I have quite a few favorites, but when this came out, I drooled over this.

Hands down, for me, the upside of this hobby is: NO DEADLINES. Between running a business, remodeling my house, and having other people that rely on me, model building has become the escape from the deadlines I've been dealing with for 35 years. Most of my family and friends do not even know I started back into the hobby that I first got into as a kid. Mostly because they wouldn't understand why. If I want to practice airbrushing, that's what I do. If I want to solid model a new wheel, that's what I do. I have many things to learn and get better at. This Forum also seems like therapy: "My name is Keith and I'm a Model-holic." I have learned so much in the last five years on this forum. I just wish I could get more than two or three hours a week at the bench. Thanks guys!

Picked this 68 VW for $100 in 1977 with the idea it would make good college transportation. Put new fenders, tires, muffler, and heater boxes on it to get inspected. Also put an FM Converter in it to help make trips to school a little more comfortable. It finally died from cancer in 1982. Picked up a Revell "VW 60's Beetle" kit to make a replica that appears to be more work to get 'on the road' than the real one did.

Dennis, Wow! Guess we will call that an 'E' for effort. HA HA HA!

I just thought it was noteworthy enough to show were all this technology seems to be heading. Having read 'sci-fi' books in the early 70's, I never thought I'd see drones flying around during my lifetime, but here we are. Seems AI is here to stay. Might as well embrace what it can offer. Cheers.

peteski, it did after I edited the post.

Saw this video and thought it would interest some of the owners of 3D printers with no 3D modeling skills. Sorry. didn't realize it didn't embed.

The primary types of bankruptcy in the U.S. are Chapter 7 (liquidation), Chapter 11 (reorganization, primarily for businesses), Chapter 13 (repayment plan for individuals), Chapter 12 (for family farmers and fishermen), Chapter 9 (for municipalities), and Chapter 15 (for international cases).

My lord! I admire your work very much. My only criticism would be of my own inability to create such stunning works of art. Congratulations on your award.

OK, this one HAS to be vintage.

Does 28 years count as vintage?

Mmmmm... I guess my model building resolution should be to focus more on one project until it gets done. When I ran my business, I found that model building was an activity that didn't have deadlines. I would just build out of box and be happy, Build got done when it got done. After lurking on forums and drooling over builds with specific subject matter, I decided that this was the direction I wanted to take things (thanks guys!). Now I do research to make sure to get things right and decided to get into 3D printing so I could make wheels and parts that I can't find in the aftermarket. So, my nonchalant attitude, coupled with my solid modeling and 3D printing needs, has me in the middle of multiple builds that seem to all be in suspended animation. Focus, focus. Going to make a list and prioritize. Hopefully I'll get something finished.

Mr. Engwer, you always crack me up! Wishing everyone a good Thanksgiving.
