Sorry to hear this. Always a Heart-Stopping moment when you get this news. I hope your job search goes well. Build some models. (or at least play with them a bit..)

I see no evidence to support your comment. We have no idea exactly what he is doing to solve his problem. Possibly he is following up on some of the suggestions that have already been made.

The Tweedy Pie Intake sounds like a great option for this kit.

I am waiting to see the first "What's in the Box" videos. Should be one up on the Tubes, here in the next few weeks.

I'd like to hear more details, about exactly which TD kits they have. The Horn Toad does nothing for me, but some of the VW powered Buggy Kits would great!

This^^^^^^ Back to the car. I think I remember Tom Gaffney or Larry Greenberg in a kit review many years ago, telling us that the Air Cleaner in this kit was for a Euro Spec Camaro. I like Espo's story better, especially since he was there at the time driving the car. I just know that this kit is head and shoulders above the '81 Camaro that HPI Guy built a couple months ago. Both the Detail and Sophistication rival a glue kit in many ways, while the '81 is just a lump.

Sharp Build! Great Work on the dio.

It will be nice to get this kit. I prefer some parts of it to the AMT version.

Good Question, Ron. Maybe we will see somebody do something about this.

MALIBU SURFER HAT! According to an old copy of the instructions, any way!

MPC Kit is the Airfix, Imported to the US. Eduard is the New Gold Standard. I would not touch the Bandai. Strictly for Collectors or Nostalgia Builders who fancy a good Wrestle, and have forgotten how the kit really is.

Thanks for the links to Hurd Hobbies.

Thanks for sharing that photo! I have never seen those parts before, only looked at the instruction sheet. What a complicated bit of kit!

My Grandson will be back over next week, when his parents go back to work. I'll be showing him these! Thank You!

I look forward to hearing the results, Joe/

Yes, I do know this. But, all those parts in one box with fresh tires and decals, I'm in. Just have to ditch the engines, as both engines in the kit are not suitable. The Ford Motor was seldom used. (Very, Very Seldom) and the other is just as bad. And Neither is the Hemi called out on the decals. Major Fail on the part of Atlantis, but fixable. I'll be dropping in a 283 Chevy, which was used quite often in the little Fiats.

Raining Here. Been raining the last 24 hours. 52 deg. No Hiking today.

Man, makes me really want one, now! Thanks for sharing.

I want to thank all of you guys for posting your cat pictures. Once or Twice a week, my 4 year old Grandson sits on my lap. and we scroll through the "Kitty Pictures". He has great fun looking at the many Cats and comparing the ones in the pics to the 4 that live in his house. (Emmet, Benny, Grayson & Zelda) This really makes his day, and it is a great way to spend time with him in the mornings while we let Grandma sleep in a bit longer. ?

What David says. Nice, but beyond my budget.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I've been listening to Tom's music since I was 17. (42 years ago) His satire helped me cope.

Binge Watched the new "Vanity Fair" series on Amazon. 7 episodes in all. Was really great. My wife and I watch a lot of 19th Costume Dramas on Streaming and really enjoy most of them. We like most anything by Austin, Trollope, Thackeray, Dickens, ect. It is great having the time to watch these shows.

Wow, what a great lesson in scratch building and accurizing. That Interior looks great!

Ranma, please accept my condolences too. Horrible way to lose a friend.

A Movie... I have never seen the 1980 Horror "masterpiece" that is "The Shining". The famous one. Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and all that. The movie was well filmed, and decent to watch, until you get to the Baseball Bat part. Then, "Gah!" The next 4 1/2 hours of the movie are awful. Loud Shrill (so-called) Music, Nicholson eats the scenery, and poor Shelly spends that same 4 1/2 hours with the same look of vacuous horror frozen on her face. And this is where the modren Horror Movie convention of slowing things down, to "increase the fear" (Bore You with closer and bloodier) camera shoots must originate. And then of course, Jack kills the only hope of rescue. They Showed an "Akitiv Snow Trac"in the beginning of the movie. I thought "Great, I'll get to see it run" (Chekov's Gun and all that). But, No! Jack tears out the Dist Cap, and that's it for the Snow Trac. What a let down. What an awful movie. Glad I finally saw it, but what a Turkey! What a steaming pile of garbage this movie is.
