  1. I was so focused on the Torino that I didn't notice the focus.
  2. Another sighting, this time heading to the graveyard. I was just visiting, no intentions of staying.
  3. I first saw this coming up from behind and thought intriguing. It had been updated with oracle headlights. It ended up being in really nice looking Duster but very mild sounding.
  4. That's great news Dave.
  5. Very true, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm just happy to grab a kit at a decent price and at a physical place instead of via mail. Long gone are the days of my local mainstreet Hobby Shop...
  6. I couldn't resist, since it's only the second time I’ve seen kits in our local Walmart. I did get to talk to the manager who ordered the display case of assorted kits. He mentioned another case coming at Christmas. Apparently kits are not going to be a regularly stock item. I tried my hardest to advocate for there presence on their shelves. Hopefully someone will listen.
  7. Same here with my Squirrels.
  8. It won't be long before my little buddy Chip hibernates. He's been stocking up on nuts from the Oak and Walnut trees that back up to our property and also from the bowl of peanuts whenever outback sitting. I'm trying to get as much petting time in before he's goes on his winter vacation. 20251018_133424.mp4
  9. Two pleased moments.. Finally, after a very long hiatus, this week I'm back to fiddling with styrene at my new, temporary model bench. I have a couple of stalled projects sitting but I decided to start something else to get back into the swing of things. I'll be using a previously built not so bad gluebomb that I picked up from ebay. An AMT '61 Buick wagon which will be mated to a Model King Boss Nova wagon kit.🤞 The other moment was when I walked into our local Walmart and discovered that they had ordered in a display box of model kits and priced @ $19.97 ea. No, nothing followed me home,but that could change today when I go back today..
  10. It's not that hard to replace one. If you can solder and do simple electrical repairs It's worth the savings. I've replaced 3 here at our house in 30 years and numerous others for neighbors. Three main things to remember, turn off the breaker, and water, then drain the system. Take plenty of photos if you're unsure of anything.
  11. Recent delivery's. I took a chance bidding on a newly issued Roamin Chariot with some box damage and upon opening it, all was intact. Sometimes you get lucky. The second kit, '63 chevy 2 station wagon.
  12. Here's one you don't see unless your in a funeral procession or behind this guy. He almost got away.
