  1. I vacuum my cat twice a week to remove loose hair. Plus, he likes it.
  2. Detail Master DM-2520 Multi-Piece Wipers
  3. Gee......it's gonna feel like..........
  4. I guess watching Scandinavian existential angst films nonstop until spring is out of the question.
  5. Well, it's still listed on the site: 1957 Chevrolet 210 4dr Sedan
  6. The .stl files are used in 3D printing; so, you're good to go.
  7. Sledsel posted a photo of one he bought
  8. I hear you, man. It's a two bus, one hour trip from Beach 116th St. in Rockaway Park for me. Even driving there takes almost an hour, depending on the traffic (only 8 miles one way via Marine Parkway Bridge ?).
  9. Goes back to when I studied aero in Brooklyn Technical High School. One of my junior year teachers was a BUFF crew chief in the mid 1950s and sang the praises of the Stratofortress. Same with my freshman year technical drawing teacher, the late C. Kyrie Kallas LTC, USAF (ret.), who was a Master Navigator, flew on B-17s and B-47s. He told our class he always wished he could've navigated on a B-52. He had a lot of respect for this monster. My former teach He also wrote an autobiography, On the Wings of the Wind: The Story of the Last Navigator
  10. I perused the website and they don't even cover exchange of damaged/defective items. Pretty bad business model.
  11. Let me clarify that those are aluminum and brass landing gear doors fabricated for a 1/48 scale vacuform B-52C, not a brass and aluminum Stratofortress. I also have the 1/72 Monogram kit in my mitts now, along with a 1/48 vacuform kit by Sanger. It has a 3.85 ft. wingspan. I'm treating myself to a fancy-schmancy birthday present in February when I'll snag the ultimate 1/48 Stratofortress kit made by HpH Models in the Czech Republic. It's a multimedia fiberglass/resin/PE kit. Link to assembly manual. These 1/48 scale monsters will be housed in 48 x 48 x 16 inch 3mm plexiglass cases which will double as an end table when stacked.
  12. Listen to Pete, Russ. Any vet who was discharged under honorable conditions is eligible. I served in the Army, '79-85, and signed up yesterday. I was vetted through ID.me last year. Visit The Exchange and register. It'll take you a few minutes to see if you're eligible via vetverify.org when you provide your last four, DOB and last name during registration.
  13. Edd Byrnes, famous for portraying Gerald Lloyd "Kookie" Kookson III in the legendary TV show 77 Sunset Strip, passed away today at age 87. Edd Byrnes, Kookie on '77 Sunset Strip,' Dies at 87 See ya, Edd. All the chucks thought you were the ginchiest.
  14. Outstanding information, Pete! Thank you very much for posting it.
  15. Cold & flu virus stopped hanging around me in 1981 as a result of a dispute regarding some unpaid loans due me. Seriously though, I don't get the flu nor do I get flu shots.
  16. The average impression that the general public has about model building of any genre as done by adults is that they're playing with toys. Even mainstream hobbies, like coin and stamp collecting, get the cocked-to-one-side, confused dog look from people. Hell, I get that same reaction, followed with a pretty stupid "Why?", about collecting 45 and 78 RPM records.
  17. Mr. Finishing Surfacer is fantastic! One can never have enough on hand.
  18. If tour cable provider was a widget button on the remote, you might have Youtube listed and can watch it on TV.
  19. Same one, TJ. Really cool bio of Ed Roth. John Goodman is Roth's voice in the film. Big Daddy was unavailable for the documentary due to prior commitments.
  20. Thanks for posting this nice reference, Tom.
  21. You could get K&S .016" aluminum or brass sheet. They can be easily formed into shape (the brass after annealing). I use both for fabricating numerous parts like door skins and aircraft parts. These are landing gear doors for a 1/48 scale B-52C fabricated from aluminum and brass
