Happy anniversary to you and your better half!

Bad clams can do it too.

Ain't it great? You could bury Jimmy Hoff in the box. Too bad that R2 discontinued it. The 1/144 version has nothing on this in terms of sheer size and detail.

This is also a good site: Never mind. allaboutlicenceplates.com is the same site with a different URL. A NYS 1913-28 plate was 6" x 16".

It depends on what one's perception of "ordinary" is.

Smoking Monkey Cigarettes have been linked to such experiences.

I never heard of that either until I went to Minneapolis. Some gomer told me that he'd never "step foot" in Brooklyn because we're all criminals.

Try 10-15 PSI in light, misting coats, just like the chrome. Once it appears to be a shiny brass color, stop.

i read the same thing about the body panels. That would counter any criticisms of a particular kit's appearance. They're all correct.

You'd first have to explain how you applied it in order to determine what you did wrong and get advice.

I didn't build it, Angel. I just got photos off the net. Check out Atlantis Model and Toy Company's website. The old Aurora Invaders UFO is available. Wave makes a 1/48 Adamski-type Flying Saucer It comes with clear domes so you can install LEDs. I have the 1/72 Haunebu German Flying Saucer. It's the same kit, parts and sizewise, as the Adamski kit, except for the clear domes. Another couple of cool flying saucer kits are the 1/35 Moebius 913 LIS Jupiter 2, which is 18" in diameter, and the 1/72 Polar Lights812 Forbidden Planet C-57D Space Cruiser This kit is 28" in diameter. The upper and lower domes are molded in clear styrene. I have two Jupiter 2s with lighting kits and a C-57D which will receive the lighting treatment also. I bought a couple hundred feet of fiber optic filament in various diameters to use in illuminating the flashing panel lights in the J2 and C-57D.

ITC Ford Thunderbird

I never stepped foot in Minnesota until February 1987. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Here's a third possible solution: If you want a shiny brass finish, strip the chrome and use Alclad II ALC-109 High Shine Polished Brass. It's shiny. It's polished. It's brass. What more could you ask for?

The engines are the old Renwal kits. The "Motorized Thunderbird" was part of the Cam-A-Matic series manufactured by ITC (Ideal Toy Company). Read about it HERE.

Well, it is safer than tap dancing on moving helicopter rotor blades or roof surfing on a subway car.

Good analogy. It does require patience, something most kids today lack. They have shorter attention spans than goldfish..

It was a modeling site.

Really nice. A true land yacht.

I've seen people in bars getting darts stuck in different body parts, thrown by someone with really bad aim, drunk or both. Get rid of the bum with the bad aim, not the dartboard.

David Snow was responsible for getting them banned. The F-16 Fighting Falcon was nicknamed the "lawn dart" due to its tendency to plunge back to Earth when its single engine flamed out.

It's an easy game to play. Pick up a stick without moving the surrounding sticks. If you do, you lose a turn. The sticks can be assigned point values according to color. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. Or, whoever has the most sticks. How to play Pick Up Sticks They're still available from $1.99 to $4.99, depending on where you buy them. They're usually made from wood or bamboo, which makes them perfect shishkebab skewers in a pinch.
