    About 10 years ago before I started wearing glasses I was gluing a part & flung super glue into my eye. I had to go to my eye Dr. & He put my head in a vice like thing & scraped it out. No fun & very painful.

    A good friend of mine wants to pay me to build a Dale Earnhardt, Jr.#88 National Guard Impala & a Tony Stewart #14 Impala for him. I don't find anything in Tony Stewarts #14 & only a snap kit for the #88. He's already got the diecasts but would like to add a couple models of these. Does anyone know if either of these came as a kit & where they can be purchased? Is the #88 snap kit a very detailed kit or does it just look like a toy?

    I have four adult children & they never showed much interest growing up. My wife has no real interest other than helping me pick out body & interior colors. She likes to display my better builds in a clear case in our living room.

    Now I know. Thanks for the info. I've had this model laying around for around 15 years & finally decided to build it.

    I've been buying from them for several years & recommend them .Their prices are great, especially for paint. I've never had a problem with them & always get my order within a week.

    These extra parts came with the model & nowhere in the instructions does it show them. Anybody know what these are for?

    5:00 Am & were still here. Looks like I'll get to finish the '50 Olds after all.

    Goodbye cruel world. Less than a day to go so it looks like I'm not going to get the '50 Olds I've been working on for the past few weeks done.

    I'll be in bed by 9:00. I work at least 6 & mostly 7 days a week & have to be up by 3:45 AM & to work by 5:AM. My Wife & I haven't been out on a Friday, Saturday or week night in years because of the hours I work.

    My Mom stopped by this morning & found these at a rummage sale. $8.00 for everything. The truck, car & paint are all new & unopened. Thank you, Mom!

    We're getting our first Meijers in this area. They're building it now & It's supposed to be open by next June. I"m hoping they carry models.

    This is in the shade on my front porch. Yesterday we hit 102F. We haven't had any measurable amounts of rain at all this summer. Grass is dead, leaves are dying on the trees & the farmers crops are dying.

    I live outside a tiny little town in Kosciuko county about 40 miles west of Ft. Wayne.

    I get models once in a while at Phils hobby shop in Ft. Wayne { 45 miles east of here } & they're actually opening a third store because business is so good. It seems most posts have shops closing up. I'm hoping this is a good sign & more start opening around the country.

    The gold spot is an emblem. I'm not sure about the depression behind it. I checked The model & it doesn't have one, so I'm guessing it's a shadow or the angle I took the picture.

    The light color is Diamond Green & Mystic Emerald is the dark green. Both are Testors lacquer. My Wife picks out the colors most of the time.

    No resin. This is a plastic promo. I had to buy a resin interior for it.

    After setting in a closet for 14 years I thought it was time to put this Poncho together.
