1963 Corvette Grand Sport (update 8/16/16)
SfanGoch replied to RancheroSteve's topic in WIP: Model Cars
You're gonna tell yourself to get a couple more GS kits so you can use the entire sheet, Steve. -
MPC/Round 2 - Pony Express is back from the grave!
SfanGoch replied to Faust's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
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.

Automotive (and other) toys from our childhood

Yup, can't have Junior exhibiting antisocial behavior by assaulting a punching bag. Every kid I knew had Bozo. There is something very satisfying in beating the cr ap out of a clown. I've got the Rock'em-Sock'em robots myself. They are fun. -
Was he a "friend of a friend"? You're neck o' the woods is a popular destination for WITSEC alumni.

Bill, I think more than half of the teachers in my high school had those flasks. That would explain my machine shop teacher's nickname, "Three Finger Louie" Russo.

Thanks, Mike. 500.......wow! There aren't 500 kids in his school. There were about 45 students in my freshman English class in high school (almost 6,000 students in total). Overcrowding was the norm in the 1970's It was sort of like "Blackboard Jungle" meets "Welcome Back, Kotter". Nike Zeus Zacharias, a combination of Dr. Smith and John Barrymore, was our teacher. He maintained his sanity with one of these

There are eight boys and seventeen girls in my son's graduating class. Not a bad ratio.

Yep, biological. He's a rough-and-tumble-stand-up-to-be-knocked-down-kicking-in-the-head-knife-in-a-dark-room chip off the ol' blockhead like Dad; but, he has better manners and is extremely polite. Mom is Spanish on her father's side, Irish and West Indian on her mother's. That makes him 111% Polish. We're the only ones in the house who eat pierogi, kielbasa and other Polish health foods. Used her Nikon to get prom pics since I can't d/l from my Canon. She won't let me use hers to photograph my modeling. She says she doesn't want that "junk" cluttering up her camera. She doesn't get it. No appreciation for the finer things in life except for shoes, bags and this "clothes" stuff. Mom sucks, man.

Yeah; but, he's got Dad's discerning taste in the opposite sex. She's a real sweetheart.

The IRS never initiates calls and it never discusses sensitive financial business over the phone. The scammers use bulk dialers which make calls out to a large set of numbers; and, any, that are successful are forwarded to whatever destination they choose. That means, if you answer one of these calls, it could be rerouted to someplace like Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria or any other distant, high cost international location. Then, you'll be charged some absurd amount of money against your telephone bill.

Rossville, Georgia.

I blame it on substandard internet connection speeds from local providers.

He's agreeing with you, Skip.

You're fortunate that it didn't happen while you were driving. A friend at work had a brand new 1989 Mercury Sable. One morning, he showed up late at the job fuming. Before asking him why he was steamed, I asked him if he heard the recall report about Sables on the news that morning. Seems that there was a problem with the power seat wiring harness getting abraded and causing the wiring harness to catch fire. He said that he didn't see it but found out the hard way. He was sitting at a light on the way to work when the seat cushion started getting really hot. He pulled over, turned off the ignition and got out. The seat started smoking and burst into flames. By the time FDNY arrived, the car was a total loss

Looking real good. Mike. You performed some nifty surgery in grafting the body sections.

That's why Revell is the best at what it does.
