  1. Other than dealing directly with Harold Bradford, is there an online shop which carries HRM products? All of the usual suspects are perpetually "Out Of Stock".
  2. Sue Lyon, star of Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Lolita’ in 1962, dies at 73
  3. The Brewster Aeronautical Corporation was a division of the Brewster Carriage Co., an early automobile manufacturer which, in addition to manufacturing Brewster cars, assembled Rolls Royces from 1931 to 1934. Auto and aircraft production took place in the Brewster Building, opened in 1911 and located at 27th St. & Queens Plaza North (two blocks south of the 59th Street Bridge). The USN seized the company in April 1942 because of mismanagement and Brewster Aeronautical Corp. was dissolved by its shareholders in April 1946. The Brewster Building is now occupied by Jet Blue and other commercial tenants. The Brewster Building in 1912. The clock tower was removed in 1950.
  4. How did people manage to drive a car before twenty separate "brains" controlled one's vehicle?
  5. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
  6. Howard's been saying that he'll be retiring at the end of his current contract for 35 years. He'll say the same thing in 2024, one year before his then current five year contract ends. Time to watch "Butt Bongo Fiesta" in 3D.
  7. Tamiya 24065 is a far better and more detailed version. Check out the assembly instructions HERE.
  8. If you're planning to build this with a roof, you can try scrounging the roof section from the AMT 1936 Ford Dick Tracy/5 Window Coupe kits. The rooflines for the 1935 and 1936 Ford and Dodge 5 Window coupes are pretty darned near to identical as you can get. Just tweak the shape of the quarter windows and you're good to go. 1935 Dodge 1935 Ford 1936 Ford
  9. Don Imus, Legendary 'Imus in the Morning' Host, Dies at 79
  10. That would be tough, if not impossible. Miss Deal is a fiberglass 1953 Commander/Starliner. There aren't any body lines shared with the Lark.
  11. Thanks. Now I have to get both to see how that'll work.
  12. Cool! If you plan on building a more detailed model, you could use the interior (modifying the interior panels into 4Dr configuration) and chassis from a Moebius 1956 Chrysler 300B.
  13. ARII/MicroAce originally produced the '58 Biarritz convertible/Seville hardtop kits. They were also sold under the Imex, Lee and Heller (Biarritz convertible) brands. The only 1958 Series 62 presently available in 1/24 is the JADA 31102 Hollywood Rides "Nightmare On Elm Street" 1958 Cadillac Series 62
  14. You should listen to WLIR.FM to get deprogrammed. Then, take a ride past the old Calderone Theater, in Hempstead. The Spirit of Jerry Garcia will exorcise the Billy Joel demons.
  15. Peruse the various auto kits and instructions at Hobby Search.
  16. It's already available from sidewalk vendors in Times Square for a finnif.
  17. Fortunately, I'm not impaired with a character flaw like morals. Money talks.
  18. Keeps them pesky shoulder launched SAMs off yer rear end.
  19. I haven't watched SNL in over twenty years until last night. Seeing Eddie back on makes one remember what a comic genius he is.
  20. Raccoons can develop gout from eating cat food. That'll learn'em.
  21. Springstain fans think he's the second coming of Woody Guthrie. Unfortunately, so does he.
  22. Surprised that nobody suggested awarding specious royal titles upon their kids. That's pretty much scrapping the underside of the cheap barrel as one could possibly get away with.
  23. Just saw a story on the news about gifting (Agh! I hate that word!) your kids with experiences instead of presents. Some examples are packaging up some passes for the local movie theater with a jar of popcorn , haircuts, ice cream parties or gift certificates for the bowling alley or local skating rink. "Joyous Festivus to you, son! Your mother and I are gifting you experiences so you can celebrate this wondrous, secular and non-specific holiday period without fear of shaming by your peers within your particular demographic age group." "Huh?!?" "We have enrolled you in courses on how to forage for herbs, sing like a songbird and making cheese. Isn't that wonderful?" "I wanted an Xbox." "We'll also teach you how to start a garden..." "Why? We live in an apartment." "...and how to make top hats." "I wanted an Xbox." "Saving the best for last, we've created a coupon book full of chores you’ll tackle — with a smiling face — when asked. Have you anything to say?" "Yeah, you suck. I still want an Xbox."
