Cal, it's somethin you NEVER forget! I was 12 when it happened, the Teacher EVEN KNEW who took it, an DIDN'T do ANYTHING about it! ( other than to say, "Oh, I thought it was HIS!!!") NEVER entered another contest EVER!!!!!

Welp, I voted REAL, caz to me,it seemed ANYONE anal enuff to put THAT many rivets in it WOULD FIXED the split in the wood at the rear of it! It looked like somethin that just woulda come naturally, from age or somethin. Well ya can't win 'em all, an theres always NEXT week! Good one Harry!!!

I GOTTA agree with Harry,an Cal on this one, even IF I've only entered ONE model contest in my LIFE!. The risk of haveing one damaged or destroyed, OR WORSE YET, STOLEN is TOO much of a risk! The mirror trick seems ok to veiw the underside of it, but NO, in MY opinion, should someone elses HARD work be put at risk by ANY judge who feels the need to handle it!!!

Fella's THANKS for all the kind words. But if ya think about it, I don't think it's nuthin any of YOU wouldn't have done for a forum brother either. That's just one reason why I love this place, Most of the time it IS justa bunch of guys just doin what they love, talkin models an showin off their hard work. THAT'S WHAT it's SUPPOSED to BE like. The last few weeks were kinda nutty, but that's what happens when someone looses site of WHAT this place is ALL ABOUT! We don't need no name callin, or finger pointin, we just need to enjoy ALL the hard work Gregg and Harry have put into this place to make it what it is. I appologise for ANY part I had in the rukus, and Greggs put it all behind us, so lets get back to just bein one big happy OHANA and do what we do best, Talk,and show MODELS!!! THIS PLACE ROCKS!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Charlie, you MIGHT wanna check Steve Kohler overt Star Models. He MIGHT carry one by R&R Resins. Ray pops ALOT of oddbal kits and Steve JUST might have one. It's worth a shot!

Gregg you flirt you. I bet you say that alot! Does this mean you'll be at Sylvania (Toledo) this year? I'd be GREAT ta talk with ya again! PLUS I'll keep an eye on yer stuff!

Alritey then, Mr Harry, we got us a close game runnin here! wat it gon bees like Kahuna? RoM??? Yer Doggie pack jus foamin at da chompers wit anticipation(like da ketchup!) Hit Us Harry, HIT US!!!!!!

Awww Geeeze Marcus, it was nuttin! I saw your avitar an figgered it MIGHT be an interesting build for ya. I remember them lil bugs buzzin around, saved my butt a few times. Got me an affection for 'em if ya know wat I mean!

"Luuuuke, I am your FATHAH!!!!!"

WHOA!!!! NOW THAT'S different!!!! I CAN SEE why the Treehugger likes it!!! VERY COOL build!!!!

Sam, I don't think that freedom of speech IS an issue here. I THINK that the ability to defame others that one doesn't EVEN KNOW is what's been eliminated. It IS Greggs OWN forum, to direct as HE sees fit. If in his own wisdom he choses to eliminate those who would detract from his initial concept of his own forum, then one can either respect his wishes or simply leave. NO freedoms are being trampled on. Except that of being able to defame an individual WITHOUT proof. There must come a time when one choses on his own, to comply with the rules, which are set in place for EVERYONE, or to leave the system for their own perogitives. If someone choses to leave, then that's their choice. Those that chose to comply have made their own choice also. As I stated NO freedoms are being trampled on. You either learn to get along,or just hit the road! It's a VERY simple open and closed option.

Hopefully we can get back to dealing with models and NOT have to concern ourselves with useless tirades by malcontents. If anyone hadn't noticed, ALOT of our older more established members had stopped dropping in and posting. I sure hope they see this and resume posting. I miss them. This WAS becomeing the place to AVOID for some members! Now that the hammers been dropped, those that like to critisize their fellow members can get the hint and get along, or just leave! Why folks feel the need to berate others is beyond me. Yes, I DID say how upset I was about the changes that were made, but, as was pointed out, CHANGE HAPPENS! So, I did what I had to do, I CHANGED too! Now my "Skins" allow me to be able to post properly, and I even learned how to use the chat room. I STILL am learning to move my pics from my personal files to my photobucket account, so I can post, but that'll come too. I'm just VERY happy that Gregg has, In NO uncertain terms told those that like to start trouble to "Get with it,OR LEAVE!" Now hopefully, we can get BACK to the actual reason FOR this forum, MODEL CARS!!!!! Again, THANK YOU Gregg.

Many,MANY, Thanks Big Kahuna!!!

So then WHY do we have to tolerate this hemrroid???

WOW! THAT WAS COOL! regardless of WHO invented it, it sure looks feasable today! Looks like with the right materials to make the drums,it could navigate on WATER too! Some guys are just ahead of their times! Thanks for postin this!!!
