Best, most succinct description of the ownership evolutions of those entities I've heard. Good job, Mark.

Nice! No, that's very nice!!

Exceptional work as usual, Tom!!

Brought it to a great finish, Ray! I knew you were kidding about getting a part in Walking Dead, because your shoes were too fancy!

Armor auction, you say? T'anks a lot! I'll have to Czech it out.

Excellent junk!

Sinister!

It's difficult to apply decals to any flat or matte finish. Haven't experienced setting solution attacking paint before. Still an excellent build despite the finish issues.

Love the paint! I disagree on the plug wires, though. I think they look more like garden hoses than heater hoses. Seriously, Krishna, they are so out of scale they distract from your otherwise beautiful model.

Dittos!! Well said, Brad.

Kewl!!

Great job, Art!

Nice lines, great color.

Nice.

Take a little time today to honor and thank the Greatest Generation, our troops, and the allied troops for their extreme sacrifices 70 years ago, and for all the freedoms we've enjoyed the past 7 decades as a result.

Spectacular! Every time I revisit it and look at it again, it seems like the first time. Exceptional build and very entertaining.

Today's banking business model: ANY excuse to charge a fee.

That looks sweet! Nice to see one that's not red.

What's with the soft porn pix mixed in? Anybody else seeing them, or just here?

Sunny and 83 here today, too. (If you don't count the last twenty degrees.)

A friend of mine was a judge. He always said divorce was too expensive for men. His recommended resolution was to strip naked, paint yourself up with fingerpaints in wild patterns, drench yourself in citronella, wear a pirate's hat, and shoot the beeotch. Then run down the middle of the street singing polka songs in Swahili with a southern accent, waving your arms in circles . . . until the police pick you up. You'll spend a couple of months in confinement for evaluation. You start out talking gibberish and nonsense, but gradually over a month or so begin talking more rationally. The mental health experts will be so proud of themselves for curing you that they'll certify you are no longer a danger to society and recommend you for release. Quicker and much cheaper than divorce, and more final. Do I need to point out that his "advice" was tongue-in-cheek humor? And usually dispensed after a few Jacks-n-Cokes at select cocktail parties.

Dittos to everything Tom said! I'll add two more caveats about showing dioramas: If you use or need electricity for your diorama, check first with contest/show organizers. Some venues must make special arrangements or provisions for electric power, or locations with power are limited. Some venues don't even have provisions for electrical power at display tables. I've known of venues that charged a fee for any plug-in, and the contest/show organizers will generally have rules or guides that apply to requests for electricity. Also, if your diorama is populated only with die casts, check first with the contest/show organizers for applicable rules. Some events allow only plastic models and prohibit any die casts. Some events allow modified die casts but not unmodified ("store-bought") die casts. Some events will allow 'display-only' status for dioramas populated with only die casts, but won't allow them to be entered into competition. It's best to know the rules beforehand, as Tom said, rather than show up and find your diorama can't compete or be displayed. Yelling and screaming because you didn't check the rules first generally won't change the rules.

No such thing as a bad '58 Chevy!

Nice model of an unusual subject!

Nice.
