last month and might not this month. Your comments are a pretty good indication of what's going on.
-
No!!! I enjoy buying from them now and then.

Casey Luna Sprint
TonyK replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Great looking model. I've built a few of these and know they aren't easy. Great job! -
Robby the Robot
TonyK replied to Sonorandog's topic in WIP: All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
Those seams and photo etch pieces make me cringe. You're a champ for sticking with this. I wish you luck and look forward to the finished model. -
Hopefully you don't get a bunch of rain for awhile.
