  1. And the best way to take that to the next level was to make it so you could eat them. How about the Incredible Edibles? Friend had it, but nobody dared actually eat them. They still kind of smelled like the Creeple Peeple.
  2. The styling is quite striking. I love your vision and I'll have to think about that for a bit.
  3. My brother and I had this. Bake up your own vulcanized rubber Jag body using colored goop. Burn dangers, fire hazards, toxins, it was great to be a kid back then.
  4. The size of your window determines whether your pic is squished. Harry, I expect you have a pretty good screen so if you make your view window wider (full size?) it un-squishes. Small screens I'm not sure about. I can slide between squished and unsquished. Such a lovely model Steven. I hope you can bring some of your stuff to NNL North in Bloomington in two weeks. I'd like to see them.
  5. It looks good as it sits for off-tar roads, but for off-road more heigh might be helpful. If you're ambitious you could grab a Daisy Dukes Jeep CJ-5 and extend the chassis a scale 2 or 3-inches to put under your Stratos.
  6. You've mastered some techniques that have taken others a lifetime to learn. Superb! Gotta ask, how did you do the rust, hairspray technique? Doesn't look like salt or sandpaper only.
  7. Yup. I believe it. Your choices all seem probable. I like it.
  8. Off the charts! You don't find many models with this much zing! Well done my friend.
  9. A little caution about beading wire... Some are heavy on the vinyl and thin on wire and are not as obedient to the demands of modeling. If possible, make sure you grab an end you can bend and see if it holds the bend the way you expect.
  10. I've made enough road trips with the GF for dog shows it might be time for some pay back. I'd love to go.
  11. That sounds about right for the size of the window that shows, however the image that's loading into that window is much larger. I click and dragged (downloaded) a picture of the pink truck and it's 3264 x 2448 pixels. They're beautiful at that size though if we could see them that size.
  12. My compliments to the seller for creating desire. Nicely worded ad writing without sounding like a used car salesman.
  13. Afraid he's right. For the size they are being displayed, they don't need to be high resolution unless you can click on them to view larger. Since it appears we can't, they might as well be lower res to load fast.
  14. I keep this in the Pbucket, just for occasions as these. Tops my A-list.
  15. Speaking of MASH? Loretta Switt.
  16. In think PR and spin needs to be considered if the source of info is in the neighborhood of his handlers. Flu-like symptoms could mean headache, body ache, fatigue and more. Enough for agents to imply he's just under the weather, when he might actually be at odds with pain killers; too much, too little, wrong combinations with other meds, wrong conditions, etc. I rather doubt, flu was in and of itself the cause.
  17. I have more but this is the only one I have pics at the ready.
  18. Paint and body last. It's my favorite part so it keeps me stoked to push to the end when I'm starting to lose interest in the project.
  19. ...And how do you feel about that?
  20. Whoa. That's big news in these parts. An old buddy of mine was an extra (cop) in Purple Rain. Like half the Twin Cities wasn't. Guess I won't be doing doughnuts in his Paisley Park Studio parking lot any more. (Okay, I only did it once... in the winter). Anyway, that's kind of shocker.
  21. No, not build away... walk away. It'll still be there when you're ready.
  22. I think I've seen them all, including the 20/20, TV Movie, PBS Frontline, IMAX "Everest," last year's drama "Everest" and the 60-Minutes report on Beck Weathers. The documentaries all feature the only film and video from climber/filmmaker David Breashears who was nearby and caught the rescue... But I digress.
