The reason being that you'll never find an $80 Rye Field Model Tiger I w/interior sitting on a shelf at Michaels or other stores offering them discount coupons. You'd be lucky if you found any expensive armor kit (which most are) with more than a ten buck discount online. I paid $125 for a Voyager M1A2 Abrams TUSK II detail set for my $70 Dragon M1A2.

What kits did you get? Google the kit name and check out different stores which sell them. There should be photos of completed models which should give you an idea as to what paints are required. The second kit might have PDF instructions available which indicate the paints and what gets painted.Also, check Google Images. You should come up with more photos than you imagined. If you don't want to do it, post the manufacturers and kits here and I'll do it. Just hurry up. I have many important things to avoid which don't require my immediate inattention.

I have a story about something that happened to me and an Army buddy while I was stationed in Germany. We both experienced the same thing six months apart and I never told him about it until he mentioned it to me.It scared the living krap out of us. In January 1983, I was stationed in Illesheim, in the Mittelfranken region of Bavaria. I just got off duty and was heading to the main gate to get a cab to go to my apartment in Obernzenn. My car was in the shop and I definitely didn't feel like walking 8 clicks in the freezing cold. I waited around by the taxi stand for twenty minutes without luck. I called the cab service; but, they were busy and no car was available. So, I did end up walking. As I'm walking along, I hear somebody whistling behind me. So, I turn around and see some 'rad in his early twenties walking about twenty feet behind me. I asked him in German, "Was ist los? Was gibts?" He didn't respond. I fugured that he was drunk and heading to the next village, Urfersheim, which was down the road. So, I continued walking. Then, I hear him whistling again. I'm getting pissed at this point; so, I turned around and started walking toward him. As I was walking toward him, he started backing up, keeping that twenty foot distance between us, which I found odd. Once again, I continued down the road and he did the same dammed thing. This time, I decided to rush him. I chased him back toward Illesheim. He ran into farm field on the side of the road and I tried following him but I lost him. Strange, considering that it was an open field and there was a full moon. Being totally pissed off at this point, I continued my walk home. Next thing I know, I hear the whistling again. This time, when I turned around, Komrad wasn't walking. He was hauling *ss toward me on a bike. Then, as he is getting closer, I see his face. It changed. It was all torn up on the left side and there was what looked like blood all over his jacket. He let out the creepiest scream and I nearly krapped in my pants. I ran as fast as I could; and, when I reached Urfersheim, I started banging on the door of the first house I encountered. I told the people what happened and they called the Polizei. When the cops arrived, I gave them the details. The older cop asked me if I was positive in describing the guy. He asked me because he remembers a guy fitting the exact description getting killed by a car in the same area of the road about five years before. The cops were courteous enough to give me a ride home. I went to my favorite gasthaus and got ripped. Fast forward to July. My friend, Jay McKendree, said he was going to pop over. It was a Friday evening and he couldn't get a cab. So, he decided to walk. When he got to my place, he was pale and scared s**tless. He said I wouldn't believe what happened to him. As he started to tell me, I stopped him and asked did the guy have longish blonde hair. "Yeah". Did he look like he was in his early twenties? "Yeah?" Was he wearing a gray windbreaker with red and blue stripes on the sleeves? Yeah?" Was he whistling as you were walking? Yeah! But, how did you know?" I told him what the cop said and, from that night, Jay would never again walk on that road after sundown. There were other weird, unexplained phenomena which occurred around the old Judische Friedhof, the Red and Blue Castles in Obernzenn and the areas surrounding the abandoned German bunkers in the Frankenhohe forest near Oberdachstetten and were witnessed by numerous soldiers and civilians over the years.

Believe this: China's economic system is a socialist market economy, a model which is based on a predominant state-owned sector within an open market economy. That means the state maintains control of everything. The government can seize private businesses as it deems necessary; and, it does. Communism is identical to how divorce lawyers and the Mafia operate - "What's mine is mine, what's yours is mine." Don't ever doubt that.

