1/16 scale Leopard 2A7. The newest version of Germany’s Leopard series. It is a huge model. UPS just delivered it. Mom texted to let me know she took it in the house. 👍🏻 Internet photo to help show the size of this beast. I was an M1A1 tanker. I spent four years in Germany. I got to climb around on a Leo 2A5. What a cool tank. It has a backup camera for the driver…among other things. The 2A6 got a barrel that is a meter longer than the 2A5. Higher velocity for the projectile.

What engine is in the AMT Pro Shop ‘57? I bought one for a pro street build. I could part with the kit engine. (I’m not at home to check)

When it pulled out into the sunlight, I saw that the paint was a candy. That cool car, with cream colored leather and candy burgundy paint. Wow. GM really had their act together in the mid ‘60s. 👍🏻

They look like the wheels in Fujimi’s Koenig Testarossa.

What is the value?

Another bargain 612 Scaglietti. Different box, all parts molded in white. It’s such a nice looking car 👍🏻

I wish I had something to trade. Is that company still in business? I couldn’t find it.

I’ve wanted one of these for a long time. This one is a bargain (relatively speaking). It looks like the body has been painted…unless it was molded in blue. Cool car and very hard to find model.

This is a side for Thanksgiving dinner. We’re celebrating today, because my brothers have been out of town. Cornbread with everything. It’s moist and has cheese, jalapeños, and bacon. My first time making this recipe. That little sample told me it’s everything I wanted. I tried coming up with my own recipe several times and it never worked. I finally just googled “moist cornbread with jalapeños, cheese, and bacon”. Success.

You know about the Tamiya 1/12 scale 1970s Dodge van, right? It’s an injection molded body for R/C. It would need an interior. It sits on a monster truck chassis, so you it would need street wheels and tires. A pretty cool canvas for a ‘70s custom paint job. You can find the bodies on eBay.

Had to get this version, with everything molded in white. I think it is a very nice looking car.

Wow! Thank you.

I do not have a 3D printer, I wish I knew how to do that. I have looked for custom printing but it’s all Greek to me.

I haven’t had any luck finding them. Thanks. Lee

This will be a parts donor for turning the AMT Pro Shop ‘57 Chevy into a pro street car

Thai coconut/shrimp soup. The one with lemon grass, cilantro, mushrooms, etc. the recipe is from America’s Test Kitchen and it is super simple. Theirs is with chicken. I made some last night without meat. To my surprise, Mom wanted a second bowl. (Mom lives with me). For her second bowl, she added freeze dried shrimp. Tonight I made a double batch and added shrimp. Oh my gosh this stuff is so good. I have to say that the shrimp didn’t do much for me. I could have it as a vegetarian soup no problem. You gotta try it. It is so easy to make. I like their suggestion to pour the soup through a strainer halfway through. No bits of shallot, cilantro, or lemon grass in your spoon. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/3326-thai-chicken-soup

Is that legit? Because that would be awesome on an outdoor dinner table.

Looking for one molded in white. I would like the whole kit to be the same color plastic. The one I found is molded in black. My kit will be a pro street build, so I can trade stock parts if you need them. I would like to keep the stock hood, though. I could try filling the gun sights myself and making a hole or holes in the hood for the induction system.

IMHO, Facebook is a cesspool. Its only redeeming feature the groups. I’m the admin on one. It had been a cesspool of of stupid, pointless videos and I cleaned it up. Facebook is now ruining groups with dumb posts from AI bots. As if all the other clickbait garbage and weren’t enough.

Heck of a deal on eBay.

There was an article on making your own photoetch in Fine Scale Modeler back in the 1990s. I believe it was by either Bob Steinbrunn or Paul Budzik. The subject was an instrument panel for a 1/32 P-47…IIRC. I’ll see if I can find it. Techniques have advanced in 30 years so the article may be obsolete.

I’m interested but I’m also just tired of being outraged all the time. I need to build a model. And get a dog.
