  1. This is looking great. The fin trim feels a little aggressive at this point, but I wouldn't hold any doubts about the diamond plated, it looks good. Looking forward to more.
  2. The lovely Ms. L and I watched The Meyerowitz Stories on Netflix. Don't let the all star cast fool you. Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson and more, what could go wrong? It's almost two hours of Sandler and Stiller talking scene to scene to scene about how their misguided dad (Dustin Hoffman) has filled their lives with anxiety and empty hopes. Basically almost two hours of writer/director Noah Baumbach putting to film his therapy sessions. Over an hour in and with a long 45-minutes still left we pretty much didn't want to hear it anymore. If you love to watch great actors portray a family commiserating about their deeply seeded frustrations, this is it. By the way, the movie poster below are the action scenes.
  3. You're doing a great job on it though. This kit is more fun for thinking outside the box, like as a flying car, or chopped onto a hot rod chassis or something.
  4. By "ticket" I assume you mean moving violation. I was well into my 40's before getting my only ticket. Caught speeding while trying to catch up to my friend who I didn't know was well behind me ?. Now, how many more times have I been stopped? Four. But being a silver tongued SOB I talked my way out of them. One was for exhibition driving in a '68 Cougar, but being a radio personality at the time, I not only got out of it but the cop gave me his card and invited me to take a ride-along any time (heh).
  5. Wow, this looks really good.
  6. Favorite Hessman moment... Anybody who worked in radio in the 80s (moi) totally related to this scene because it perfectly represented the boundaries of production vs. the front office.
  7. I'm really stoked to see this thread kept alive. Subject matter isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I dig this stuff. Love what I'm seeing Jarkko.
  8. My sister was a cloistered nun who lived in a very strict and closed community committed to prayer. They were the only ones I ever saw wear the full habits. My understanding is that they are more lenient these days regarding excursions away from the cloister, but still only on special occasions. My guess is this might be one of those occasions in support of an upcoming event, or simply to resupply for the next period of time.
  9. Soooo, no temptation to add an unseen blower, fat meats and tiny-short wheelie bars? (What would squirrels do? The squirrels, Chuck!)
  10. This might very well be the most mind blowing WIP model I've ever seen. It breaks my heart to think it will get covered up with paint and mask all that innovation. ?
  11. I've been considering this kind of a project for years, so heck yeah I'm interested. I've already assembled a tear folder. It's just more involved than I want to get into at this time. Looking forward to it. Good luck.
  12. Beautiful model of a seldom seen subject. Nice work.
  13. Nice work Pat. Fun pics. I'm glad to see this done, I've had my eye on one of these for some time. Nice to see a thorough view of JF casting and what's involved to bring it completion. See you at the starting line.
  14. Decades ago my banker uncle, while at a large family gathering, was verbosely lecturing his political financial guidance to us 20-somethings before my cousin (his son) turned to my brother and just said "plastics." I about died laughing. I still laugh.
  15. Not on smart phone but on Mac laptop and Mac desktop and at different ip addresses. Twice a square ad appeared small, then on another page or a few minutes later the same ad appears wall to wall and so over sized that it's blurry. I think my browsers are updated, but I'll have to check that (Chrome and Safari).
  16. The reason I don't save them is you can't see into them and they're a little clunky. At our office, we buy roasted peanuts in the square, clear containers. I've saved a couple dozen of those in my garage and keep spares. They stack snuggly on the shelf, are easy to grab and I can see into them. Even if stripping parts I can look up the bottom to see what's going on.
  17. Whoa, super job. Looks like you got the stance right on too.
  18. You can probably open your pdf in your computers default photo viewing program. On Mac it's the Preview ap. You can then save it or export it as a jpeg.
  19. ...Or 2500s. PM me what's going on with your sci fi backgrounds. My inner replica prop nerd wants to know.
  20. I always like seeing your stuff Dominik.
  21. When I hear talk of dumpsters I get chills. Hopefully, people liquidating your estate will consider estate auctions or sales, if they appreciate money. Anytime I've attended an auction with models listed, they go in lots for nearly market value. Once an auctioneer posts a list, buyers come out of the woodwork.
  22. I'm pretty jazzed to get some door panel details today from Art Laski over at Scale Pro Shop. You can see the obvious problem with the dated interior bucket of the '61 Ranchero. I'm guessing the lack of hard edge, protruding door detail has more do with the state of molding in the early 60s than it does about anything else. Regardless, I'll build these old dinosaurs any day.
