We have crackheads and drugies here, not many, there are only about 5,000 residents in the county. But EVERYONE has a gun, lots of dogs too. So the crackheads tend to go after businesses and commercial property knowing no one is there after hours. Two idiots broke into a quarry a few miles from my house. They stole stupid stuff like a conveyor belt motor. Then they went after copper wire......copper wire that was HOT with 220 volts. One got fried.....the other left and a few days later tried to sell the motor they stole......he must have been very sad.....NOT!

MAJOR award for getting those decals to work!!!!!! New they were a pain!

My spin: 1/48 SR-71....Wow Kit that includes a MASK???? Really?? Star Wars Razor Crest!!!!!!! One of the best SW designs in years!!! The VW vans will be on my list.......'Little Miss Sunshine'

I NEED one...................

Well done.....how does the chopper scale out????

A REAL early crush...before I knew what that was....RIP Mary Ann

I looked at those.......keep us up work progress!

I got that one.....just some detail paint........door window frames bug me

You have a nice, clean build.....good detail. I wanted a model of this car for YEARS.........then a friend of mine in NJ, about 2014, said Revell had spent the day with his friends S&H Torino......I could not believe it!!! I've built a S&H version but also a Bill Elliott NASCAR first race version! Well Done

IMHO ONLY those are not $100 kits........ Better to ask forgiveness than permission......

Botcott ALL AMT kits and you cut the kits available by about 50%...... I enjoy all kits in one way or another. I like to MAKE them look good. And I have fun. box stock other than tires.

Boils down to a persons Point Of View....... Most AMT tooling is 50 or more years old and is different than a kit tooled today. I find that almost any model can be made to look good......depends on how much work put into the kit. Two AMT kits. AMT Lil Gasser converted into a log hauler: A more stock build....same era kit ass the KW you spoke of. Peterbilt COE by AMT

COOL!!! I love movie vehicles! Is that a vac form kit or injection???

My daughter's clothes dyer that calls her and asks, once the clothes are dry, to tumble them or stop.

A little retooling and we can get this back...........I have one

I see a 'Little Miss Sunshine' VW in the works......a simple kit is perfect for the vehicle.

There was a website out there that had a story about the film being 'color corrected' and making the car on film a slightly different color than the real car was. So it depends on what you want....a model of the car as it would appear in person or on film. I built one tears ago before we had a good tunnel back Charger. I used Testors bug yellow with a little green; When R2 brought out there snap Charger I built another Dirty MAry Charger. It was painted with Tamiya light green and then yellow. It works for me.

There are lots of things I'd lay at the feet of Gates and his TECH buddies.....but not the telescope failure.....

A Laser printer can print white. The printer itself is in the thousands and the laser toner ink is $500 per cartridge.

When I did the decal art for a Model King kit to make sure no issues I made the decal 'TRUXS ADMORE' rather than 'TRUXMORE' which is a brand.....there are ways!

GREAT work....but they will require 300-400 sheets......over $2000.

My first thought when I saw it!!!!

In NOV 1988 the a moveable 300 ft telescope collapsed at the Green Bank WV facility. This was due to rust that was not taken care of. So it seems like a problem that is not a unknown issue. It was replaced with a larger telescope that is now the largest in the world moveable unit. While the loss of Arecibo is bad being built into the earth made it limited. The current 328 foot dish at Green Bank is not used full time and is actually looking for work!!! So it seems like the loss will not cripple reasearch overall. Current dish......I live not far away and have toured the facility a number of time. All vehicles used on site are Checker Marathon diesels!!!
