Not very good but seeing the weather in some other areas I'm not going to complain.

I have many models going at the same time and a couple of things motivate me to finish them. One is when you suddenly realize it's darn near done and has been sitting off to the side while you've started another one. The other is when you can't find a part or two and when you find them it's best to get them glued on and continue before it happens again. Yes, music is a must and the tempo/beat helps when shaking a bottle of paint.

Issue 226 is On Its Way
TonyK replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
I'm happy to say I got mine in Oregon. Hope the rest of you get yours soon. -
Turned on my tv this afternoon and I have no NHL channel. Called Comcast (actually my wife did) and spent time going through the umpteen questions from the automated system. Finally they will call us back which they did and got to talk to a live person. Again, my wife is doing this because I have a hard time understanding broken English. Nothing against the person on the phone but I just have a hard time with it. Spent an hour answering stupid questions such as what kind of tv we have and where is it at, etc. oh heaven's to Betsy!?! Asked if we used the voice command on the remote or clicked the numbers. Are you kidding?! Kept doing things but nothing ever got my channel working. Finally ended the call with them saying they will continue to do things that may take up to 2 hours. Well, was hoping to watch a hockey game in 1 hour and I highly doubt it will be fixed. I'm wondering if there's a problem on the NHL network end but apparently Comcast doesn't have this information.

Issue 226 is On Its Way

I'm being patient but when you see all the different places getting their magazine and even a couple of other countries you start to get frustrated. Very strange how it's a random delivery process. -
Issue 226 is On Its Way
TonyK replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
A couple of issues ago I never got the magazine. They sent a replacement which is nice but I feel bad that they needed to do this because of someone else's incompetence. Got a feeling it's happened again. -
Got this from Hobby Lobby as a winter project. All parts are pre-colored and need to be glued (glue included) and a lot of things need to be formed/created from the materials provided. Pillows, bedding, window coverings, etc. Some of this is kind of fun and some of it is challenging but overall enjoyable for something different. I included a couple of figures to liven things up.

Excellent work! The weathering, diorama and photography are great!

Yep, I hear ya. I probably will buy your oranges from the grocery store soon. The last few days have been sunny and in the 70's so I'm not complaining now. Lots of yardwork being done.

Revell contact info in the USA
TonyK replied to WillyBilly's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes, I have contacted them about a missing part and got a replacement sent to me. Also contacted them a few years ago about reissuing a certain kit and got a reply. Good for them! -
Yesterday was sunny, no wind or rain. Today we're back to the wind and rain. <sigh>

Great! I'm old and not good with change. 🤣

This points out how long it's been since I've posted any photos. I keep meaning to share some pics of models but haven't so now I guess I need to do it a different way. I don't have my pictures available anywhere else other than my computer.

Hmmmm Lyn St. James Secret decals. Might have to see if I have an extra one of these kits and get those decals.
-
Yep, these guys are on a roll. Got my stupid text today too. Idiots.

Cold, wind and rain every day. Temperature never makes it to 50. Sick of it.

Another new "PayPal" scam via email...
TonyK replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I was trying to be funny. That's why I included the little "wink face". -
Wife had that done but they gave her some drug that relaxed her. Not completely out but enough so they could do what they needed. Still had some gagging but that's to be expected.

Mine will be on the next wagon train to Oregon so it will be awhile. -
Hobby Lobby Inventory reduction sale
TonyK replied to magicmustang's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Went to the Hobby Lobby by me on Monday to grab a can of paint and saw nothing like this. Have to walk all the way to the back of the store past 57 little shelf units of odds and ends but didn't see anything special. Oh, and saw the same model inventory from any other time I dropped in to the store. -
I gave up on Michaels years ago. Joann Fabrics are closing stores now including one up the street from me and I never set foot in Walmart so none of that has affected me. I go to Hobby Lobby once in awhile for some paint if I run out and their selection of kits are the same as it was six months ago. I've relied on buying online for all my model needs. I try to plan ahead and make my purchases wisely. Shipping costs are a pain but I really have no other choice.

I was allergic to chocolate as a kid too. Along with a bunch of other foods. Made Halloween and Christmas a real pain for me. Still not big into chocolate as an adult.

Comparison between Tamiya and Rustoleum
TonyK replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Now you tell me! LOL Yes, I've got the extra nozzles from them in the past. You'd think they would fix that problem since some people might use their product and never buy it again.
