Say.......Richard Nixon and Montgomery Clift were Quakers. So is the guy on the oatmeal box. I smell a conspiracy. Never mind. That was me. I had jerk chicken for dinner.

Cool bike, Tom. There's a metallic blue Mk I 10 speed chained to the gate of an apartment building in the neighborhood. I'd like to find out if the owner would be interested in selling it. It looks just like the one you had

WWII-era British military slang first put to print in the "Dictionary of Forces' Slang" in 1948.

I love rotary wing things and you hit a homer with this one.

Easy-Off oven cleaner, brake fluid, Simple Green.......or, read "Paint Strippers - What to use".

I was always a Sting-Ray kid. I liked my 1968 Schwinn Apple Krate best Drum brake in the front and spring suspension front fork, 5 Speed 8-Ball stick shift, banana seat with spring suspension, 16" front tire and a 20" rear slick. This was to bikes what Harleys are to motorcycles. My kid and I both have Grey Ghosts today It's definitely a head turner. Everyone from beer-gutted oldtimers to pogo stick shaped hipsters wants to know where they can get one.

This is a one-size-fits-all, multi-purpose definition suitable for most of these words/phrases: An irritating verbal crutch, indicating closure or synopsis, for morons who are incapable of finishing a sentence without incorporating at least one tired cliche.

WRONG!!!!! Wassamattaforyou?!? Strip, don't sand, the paint off. That way, you won't beat your head against the wall when you realize that you sanded off all of the details.

That's a real nice looking post, Bill.

"At the end of the day" has been used for longer than that, Richard. Urban Dictionary has the best definition: An irritating verbal crutch, indicating closure or synopsis, for morons who are incapable of finishing a sentence without incorporating at least one tired cliche.

Don't sell yourself short, Ray. It looks great.

So far, so good. That's the Rye Field Model RFM 5001, right? It's a great kit, minor issues notwithstanding. I see that you've discovered that the mounting bolts on the hull don't align with the mudguards. What paint did you use for RAL 8000? Note: Neither of the Tiger battalions (501 and 504) were part of DAK.

God didn't get that message. He was busy networking.

Yes, getting false, undeserved fawning praise for unsatisfactory, less than mediocre work (not talking models) from your peers in the real world as an adult because they don't wish to damage your fragile psyche and hurt your feelings. There will be the day that someone will be honest and tell you something that you don't want to hear. How are you going to handle that? Throw a tantrum? Punch the guy in the face? Stomp away steaming mad because the guy doesn't understand or appreciate your genius? You can't improve on what you are doing if the only comments are obvious, bald-faced lies made to massage your ego. If you can't handle honest criticism for something as banal as a model, you are in a world of butthurt when it involves something really important.* I had a new one torn by none other than Steve Zaloga when I was 14. Steve didn't mince words. I wanted to tell him that he was a jerk; but, after analyzing what he had to say, I realized he was right on all accounts. He was brutally honest about my modeling techniques, painting and accuracy to detail and I appreciated everything he had to say. If he would have said something like "Nice work, kid" instead of "This is absolute cra p!", I'd still be building junk. I probably still do; but, at a higher level of competency and accuracy. *These comments were written with no one particular in mind. They were written using "you" in a general context. The fact that I needed to include a disclaimer to my comments is disturbing in itself for a myriad of reasons.

Engine Blue (Ditzler) DQE 13730

But Bob, Junkman said, Just to set the paternity of the Lindberg kit straight for Junkman, it isn't a reissue of any previous AMT/SMP kit. It was a completely original tooling when first released in 1995 It has nothing in common with the original SMP kit (Hardtop, not Bubbletop) other than subject matter. Lindberg fixed the cowl shape early in the first production run and it is an excellent kit

You're gonna tell yourself to get a couple more GS kits so you can use the entire sheet, Steve.

Pssssst...........Scott..................that "guy" reviewing the kit was the same guy who started this thread.

Fear not, citizens! All is definitely not lost! You can use archive.org's Wayback Machine to access the old Round2 site pages from Oct. 26, 2005 to April 16, 2016. The last date for the old site is May 31, 2014. You can still access and download PDF instructions by merely clicking the instructions link for each model of interest.

You didn't just appear on the scene as an adult, right? I'm 56 and I remember what I liked to do when I was a small kid. I've been doing those same things with my now 13 year old since before he was old enough to pour juice into my PC tower and he still has fun with the most banal, excruciatingly hackneyed activities. I'll assume that you're much younger; so, you shouldn't have a problem recalling what you liked to do. Also, don't ask other people for advice on how to interact with children. You'll never get a one-size-fits-all answer because every situation is different. It's an ongoing WIP because you both are learning something new about each other every day. BTW, repetition is the basis of learning. We all learn through repetition. You might find it boring and stupid; but, consider this, your nephew is expanding his knowledge and awareness of his world by doing that boring, stupid stuff over and over ad nauseam. It's the little ones who come first.

If there was anything out of the ordinary, your doctor would make sure that, after himself, you'd be the first to know. No news is good news. You're gonna be fine.

Thanks, Carl. He's a good kid. Most if the time.

You never heard of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? If you're driving east on Union Ave., in Moonachie, New Jersey, follow it until you hit Liberty St. Make a right and take Liberty to Washington Ave. You're going to see Craig D's Deli & Pizza on the corner and you make a left there. Then, keep going straight for 3,257 miles. You can't miss it.

Are you referring to the 1/32 UH-1D gunship? Don't leave it unpainted. Use Model Master Enamel 2050/Model Master Acryl 4842 Olive Drab, ANA 613 (FS 34088), or Vallejo Model Color 70887 Brown Violet. They are a good match for 1960's 'Nam-era FS 34087.
