Artists that should be in the Rock n' Roll Hall of fame.
iamsuperdan replied to Mike C.'s topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
What?! Saga definitely had some duds, but they had some killer tracks too. Scratching The Surface, Wind Him Up, On The Loose And Killer Dwarfs were an awesome band in their prime! We Stand Alone, Keep The Spirit Alive, Dirty Weapons, Stand Tall. -
Upcoming late '23-early '24 Revell releases
iamsuperdan replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Very interested in the C8 Corvette. Being a brand new tool, I'm hoping they did it justice with full detail and Tamiya-levels for quality. -
Revell (Monogram) 1/24 1977 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade
iamsuperdan replied to Jordan White's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I built this one a few years back. It's a nice kit. -
Earlier this week, I stocked up. Tamiya sanding sponges Tamiya paints and primers Some decal setting stuff AMT 2021 Bronco X2 Tamiya GMA T.50 Tamiya Porsche 911 GT1 (I have four of these now, not sure why I keep picking them up) And I picked up a small pen sander/grinder. Should make smoothing 3d printed bodies a little less tedious.

Most detailed model?
iamsuperdan replied to Scott8950's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Beautiful build for sure, and definitely more than my skills could achieve, but I think when it comes to the "most detailed model" then I feel A4 Garage or Mokei Paint go a step or two further. For example, the panel beneath his windshield. Looks like he used a wash to highlight the openings. Which is totally fine, and is what myself and most others would do as well. However, some others would have actually opened those up. And A4 Garage would probably have built the plumbing underneath to run the fresh air into the cabin. Check these out: -

No, she's not a rock artist. This is just her doing something a little different for one album. By that standard, Metallica should be in the country music hall of fame because they have a couple of songs with slide guitar and b-benders. -
This is pretty awesome. ?

Question for those in the UK
iamsuperdan posted a topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have a question for those in England. I'm heading over at the end of September for a few weeks. What are some good hobby stores in the south? I'll be mainly in Southampton, but have a car, so will be mobile. I know we'll be visiting family in Reading, Burley, and Wokingham. And we'll be at Brands Hatch on Oct 7. Any suggestions? I know Beaulieu had an awesome gift shop back in the day, and I picked up a few kits there, but that was literally 35 years ago! -
I am incredibly disappointed. Have been waiting for this kit for a long time, and this is now the second review I've seen that clearly shows just how poor this kit is. But because I'm a dummy when it comes to VW, I'll probably still pick one up.

Yup. I ordered something last week and it just shipped yesterday. Exactly on time, as when I place the order it said it would ship on the 22nd. I've ordered from them before, never an issue. Always arrives when they say it will arrive and in good condition.

All depends on the dealership. Most dealerships will ask for a deposit, and rightfully so. It's whether that deposit is fully refundable or not that you would need to clarify. Some dealers will refund 100% of it. Some will refund a portion of it and keep some of it to cover carrying costs if you choose not to take it and they have to book it into inventory. And some dealers will tell you straight up that a deposit is non-refundable. Kind of depends on the vehicle too. If you order an oddball colour combo or trim package or options, expect that deposit to be non-refundable. For example, the Bronco I would order for myself would be considered an oddball. I'd go with a 4dr Bronco Black Diamond, In Race Red, with the manual transmission and Sasquatch package. Around here, red and manual would limit the appeal of this one. SO I'd fully expect to be leaving a deposit, and would plan on not getting all of it back if I had to cancel. If you order something common and easily sellable, you'd probably get it back. Like a black on black 4 dr with auto trans. Or any Bronco in Area 51. Or a Raptor. Best to clarify with your dealer, but expect it.

Lolz. I've listened to at least half of those bands in the past week! Going to see Big Wreck in November. Saw Aldo Nova a couple of weeks ago. Skinny Puppy should be up for the RRHOF. Not massive album sales, but hugely influential in the industrial scene. Arguably as big an impact as Nine Inch Nails, who were inducted a couple of years ago. -
CAD WIP vintage motor boat and trailer

Cool! I think a bench seat would better suit it. -
Some background. The entire city of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories has been evacuated due to massive forest fires. It's crazy. So the evacuees are making their way here to Alberta. The Edmonton area will have thousands of these people spending some time here. Can't imagine what this would be like. Having to evacuate, not knowing if you would have a home anymore. Crazy. The Edmonton Elks are our CFL football team. They currently have the dubious honour of being the professional sports team, IN ANY SPORT EVER, with the longest at home losing streak. We haven't won a game at home since 2019. Won our first game of the season over the weekend. Season is half over right now. I don't think we won a game at all last season. Then I see this headline in today's paper, and I chuckled a little. Haven't these people suffered enough? I mean really.

Artists that should be in the Rock n' Roll Hall of fame.
iamsuperdan replied to Mike C.'s topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Officially, RRHOF induction is based on... "Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artists' contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll." So album sales technically don't enter into it, but it kind of goes hand in hand with the above. So really, the biggest factor is the artists' impact on music as a whole. Have they influenced others in a significant manner? Did their arrival change anything? There are some bands that are hugely popular, that I love, but they're not in. And rightfully so. Def Leppard for one. Huge sales, awesome band, but did their music really change or influence the music that came after? Not really. Then you see a band like Metallica, or Depeche Mode. Huge sales, and their arrival on the music scene changed their respective genres of music. So 100% should be in there. In the case of Depeche Mode though, this is where the line gets blurry. Are they a "rock" band? What constitutes "rock" music? DM aren't a rock band per se, even though they have a bit of that rock attitude. Should Dolly Parton be in the Rock Hall of Fame? Hugely successful, massively influential on future artists, but not even close to being a rock performer. She should absolutely be in a Hall of Fame of some kind, but the Rock one? I don't think so. -
Was looking at some old pics last night and came across this. 12 years ago yesterday, I won Best of Class in a VW show. THat's my 93 Passat GLX wagon. VR6 Manual transmission Very large turbo Porsche D90 wheels full Borla exhaust coilover suspension bunch of other stuff. I kinda miss this one.

Stunning as always! I still think your photos are amazing. The lighting is perfect. Just makes everything that much more realistic.

And that, my friend, is what this hobby is all about! Hello and welcome from the province next door!

Iron Maiden Joy Division/New Order How those two aren't in yet is beyond my comprehension. -
I don't like spiders, but I pretty much leave them alone...until they get into my space. such as hanging out right by the front door. Then we do battle.
