  1. Wow, that turned out pretty good with a limited amount of work. Always like it when someone takes a kit and does something different with it especially when it's a race car. Shows off their skill and imagination. Thanks for sharing.
  2. Finally got my package from Big Donkey Resin. Took almost 3 weeks while it traveled half way around the world but box and contents were in good shape. He said this has happened 4 times this year and the post office doesn't know why. Then I guess it will continue to happen.
  3. The Vega was always my favorite funny car and especially enjoyed watching the Green Elephant in the Northwest so I will be getting this model.
  4. Great looking model! Thanks for the paint info as I have to build this one soon. Your extra work adds a lot to this model.
  5. My wife is a Meat Loaf fan (I'm not) and I read this to her and she agreed and said "yeah I can see what you're saying".
  6. I never destroyed any of my models as a kid but remember being at my friends house when he did it. Lit them on fire and sprayed some lighter fluid on the burning models from a pint can and the flame started climbing up the stream to the can. He stopped it before bad things were about to happen.
  7. "I don't think that's Pete"
  8. Nice. Very nice! I was never able to find a resin Camaro body in stock anywhere.
  9. That's a great looking model and I like the unique "camera car" subject you chose.
  10. Scene after scene is great in their own way. I remember the first time I saw this I was amazed at the acting and how dumb these guys were. Seemed as if they were really that dumb and not even acting. They deserve a lot of credit for that. And yes, the music is very good and I'm not really a fan of that type but it fits the movie perfectly.
  11. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law get a batch of these little guys every so often. Different breeds to add to the farm. Have taken care of them sometimes myself. Fun to watch them grow and see the change, then transferred to the coop, then let them out to free range. The eggs are so much richer compared to the basic ones from the store. Have fun!
  12. I have always liked Talking Heads and the "funky rhythm" has a lot to do with it. A lot of their music has a good percussion beat.
  13. Yes, you captured the character very well. Nice job.
  14. Those were the days! Your model looks great and I enjoyed looking at ALL your details. Very nice work!
  15. That must've been scary. Glad she's alright but that's quite a "cold".
  16. Several years ago I bought a Tamiya brand sprue cutter and only use them for that purpose. Best thing I've bought in a long time.
  17. My USPS problem has just taken a hilarious turn. My package is in Guam!!!! Even better, it says it departed from there April 16th at 1:11 am. That's tomorrow but I guess they're a day ahead. Would it be ok for me to say I hate USPS?
  18. I filed a claim with USPS just hoping somebody would wake up and do something but after reading the above post I doubt anything will happen. Didn't expect it anyway but not gonna just sit here and do nothing. My package is from Big Donkey Resin and I contacted him to let him know what's going on. He's a good guy and I told him there's nothing I want him to do but also told him the USPS is the last outfit I'd use to ship stuff. This sort of thing can reflect on his business if it happens often. Some people would be hesitant to order anything. I just got an order from Chewy who uses FedEx and got it in 2 days. Quick order fill and quick delivery. UPS is still may favorite. Never seem to have a problem with them.
  19. Still waiting for USPS to do their job and deliver my package. Tracking hasn't updated since last week. April 5th it arrived at the facility in PA and then just says it's in transit to the next facility. No it's not. I'm guessing they lost it.
  20. Very nice looking model! I wonder if you clear coated the decals it would've helped? I've done that with old decals and it seems to save them. Anyway, you did a great job with them.
  21. It was nice to thumb through it and see nothing but CARS. Cars and more cars. I have always enjoyed the kit reviews as they are so very thorough. Have only read the Grumpy Vega review and it's sad and entertaining at the same time pointing out how far from the actual car the kit is.
  22. Let me join you with the same situation. Spent awhile looking things up on the Internet trying to educate myself on the 2 dose vs. 1 dose and but in the end I can't really get a definite answer. I understand what is said but guess I wanted to reassure myself of what are my odds toward the future of the juice they injected into me. My wife got hers with me and said the shot hurt and has a little pain but I felt much of nothing. Been having some fun with her on my fake symptoms but she doesn't think it's funny. As you said, we'll see what tomorrow brings.
  23. Just no excuse for this type of service. My package is from Big Donkey Resin and I hate to burden him with this. I'll wait and see what happens.
  24. I agree with everyone's comments. Saw one of these at an outdoor car show one time. Only time I've seen one.
