Wisdom is the ability to think and act using experience, knowledge, understanding, common sense and insight. Without any of the latter five, one cannot possess the former. There's no such thing as a wise man who knows or understands nothing.. Common Core is a curriculum straight out of Kafka. Einstein did all right with "old" arithmetic. So did Robert Goddard, Charles Ranlett Flint, Arno Allan Penzias and Richard Schwartz.

It isn't. If you bothered to check the photo link, you'd see that isn't the case:

There is no such thing as individual responsibility anymore. "I" is only used when taking credit, or looking for recognition, for perceived accomplishments, sort of like the guy in the Prevnar 13 commercial who does one push up, walks away with a smug, self-satisfied smirk on his face and looks around to see if anybody noticed. Whatever failure or shortcoming is inevitably blamed on the enigmatic "they" or "them".

Odd. Contact Alclad and ask them if there's a solution. Gold Titanium is supposed to have a noticeable, but not solid, pale gold color. Check out the photo.

No swearing? What happens if he's called to take the stand as a hostile witness?

I find using det cord wrapped around a loaf of bread and an M60 fuse igniter a real time saver. Not only is the bread sliced; but, each slice is toasted to golden brown perfection.

No, you're right. That's about how much is spent. The motto of the NYC Public School system is, "Third Grade, the best four years of my life."

I was a concierge at Trump Tower (1985-92) during the time Spielberg owned an apartment there. One day. I brought up "Duel". I asked him the same question about the tanker. His response: "You watch too many movies." So, I replied, "If I didn't, you wouldn't be living here." "Joe, you might be right; but, if you didn't, you would have saved enough money to be able to instead." BTW, he was a nice guy but a lousy tipper. He used to give us fruit baskets for Christmas.

Looks fantastic, Bil! Roman Red is the perfect choice.

My friend Richy bought a new '89 GSE for around $6200. A week after driving it off the lot, the muffler fell off. About a month later, the ball joint on the right side broke while driving on the Northern State Parkway in Long Island. The best happened around a year later. He was in the drive-thru at the Mickey D's in our neighborhood. The dash started smoking and caught fire. Never even had the chance to pick up his order.

A pile of junk by any other name is still a pile of junk. Although, Vauxhall Terrible Car is a catchy name.

That there is an exact scale model. Those are the hallmark features of the actual car.

ACK! This period was the nadir of the American automotive industry. Thanks again for another entertaining and informative review. The kit has as many parts as the real car. better motor, too. I'd like the box so I can store spare parts.

Russian-Shmussian. Still a nice kit pick up.

There are approximately 7.5 billion people currently residing on this planet. Divide that by a million and........ah, go ahead and do the math.

Dont'cha know everybody's a winner? "Yay! You're the second winner! Here's your participation award!" Second winner? Third winner?BULLFMEEP! There's only one winner in a race. Second is first in a long line of losers. Don't like the way it sounds, Junior? Get used to it. It's known as reality. Second best is the doormat which the winners wipe their feet on as they move forward. If we tell you that you're one-in-a million, that doesn't mean you're special. There are 7500 others just like you. What?!? You want us to cover your tuition at NYU for the next nine years so you can get an English Lit or Fine Arts degree?!? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! You know something, kid? You aren't the brightest bulb around; but, you sure are funny.

Odd that the Russian Academy kit is marked as 1/24 since the Sunny and Academy/Minicraft versions are both 1/25.

This was released. I actually saw on Worthpoint, pretty much an eBay redirector. This kit was released. This particular kit was sold in 2010: MPC 1-3504 1980 CHEVY PUSHIN PICKUP W PLOW KIT 1:16 Description:

The technology is available to do 3-D scans of sprue trees from unbuilt kits and cut molds for them. Think of all the possibilities for resurrecting long unavailable AMT classics like the '60 Pickup, for instance. Don't know if R2 would invest in the necessary equipment, though. If R2 did, scans could be made of the kits and kept on file for future consideration.

I was checking one of these out on eBay yesterday. Nice.

Nah, Revell isn't doing this because they're thinking about, as Ivana Trump was fond of saying, "de keedies". These are essentially BIY promos ordered by Ford to be used as bait to get parents to check out the upcoming product line. Strictly business. My comment about how I wish to spend, or not, and what I consider worth the expenditure of what's in my wallet is just as valid as your opinion on the current state of the hobby. I might be ageing; but, I ain't boneyard ready yet. I buy kits for my son. He picks, I pay. Pretty simple. He gets what he wants and the hobby lives for another day in the hands of a new generation. I don't need to pay for two tickets in order to get a crummy "free" model. I could just as easily point out the inanity in countless other comments on a variety of topics across the board; but, that serves no good purpose. Everyone is entitled to state his opinion, right? I'd like anyone here to point out where any form of complaint to that effect was posted in this thread. You can't. I was stating my opinion and nothing more. If any momo in the cheap seats has the inclination to read between the lines, parse my comments and attempt to misconstrue the meaning of my post, have at it.

I doubt that this will be done at the NY Auto Show in March. Even if it is, I'll wait for the retail kit. I gotta shell out 32 bucks to look at cars I can't afford in order for my kid to get a "free" kit? I'll save the money and get two kits for the price of a ticket.

Bummer......first Philthy Animal in November, now Lemmy. The boys never disappointed and always put on a great show. The first time i saw Motorhead live was at the Zeppelinfeld in Nurnberg on Sept.4, 1983, part of The Monsters of Rock series. They were the third act on stage after Meat Loaf. Robbo* was swinging the ax for the band during this tour with Phil Taylor on drums. Lemmy tore it up on "Ace of Spades". *This was also the last gig that Phil Lynott played with Thin Lizzy. Ironic that Robbo also was once a member of Thin Lizzy and this was his last tour with Motorhead.

Krylon Gloss Celery is a match for Seafoam Green. Armor modelers use it to replicate modern APC interiors (M113s, Bradleys) painted with FS24533. krylon Pistachio is pretty good, albeit a bit more bluish.

I ain't gonna look that hard. A Jimmy Flintstone '58 Chevy SD, with a little work, well...it works for me.
