Good job!

It's officially called "The 21st Century Beetle."

No, they dropped their enthusiast/enthusiasm several years back.

Awesome!

Wow! Terry; great gift, great daughter, great talent. I've never heard anyone that good at any Karaoke night I've been! You are da lucky man!

Yeah, baby! I hope to be spry and flexible enough at 70 to jump out of an airplane on purpose!! Way to go, Jimbo! You continue to give us old guys hope. Happy Birthday. May you fully enjoy many, many more!

The new spots are much better for this truck than the old ones.

Chaos? Isn't that the evil group Maxwell Smart was always skirmishing with?

I thought the "General" section was (1) only for officers above Colonel rank, but I was never certain about whether Admirals could hang out there, or, (2) only for orange Chargers with welded doors and roofs that cannot be posted on 'that other board' alongside the swastikas and rising suns that are okay on their sister board.

Well, if you want to get literal, it's a good point. Let me rephrase my pithy observation: Lost leader is what our ecomony has too many of ... leadership and leaders that are totally lost.

FYI, probably just a typo, but it's actually "loss leader" not "lost leader." Otherwise your info is dead-on. Lost leader is what our economy has ... a leader who is totally lost.

Can anybody translate this into English? What's a DM dizzy kit? What?

Nice, Zoli! Very nice!

Is styrene carcinogenic? Only when found in solid form, orange, and shaped like the General Lee. [insert the missing ninja emoticon here.]

Commented in the other thread also; beautiful!

Gorgeous!!! Perfect stance.

Kewl x3.

Nice result.

Patrick, Update on Tim Pentecost ~ He and family have evacuated from their home; they are staying outside the fire region with friends and he has taken his built-up models ... they don't know what to expect; they are safe but their home is in danger. The other White Mountain folks are apparently okay as well.

Or the other inviolate topic ... Dukes of Hazzards General Lee replicas ad nausem.

Nope. The one Terry posted is much nicer!

Progress Report: Some; not much; certainly not enough.

Generally, any good quality contest with a Box Stock or Out of Box category will require that the builder provide and display a copy of the instructions with his/her entry. The judges can then review the instructions to see exactly what was or was not supplied in the kit. It usually resolves any questions or issues, and that's precisely why it's done. If the entrant fails to provide and display the instructions, the model is disqualified. One thing to keep in mind, at least from my judging perspective: Just because the model is displayed and/or entered, does not mean it has been judged and considered for award/s. Again drawing on experience, where models have been entered in 'Box Stock' class but did not meet the criteria of the class, they were disqualified and not judged. Spectators and entrants would not have seen any indication of that, because the models remained on the table ... they just did not "win." x2
