Daily routines are things that need to be done everyday.

Tense situations can often be diffused by humor.

Bingo . This is why magazines can afford to sell super cheap subscriptions if they have a big enough circulation they can get big advertisers.

I'm not surprised that HOT Rod magazine a aine is going away. When Petersen sold to Source Interlink a number of years ago all of their magazines started on the death spiral. Higher prices and excessive ads killed my interest. I'm glad I had an extensive collection of paper magazines to read. I only need light to read them and I don't have to worry about charging of replacing batteries.

This scam has been around for a while. I remember reading that pictures for full size cars were being harvested and recycled to scam people. Also by giving the pictures credit to you meant you were going to get blamed for not selling the diorama.

Impressive work. Great step by step tutorial. Lots to be learned. Ultraclean work.

Ammunition for a sling shot is easy to obtain.

This should be something the insurance companies could implement. If you take the class then you would get a substantial discount on your insurance.

That seems very productive to me. Amazing work as always.

Nice. Shaping up nicely.

Great project.

Nicely done. The beauty of a classic with modern horsepower.. Great color choices.

Cool concept. Goes to show even a car as mundane as a Chevette can be cool. Nicely.

And yet another plane shedding parts. Might be time to start wearing a hard hat all the time. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/16/united-airlines-boeing-plane-loses-external-panel-in-flight

Nicely done. Great color and conception. Laser clean executution.

So Atlantis steps up to the plate and buys a treasure trove of old tooling. And in that tooling is Revell parts packs kits. Instead of yelling that from the roof tops we have a bunch of box art critics. This is the time we should be helping Atlantis promote these and the other kits they have. Has anyone thought to offer some proposals for better art work? And one final thought if Atlantis hadn't bought this tooling it probably would have been scrapped

Doubt you saw that one coming.

"Reach for the sky" was a common western saying.

In the 2024 Detroit Autorama great 8 was a white Cadillac. It did not have the same impact as this . If this was full size it would be really cool.

All this over semantics. I would say Jim Keeler is a model kit designer. Which is different than being a car designer.

Costco has had someone check your purchases for years when you leave the store. And in a lot of cases they are pushing the customers in that direction. Limited in store stock. Lock everything up and not have enough employees with keys. There are lots of advantages to fewer or limited size stores. No rents, they need less employees. More centralized inventory. The attempt to reduce the number of clerks with self checkout has not been the win the stores had hoped. Higher shrinkage do to unintended customer mistakes and intentional shrinkage by the outright thieves.

Hope you are feeling better today Carl.

Very true.

Very cool. Great design. One of the best winners in a few years.

Later is the mantra of the procrastinator.
