  1. I've been outside with the bowl of peanuts for the last half hour plus letting Chip have at it with self-service. While he's eating, I'm going through and breaking the opened ones and feeding them to him as he comes back. He started cracking into the peanuts, only taking out one of the shells and leaving the remainder behind. I believe he's caught on and is trying to keep me busy. 20250617_194927.mp4
  2. After doing some research I found that not only was this carriage offered by a perfume company but it is also used as a cake topper. I'm not sure if both are of the same qualities but they are similar in design and appearance. The only differences I can see per photos are the cake topper doesn't have glass but does have axles. I plan on buying one of the cake toppers just to compare.
  3. When you posted this particular info about evilbay, I took off running! I scored one that is gold plated plastic with no glitter, thankfully. I'll be gather up parts and contemplating construction on this for quite some time. Thanks for the directional info.
  4. While I was out and about I spotted this very nice '68 Impala cruise by.
  5. Hey Alan, I thought I had sent you a PM but it was late at night so I may have messed up. Anyhow, I have a sealed AMT Dick Tracy '36 ford kit if you're interested? I believe it's molded in black. Mike
  6. I have a clematis that mom planted many moons ago that's still surviving. It towers 12 feet but has a lot of dead shoots that need to be removed. The only problem is that a lot of the new has attached themselves to those old dead shoots. I'm afraid of thinning it out and possibly killing it.
  7. It does have plenty of details and movable parts, such as posable steering, folding seats, opening doors, trunk and hood. Mine is molded in an ugly dark brown styrene. I kinda like what Steve Magnante did with this kit in his latest YouTube video, two hemis.
  8. This score was from an ebay auction that arrived a couple days ago. I was able to get it for a decent price, probably since it had some thick paint on its roof and hood. Nothing that can't be removed. It is complete but some of the decal sheet had been cut into and applied to the hood.
  9. I'm no AC repairman by any means but the first thing I would check is your breakerbox to see if the circuit breaker tripped off. Could also he a breaker on the inside unit also. At least my unit does.
