Those are pretty darn nice! I have an old Protar 250 GTO that I've never built because I don't think I have the talent to make it as great as I want it to be. It's one of my favorite cars of all time so want to do it right. I really should try though.

It seems there are never any games broadcast on Thursday so I just watch the NHL show that drops in on all the games for a bit to show you "some" of the games. Gets frustrating though when I start to get involved and they leave for another game.

Always liked him as a guest on the talk shows but felt bad because it always seemed he was rushed. He offered some good entertainment and education about each animal.

I've got plenty of figures from Shapeways as they have a HUGE selection. Agree with the above mentioned quality. Most have been pretty good but had a few that were missing a little bit of it or just not very detailed. Have always washed them in soapy water and primed before painting.

I see it as "conversation" as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Model Railroader was mentioned above and the funny thing about that magazine is I've always found it fascinating even though I'm not involved in the hobby. Was into it a long time ago but I think I like it for the talented people who can create a vast subject. That's why I try to enjoy FSM as I like anything that we're all enjoying as a hobby.

I remember Fun with Dick and Jane at the drive-in and always thought it was a funny story and some good actors in it. Yes, Just Shoot Me was a good show.

Yes, wrote that one down and hope to add other options as well. As mentioned from others, some paints are either too glossy or too flat to match the Black Chrome trim. I want something to match it as I've already got the Tamiya and Testors colors figured out and they have their place.

Black Chrome Trim has been one of my favorites too. Use it all the time. There's been a couple of suggestions on a replacement and I think I've written them down somewhere but darned if I can find it now.

And a couple of emails to them got me nowhere so they'll lose another reader once my subscription runs out.

The problem I have with the curbside/takeout situation is who gets the tip money? The kitchen folks made it and someone brings it out. That's it. So where does your tip money go?

Also been there. Well, not the quitting part but I've had all the sub assemblies looking great but they won't come together properly. This is a big reason I work on 3-5 models at a time. I get frustrated with one so move on to another that makes me happy and come back to another when I feel like working out the kinks again. I have looked thru my stash for a model I think might be easy and work on that to keep my happiness of building alive. Of course that can sometimes bite you in the you know what. Just hang in there.

Great looking model and a different version that I haven't seen before. And yes, the history is an added bonus.

Hopefully this is ok but happy to have scheduled our vaccine appointments today. Been trying for days at so many locations but kept hitting a dead end and now I have dates for the wife and I about 10 days from now. Letting anyone else know if you've experienced the same thing, keep trying because I did it so you can too. Hoping we can beat this thing and I can go to the Indycar races this year in September!

A very good looking model and I like your outdoor pictures. Thanks for the info on the kit.

Good looking dog. I hate reading these things but understand what is inevitable. I tear up for the owners that have to deal with this and just don't know how I will cope when it comes time for me and our 2 dogs. My thoughts are with you. Thanks for sharing this nice picture.

Sharp, very sharp build. And I noticed the nice work you did on the tires right away. Nice paint job too!

Hate to lose another one already but Jessica Walter dies at age 80. Never really watched her in anything but will always remember her in my favorite movie, Grand Prix.

Nice paint and a very sharp looking model. Always liked these cars especially the TR7.

Looks like some good subjects. I have confidence in everyone involved with this magazine and renewed for 3 years so keep it coming!

Always liked him in so many roles through the years. Was happy to see him in the Goldbergs. He was a great addition to the comedy in that show. I will miss him.

Great job on this! I like your photo setting too.

Saw those kits on a website recently and thought they would be a fun quick project but kept myself from buying them. Nice to see yours all built and you did a nice job.

I'd like to know what happened to Tower Hobbies. For years they were my #1 online store for models and paints but for the last couple of years I haven't ordered from them as they don't have anything in stock or are the last place to get stock in when everyone else has had the models available for quite some time.

Your patience and skill are amazing! This type of old motorcycle brings back memories. I look forward to more of your work.
