DRG

Got my latest order from Micro-Mark in the mail today.

Welcome aboard. There are a lot of nice guys on this forum that will be glad to offer advice and answer your questions.

Wow, i had a good day. I actually got some work done on the frame and got the first coat of paint on the body of the Willy's.

There are always new reports coming out that this or that is bad for you. While I'm not totally careless about my health I live life as best I can. Yes I love pulled pork. I have a drink every now and then. I do smoke to much. I drink to much coffee. I work on models to escape from all the doom and gloom predictions. Give me a cup of coffee, a smoke and let me build my models. Thank you very much.

those are two very nice builds.

You did a good job, looks real nice.

OK, I know it's Sunday but I haven't touch my workbench in several days. Currently working on a Willy's. Yeah I know, my workbench is rather simple, but it works for me.

I don't purchase models, paints and supplies very often. I usually go on a spending spree and get things all at once. I now have a total of 23 unbuilt kits and one B17 Bomber kit to build. I have a total of 7 models in various stages of completion and one on the bench. I have all the paints I need, all the other accessories I need. The wife got her hair done yesterday, looks good too. That deal is now complete and personally I think I made out real good on it. There is nothing else I want, well maybe that 62 Thunderbird, that 50 Texaco truck looks interesting. What kind of a deal can I make now? Hmmm! Happy Modeling.

Reading the instruction sheet is something I always do. I lay out each tree and look them over. I locate parts I'm not sure about.

Here are links to the on line people I deal with. great service, good prices. http://www.jimnohio.com/ http://www.deanshobbystop.com/home.php Forgot one. http://madmodeling.com/store/

There are those that build models. I am in that class. you can at least tell what it is supposed to be. Then there are those that build a model and it looks so real that it's hard to believe it just a model. Then there are guys like you. The models you build are so real they should start and run. The artistry and craftsmanship is so over the top it beggars description.

A supportive and understanding wife is indeed a blessing. I ordered eight kits from JimnOhio, then ordered two from Deans Hobby. My wife ask what about my Munsters Koach. What about the paint, distributors and other things you need. Go ahead and order them. I, being an obedient husband ordered two more kits from Deans, paint from JimnOhio and distributors and such from MAD.

Having been through a few in my lifetime I know the trauma that can be caused even when there are no injuries. Our prayers are with you and your townsfolk.

It has been a rather long time since I went on a spending spree buying kits, paints and other supplies. My wife has supported by purchases completely. We discuss all expenditures before they are made. We have been doing that for the 38 years we have been married. My wife agrees with and actually enjoys my hobby, though not to the extent I do. She helps with picking colors and making other suggestions, some of which I follow. I was just wondering, how many of you guys have a wife/girlfriend that supports your hobby?

I got these today from Deans Hobby.

Congratulations. My wife, Paula, and I were married 38 years this past March.

Does that model actually come with the doors and trunk opening? What about an engine compartment>

Out of curiosity I just checked Harbor Freight and they have a five tier one on sale for 21.95 normally 24.95. I just might have to try that one. http://www.harborfreight.com/5-tier-food-dehydrator-66906.html

From the looks of the model you posted you have everything you need. I have found that a good, quiet place to work, an organized workbench, all the files, knifes, glues and putty's pretty much do it. Of course then there's the drills, pin vises, dremel tool and bits.

I would sand it down in a few places and then drop it in the brake fluid for awhile.

Now here is something I had not thought about. At the rate I'm buying kits perhaps I need to look into this a little further.

The Hot Rod.

Late last week I posted a thread about my stash of 15 unbuilt,not even opened kits. I included a picture that included the 7 models in various stages of completion I already had. Since then I ordered and received two models, a 1956 Ford and the Black Widow. I just got done ordering a combination kit where I get three models, 1968 Road Runner,( I think) a 1966 Gto and a fairlane Gt. Also ordered the Munsters Koach tin. The wife told me to order whatever I want, but don't forget I will need paint and distributors and such. What have I done???

I'm not even sure that impressed describes my amazement at the recent purchase I made from Dean's Hobby Shop. I placed the order late Sunday evening. There was something wrong with the address I gave them on the order form. They called me at 8:04 A.M.Monday morning to get it straightened out. My wife called me at 2:41 P.M. on Tuesday and tols me that my order was sitting on my workbench. To me that is amazing service. Great selection of models, good prices and quick turn around. What more could you ask for. http://www.deanshobbystop.com/home.php

You will never cease to amaze me.
