  1. EVERY time I ask a question about a wandering package I get 'Working as designed' which is the TRUTH!!!! The system is designed in a manner that package routing is a 50/50 deal and that's OK......As long as a package is moving once every 3 days.......that is viewed as a good thing. The fact it may go in a circle......well it is keeping the work force active.....and after all that is the goal....no idle hands.......working right or wrong. I theory with the vast majority of packages having the BIG barcode at the bottom of the label, mis routing should be around 0.01%.......but by the number of people here that report packages going on LONG vacations in seems more like 40% of packages make on wrong turn or at least stall for days. My most recent was a package shipped FROM West Virginia, then VA, next to PA then to NC, off to SC to Six Mile Creek were it sat for 3 days before heading back to me in West Virginia. NO way this was working as designed for a systems whos goal is accurate fast delivery........but is for a system that just wants all hands busy. Thanks
  2. Lots of cool stuff!!! I did the Spring and Fall show every year from the start to 2002 when I lived in Mint Hill. I won Best AMC daily driver one year for my Javelin. . I miss the shows but thanks for sharing.
  3. I rode WM #6 to the town of Spruce.....a rare treat!!!. Thanks
  4. I was at Cass West Virginia SAT helping run a Girl Scout event. When I saw Western Maryland #6 coming I grabbed my phone. I do not film on my phone.....but I did not bring my camera.....so a bit crude. But the worlds largest Shay in action!!! Thanks
  5. It looks like, with mods, I can make a 'Charlie the lonesome cougar' Ford P/U!! Talk obscure!!
  6. Very well done!!!! I like the 1/20 F1 kits. I have that kit...need to build!!!
  7. I'd like to see the Long Nose Mustang F/C someday........
  8. OK....I don't get the motive for these spam attacks other than ego. Posting a bunch of phone numbers over and over??? I don't see a profit model, I don't see virus' or malware in posting phone numbers?? So other than attacking a small forum of a small hobby for kicks......I do not get it??? Anyone know the why??? Maybe time to change the way we screen new members.
  9. A positive force here on the forum. GOD bless you and yours
  10. Very well done!!!! Those old PYRO kits are kinda cool!!! And while I bought two of these I really want another one in this same series......Stage Ghost!!
  11. The roof of Sidewinder is NOT molded to the body. The windshield is what is missing from Sidewinder.....maybe Atlantis has it.......be a cool bonus part!!!
  12. Must have flown under my radar!!! We were a VERY NASCAR hobby shop in Charlotte but did carry all kinds of kits. Thx
  13. Cool!! I do not recall that kit and I ran a hobby shop in 1988!!
  14. My Tamiya Lancia came Monday morning @ 0900. I placed the order late Monday 7 days earlier. That's fine to me........It ain't my MEDS!!!!
  15. I used them 30 years ago. I may be dreaming.....but it seems there was a health rick breathing them. Maybe they are not made any longer. At any rate baby powder works almost the same......with a slight weight dis-advantage only.
  16. Super clean, great color!!!!!
  17. I'd had my drivers license for a number of years.......so that makes me old!
  18. VERY WELL DONE!!!!! I love movie cars too...............................
  19. Neat, clean work!!! Happy to see you have the decals I designed for Gofer !!!!! I'll be watching
  20. Ordered 8/21 and says it will be here Monday. 7 days ordered to delivery is plenty acceptable to me. I will admit there are faster Co out there. Kentucky Mustang from order to arrive is often 3 days.....nice....but the 7 still OK
  21. Current order placed 08/21/23 around 13:00 shipped today 8/24/23.......not to bad IMHO. Just a FYI My order at Speedway Motors I placed today at 15:00 shipped 2 hours later. So it varies greatly by company!!!!
  22. Thanks guys.....I must have been thinking in 1/25 scale!
  23. I bought a mint sealed kit 10 years ago for $20. I have never opened it!!! Thanks for showing your build.......
  24. Nothing blows me away.......may need one of these.........Has the R roll pan been in a RM kit before???
