  1. "As Delivered" has never occurred to me. Very clever Sir.
  2. So sorry to hear. As for family? That is downright despicable.
  3. What irked me 2 minutes ago was seeing how many talented and famous people have passed away over the last couple of weeks. Geez..
  4. Great job. I built one and it was a lot of fun.
  5. That is a little slice of Moonshine heaven right there. Just outstanding.
  6. Super Save! Looked like it was dipped in a Care Bear for pete's sake!
  7. Soundgarden is one of my top five bands all time. Chris' voice is the voice of his generation. It just happens to be my generation. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding what happened I am just flat out bummed. My brother Scott texted me "A great light has gone out..." Godspeed CC... Cranking "Louder Than Love" in the car.
  8. Heck yeah! Having a space like this is such a big deal. Good on ya..
  9. THIS is the first time I've experienced model overload! WOW.
  10. Love this Riv.....

    Sinister.
  12. If it comes with the figure I'm in...
  13. Bill's right. I'll wager The Snake wouldn't be able to tell either.
  14. So worth the time to put together. These kits are just superb when a Talented builder like yourself sees it through. Outstanding color choice and execution.
  15. What an achievement Briz. Just stunning. Those cars are going to look Fantastico.
  16. If you have a NAPA anywhere near you that mixes paint they will hand you some. At least that's what I do at my store. If I'm asked I'll hand some over the counter for the price of a smile.
  17. Our pleasure distinctly Amy. Your Fathers need to make things right is one of his defining characteristics here. He was of the mindset of "Why settle for OK when Great is just around the bend". If you've looked at all here then you've seen this in action. Simple things like braking systems turn into major overhauls as he sought to right the wrongs in every kit he built. hard tops to soft tops he made them all seem so plausible. In the end Harry is/was a builders builder. Never totally satisfied, and always looking to get better with the next build, A man I always respected, and always looked to for guidance.
  18. I will speak plainly. While Harry collected a great deal of die cast. And he enjoyed them like a great many here do to this moment. I will say this. There is interest to be sure, but most of us are interested in what Harry crafted. Built by his own hands. Those are the things that he/we treasured most. I for one care only for what Harry touched and crafted with his own hands. If Harry made it, it is FAR more valuable to me and everyone here than something he bought to please himself and had no other way of acquiring. Harry crafted items of beauty. I craft items I hope will be considered beautiful within my time or beyond. It was your Fathers ability to make something from seemingly nothing that made him the great builder he was. He turned average kits into art on a regular basis. It became sort of "Routine" to see Harry do a WIP [Work In Progress] and turn out what anyone would call a lost cause into a sensation. He did this with casual aplomb I must add. Calling Harry a model builder is like calling the Sistene Chapel a building. It cannot amply describe what has taken place.
  19. You must have watched some SJW video.
  20. I remember those as being potent little rockets back in the day. Not a bad representation. On my next build I'd smooth out a few of the parting lines a bit more. It really helps the overall build.
  21. Rick, do I see your physical address in your location? You may want to rethink that buddy.
