HO standard gauge track modeled in 1/35 military modeler scale (On30 motive power & rolling stock). mostly a scratchbuilders scale will the added bonus of all the military goodies out there.

tough part of town in the summer months. folks don't understand leaving the door open in traffic causes a general bottleneck on a two lane road with parking on both sides. surfboards, coolers, & beach chairs need to be unloaded from the curb side. and if there is something blocking a lane of travel, it is not okay to come into the travel lane going in the other direction.

no comparison intended. the contradiction which strikes me is the plethora of complaints with the former, and the willingness to remediate the incongruities in the latter. there was no intent to focus on any individual on either side of the in-equation (sic). just an attempt to give examples of my conundrum.

but if their (Pocher) kits are so inaccurate, why are they held in such high esteem (especially at the cost based on dollar value at the time of their manufacture - basically a mortgage payment) when we're ready to storm the gates at the mere infraction of a optional part included in a kit which (in real/ now time) costs what a decent sandwich, beer, & tip does? i think it's deeper than we are either aware, or willing to admit. our umbrage is disproportionate.

disclaimer: i didn't want to add more fuel to a volatile existing thread, nor taint a great build thread in progress. but i have a gnawing question, to wit: why do we complain at inaccuracies in a $22.00 kit, yet embrace the vastness and laud the efforts of those capable of correcting major deficiencies in an extinct $444.00 kit? will the response be "well, that's why the company went out of business"? just seems a little inconsistent.

uh .... it's okay; thanks anyway.

just want to make sure i have one entry in every category at next year's Humblebrag Finals. and an unopened kit to donate to the IMCBM in Salt Lake after my ultimate demise.

anyone know when the Revell Dickswinger's '49 Ford is being released? i need to reserve at least a case, maybe 2.

chuck - why are you continuously throwing gas on the fire? let it go, and maybe everyone else will, too. stop poking the hamster in the cage; he's dead.

peanuts?

the Burlington Northern 50' steel boxcar has 54 rivets per side on the roof braces. the one shown in the photo has 48. will not be buying.

as long as you remain optimistic!

well - i've found my morning entertainment.

is this the new '29 coupe?

so next time you complain about nosebleeds, we should think "serves him right for sticking his finger in it". got it.

that dog looks like he's gettin' a wedgie!

gotta be just like the name says. uh.. you know "thunder". and shirts, like t-shirts and turtlenecks an'... huh. just what does a Thundershirt do, anyway?

my grandmother would put a chair in her clothes closet, and sit saying the rosary during thunder storms. guess it worked 'cause she never did get hit by lightning.

it looks great. maybe cut down the raised rim at the back for easier loading?

hairnet? or tulle from the fabric shop