Different terms for the same thing. Years ago, I built the Mamoli 1/93 U.S.S. Constitution. I soaked the hull planking in denatured alcohol which softened them faster than soaking in water. I tack-nailed the wet planks onto the bulkheads, allowing them to dry in place. Once dry, the planks retained the curves and fit the contours of the hull perfectly. I removed the nails, trimmed where necessary and used carpenter's glue to reattach them. You need to attach the planking on both sides of the hull to prevent warpage when using this method.

That might be enough to have the winning bid for a Johan kit on eBay.

I read an article about that. KB Toys planning comeback after demise of Toys ‘R’ Us I doubt I'll find those 8 buck Tamiya kits this time around.

This really is a quick Pole Constance Darnowski Stoll, from the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, was an AAU champion and St. John's University's first-ever track and field Olympian (Helsinki, 1952 and Melbourne, 1956) competing in the 80 metres hurdles.

You're literally a day late and a dollar short. I posted the link yesterday.

$184 USD. Not worth that kind of dough. One could buy the electronic components for maybe 10 bucks and install the lighting into 74617488, which is what I'm going to do whenever I get around to it. Tower Hobbies is taking pre-orders for a mere $242.95.

Slap on some leadwork and a $99 Earl Scheib paint job and it'll look like.....c rap.

No problem, David. A lot of shows had arrangements with the auto companies. The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres, both produced by Filmways Studios, used Chrysler products. Perry Mason almost exclusively used Fords and Lincolns.

Help yerself, lookit the pitchers an' let us know if ya find'em. Andy Griffith Show - Cars 1960 - 1968

Heh, I did that yesterday. I asked her to give me the teams, point spreads and bracket winners for next year's NCAA Tournament. Hey, it couldn't hurt to ask. I'll start drinking again if I actually get a response.

Funny thing about HO scale is that trains are 1/87 but slot cars are 1/64.

Nothing. I suggested that they check my page and never received a reply. The support people must be busy looking for new jobs.

Lindberg produced Crown Vic police cars. They can be had for cheap.

The K70 was 11 years old; both Valiants were 15 when I bought them in '85 and '86. Both Slant-6's seized. When I towed the '72 to the junkyard, I asked the guy "how much?" He said, "50 bucks." I said that was better than nothing. He came back with, "No, that's what I'm gonna charge you for taking that piece of s**t."

$2600......that's 1750 bucks more than I paid for three cars: $325 - 1971 Plymouth Valiant $375 - 1972 Valiant $150 - 1970 VW K70

You can thank Shunsaku Tamiya for that.

How could it be a computer issue? I also logged into FB on my son's laptop and had the same result. I also have an alternate account, which was only known to Lynne and one other person, also deceased, and she comes up under that one too. Explain that. The other deceased friend was the one who informed me of her death. The other members of the group were unaware of her passing. My mentioning this fact when I posted about this situation was the first time they knew of it. Hoax? How could only my account get spoofed and why pick that particular person? There are a number of old friends which were on FB and they had their tickets punched. They don't stop by. For whatever reason, Lynne's the only one who does. Besides, there isn't anyone in that group who possesses anywhere near the technical smarts to pull off something as elaborate as hacking an account and playing with the code.

I PMed her just to see what would happen. Still waiting for a reply. Maybe she could give me the winning numbers for the next big Mega-Millions drawing. This reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode "Night Call": I already did that. The last activity on her page was on May 26, 2014, two months before she died from Stage 4 cancer. Like I pointed out before, this can't be a gag because everybody else who was "friended" by her would see her in the contacts list on the right side of the page. Nobody who was her friend on the "Greenpoint Natives" page sees her. I refreshed the page but Lynne keeps hanging around.

If someone was playing a joke, everybody who was on her friends list would see the same thing.

I took this screenshot two minutes ago Old Lynne is still hanging out.

What's with the eyeroll? If she doesn't pop up on her other friends' contact lists, but only on mine, that is beyond odd. If her account was accessed and logged in, she'd appear on other people's lists too; but, she doesn't.
