Looks pretty good to me. Lots of selection, pricing is really good. I'd give it a try. In fact, I probably will.

Yup. If you print something hollow, but don't leave a hole somewhere in the print, that's going to happen. I had the same issue with a couple of pieces. Hollowed them out to save resin, didn't place a hole or vent in the parts. Same results.

Looking really good!

Is this the start of retirement? Or just moving to a nicer climate?

This arrived in the mail today. Nuno Porsche 911 SC Rally. Had to get the extensive detail pack too, many because it includes the actual Rothman's decals.

In October I'll be taking my mum to England for a few weeks. Her and my dad are both from England, and moved to Canada in '69 after getting married. Growing up we used to go there every 2 or 3 years to visit. Would take a month in the summer. After my sis and I grew up and moved out, my parents would go every fall, did that for years. They last went in fall of 2018, which was good because dad passed in spring of 2019. Mum is getting older, her older sis has dementia, and everyone is getting older, so mum wants to go back one last time to see all the family. And as she won't drive over there, I'm going as her chauffer. Should be a nice trip. Would be nice to take wifey and the kids, but with the boy starting university in September, and my daughter in the honours program at high school, plus teaching dance in the evenings, they can't go. And wifey won't leave them home alone for 3 weeks, so she's not coming. Ahh well, maybe next summer.

Agreed! I received a kit that looked like it had been sat on for the entire trip to get to me. But... I sent them pics of the crushed box, exactly how I received it. They refunded me in full, and I ordered another one. It arrived in a mailer bag, and in perfect condition. And the best part is when I opened the crushed kit, the contents were actually perfect. Zero damage at all. So yay for me. The Canadian Amazon site doesn't have a lot of deals on model kits. And I haven't seen any that qualify for Prime. However, I get a lot of supplies from there. Tape, sanding sponges/sticks, blades, etc. Some really good deals there.

I don't have an issue with that. We have threads for eBay, Hobby Lobby, and I think Michaels. so why not Amazon too? I say go for it.

It still exists?! That's awesome. One of my fav tv shows of all time. And it's beautiful. I'll have to remember to go looking for that next time we're through Nanaimo. We drive through there on vacation all the time.

We have a squirrel now. It's pretty cute. Our pup disagrees.

Weather is looking good for our Canada Day long weekend, and there's a big car show in my town. Typically brings in 300-400 vehicles. Cool! Oh, and ordered another kit yesterday morning. I love vendors that are on the ball. It's already shipped, should be here Tuesday. I love fast shipping, especially when it's over a long weekend.

I used to play that a few years ago. Thought it was really good. Especially for a free game on the iPad. I always painted my cars Smurf Blue with grey wheels. Racing games are pretty much the only video games I've ever been good at.

Turned out fantastic!

They weren't friends at the start of the trip, but now they're quite chummy. I'll show myself out now...

That's the one I'm using as a base. It's in paint now.

I always thought the front end headlight design on this class of car was unattractive. But your build sure isn't. Excellent work!

Correct on all counts, except for one. They won't find any bodies. Period. When the sub imploded, they were squashed. There will be nothing identifiable left to find.

I wish this thread would implode.

Now THAT is a billion dollar idea!

No, I saw your point. Some millionaire goes rogue and cuts corners in his submarine company. Pays the price. Some other guy that tried to warn everyone about the cut corners gets fired and ignored. Doesn't change how I feel about the entire situation, which is what my comment was about.

What's a shark's favourite fast food? Five Guys. Anyway, I think the amount of attention given to this story for exceeds the amount of attention it deserves. Tragic for sure, but I think the hundreds that died on the migrant ship last week is a more important story. But I guess they're not wealthy, so obviously not worth the attention.

I actually got to see these products at a show over the weekend. The quality and detail is second to none. I would 100% not hesitate to purchase his products.
