Kris Morgan makes 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder varieties.

Yup, my copy will be here today. I have ordered stuff from them several times. They are great! They are also on "my" coast, so the shipping times are short.

Seems to be their M.O. I remember the same thing years ago when I was a subscriber. Constant e-mails wanting me to renew, buy more magazines, "specials" for my birthday, etc. I am pretty sure that I was able to change my e-mail preferences and turn most or all of them off by unsubscribing.

Yeah, we were expecting snow that weekend when I visited my friend in the Sierras for a long Thanksgiving weekend. Was in 4wd and the hubs were locked when I parked it. Four days later and 40+ inches of snow, I had to dig my way to the driver's door, get in and drive out of the bank to finish clearing it off enough to hit the highway. Yes, I know that people in North Dakota are laughing at this tiny bit of snow, but I had great fun riding my snowmobile that weekend.

pity those remarks

I don't recall The Beach Boys song, "L'il Model A"....... Esthetics aside, I think that the Deuce was probably a better platform to build one from.

I have a copy coming in the mail from a "not so L" HS in SoCal that I get stuff from once in a while. Looking forward to seeing it.

An AT&T rep told me 10-15 years ago that I should ask the first Human I contacted to connect me with a "cowboy". I am sure that I gave him a funny look ( this was in an aisle at Best Buy as I was buying a replacement modem) as I asked him, "Is that so they won't connect me with an Indian?" He just smiled...... That seemed to be their "code" for insiders to get to second level support, bypassing the script readers.

They are all over the place here. They really don't "fly". They fly to roost in trees and within a couple of flaps of the wings they are on your roof, stomping around and pooping. You will never see one soaring like other large birds.

This is exactly my experience using it for what it is intended for (floor finish). I am unimpressed with it enough for that use that I am hesitant to use it on a model. It's on a sealed ceramic tile floor in the small wet area (toilet and shower) of the master bath. No real foot traffic in most of it because there is a bathmat in the middle. It also gets sticky when you damp mop.

Small Thanksgiving. Boneless turkey breast, stuffing from a box with chopped celery added, roasted sweet potatoes mashed with yukon golds, and an amazing brussels sprouts and butternut squash recipe that I found on the NPR website. Happy Thanksgiving to my brothers and sisters in styrene! Hope that you are all safe, warm, healthy, and have those you love around you. For those of you who live in the frigid climates, I hope that you painted enough bodies to last you through the winter model building season. Still wearing shorts and a T-shirt here. I would like to do some model work this weekend, but I think that yard work will unfortunately win.

Needed some Tamiya paint this afternoon, so I headed to the LHS. Magically, one of the employees acknowledged me and engaged me in conversation. I told him that I had what I needed, but asked if he knew that MCM was alive again and if they would be carrying it. Nope. He told me that they used to carry all the magazines (lie, unless he was talking about 18 or more years ago) and they didn't sell. They would order a minimum six copies and they wouldn't sell any of them (lie?). Many years ago I would see some RC mags in the very back of their old location. Nobody would see them unless they were using the restroom. Never saw MCM or SA(E) in this store ever.

spent on kits

There is decal coating spray, but I have had good luck with regular clear flat Krylon. I use the Testors paper from my LHS. I am by no means a "power" decal maker. It's typically just underhood decals and small stuff like that.

fresh or frozen?

You Canadians all have a warped sense of humour! Give us a review on the Tamiya LP paint when you have had a chance to use them.

Hahaha! My ex-neighbors (moved pre-Covid) had a bottle of the same hand sanitizer in their guest bathroom. It was on a shelf over the toilet, right at eye level if you were a guy, if you get my drift. Oh, and nice model as well.

Agreed. Five is the perfect age to teach kids about boundaries and respect. "These are Uncle Ron's toys and you have to ask before you touch them."

Does your HL allow discounts on airbrushes? The ones around here have the "your price" stickers on them and the coupon does not apply.

No, just pulling your leg. We all appreciate your volunteer service here!

You never heard of cosign? One of these is the sign, the other is a cosign.

I received a Jimmy Flintstone 72 Pontiac Ventura trans kit for the AMT 72 Nova. It's a very nice, thin casting. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet, but I have a couple of ideas. Think it may wind up somewhere between a "what-if" and kind of restomodded.
