i always enjoyed thier "mather of fact-ness" when setting up a joke...like this one VYVYAN: Yeah, my potion! My potion as well! NEIL: What potion? VYVYAN: It's a potion I've invented where when the patient drinks it he turns into an axe-wielding, homicidal maniac! It's basically a cure. For not being an axe-wielding, homicidal maniac. The potential market's enormous! NEIL: [taking a Coca-Cola can out of the fridge] What, is this it? VYVYAN: Yeah! Yeah, I put it in a Coke can so nobody'd drink it by mistake. NEIL: [placing can atop the refrigerator] You know, I just bet a bit later on somebody does drink that and turns into an axe-wielding, homicidal maniac! on a side note, i was watching an episode of the young ones the other day and who did i see but doctor house anyone else notice him aswell ?

ours only has the oldsmobile, a 53 ford pickup, a mustang, viper, enzo and a belle air needless to say, all i picked up was the mudstank i might build it or trade it out.

not sure how to tell you this...but i think your tags might be expired nice job your thinking if the motorcity madman, Ted Nudgent now there is someone who should run for president

doubtfull anyone here knows the young ones but this is from thier eppisode "cash" Neil - "Right, now here it is, now eat it up quickly, okay?" Mike - "What's this?" Neil - "Uh...It's risotto, Mike" VYVYAN: It's snow, isn't it, Neil. Neil - "No, it's probably just gone cold, Vyv" Vyvyan - "Neil, this is snow!" Neil - "No, it's risotto, Vyv!" Vyvyan - "Look, I know snow when I see it! I should do, it's all I've had to eat for the past three days." Neil - "Well, it's very nourishing, Vyvyan." Vyvyan - "Snow, snow, bloody snow! I hate the bloody sight of it" Mike - (reaching for Vyvans plate) you dont want yours then Vyv? Vyvyan - ah, ah, ah, i didnt say that now did i Mike? here is the clip on youtube

put the whole family to bed early last night to give myself some qaulity modeling time got quite a bit done on this one an a chebby i was working on (if someone from the marina call complaining about a boat drifting aimlessly im not in) thanks to several members on this forum i almost have a complete kit again and i actually managed to take a few mock up shots with the wheels under it (dont worry about the saggy front end, its just a mock up)

allison V12

so im watching this episode where they all go camping ALF sneaks out and wonders into this cabin two rednecks come in and find him and so he pretends to be an anteater well' they're still fixing to kill him so one of em walks out the room to go get the salad ready ALF reasons with the other guy and when the first guy comes back the other ones rats ALF out and says "he's a talking anteater but i wouldnt listen to a word he says, hes sneaky i think he's from the city" the first guy just looks at him and says "we need to get you a woman"

married with childred is also great...but not something id sit down and watch mith my son there sure were some great qoutes in that show though one of my favorites is when Al is looking for a new alternator for his dodge (phone menu) if your car is swedish...press 1 if your car is japanese...press 2 If your car is japanese but made in america in a patronizing attempt to pretend we have a viable automobile industry...press .

i like background noise when i model and i actually got some time to model today (boy i hate BMF) anywho, i was killing some time on the web when i found a place that played old TV shows and i must have watched half of the first season of "alf" today i miss the days when TV was still good clean fun (assuming there wasn't a hidden meaning behind alf's favorite snack)

i tought those type of cars only came in blue? looking great is it a curbsite ?

looks like your off to a good start but you forgot to paint the engine bay (mopars were the only ones with enough class to paint the engine bay body colour instead of just painbombing it black)

thanks for the offer Jason but Sstacey47 came through with them i actually found them in the mail today as for the blower hat, im an idiot it didnt call for one (even though HALF of one was included in the kit) either way, i killed the valvebody trying to jimmyrig one from a different kit onto it....no wonder the body wouldnt fit good thing Stacy send me the valve body aswell

you'll know the difference once you try to eat the glue great progress on the mill you mentioned you never build a car kit before, what have you dabbled in, tanks?

that sounds like a great way to bond i cant wait for my boy to be old enough to build models...so far the only thing we build together is made out off gingerbread

i really did like the blower hat i had on it now i had to steal one from a different build i was working on...not to happy about that, specially since that means i have to alclad this one to match thanks for the comments on the body, that did come out pretty close to what i had in mind im curious to see how it comes out once its clear coated

making some good progress in case you havent figured out the hood hinge, have a looksee at what i did here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=search&section=search&do=search&fromsearch=1 i had made a tutorial for it but that seems to have disapeared when we moved to the new format

AAARGH DISASTER STRIKES remember where i said the blower was build up out of different parts? (see, i said it right there) well, one of those parts that came from the partsbox was the blower hat, a nice wide model with 3 butterfly valves in it i guess i never gave it much thought but when i went to test fit it today (after mounting the engine in the frame) i found out the blower hat is too wide and doesnt fit n the firewall (scrollback up to the second picture and you'll see where it should sit, dead center of the front windshield) so now i need to hunt down another blower hat and alclad that one to match what a pain

looking good man will you be tuning down the shine on those rollers a bit ? here is my take on the kit, just to keep the juices flowing

if you want to know what im really good at you should ask my wife

i also took a few minutes to ad a little character to the bodywork i used a brush to put down the silver dots and then used a fine sharpie to put a crecent shape underneath to make it pop it is far from perfect and the rivits are different in size and spacing but its the best i could do speaking of best, i love this section right here (reminds me of the terminator minus the accent)

got a little bit of work done on the duster i wasnt too pleased with the chroming on all of it so here are a few parts ready for allclad (allready in the shiny black paint) and here they are in nice shiny allclad (i really like this shot of the exhaust, i took the time to drill them out and they look way better that way IMHO) and you cant tell it in this shot but this blower is made up out off parts from 3 different kits (looked pretty cool after i stripped the paint, kinda like a VW harlequen)

im pretty sure i got the belt set, if you want to cast it that is from the 340 with the shortened viper style intake right? and are you selling the rims or are they just for private use ?

thats where im at with the wife

looking good you just dont see enough of these models anymore if i may offer a suggestion, you know the tape you use to join 2 sheets of drywall before you plaster them ? that makes way better safetynet then that plastic ones provided in the kit

probably because it has been posted a half a dozen times before
