  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. My compliments to the seller for creating desire. Nicely worded ad writing without sounding like a used car salesman.
  5. 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.
  6. I keep this in the Pbucket, just for occasions as these. Tops my A-list.
  7. Speaking of MASH? Loretta Switt.
  8. 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.
  9. I have more but this is the only one I have pics at the ready.
  10. 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.
  11. ...And how do you feel about that?
  12. 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.
  13. No, not build away... walk away. It'll still be there when you're ready.
  14. 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.
  15. If that's the blue you're looking for, Krylon has an almost dead on spray can. Krylon 51512 Blue Ocean Breeze.
  16. Non-fiction: Jon Krakaur's "Into Thin Air." Jon does a superb job of telling an a amazing story and sorting out the complexities in a clear and understandable way. Last year's movie "Everest" is based on the same story, but a movie simply can't help the viewer keep track of what's happening to each player in the story or relate the significance of their actions.
  17. It's the less droopy-pants version of... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHtslee38bI
  18. So DIESELPUNK. I've got to give one of these a try and see if I can make it as good as yours. Very exciting.
  19. WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE DECALS.
  20. One disappointment. The lower front valance is molded to the chassis. When all the pin holes are lined up and the chassis is in place, it appears the valance sticks out too far and creates a gap. Likewise, it appears to sick out the front too far and misaligns the front end. The solution seems to be to cut it off and reposition it.
  21. Pics of what you get straight from the box.
