  1. A new hobby shop has opened in Warsaw, In. only 10 miles from me. It's called Awesome Hobbies & has new, old & rare models & lots of paint. I've had to either order off the internet or drive 40 miles to Ft. Wayne. Now there's one close by He's going to get plenty of business from me.
  2. Insanity is right. At least the ironworkers got a paycheck for being up there. Some fresh bird sh#t on one of those rails He's hanging on to by one hand & down he'll go.
  3. I'd be concerned a heavy gust of wind might hit while I'm up there.
  4. A gorgeous, sunny 83 degrees.
  5. Anyone care to take a seat next to these guys?
  6. Got this 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix friction model as a trade for some hot wheels cars. It needs a rear bumper & a steering wheel.
  7. I'm looking to buy a 1966 Chevelle diecast. Ertl's seem to be a quality, but pricey one. I don't know anything about Classic metal works other than they look good in pictures & they're not as expensive. Are they as high grade as Ertl or Danbury mint or a cheapy like Maisto?
  8. I love the old American iron. 1. 1955-56 Mercury Monterey 2. 1955 Olds. 98 starfire conv. My Mom had one in the late 50's 3. 1963 Olds. 88 conv. My first car was one of these 4. 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix conv. 5. 1966 Toronado
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. Now I know. Thanks for the info. I've had this model laying around for around 15 years & finally decided to build it.
  13. 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.
  14. Lots of goodies from Scalehobbyist.
  15. These extra parts came with the model & nowhere in the instructions does it show them. Anybody know what these are for?
  16. Heres a couple of odd ones I saw in a local junkyard
  17. 5:00 Am & were still here. Looks like I'll get to finish the '50 Olds after all.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. I live outside a tiny little town in Kosciuko county about 40 miles west of Ft. Wayne.
