  1. I am in the same boat other than for the knee Paul...colder it gets the more pain and less i can do...TV is over rated spent months laying in a bed watching it...
  2. I like it!...not all cool models are shiny...great weathering!
  3. that is pretty cool...I like it nice work!
  4. What about those of us that have breathing problems or Heart conditions that make us lack any stamina?...I have 24/7 pain...walking,etc. aggravates the pain and heart problems most of the time...run out of breath and heart races I have a heart condition called(Tachycardia) or really rapid heart rate while resting..more activity faster it gets and chest pain follows...I have good days and bad ones...good days i wont use the spot..bad ones I have to. I use a cane 90 percent of the time depending on how far I have to go. I agree there is a lot of abuse out there..if in doubt call the police and have their card checked or ask but to pick a fight with someone that might be disabled?????...believe me here getting a permit is very hard unless your on deaths door they will only approve you for one if you qualify...for me it was my doctor decided i needed to have one so they filed the paperwork. I know a few people that if they get too worked up they will have a heart attack on the spot...does someone want to be responsible for killing someone just because they have personal doubt if someone qualifies to park??????
  5. looks good to me...I have a few movie vehicles wanting to build myself...soon as i find the base kits/parts.
  6. That is why I use cash...quick simple done. One that really ticks me is the lottery people buy scratch offs and scratch them and keep going while they make everyone else wait...sometimes repeatedly...get your tickets and move from the line a bit so others can get waited on please.
  7. Welcome Yuri...! If you love plastic your in a good place.
  8. KW mixer the 70s ERTL blue print trucks Tyrone Mallones trucks IH Travelall Garwood Garbage truck that never seen the light of day. Mod Ford race team set early 70s Chevy van(Open Road-mini motor home)..please!
  9. Mark...if the paint is fairly fresh it might come off quicker and easier...just have patients with it and it will work...its just not for resins or chromed parts.
  10. I wouldn't have that problem if i could find needed parts...LOL...
  11. Mark...get you a tupperware tub for the long brick style cheese and put brake fluid in it just enough to cover the body...wait overnight(sometimes longer. Once the paint is starting to come off GENTLY rub with the bristles of an old or new tooth brush you will never use again for yourself...be careful here...it may take awhile a little at a time so you do not break anything(chrome parts are a no no here). Repeat as necessary...once cleaned of all paint wash with warm water rubbing it down with lotion free soap...let air dry.
  12. Your a lucky man Tim....she does have the skills too. I think its great she builds!
  13. I have to admit I do think the Johan body is better to me...I do love the old box art its very nice. I even like the Johan style chassis better un less there going with a screw bottom chassis. swaped it out on my wagon conversion build to the Johan one.
  14. I need one of these for my wagon collection...when i get rich...LOL... Just cant get enough different ones...LOL...
  15. Yesterday in the mail i got a 60 Desoto from a very nice brother in plastic from Switzerland ...THANK YOU !
  16. i asked him if I needed to call them...his reply was remember there is time between you calling them and when they get here...yep he was looking to prey on someone smaller and weaker than him. Being disabled and alone at the time would have been nice to have someone there.
