Nice job with a verrry basic kit, Wayne. -
AMEN, Brother Bill!!! Literacy is literally dying if not already dead. The dumbing-down process began with the huggy-feelie, if-it-feels-good-do-it, participation trophy, snowflake concepts that took root in the 70’s and have grown rampantly since. One need look for the murder weapon of literacy no further than the vast number of “teachers” (of our children and grandchildren) who themselves are illiterate. My skin crawls when I hear “educators” themselves spewing horrid grammar and syntax. During the ‘red for ed’ demonstrations for huge pay raises last year, it wasn’t uncommon to see “teachers” interviewed on TV news saying things like, “Me and her ain’t teaching no more classes until we get the raises we deserve.” Personally, I thought that was evidence some of our “educators” were already paid more than they deserved. It’s no wonder literacy has become nearly extinct. Soapbox stowed.

You have to have a LOT on the ball to live and survive long enough to achieve “old” status, man or woman, ‘ordinary’ or not. Fools and idiots generally don’t make it.

Hey! There I am! (#89). Standing right behind Mark S.! -
Bill, It's not Kurt's state, it's MY state! LOL. Seriously, welcome to the neighborhood, none the less. Sounds like you already have a pretty good handle on the haboobs. Just remember; they don't last long at all. Let us know if you need anything.

1/16 Scale Army Vega Funny Car - Finished 10/14/2018
Danno replied to Mooneyzs's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
It was a great call-out and acknowledgement of Chris’ masterpiece, but the photo images as published do it no justice. Gregg explained the idea (black backgrounds), but I don’t think it translated to print well. My guess is the images probably looked great on the computer monitor during layout. -
Congratulations! At least he’s not being transferred to Bogota, Columbia or Beirut or some other international cesspool. At least D.C. is still considered domestic travel . . .

Very, very nice.

Awesome news, Gregg! I can't wait to see it. Greg Myers; I'll let you rent mine! LOL. -
It looks like the one Juha mastered. It was originally cast by All American Models. Haven’t seen it available for at least a couple of decades. Nice work, Glen!

The Cannonball Run - HIGWAY PATROL "Car 42" - 1979-81 Firebird
Danno replied to RockinRoller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
This was my friend G’s sneaky attempt to test me! He of course knows that’s a ‘72, I say a SEVENTY- TWO, Dodge Polara! Sheeesh! He was deliberately messin’ with me! ? -
The Cannonball Run - HIGWAY PATROL "Car 42" - 1979-81 Firebird
Danno replied to RockinRoller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Totally fictitious car/agency. The colors are similar to Nevada’s Highway Patrol, but absolutely not California Highway Patrol. The arched lettering on the doors is more similar to Nevada in style and tightness of the arch. But, the star is a six-point star, not a seven-point. Both NV and CA used seven-point stars. And, neither CA or NV painted their spotlights white. To my knowledge, neither agency used Firebirds/Trans Ams, although they both used Camaro Z28s. Have at it, it will be a fun build - no real rules! After all, it’s a movie. -
FYI - that Sentimental Journey bomber was the People’s Choice selection. It was spectacular. Sun glasses recommended for viewing.

Congratulations, Kurt! All deserved and well-earned. I was surprised your Aerovette didn’t do better, but it was up against stiff competition: your Beetle and your Stealth, not to mention ALL those other guys!!! Still, it’s a beauty.
