  1. Not on the road, but saw this in the Royal Alberta Museum in the Human History exhibit. The whole exhibit is about Alberta's growth. I guess this represents farm life and prosperity or something. Whatever the case, a nicely preserved truck. Says it has been restored, but it's not an over the top, show quality restoration. I like hearing about the stories behind vehicles too.
  2. I'm at work. Usually try to poke my head in at various times throughout the day.
  3. Very cool! I don't think I've ever seen a build of one of these that wasn't Max's car!
  4. Would definitely make for a fun day! I plan on taking my kids to a track experience event once they turn 18. The boy will be this summer, daughter is still 4 years away though. There's a good one at Area 27 in BC. Or possibly the Radford Racing School in AZ.
  5. It's an old one, but I grabbed the CD on a whim and was listening this morning. Andy Timmons is probably best known for being the guitarist in the hair band, Danger Danger, but he is a heck of a talented player.
  6. Extreme. From the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert in 1992. Just an awesome performance.
  7. Was stunned when I saw the news last night. Only 50. Had his demons in the past, but seemed to have cleaned him self up over the last decade or so. Seemed like such a genuine and normal guy. https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/taylor-hawkins-foo-fighters-drummer-has-died-at-age-50/
  8. It was. Biden is in Brussels today. His trip is all over the news. And judging by the comments in the thread, everyone else seemed to know who it was about.
  9. That's him! That's where I got mine from. He was able to cast and send me a couple. The crispness of the casting is excellent for sure, but when unpainted, some of the details seem off. They look great on your build though, so maybe I just need to get some paint on them.
  10. Bingo! Seriously? So by not allowing discussion of two subjects that ALWAYS lead to arguments and fights; by trying to keep things civil, you think we are turning into a totalitarian regime? This thread just proves that even the very idea of politics gets people fired up and argumentative. I'm starting to think this isn't the right place for some of you. I'm sure there are other model building boards that would be much more welcoming and open to heated political debate. Perhaps you should investigate.
  11. I'm sorry Joe, are you new here? Without fail, every single thread that discusses EVs, or kit prices, or car parts, or policy or whatever devolves into politics. Inevitably, there will be one or two individuals who cannot stop themselves from railing against China or US policymakers or any number of other things that are off limits. It happens. Every. Time. How many times must it be said? No politics. No religion. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of other forums and boards one can go to do discuss those things. The entire point of this board is to get away from that stuff and discuss building models. We're here because of the "dumbed down floof."
  12. Bill, you are too smart be playing dumb like this. It was very obviously about Biden making a trip to Brussels.
  13. Dang. That looks awesome!
  14. Discussing government policy, whether fact or fiction, is "forbidden ground." There are plenty of forums out there where people can get into discussions about government, politicians, policy, etc. Since day one, THIS board has NOT been the place. Discussing EVs is totally fine, but when it crosses the line into politics and procedures, that is the end of the line. Head on over to Motor1.com or Insideevs.com and you can debate policy, name names, and discuss all manner of government as it pertains to the automotive world.
  15. Excellent work! Makes me want to crack open my 1/24 version.
  16. That turned out great! I definitely need to DL a program to cut files in half. I have a few things that are too large for the print area.
  17. Excellent! Black Box' parts are so good. I've purchased a lot of his wheel/tire sets, interior pieces. Been eyeballing some of his Porsche body parts too. And further to the discussions above, my Elegoo printer's default print height was .05. I changed that to .04 and noticed a significant improvement in terms of layer lines. Takes a little longer, but I have much less prep time after printing to fix things. Am going to change it up to .03 and see how that goes.
  18. I'm not an airbrush guy either. But the kit chrome is horrible. Especially as you say, with poor attachment points.
  19. Curbside vs full detail doesn't matter much to me, provided the cost reflects the lower parts count. All I really want are crisp, defined details. I'm tired of the engine block blob or interior panels with almost no details on them. And I want more modern subject matter. Oh, and please ditch the toy-like chrome found on so many kits. Just skip the chrome plating and let builders add their own.
  20. Luna decided to sit nicely for a pic today.
  21. Where did you get the WT-spec grille? I found one source, can't remember who. Doesn't look as good as yours does.
