  1. I hate that trades have taken a massive hit, but I am thrilled to learn that enrollment is up. I told my son, that if he doesn't go after software, to go through a tradeschool, as 90% of the courses there, allow those who become masters in their field to charge anything they want because people will pay to stay cool, have clean water, power, cars that run, and a sewer that works! Someone posted about .. It's a 2 fix but the 1500 is because I know where to hit it with a hammer.
  2. I love the look, and the color is spot on for that look.
  3. Nice! Going clean brand new or going to do a well used version of that Garbage truck?
  4. My new role is MINE!! I got the official offer today and the what I want for wages, vs what they are offering is 1600.00, Monday I will find out if that is approved, if its not, I will still take the role because in the end its my health that improves and I come out ahead. Plus my last day in the field as a face of the job is Friday Sept 5th. I have 8 working days left in my current role which takes me to a full 14 years in that role. I am very excited for the new role and the challenges it brings!
  5. This is coming along nicely!!
  6. The first pic I saw and was like SNOW CAT!! Nice work sir!
  7. That looks great! I will have to pick up some of the retarder for my acrylics for sure!
  8. Great finds folks! And thanks for the information on the fees. And options for kits!!
  9. This is great!! SO very informative!
  10. Got the 57 out of the bath, she cleaned up pretty nicely, will have to do a bit of sanding. Should be able to put it back in primer Friday evening, and then lay the base coat Sat and top coat on Sunday. Gonna try and talk the wife into a grey interior with Purple highlights, (also gonna get some flocking for floor as well in purple if things go as planned) And got some paint on my Cannonball build, which will have the 2 pics of it atm.
  11. Exactly, and I will soon get the Manga as well because.. cars! I have quite a few more on my Amazon wishlist, so hoping things dont get all sorts of sideways.
  12. Got my 2 of my last 3 orders from Japan. The last one I have is due to hit Sept 25th, I really hope that is a very ... large guesstimate! Good part this last orders puts my Imports at 16 kits in my stash. I wish my LHS carried Initial D stuff, but they do not. I have to see what my online places carry now. I know they are niche group of kits so, that could make things harder.
  13. Welcome Patrick! Look forward to seeing your builds!
  14. Seeing all these... I may need a 2nd job or a 3rd to afford the amount of mavericks I would need! So many pieces of history!!
  15. Incredible work! I really like the weathering on it!! including the look of little road sand chips on the brush guard!
  16. No pics but got some body sanding done after primer, gonna lay down a bit more primer then shoot the hood and body. I was gonna go with a blend into the public roads, but am leaning toward a more in your face color. Should be able to get a bit more primer on, and then lay the first color Friday evening if my ducks will at least get in the same town.
  17. Not sure but I am very concerned as ordering imports is cheaper from Japan than buying in the US. I also wonder if Amazon will get slapped by the tarifs as well. I do have some stuff coming in Monday.. and then have one last kit from Japan coming in .. late Sept
  18. Welcome James! Big rigs are pretty cool man! Can't wait to see what you put together.
  19. Nice planning! This should be slick!
