  1. Man, I could see that in the old NYPD green, black and white livery Okay, NYPD only used the Biscayne for one year, which was 1966. Wot da hell, a fantasy '67 would look good.
  2. Rich, that doesn't explain why, except for me, nobody else who was her friend sees her on their lists.
  3. I posted the screenshot on the nabe page and nobody else who was her friend has her in their contact list. I need to get in touch with William Friedkin.
  4. Checking on what, mopes like me debating whether Baby Anna's or Carmine's made the best pizza?
  5. Part them out and you'll be able to buy Lichtenstein.
  6. She never married and had no living relatives. Weird, man.
  7. I checked my neighborhood's FB page about 20 minutes ago and saw something that made the hairs on my neck stand on end. I was looking at my "Contact" list and saw my friend Lynne Merrill's name on it. I grabbed a screenshot just in case it was some type of glitch and would eventually clear up. I just refreshed the page and she's still there as of this moment. If you take a look at her name, in the red box, there's a green dot on the right which means she's signed on. The only problem is that Lynne passed away four years ago.
  8. How about a '71 Lincoln Mark III or a '72 Mark IV? If they were good enough for Frank Cannon to stuff his obese carcass in, they're good enough to build.
  9. Dump it down a storm drain. Just don't let the cops see you doing it.
  10. I'll take a shot in the dark and say he means the cat litter absorbs the brake fluid .If you have oil stains or spills on a cement/concrete floor, spread some cat litter over either, scrunch and scrub it into the spot with your feet or deck broom. It'll soak up the oil and remove the stain.
  11. Off-the-wall but cool. If you haven't seen this before, here are Aurora catalogs from the early '50s to 1977: The Aurora Catalog Pages 1950's Thru 1977!
  12. Personally, I'd like to see the Model A reissued. The C-note + prices for one on eBay give me indigestion.
  13. Impressive! That looks like something left over from a Cecil B. DeMille epic.
  14. Yeah, Rudy's in Astoria. Thanks for reminding me .I used to get Dragon armor kits at Rudy's. He does have a good selection of just about every kind of models and the train stuff is cool. Nice guy, he is. Always enjoyed conversing with him.
  15. That would make for a nice kit.
  16. 1/8 scale is nuthin'. How about a 2/5 scale (40% of the 1:1) 3D printed 1927 Miller 91?
  17. Better late than never: Mopar Engine Colors
  18. Don't complain. That's more choices than you'd find on a ballot on Election Day here in New York.
  19. I miss K-B Toys. They stocked a great selection of model kits. Every year, right after Thanksgiving, they leased large spaces for their Toy Liquidator stores. I picked up heaps o'kits for bargain basement prices. I paid 8 bucks each for about a dozen different Tamiya 1/12 motorcycle kits. Great deals on slot car and train sets, too.
  20. Definitely the Model "A".
  21. The Nash/Rambler and Kaiser/Willys Overland trademarks are also owned by FCA. Roy Gullickson owns the "Packard" name as it applies to cars. The Studebaker trademark is owned by DATA ACCESS.
  22. For most of the items you mentioned, I go to Blick Art Materials/Utrecht Art Supplies. Better prices than Michaels; plus, I get a student discount. I tell the cashier that I'm a student at Pratt Institute. They never ask for proof. It must be that I'm such a great schmoozer and engage in so much meaningless small talk at the register that they forget to ask.
  23. The only B&M shop around here Is Jan's Hobby Shop, which I mentioned in another thread. The prices are more than double suggested retail. The main source of revenue comes from commision custom, scratch built large scale ship and aircraft models for high end/celebrity clients by the owner's son. He's a pro at what he does and charges accordingly.
  24. Every Michaels in NYC is the same as yours. Then again, it's an arts & crafts store, not a hobby shop. Customers who buy picture frames for their macaroni-on-velvet artwork don't care about the less than pathetic plastic kit and supplies section. Get in step with the 21st Century and purchase online. You'll save money too.
