I got mine today, the July issue in July!!! First time that's happened in 3 years. Seriously, looks like a lot of great articles and I hope this means the mag is getting on a more secure footing.
It sounds pretty exciting to me. Subject matter aside, there are a ton of possibilities for parts or whole kits. I've just started using sketchup for a kitchen remodel project and if I can do it, it's in anyone's grasp.
One of the first rules learned in photography school is pay attention to the backround. It's hard at first not to focus your attention on the subject at hand, but with practice you learn to "see" everything in the frame as the camera will (like that tree growing out of Aunt Gertrude's head). That and proper lighting will go a long way in getting better pictures.
I have to agree. Content aside, the money goes to the parent corporation. How much american content is there in a John Deere tractor or a Westinghouse refrigerator? The sad fact is not much is still manufactured in this country. We are quickly becoming a service economy that cannot compete with cheap exploited labor in Mexico, China, et al.
Very nice build Oziel (do they call you Ozzie?). Killer stance, I like the wheel/tire combo, smooth paint, good work on the decals. Welcome to the website, thanks for your service, and congratulations! (not necessarily in that order)
Also the bluegrass band "The Dillards" played 'the boys'. I have several of their albums (yes vinyl) from back in the day. I loved Denver Pyle as Briscoe Darling as he growled at Andy and Barney! "Why sheriff, I didn't know you strang!"
Excellent work on both. I feel the same way about ultra-detailing where it won't be seen, especially on stockers. Hope to see more as you get the time.
Such a great show, always with a moral at the end! Truly a great actor and producer. I saw a show a while back that said nothing got on that show that wasn't scripted/rehearsed. He was a taskmaster on the set but the end result speaks for itself. RIP Sheriff!
