Well, the Joros are back. They make nice big webs. I just got these shots today with the sun at my back illuminating the webs and spiders.

Nice collection and I like the shelf too.

Really cool build! I watched it all live on TV.

Nice little Honda and you can't go wrong with a Tamiya kit.

Really cool, one of the best Sci-fi robot from a great and timeless Sci-fi classic.

That is an excellent build!

Nice build, those are great cars!

Beautiful work!

Really nice build, great paint!

That's a great diorama!

I use this stuff from the Dollar store. Non toxic, no smell and strips off enamel paint.

I recently discovered you can just copy/paste a photo where the cursor is.

I also recently discovered on this forum (and my mountain bike forum too) that I can just copy/paste a picture into where the cursor is.

I built one of those years ago. This is how it came out, it's a beater.

Louie when he was a pup. More recently at 12 years old.

Here's another little creature in my yard.

Years ago I had this in my yard, more like a flower pot on the railing.

Sorry to hear that. Dogs are so precious. He looks a little like my dog that I grew up with.

Did you know that they are the most efficient predators with over a 90% kill rate? It's because if their eyes that can see almost all around and they can maneuver like a helicopter.

A couple of weeks ago while I was washing my car I had this visitor:

Ford and Boeing must be working together.

It depends on the parts and where the attachment points is (that's called a mold gate). If it's someplace that's not going to be seen or needs a touch up then I leave it on the parts tree. But sometimes I don't have a choice and leaving it attached is acceptable and I may have to touch it up where I cut it off.

Actually, that's not the only dead giveaway. I never placed such an order in the first place is another. Plus I get a number of these style scams. The whole return email address is always a dead giveaway too. The attachment says it's scanned by Gmail, so it might be safe to open and look at it, but's it's a phony. All I have to do is go to my PayPal account and see what transactions I really made.

Here's one I just got and I get a number of these. I NEVER open the attachment. Plus it's not any order or payment I ever made.

I've had an SMS text scam pretending to be from my bank. It said there was a transaction and I should click their link to verify it. Of course there was no charge. I certainly didn't click the link and I called up my bank to verify that the text wasn't from them. For one this it came from a 10 digit phone number. The bank's text's come from a 4 digit number. Then a week later I had another one from another bank. I just ignored it. I've also had phony USPS texts claiming a problem with my delivery. I knew that was BS too. One time when I got one of those I already had a real text from the USPS because it was a tracking text. I could see the difference in the numbers they cam from. AND if it was real it would have been part of the real USPS text, not in a separate one. Plus I know what packages I have coming.
