TonyK

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.

Very nice! The paint colors are perfect and well done.

Very clean and sharp builds. Nice!

Amazing! Looks like an old Tonka truck; as if it were real metal.

Great movie and a bunch of great looking models you've got there. Thanks for sharing them.

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!

Opened up a brand new spray can of Model Master paint. It's probably a few years old but I've tapped other cans that old without a problem. Nothing came out. Tried another nozzle and nothing came out until finally a bit of spittle not resembling paint came out. Entire can wasted. I have a buddy that has several years old cans of various brands and they've worked fine. Hopefully this is a one-off deal for me.

Started with the Rat Trap Vega kit and used a Big Donkey Resin Corvair body. Had to modify the chassis, roll cage and nerf bars a bit to make it fit well. Testors paint.

Guess it's my own fault for not paying close enough attention. Bought the 1/16th scale Petty Charger thinking it had the clear body but it's the light blue version. Built this as a kid and debated about getting it and reliving the past but now I'm really disappointed. The box art threw me as it looks exactly as before.

You did a nice job on this. Like the piece of material on the tail. I built this and a couple of those ridiculous monsters in a little car. Think it's kind of a nostalgia thing for us.

Well, after 20 years you built a fine looking model. Love these cars. I'd also like to know some details of your model.

Wow, that's a lot of work you did and it shows. This boat looks excellent! The trailer is excellent too. Enjoyed looking at the pics. Nice job!

I try not to think about that but we did just this exact thing a lot over the weekend. I like to rip a couple pages from a magazine and toss it in a model box when there are pictures or tips about it. Very handy and don't have to go looking for it later.

I know part of the problem is me. Spent my whole life reading magazines and books and the new way of doing things just doesn't appeal to me. My laptop is great for many things but then I shut it off and move on. My phone is used some for texting and taking a picture of something that I might want to share with others. The younger people like my son and grandson use their phone for EVERYTHING and I hear about my old fashioned ways.

I like it! Perfect weathering job. Really does look like a barn find. Nice job!

UPS wasn't off on Presidents Day and the post office delivers "packages" on Sunday. Have talked with my mail carrier about that and he had some interesting info. Again, I understand the weather is screwing things up but what I don't understand is day after day the tracking info doesn't change and only states "in transit". We've all watched the goofy journey of our packages as they're being scanned. There seems to be no scanning with the 2 packages we have coming and I wonder why. Lost?

Was supposed to get a package from UPS yesterday (Monday) but I'm smart enough to know weather may alter delivery time. Check the tracking and it said to check back tomorrow. Today is tomorrow and it says the same thing. Shows "in transit". What I don't understand is "in transit". A truck on the side of the road? Sitting in a warehouse? I'm in no hurry to get the package but I just don't understand situations like this. It's as if everything goes into limbo and nobody knows anything. Wife has the same situation with a package that was supposed to be delivered last Sunday from UPS. I know UPS doesn't deliver on Sunday and they sometime hand it off to USPS to deliver but her tracking has the same message as mine.

7 Ups....Wasn't that a Nova or Ventura he was driving for what seemed like 20 minutes and then end up half-under a truck?

Oh yeah, and the car quote is also part of French Connection. One of the greatest "car chases" ever!

I get it. Digital is the thing now and can't be stopped but I hate it. For years now I've pointed out my desire for printed magazines. Every night when I go to bed I read for awhile and a laptop is not gonna work. The convenience for me to bring a magazine to read when my car is being serviced, waiting for someone while they're in the doctors office, store, airport (not anymore) etc. Has always worked for me but guess I'll be left behind and I'm willing to pay for the subscription if it needs to be an increased cost to a point.

"Frog one" is the French Connection. The other few sound vaguely familiar and I know I'm gonna do a face palm when someone gets them.

Often wonder who picks out the inventory to sell. The same models from different companies but some you never see. I would probably buy a few that I haven't seen but end up getting them from an online source instead.

Those 2 guys had a good last meal, eh? Godfather.

Saw Dunkirk a couple years ago (?) and know what you're saying but knew the story going in so expected all of it. Not pleasant but an interesting part of history.

We have power back today after 2 days without it. Also pleased that we're still here and our 2 dogs have survived. Horrible ice/freezing rain storm and so much damage to every tree and bush in our yard. Every tree along the streets in our neighborhood have gone down. So scary taking dogs out to do their duty when it's all ice. We have big fir trees in our backyard and behind us and the number of branches that have come down is bad. Now it's above freezing so we're watching/hearing all the ice come crashing down which also causes damage. I'm sure others on this board have suffered similar circumstances and I'm hoping they will come out alright. But I thought this should be in this section as I am pleased overall.
