Crowd sourcing on the Internet is the new way to get bad and incorrect information

Bad children won’t get any Christmas presents because Santa ?‍? is watching!

In theory the AMT body should just plop onto the Revell chassis but it depends on how accurate each company was! Worth a test fit for sure!

Before the explosion ?

Place yourself in the right place at the right time and you might just be successful in life!

The 68 and 69 Chevy have to be on Round 2’s list. The did the 67 so they have a good start on these variants of that tool. Both would be blockbusters!

Cool! I love seeing everyone's take on this truck. I've done two.

We have the Sleep Number mattresses too! Love being able to change the settings.

While talking about the post office, do not buy those discount stamps advertised just about everywhere. Those are Chinese counterfeits and most of them don't have the coating that the postal equipment uses to identify stamps. Thus they won't work and USPS says they'll just toss your mail away!

Great model! And here on the other side of the pond, my daughter bought a new 2012 Fiat 500. Her's is white with a beige convertible top and interior. She took care of it all these years, driving it 140,000 miles without any major issues. She now has an 8 month old daughter, and got the mom car Honda CRV. The Fiat hung around for a while, but she finally made the decision to sell it. She and her husband detailed it and managed to get $5000 for it! It was sold to an older couple. The wife had a very similar car that was recently totaled and wanted to replace it. On to a new appreciative owner!

then a shart!

Very nice in one of my favorite colors! Haven't seen you in awhile! Good to see you are back to the bench!

Watch Hill Ridge

Wow Ron! I'm very happy the whole thing worked out and nobody was injured or killed. Big thanks to the nephew who spotted it! And thank you for posting it! You may have saved another family!

Many years ago when I was still in New Jersey we had a lot of squirrels in our yard. We had all glass on the back wall of our kitchen and you could watch them run up and down the length of the fence all day long. My Aussie friends were rather spooked with the "rats" as they called them, and our nonchalant attitude towards squirrels. They estimated there were hundreds of them! Later we had a very cold winter. There was a squirrel nest way up high in a tree out back. It got so cold that they chewed their way into my attic straight through an aluminum vent! We knew they were in the attic because they'd run around over our heads all night long. I got an exterminator who came and placed a cage on the roof right above the damaged vent. He told me not to fix the hole until he got them all. He said they were naturally inquisitive and would investigate the trap. And he was right. In the course of a week we caught 6 squirrels. Then nothing. We sealed up the attic. And the spooky thing was that we didn't see any squirrels at all on the fence. Not a single one! So figure that those hundreds of squirrels were these six appearing over and over!

We had a good time. I didn’t bring any models to show but my friend Bill surprised me by putting one out on the primer table. i was a bit concerned that these two were parked outside all day! Do we have that reputation? Otherwise my crew hit the Imperial Diner as we do every show! And we had a nice relaxing day talking to folks we know. Exactly what we go to events for! i was hoping to meet Ron but the car trouble made him late.

Funny thing, I couldn’t find them locally at all! I wanted a few and finally got one to add to my postal fleet ( it’s that stamp collector thing). I could use a few more for the decal sheets to do other postal vehicles.

My wife was haunting me to get a flu and Covid shots. So I went to pharmacy on Sunday. They didn’t have the Covid shot so I just got the new enhanced flu shot for old folks. Ling story short, I got hit hard with flu and cold symptoms and haven’t felt well since. This morning I’m feeling well enough to do Thanksgiving but what a hassle!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Maybe a level switch? Per UL it should have one.

Back to my 57 Ford kick .. got these three pieces at Liars Show. I don’t know who did the resin. It’s not Modelhaus quality. I was thinking maybe All American but he sold a full kit and this is just a body as you see it. Funny thing, as we drove to the show my friend Bill and I were talking about how few kits we purchase these days. I remembered the days when I’d have bags full of stuff! Then at the show we saw a younger guy carrying a bunch of bags. Bill said, “There you are!”

We’ve gotten spoiled since most purchases show up within the week! Lest we forget the good ole days when anything mailorder was 8-12 weeks. Want those X-ray glasses advertised in the comic book? They’d show up long after you forgot you ordered them! 12 weeks was a lifetime to a young boy
