Outstanding, Tom!

I've been a Verizon "Wireless" [apparently that's how they prefer to refer to their cell phone service] customer for 23-24 years with three (3) phones/lines. I have always had an "unlimited" plan, and although the cost has crept up over the years, it has been acceptable. Until this year. Last spring I got a text message that I had exceeded my data limit and would be assessed an additional $15 (approximately 15% of my monthly bill). I didn't get it, since my plan was all-inclusive unlimited talk and data. I shrugged it off as a fluke. The next month, I got another, followed two weeks later by another. The next month, I got three of them. Each time they urged me to select an "unlimited" plan to prevent such occurrences in the future. I went to their website and guess what - the "unlimited" plan they promoted was about 30% more than my current "unlimited" plan - the one I've had for a couple of decades. But, it was about the same cost as their new monthly surcharges added to my then-current plan. So, I buckled under and signed up for their "unlimited" plan. Two months later, I get another text message - you guessed it, data limit exceeded and $15 billed. Then the next day, another. Then the next day another. Each time adding another $15 to my monthly bill. Sunday I get four of them, about twenty minutes apart - another $60 added to my monthly "unlimited plan" bill. Yesterday, more. They've added more to my monthly bill in the past three days than my base monthly bill is. Tomorrow, I start the process of calling them and questioning/protesting/trying to mitigate the excessive charges. After 23-24 years, I guess they just want to get rid of me. Anybody know anything about Pure Talk cell phone service? PS: I think this fits in this category - I use my cell phone in my car all the time.

NOW what?!

Good for you, Kurt!! Now just try dealing with the rabid money-devouring multi-fanged soul-killing vultures at Verizon! Let me know how it goes - - - I can use the tips!

Sad to hear about Kristofferson. He achieved so much despite his demons. Saw him on a TV special recently . . . he did a duet performance with a female singer who had to carry him through his own song. Bless his heart, he could very barely force very little sound out of his throat. He was obviously suffering but still tried. RIP, Kris . . . and thank you so very much for your music!

Favorite Singers for me include Kris Kristofferson, who has now passed into the Former Favorites category, unfortunately.

OUTSTANDING!!

Nice.

Very nice. There just aren't enough finished Model A models out there!

If your dogs are spiral cut, what on earth did you do to your cats? ?

Most excellent score! What's not to love?

Plan A was the Greenhouse Effect; then the boogie man became Plan B - Global Warming; next, Plan C was Anthropogenic Interference (or a heavy metal band), then it all morphed into Plan D - climate change with a minor in evil-demon fossil fuels; what's next you say; Plan E must be the cataclysmic spontaneous meltdown of EV batteries!

Too many choices.

Nice, Tom.

Hmmmmm. Do I spy a Plymouth Belvedere grille and a pair of Belvedere taillights on that chrome tree?

? and the Mysterions was a rock group in the 60s who hit it fairly big with their one-hit wonder, "96 Tears." >> [Do you see what I did there? Hee, hee, heeee.]

Breeding used to be fun, and babies are great most of the time, but then they grow up; teenagers are challenges that outweigh the fun years; then they become adults - small kids, small problems; big kids BIG problems.

Are the fatigues optional?

Gorgeous, Glen!

Box art meant much more and had more influence on purchases years ago. But, now, with the advent of the internet - particularly hobby sites and YouTube - box art means nothing. Not when one can virtually grok a kit in its entirety and personally assess the kit contents, parts count, and accuracy/execution of the molding, etc., without spending one's own dime. The value and desirability of a kit has absolutely no correlation to box art anymore. Unless you're into art collecting.

Dang! When I was a kid watching "The Flintstones" I had no idea Wilma looked SO GOOD!!!

Whoa! GLEN! That's great!! Very much approved.

The scale was closer to 1:24 and it was proportionally challenged - wider than it should have been.

Your kit and the finished example are exceptional! Really captures the Tucker. One of the Tuckers lives nearby . . . in the Martin Auto Museum. Just studied it last week. Great job, Oleksandr! As others have said, be safe!

Plated tires? I don't remember those! ?
