  1. MST3K always makes a bad movie good. I believe I saw this originally back when we had a local Saturday night show that would do 2 "B" movies and an old serial clip from days gone by. Saw a lot of bad movies that I later saw again thanks to MST3K.
  2. Free? They would need to pay me to watch that!
  3. Interesting subject and it appears you're having fun with it. Surprised you didn't use wood glue. Is there a reason?
  4. The weathering is great. Like your seats too. My body was warped also.
  5. Sure hope mine gets here today. I'd treat it like a Christmas present.
  6. I met my UPS driver the other day as he came to the porch and he threw the package at me to catch. It was fairly small and soft (little kid clothes) so obviously not fragile. We're comfortable with each other so both chuckled about it.
  7. Excellent display for the train! I built the guitar. That one was fun wasn't it?
  8. I normally prefer UPS to the other carriers as they are the most reliable. Don't know what the issue is this time but it's not like them to be this flaky. The UPS driver that delivers in our neighborhood is the best. Friendly guy who always waves at me when I'm walking the dogs and I try to walk to his truck when I know he's coming to save him the trip up to our porch. The local mail carrier is real good too. It's the USPS "out there" somewhere that screws up my delivery time and destination half the time. FedEx is hit and miss.
  9. A great accomplishment! I've had several of the Metal Works kits given to me as gifts and enjoyed some and definitely DID NOT enjoy others. As your building skills show, they can end up as a nice looking model.
  10. Very nice looking model. Sometimes the older simple models can give you a chance to add your own skills and make them a much better model than anyone expected and you've done that. Nice work and I really like those gauges.
  11. Tracking info is pretty much useless. Last Monday I got the tracking info from UPS saying it will be delivered by 9 pm Sunday which I knew wasn't going to happen because UPS doesn't deliver on Sunday. Today the tracking says "delay" and "will let you know when they get more info". Delay.....no kidding.
  12. Never heard of a dog getting "bitten" by a skunk. Also, never heard of a water heater exploding. And then he spaced on the training? Sheesh.
  13. Looks great. That paint job! Real fine. I assume this is a Tamiya kit so it should've been a pleasure to build.
  14. I have a problem with the word "experts". You hear it all the time with almost any story being told to us and I always question who exactly are these experts you are referring to? It's just thrown out there to make the info seem legit.
  15. You did a nice job and glad you enjoyed the build. I bought a couple of these when they came out planning on doing the various drivers but after building the one I don't really want to build another. Maybe someday. btw, your paint looks real good.
  16. Always liked this car and you reminded me of that with your nice build. Also reminded me to kick myself for not getting decals for it when they were available.
  17. Very nice looking model. So much negative talk about this kit but I have one on the way and hope to enjoy the build no matter what is said. Your model gives me a couple of ideas so thank you for that.
  18. Things in general. My 2 dogs have become finicky eaters lately. Eat a little and then walk off and maybe decide to eat the rest later or expect us to enhance the meal with some apple or carrot pieces and then they'll eat which I don't do all the time so they will eventually eat anyway. Used to be easy to feed them. Called my pharmacy a couple weeks ago with my new Providence Medicare numbers to have them update everything so when I pick up my prescription we'll be ready. Nope. Today it came up with the old coverage so had to show the girl my card and update it. Wonder if this will happen with every different pill I go pick up until they figure it out. You try to make things smooth but people can't do their job. This morning working on models was one of those times I'd glue one thing and knock some other part off. Also building the Mooneyes dragster and not that impressed with it. I like building the older models sometimes because of the simplicity but this one doesn't strike me that way. I'll soldier on and hope it looks good when I'm done.
  19. I might like a couple of the 1/64th diecast but nothing else. I can't understand that ex Ghostbuster Cadillac. Just a mess. Maybe someday I'll see one built and better understand the point but doubt it.
  20. The Beach Boys Christmas album, Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown album, Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmas Time and John Lennon So This is Christmas. Some of the Dean Martin, Andy Williams older stuff and yes, Trans Siberian Orchestra is good. Throw in some Burl Ives. I HATE HATE Jingle Bell Rock and Rock Around the Christmas tree. Hated those since I was a kid and they still make me cringe today.
  21. I'm humored right now with a package coming from UPS as the tracking says it will be delivered Sunday by 9 pm. UPS doesn't deliver on Sunday which means they may give it to the USPS who does deliver on the weekend but I'm expecting it won't be delivered this weekend and I'll see it Monday or Tuesday or......
  22. Human nature is to complain about things that happen but we don't say anything when things go well. Many times the "irked" subject matter can be entertaining though.
  23. Excellent build! Nice photography too.
  24. You guys are on a roll!
  25. Henry Winkler in An "American" Christmas Carol is one I really like. It's from 1979 and depicts the old era and I think he does a good job. In fact I have the DVD I thought it was so good.
