There's some real drool inducing cars out there. That desert weather really preserved those old cars. If those cars had sat all those years here in Indiana they would be rusted down to the frame by now.

I've got my votes in. I'd be broke if they made all the models I'd love to see produced.

I was going out my front door yesterday & the wind knocked the storm door back into my elbow busting the glass & putting a long nasty gash that ended up needing 8 stitches. My arm isn't feeling to good this morning.

Got these from a trade I made today.

This is a Monogram kit. The box says 2009.

I got this from a trade here a couple years ago. A really fun build. I recommend it if you like something different.

Welcome fellow Hoosier.

Got these from a trade.

I like everything rock n roll from Elvis to Nirvana although The Beatles are #1 with me. I watched them on Ed Sullivan when they first came here & have been hooked ever since. I collect anything connected with them that I can afford. To NXR, I'm a big Electric Prunes fan. I was in a group in the mid-late 60's & we named ourselves The Hydraulic Banana as a take on the Electric Prunes.

My parents bought a new '55 Special 4 door back in late 1954. I remember my little Brother & I would lay on the back window shelf on trips. Try that now without getting into a whole lot of trouble. My Dad totaled it back in '59. Those pictures sure bring back the memories.

Kudo's to midnight prowler for a great trade.

Waking up to another day of miserable weather. Another 3-4" of snow by tomorrow on top of the foot or so already on the ground, below zero wind chills, heavy winds & now we're supposed to have a propane shortage & I heat my house with propane. I feel like I'm at the North pole instead of Northern Indiana.

The first is Barney, our 18 yr. old kitty. We got him as a very sick 2 mo. old & nursed him back to health. He's the boss over the two dogs & keeps them in line. He's my baby & I dread the thought of ever losing him. He's in very good health for 18. Next is Annabelle, our 15 yr. old basset/ beagle mix. We found her off the side of a road eating roadkill . The vet thought she was around 6 mo. old. He said she was a very sick puppy, ribs showing & full of worms. Last, but certainly not least is Carly, our newest addition. A VERY active 1 yr. old that lives for playing fetch & being loved. She was also a stray that someone dumped by our house. We live in the country & people seem to think the country is a dumping ground for unwanted pets. We've had them all fixed, so no surprises.

We've got 6" of snow on the ground as of now. Another 7 - 11' is supposed to drop by Monday morning. On top of that it's supposed to get to -16 tomorrow night & a balmy high of -7 on Monday.

No stitches for me "yet", although, mighty close. I was wearing shorts one night & dropped both the handle & blade. It went straight down & landed straight up in my right thigh, a little over an inch away from what would have been a whole lot more than pain .

I just finished a great trade with DPNM. Thanks Jim, I'd be glad to trade with you anytime.

The weather. We have around 6" of snow on the ground & with temps. nearing 40F today, It's all melting so everything is one big slushy mess to walk or drive in.

A beautiful job. I owned one of these about 15 years ago. Mine was a 1990.

In 2007 our house went into foreclosure because of major cuts to my hours at work. I was so upset I took almost everyone of my 100+ models I had built, busted them up & threw them in the trash. My Wife wasn't to happy with me since She was sure everything would work out for us & I'd regret it. She was right. My hours went back up & we didn't lose the house & I sure do regret tossing all those models.

Waking up this morning with what feels like the flu. Miserable all day. Today, being my birthday, my wife had plans for a small family get together. That's shot.

I'm head of maintenance & set up at a major Hotel.

Had a big trade with crazyjim & would trade with Him anytime.

1955 Olds 98 Starfire conv. My Mom had one in the late 50's. 1952-'54 Pontiac Chieftain 1955 Buick Special

I just got Mat Irvine's Scale car modeling the other day. Lots of good articles & lot's of pictures..

After looking at the pictures I have to agree the foil job leaves something to be desired. Pictures do seem to magnify any & all mistakes. Thanks for all the kudos & I appreciate the suggestions.
