I think Cactus Grey might be my fav colour on these. Excellent choice!

Last warning. Any more politics, and 30 day bans will be handed out and this thread disappears.

I have not started the build yet. But I have looked at the box. And have dug a few pieces out of the OBS wrecking yard.

Sure, I can do that. ?

Agreed. Toronto should have won against Boston, and I think I would have preferred Vegas over Dallas. It's a moot point though, as the Oilers will be wining the cup. ?

I don't watch a lot of tv. And outside of hockey and curling, I can't recall the last time I watched network television. We have a few streaming services, because of course the few shows we do want to watch are all on different services. Ah well.

Amazing work!

They're fiddly for sure. I laid the cab on it's side and just took it very slowly. Did each mirror separately, piece by piece, and used CA glue for a quicker and stronger hold.

Okay. That's enough everyone. Let's stick to the Tucker discussion before this thread has to disappear.

I never realized how toy-like the Pocher kits could be. For the money they cost, that front suspension would be a huge disappointment to me. Seeing what you did to the Testarossa, and what you've already should above, I have no doubts this will be a stunner when finished!

Debated within myself whether to answer...or whether to hide your post. But here goes...the war isn't affecting all parts of the country, or directly affecting all residents. If another country invaded the east coast of the US, would people in California or Washington be directly affected? Or would they be able to continue their daily routines? Anyway, kit looks great, and that is the going price for resin kits. Just look at Alpha Model's pricing. Or even PZY, who should be cheaper because they just copy Alpha Model. Or A&N Model Trucks.

Wow. Just...wow. The level of detail is off the charts.

Neil's son is handicapped, and because controllers weren't designed for mobility limited people, Neil purchased a stake in Lionel so that they would introduce a redesigned controller. And yes, James May's Toy Stories actually had two episodes all about model trains. Season 1 had an episode that did not end how he wanted it to. The mission failed. So in season 2, he redesigned the track and tried again. This time, with much more success. Personally, I thought the Airfix Spitfire episode was the best one.

Although I've never given any away, I do cruise around in hopes of finding discarded kits! It's funny, because people put furniture out. Couches, chairs, tables, lamps, etc. And every year, those crazy teens will set up some comfort at the skatepark. There will be a full living room set up at the skatepark. Sofas, loveseats, tables, lamps. You name it. And of course, like clockwork, the fuddy duddies will be complaining on the local facebook page about those darn kids. And I'll chuckle, because that's exactly the sort of harmless nonsense I did as a youth.

Getting a lot done with the garage cleanout. Loaded up a ton of old paint, chemicals, car batteries from both our garage and my mother in law's garage. Filled the back of the truck. Then off to the EcoStation where they allow us to drop this stuff off for free. This weekend, our town is holding what they call the "Treasure Hunt" where people are encouraged to place unwanted items on the curb, and then people can drive around and pickup whatever they want. It's like a free town-wide garage sale. And then on Monday, anything that's left on the curbs is picked up by the town and disposed of. So I'll be getting rid of all kinds of other stuff from the garage and the shed. Spring cleaning. Yee haw!

I can't image why anyone would want to live somewhere an HOA exists. That whole concept just baffles me. To think that neighbours can have a say as to what kind of plants I put in my front yard, or what colour I paint my front door? I've heard about HOA having rules about what you can park in your driveway. It would be just constant nonsense and petty BS. Thankfully, HOA are virtually non-existent in Canada. Of course, we still get those people that complain about kids playing in the front yards on a Saturday afternoon. Devil's advocate. 1. He parked far from the doors too, knowing it would be easier to get his truck in and out of the spot. And if he has to load lumber or something into the back, parking far away helps ensure he'll still have access to the box of his truck. 2. He saw your car and knew that because of your car's condition, and where you parked, that you are careful and wouldn't be doordinging his truck. 3. to be fair, he is parked well within his stall. Of course, he didn't need to park right next to you. He could have left a space. It's like using the urinal right next to someone, when there's a whole wall of empty ones. It's just weird. And he's driving around with the tow mirrors flipped...with no trailer.

Cool! Seeing those Belvederes in assembly reminds me of the footage from the Detroit plant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4koPfEQVo44

Yes, I think I read that when he was on tour, he would always bring his workbench with him so that he could work on parts of the track from the various hotels around the world. Nightlife? Parties? Art galleries? Nope. Building scenery for his train set! I am reminded of the Trailer Park Boys episode where Bubbles and the boys head to a train show in the US to see Patrick Swayze's train set. And then Sebastian Bach from Skid Row discusses his love of model trains. Then Bubbles stole Swayze's train. There is language in this clip, so do not click if you are offended by words starting with f. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAbZi14-i6s

Yup! They've done a very simple 1/24 version, and a 1/20 version too.

With bright red, that pink Tamiya primer makes a huge difference!

Looks awesome! But upon reading the thread title, I thought this would be a different Lonestar RV.

It's amazing what you can do when you're semi-retired and have as much extra time as you want. And a space large enough to do it. Ohh, and Rod Stewart's bank account!

More pics? Car looks like it's coming along well. Much cleaner that the last pics you posted here!

Finally cleaned the garage from a winter of accumulation and got my workspace back. It's still chaos, but at least I have room to work.
