  1. What he said. Look at the many online model sites and you'll find what you'll need.
  2. I still remember seeing one of these at an All British Field Meet and I wasn't impressed. The owner was very friendly and had everything opened and talked to us about it.
  3. Had a similar situation years ago (not meds) where FedEx wouldn't deliver a Chewy order because of the weather. I told them I've been out driving around the streets and I could drive to the FedEx place and pick it up myself! It was about half hour from me.
  4. Always like watching them work on a bag or whatever to get out the contents. They can be loud at times but I find it funny when it sounds like a heated conversation among many of them.
  5. Fed Ex. They were supposed to pick up a pre-paid Fed-Ex package from us yesterday morning but didn't show up. Wife called at noon and they said they'd be here in 2 hours. 5pm and still no pick up so wife calls and they have the address and confirmation # all wrong. Said they'd pick it up today. It's some stuff the wife had to do to be sent to a lab and can't do it on the weekend so supposedly they'll show up Monday. Fed-Ex sucks!!!
  6. Falcon Ranchero made me smile with the discovery of a couple of tunes from the 70's. I'm glad you enjoyed them and hope you discover some other great music from that era.
  7. The past few weeks I've looked for super glue at my local store. I go grocery shopping and wander down to the section with paint and adhesives but all the hooks with super glue are empty. I buy Loctite or Duro brand and want the gel type. Luckily I don't need it right now but when I'm half way thru a tube I make sure to have some when that's gone. I wonder what the story is.
  8. Lots of things come to mind when this happens like important mail that you may be waiting for and time sensitive mail, etc. And I wonder what they do with all this mail that isn't being delivered. Toss it in a pile in the corner of the post office?! You're gonna have to deliver it sometime and they're only compounding the problem. Just stupid.
  9. One of the old Lindberg kits released thru Dirt Track Racecars. These are fun and simple models that I enjoy building from time to time without much effort. Painted with Testors yellow and added some aftermarket wheels and tires that I don't remember where I got them from. Pictures were taken with a new phone so trying to get that figured out.
  10. I should've said in the original post......the wood in the bed is a decal I had in my stash. Sorry to mislead anyone but I could never do that nice of a job with paint!
  11. This AMT '53 Ford is still a nice kit after all these years. Used Testors red on this Coca-Cola model. I need to paint the vending machine that comes with the kit but masking it looks like a challenge.
  12. That sure looks good! Driver figure really adds to it.
  13. This hasn't had an update for quite some time so thought I'd say something. This time of year it's been fun to see the squirrels fatten up a bit and that means they demand more food. I toss out an assortment of seeds every day. The birds benefit too. There are usually 4,5,6 squirrels at a time. There have been 8 a few times. Today I counted 10! Might be getting a little out of hand. ๐Ÿคจ
  14. A very good write-up about the kit and your building experience. The model looks great!
  15. It's good that you pointed out the materials to make this model because I would've never known. Excellent job!
  16. This stuff is really cool! I don't do rockets but can appreciate other hobbies especially when these great pictures are shared. My rocket experience as a kid was one of those little plastic ones that you used baking soda and vinegar with a wad of toilet paper shoved in the bottom. ๐Ÿ˜„
  17. Not a big fan of baseball but this guy sure made me know who he was and gave me lots of laughs. Happy he made it to 90 but sad to hear of his passing.
  18. Make it a '68 with a long bed and I'll buy one in a second.
  19. Looks good! I built this model a few years ago and had fun with it. Sometimes you need to build this kind of model and get away from the perfect paint jobs, etc. Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
  20. The people looting and starting fires in California. Those people!
  21. Your model turned out pretty good. There have been many times I don't buy kits like this because it's MPC and I know it won't be fun to build. You did good!
  22. I was going to say what the others already said. That's a very nice looking model. MPC kits can be fiddly but yours looks perfect.
  23. I rarely watch these review videos as I mostly rely on the magazine reviews for my info. I have noticed that even they sometimes confuse me when they point out all the flaws and then finish with "recommended". Huh? I should widen my knowledge by watching more of these videos but would probably grow tired of them quickly. Sounds like this A4 Garage outfit might be good though.
