  1. Nice!Nice!Nice! What I really like is the hood treatment, and you added stops in the door jambs... something sooooo overlooked! How do you get your stacks so true? Are they mounted in holes made w/ a drill press?
  2. Model building. Cheaper than paying a psychiatrist.
  3. And in the case of GM, it's just a cool sounding name they likely used without much research.
  4. Anyone know if subscribers like me can expect one in the mailbox?
  5. I want to build a model of my employer's '02 handicap transport. I had the die-cast, shipped it off to a certain caster. Wish I knew then what I know now about his reputation. Never saw it again. I think I bought another one, but it's downstairs in the jungle somewhere. Guess I will carve a buck for the hightop, and vac-u-form it. That was a nice van. Had a bench in the back; but the center was open for wheelchair tie-downs. The power lift ramp was a real rattler tho.
  6. I thought it might be a vintage Ferrari, with no luck.
  7. Do subscribers to Rod & Custom get this, or is it "extra"?
  8. You can’t do this, and I hate those who say that. We don’t need that, and you should just go. He doesn’t like that, and you should just leave. I don’t like cryptic, it’s my pet peeve. You just want attention, I know others agree And besides blah blah blah. And if you blah blah yap yap, Why don’t blah blah blah blah. So yappity yappity yappity yap. And blah blah blah your trap. Meantime, I’ll go warm up the waaambulance.
  9. Isn't that the show with Miss Piggy? I heard that George Lopez has the hots for her.
  10. There's a rumor going around to that effect. U have proof?
  11. I presume American Idol has something to do with tuning a Holley 4bbl?
  12. Ditto. This (person I know) entire second floor is stuffed with kits. Walls are stacked from floor to ceiling. The rest of that room is all shelves, also stacked up to the beams. Both levels of his two-car garage/barn are packed. You can park a car in each bay, but the walls are covered, except for a workbench. The staircase between the two barn floors is unpassable. In the main house, a few walls are covered. I would say about 1/3 of the open shelving in his kitchen is stuffed with Dupli-Color spray cans. His work bench is between the kitchen & living room. It too is surrounded with kits. A year ago January, I fell down his main staircase. Broke my ankle. Fortunately, his wall of kits, and boxes of spare parts prevented me from slamming into the wall. I remember picking up wheels and other parts off of myself, and the floor. I would say the house contains between 7000 to 10,000 kits. Now THAT'S a hoarder.
  13. Body retrieval is now done via Blackhawk chopper.
  14. I'm curious... did anyone read Harry's last post?
  15. Not only was I a hoarder, but now I'm stuck with it. Because, ya'know, I just might need that one. And THAT one. And so on. So now half of my basement is jammed with model kits. What I don't have shelves for, they stay in storage boxes. So much shelfing hidden behind boxes... I cannot photograph it all.
  16. I luv this place! Y'all put the FUN in dysfunctional.
  17. Hey, Darin is right! I mean, I got ticked @ Ken, who in turn shot back at me. That's cool! I don't mind. I hope he doesn't either. I mean, that's life. Some good; some not so good. Like Ebony & Ivory... Living in total harmony. Ebony & Ivory....
  18. I have heard stories of cats trashing a hobby bench... yours is the first story of feline good deed!
  19. Nice build! Love the color... not expected on a Carrera GT. Good to see someone from Vermont on this board. I'll have to Mapquest your town. They made the models proportions a bit too long tho....
  20. Boy that is 100% awesome! I was given that same cab to build a ramp. Not likely to happen, but at least we have that one you built. Nice!
  21. NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... throw away model parts! It goes against the model builders code. I have it written down here... somewhere... maybe under this pile? I dunno. It's somewhere around here.
  22. I wish we had partied together back in my wild youth! Wait... maybe we did? Who knows... so many blurs.
