  1. My friend had a Basset hound when I was a kid and I never heard it howl. We had a fort out back and when we'd spend the night in it, she would come out and spend the night with us. Thought that dog was great. Gareth, real happy for you.
  2. Well, for me the greatest racing movie ever is Grand Prix but it could be because I was 10 or 11 and saw it in the theatre with Panarama or whatever it was called. Didn't like Le Mans when it first came out. Just a little weird with the limited dialogue but...... I think it's great now mostly because of all the historic aspect of it. Enjoy.
  3. Very, very nice! Perfect paint and decal work. Really like your interior too. You do better than I could do with 2 functioning hands.
  4. Sounds like Hobby Lobby in Tennessee is the same as Oregon.
  5. For years it used to be Tower Hobbies but they always seem to be out of stock or get models in after everyone else so haven't done business with them for quite awhile now. Model Roundup is quick but their shipping cost is high to me. Good selection there and I get my Tamiya paints too. Hobbylinc is good and HobbyLink Japan is good for models you might not find stateside.
  6. I agree this is a cool commercial and not just because there's racing involved. It catches your attention and then you stick with it to see where it's going and they make a good point on selling their product. Most commercials these days are stupid and annoying which I guess companies think we'll like and then buy their product. Not me!
  7. That's an interesting funny car that I have not seen before. You nailed it and I like the real car and your model very much. So different.
  8. Wow, that's a great looking model! And thanks for the paint color. I'll have to get some of that as it looks to be a perfect match.
  9. Continued frustration with this magazine AND their website. Almost a week after I contacted customer service, they emailed me with a lame response about my problem. My problem being not able to access the model reviews on the website. I am logged in. It shows I am logged in but shows a lock next to the review subject and then says I must be a subscriber and need to login. I am both! Have tried numerous times to login again with the other windows that show up on the website but get the same result. The email I got from them suggests the usual delete all history/cookies and try again. Have done that with no positive result. Was hoping to give this magazine a fair shot when it was dumped in my lap. I build model cars but enjoy looking at all models and see what the talented builders do outside of my usual subjects but am real frustrated with the magazine and now the website.
  10. Great plane and a great looking model. I'd like your photos taken with a plain background as it would highlight your model better.
  11. So glad to see I'm not the only one irked by what you've pointed out. Been complaining about this for years. Just ask my poor wife who is irked with me yelling about it. Another thing is what I call "flash, flash, flash" when promoting upcoming shows or most anything for that matter. It's a constant barrage of scenes that are done so fast that you can't focus on what you're seeing. I don't know if they think that's exciting but it just annoys the heck out of me. Why can't they just show one scene? I guess it goes back to that attention span thing.

    Excellent diorama and a nice tribute to some amazing men!
  13. I agree! The extended daylight hours will come soon enough with time so just have a little patience and leave the clocks alone.
  14. Good looking car! And that stance.....
  15. Hoping I'm not hijacking the original subject.... I enjoy model building in general so thought I'd try and ride out the rest of my subscription which ends next year. The 1964 Cutlass is mildly interesting only for the "racing" version. Not into convertibles at all. Thanks for the look inside the box. This is the best type of thing for me as I want to know everything there is about a kit before I buy.
  16. Thanks for the suggestions/help. I got an automatic reply from Fine Scale saying they'll get back to me as soon as possible so thought I'd wait just a bit longer. Tried to access content at the site again today but get nowhere. I'm still logged in and the label # you spoke of is entered but they also want an access code that can be found on my digital edition ??? Try logging in to that but it goes nowhere. I like to think of myself as fairly intelligent but this site is very frustrating. Not impressed with the whole Fine Scale magazine and site especially since it was dumped on me after the Scale Auto fiasco.
  17. Never been able to access the review page on the site. I am a subscriber and logged in and it still wants some kind of an access code to continue. Don't need to spend a lot of time jumping thru hoops and get nowhere. Tried customer service but get no response.
  18. I built this a few months ago. I like yours better. Nice work. The recent reissue came with the figures.
  19. Well, that's good but I see the same kits on the shelves for the past year. Really need to mix it up a bit. A sale on all paints would be good.
  20. Very nice! The paint colors are perfect and well done.

    #3 Earnhardt

    Very clean and sharp builds. Nice!
  22. Amazing! Looks like an old Tonka truck; as if it were real metal.
  23. Great movie and a bunch of great looking models you've got there. Thanks for sharing them.
  24. You did a real nice job on this model. I always thought the pictures on the box looked like it was a bad kit so have stayed away from it but you managed to finish it better than the box shows. Good job!
