There is a block sender function. The issue is scammers/spammers change their email address daily, sometimes more than once a day. They add a character or number and now the addy you blocked is different. I have had my 'Hotmail' addy since early 1990's so I get on all the lists......I just do a mass delete everyday.

Lewisburg WV had new to us stuff today. Mach 5 Coke General tractor Coke 40 trailer Big Rig trailer (old IMC kit) Star Trek Reliant Kahn edition Monopoly Train engine thing Black Beauty Green Hoent (at first I thought someone had screwed up....but it was the 1/32 kit) Store worker commented that they had TONS of toys to unbox and there may be kits in that. They had a new table set up for kit....it was only 1/3 full today. I will check Monday. -
WOW that is a obscure car but you did well!!!! When I was in HS the guy that lived across the street bought a new LRD II sport.....I LOVED that car. I've always wanted a model but yet to attempt!!! This is not THE car but exactly like it! Thx

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

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

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.

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!!!

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!!!!

Dave Van replied to 58 Impala's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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.
