When the elections went down this past fall, they were the most attended in the town's history, and the public candidate forums were literally overflowing. People are ticked and they're doing soemthing about it. Nice to see. The sad thing is, although I know you're writing in jest, there is some truth behind this.

If their logo is an accurate representation, then Colonel Sanders had a giant head and a ridiculously small body. I like to believe that everything is to scale.

So last night a consturction crew working on installing traffic lights near my subdivision decided it would be a good idea to ignor the little utilities flags everywhere, and took out a gas main. From 3pm yesterday until about 6am today, no gas. That means no heat, no hot water. In Canada. In winter. Was repaired this monring, furnace up and running and water heater re-lit before I left for work, but I tell you...that was a b|tch of a shower this morning. The kicker? This is the same construction company that took out a water main...twice...on the other side of town last summer. But our small town uses them because they're "local and offer great value for the community." Translation, they're cheap. THis came up in fall during our local elections, and was quite a point of contention during a couple of the candidates forums. Can't wait to see the reaction during the next few open council meetings. would be great to see some accountability here.

I've got about 12 on the bench right now. My garage is insulated, but not heated, so I can't do any spraying during the winter. I build until I get to point that requires spraying, then it gets put to the side and I work on something else. Once the weather turns adn it's consistantly nice out, I'll have a flurry of activity. SHould be able to finish quite a few kits this year!

Plus temperatures, snow is melting, sun is shining. That means we're getting closer to the day I can break out the shorts and flip flops again. And more importantly, can get back in the garage and do some painting! I have at least a dozen kits stalled, painting for paint.

Excellent build, but holy cow did they get that front end wrong or what?! Can't say I've ever seen a console shift on a reg cab S10 that wasn't a Syclone. Anyway, great build on a so-so kit!

I still would.

That 356. *drools* And that Corvette wagon thing. That is definitely cool.

I love hiking in this kind of weather. The fall is probably my fav time of year.

I wonder if this will appear on the show? http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/multi-vehicle-crash-closes-coquihalla-highway-near-hope

Hey there! That would be the H-Hangar kit from Handhead. I just made a thread about this. I'm using two of the Hangar 01 kits and the LED kit.

In some of my under glass posts, people have asked what that sci-fi looking background I use is. It is the H-Hangar from Hand & Head Hobbies out of Korea. https://www.handhead.co.kr/h-hangar01 A friend of mine is way into sci-fi and action figures and whatnot. I thought these looked cool, so grabbed a couple .My diorama is actually two kits, each one being about 8" square. There's also an LED light addition, which I picked up as well. https://www.handhead.co.kr/l-unit There are a few other add ons as well. https://www.handhead.co.kr/product They snap together easily, and I think with a little weathering, these could have huge potential.

Totally forgot about Chinook! Not sure what they have for online presence, but the actual brick and mortar store is pretty good. Will have to check out Model Land. I've never actually heard of that one.

100% agree with this. Ivan at Wheels & Wings has been great to deal with. I've ordered quite a few kits from then. Just find what you want, the call or email to see if they have it. I haven't been disappointed yet! PM Hobbycraft in Calgary is good, but their webstore isn't as good as being there in person. Same goes for Hobby Wholesale in Edmonton, who are sadly the onyl real hobby store left here. City of over a million people, one hobby store.

COuldn't find one last night. Will see what I can turn up.

Hey,I'm getting mixed signals here. Does anyone know if season 6 is on Netflix? I think it is. lolz I keed, I keed.

Got some build time in last night with princess. Her stuffed unicorn assisted. Some of you may remember the '56 Chev I posted up that she built previously. This Jeep continues the out of the box thinking! Pretty proud of that.

We had this one arrive yesterday, ready to deliver to a new client. I absolutely love these. Brand new 2017 Sprinter 2500 4X4 high roof 12-passenger van. This one is pretty loaded, and we did a tire upgrade for the client. I want one for myself. Badly. I had the white one pictured a couple of years ago. Absolutely loved it. But it wasn't the high roof version. Still, should have kept that one. Would love to see this in kit form.

Yup! Love the Jeeps! I've had five over the years. Eagerly awaiting the day I can order the new JL pickup with a diesel!

Yeah, kept her in good shape. Very little rust, no body damage at all, which was quite the feat considering what our camping and wheeling trips were like. Ultimately, growing family meant an upgrade, so it went off to a new home, replaced with an '02 Tahoe Z71. The guy I sold it to turned it into his dedicated offroad beast. Completely tore it up. Fender and body cutting, bumpers, body damage, gutted the interior. Made me sad seeing what became of her.

Turning out beautifully!

I'd say it was my 1993 Jeep XJ Sport. I bought that in '98 when it had 70,000km on it. Four door, 4.0L inline 6, AC, no power windows or locks, and the rare rear mounted spare. Drove that thing until it hit almost 450,000km. Over time it received 6 inches of lift and bigger tires, lighting and exhaust upgrades, a very custom stereo install, built in radar. We did a few Jeep Jamborees, lots of camping and off road adventures. Had a tree fall on it and literally bounce off the glass. Never let me down. No break downs, never towed, never left me stranded. Routine maintenance, and it was perfect. I miss this one constantly.

GOing back a few posts... So that's Bruce's old truck in the blasting booth? Will be cool to see that one resurrected. I daresay the episode where they reveal that will become a Bruce tribute episode, and will be a fan favourite for sure. Rasta Mike. I knew the yard, had no idea that was his! I don't know if I'm impressed at the collection, or disappointed in the colossal waste of iron just sitting there, slowly rotting away. Either way, I want to go spend a day just poking around taking pics. For those looking, I'm pretty sure Netflix has the first six seasons of HTH.

That entire stretch of road is actually a beautiful drive! The sad thing is, I'll be doing 120kmh on it, and I'm usually one of the slower guys out there. 120 is fast enough for me. So many others driving way too fast for conditions, even in clear summer weather.
