    From a long-gone listing. Sorry images aren't larger. Note the cropped pickup bed sides.

    I recall seeing Sleeping Bag on MTV, once. For me the song itself became background music to the action of the video and afterwards I had no memory of it. Kinda like OK GO videos for me. ?

    Yeah, I have some like those. I also have some old Polaroid cameras as well. In my college days I got use out of my larger folding cameras by loading print paper in where the film would sit, one shot at a time in a "dark bag". Afterward I contact printed the negative with another piece of print paper. Not convenient at all, but I did get some interesting shots.

    I heard a fascinating radio interview with him. Utterly fascinating.

    I still have all my old darkroom stuff, a ton of obsolete cameras, and I think a bunch of slide mounts as well. Don't know what I'm going to do with it all.

    “The cutting edge of the civilized mind is the hand of the craftsman.”—Dr. Bronowski “A person who works with his hands is a laborer. A person who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman. A person who works with his hands, his brain and his heart is an artist.” —Louis Nizer I don't know who the quoted people were, but the quotes came from the website of the Craftsmanship Museum, located in California. https://craftsmanshipmuseum.com/craftsmanship-topic/

    FWIW: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/from-scratch-word-history-origin I don't expect this to settle arguments, but the history of the term is fascinating nonetheless.

    Has anyone even offered decals in scale? Such an iconic livery.

    I'm just getting into this band, the dB's. '80s alternative/college rock is fascinating...

    That resin cab looks nice. FWIW, here's what a typical frame of the period looks like. https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1942_47/4247csm204.htm More info: https://vccachat.org/ubbthreads.php/topics/125810/old-online-chevy-manuals-links-update-1946-48.html

    I guess CO2 cartridges were poplar for model racing as well, and appear to still be around. As far as the original video goes, I don't think I'd allow that at a contest. So many materials used for displays and the tablecloths themselves can be flammable. It is a neat effect on video, though.

    Jetex motors were used in large numbers by the crew who made Thunderbirds and related British TV shows in the '60s for various vehicular special effects. Quite often they were employed just to kick up dust while the vehicle miniature was in motion on set.

    This video shows the last open house for this layout, as it will be dismantled and moved for someone else to enjoy!

    No judgement was intended on my part. Attempts to look up "Thomas Toys" get choked with results for Thomas the Tank Engine merch. ?
