I second the Motion of a Same Kit/ Same Type of vehicle Build offs. Pick either a Brand Kit which has generated a lot of excitement, or a common kit that most folks might already have. On subject matter the sky is the Limit! Police Cars, Dump Trucks, Blue Cars, Chevrolet Vehicles........ My favorite, Flying Cars! Some of this already happens in the Group Build Forums, but maybe promote it more. A Banner on the top of the page when it Loads? "This Years Group Build". Higher visibility might promote more participation, and encourage more builders. As it is now, it's buried pretty deep. It should be the third line on the home page, just under the "How to use the board" entry. And no more than two builds going on at once.

No. I don't even know How to use facebook.

You are so correct about this!

I thought of a change. On the Emoji Tab in the Lower Right Corner, Could we get a "Thumbs Up" to go with the Heart. Sometimes I don't want to use the Heart, and would rather have a Thumbs Up. Maybe a Double Thumbs, along with the Heart for especially good news!

Those are really cool! I like the Joker-mobile!

I have 2 daughters. The Oldest lives across the street. I see her almost every day. The Youngest, lives 2 hours away. We don't talk more than 5 or 6 times a year, usually on Holidays. So, my time to talk to her is very limited. She called this afternoon, and we talked for almost 30 minutes. It was great. I really enjoyed catching up with her.

A sandwich Board advertising a restaurant in Okinawa, in 1988. It said "Nightly Special. $12.99. Steak & Robster" I still have the video of it. (on Beta-Max tape) -
Yeah, there is one Gent who does historic kit videos. He has some really great kits to show. But! He holds the box in his hand for 1/2 to 2/3rds of the video, droning on about the history of the kit before finally opening the box and showing the contents. I love kit histories, but Dude! Show us the parts as you are sharing the history. I seldom really watch his videos, just because there is So much talk before the action. It saddens me because he shows some really great kits. His delivery is dry, even, and very boring. He knows his stuff, but it is hard to listen to him.

Has the site been slow/unresponsive for anyone else? 3/9/25

I've noticed that the Ads are particularly heavy today, and the Forum has been slow, several times this week. It's fine this morning, but yesterday it some of the Same Old Issues with loading times. Today, lots more Ads, and for some reason, they are bigger too. Just odd that here we are talking about changing things, and the Ads are back with a vengeance. -
I looked last night for any signs that this Blazer kit has been announced, but could not find any. The Box Art looks like the new Round2, but there should be a bigger internet footprint if it is only 3 months away...... His research has been shoddy in other videos. And I'm willing to bet that the Scalemates timeline for the Snap Blazer Conflates the Revell and MPC kits, as well, so you do have to know some history not to confuse them. Maybe others who keep a closer eye on the new releases, and have better sources than I do, can find out more.

Looks like this Blazer may be coming back, this time with Coca-Cola Decals. Not sure if the Lightbar will still be in it.

Trade school enrollment is way up...

A.I will kills. Not out of Self Aware Malice like the Terminator, but due to so many things that it doesn't know, it doesn't know. The old joke $1000 dollars for hitting it with the Hammer, and $10,000 dollars for knowing where to hit it is true. As anybody who has worked with machines knows, they develop personalities. The may not be alive, but they are more than just machines. They develop quirks and behaviors just like living creatures. I fear A.I. because the folks who are building it are some of the smartest, but most foolish people in existence. Listen to how they talk. Egomaniacal, Autists almost to the person. No Humility at all. That's is why I don't trust them. They'll kill us all, on accident, and sit in the ruins wondering what happened. -

I've got a spare bedroom and an extra car. Everybody should have a Passport. That just leaves the Airfare.
