Looks nice... but why are the door handles and locks body color???

"Make milk drinking fun." Hilarious!

Call me old school, but to me that "thing" on the left is not a violin. However, that one on the right is beautiful!

That's a really cool kit, I have it, too... halfway built (mine will be a "rat bug"). I like where you're going with yours!

Lots of talent there between you and your wife!

Ok, last one... A guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender if they have any specials. "We sure do!," replies the bartender. We just started serving a new drink that was invented by a regular here who's a gynecologist. It's a mixture of Pabst beer and Smirnoff vodka." "Good God!," replied the guy. "That sounds terrible! What is it called?" "A Pabst Smir."

A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says to him, "You know, we serve a cocktail here named after you." "Really?," asks the grasshopper in surprise. "You serve a cocktail named Stan?"

A neutron walks into a bar and orders a beer. After he finishes it, he asks the bartender for his tab. The bartender replies, "For you... no charge!"

A gorilla walks into a bar and orders a beer. After he finishes it he motions to the bartender, "What do I owe you?" The bartender answers, "That'll be seven bucks. And by the way... we hardly ever get any gorillas in the bar." The gorilla answers, "At seven bucks a beer, I can see why!"

A guy walks into a bar and orders a beer. He chugs it down quickly and orders another. Same thing... he chugs it down quickly and orders another. "Geez, buddy... what's your hurry?," asks the bartender. "Well," replies the guy, "If you only had what I have you'd drink fast, too!" "What do you have?", asks the bartender. "About 75¢."

Three vampires walk into a bar. "What'll you have, boys?," asks the bartender. "I'll have a mug of blood," says the first vampire. "Same for me," says the second vampire. "I'm trying to drop a few pounds... I'll just have a glass of plasma." "Ok," replies the bartender. "Two bloods and a blood light!"

A dumb blonde had just finished helicopter pilot lessons and was ready for her first solo flight. Her instructor stood watching proudly as the D.B. started up the helicopter and took off. After a few moments, however, the blades suddenly stopped spinning and the helicopter crashed to the ground. Horrified, the instructor ran as fast as he could to the downed copter. "What happened???!!! Are you OK?," he asked the D.B. The D.B. replied, "I'm ok. But I don't know what went wrong! Everything was going perfectly, but then I got a little cold and turned off the fan"...

A dumb blond is driving along a country road when she sees another blonde sitting in a rowboat in the middle of a wheat field. So she pulls to the side of the road and yells at the blonde in the boat, "Stupid stunts like that are what gives us blondes a bad name! Why, I'd come out there and strangle you if only I knew how to swim!"

A priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "What is this? Some kind of joke?"

A short piece of rope walks into a bar. The bartender says, "We don't serve your kind here. Get lost!" So the rope walks outside, ties himself into a knot, and roughs up both of his ends so they're all ragged looking... and walks back into the bar. "Hey!," yells the bartender... "Aren't you that piece of rope I just threw outta here a few minutes ago?" "Nope," replies the rope... "I'm a frayed knot."

You really need to start paying more attention. Let's review. One of the suggestions you made was to add several new subsections to the "On the Workbench" section, like one for Japanese care, another one for late model American cars, etc. What I wanted to do is get rid of the separate sections like Drag and NASCAR and have one "Workbench" section for all non-competition models, and one for competition (NASCAR, drag, etc.). No more "special" sections for Drag and NASCAR, they would all belong in "Competition" and not have their own separate area. What you suggested is totally opposite of what I suggested. You want to add more new sections, I want to combine and get rid of a few stray sections. And when I explained that adding more new sections won't work because too many people already ignore the sections and post wherever they feel like, you accused me of "belittling" you. Plowboy, you may also want to read this, since you are also confused, based on yor latest comment about who had what idea when. And in any case, Gregg wants to keep the separate Drag and NASCAR sections, so nothing will change anyway.

All I'll say is... if you think one of your 1/24 kits is hard to build, try a Pocher and you'll know what real frustration is like!

Gregg has told me that he wants to keep the Drag and NASCAR sections as is. So there you go. Things will stay as is.

But what I'm saying is that we already have a separate Truck section with both in progress and Under Glass sub-sections. So why would we now add trucks back into the cars section? The Truck section is the Truck section, and the Car section is the Car section. Again... I'm talking about straightening out the car section, not touching the truck section.

This is all Skip's fault. He started it!

I think that might be the cleanest dividing line: Motorsport and Non-motorsport. That pretty much covers all possibilities (or at least almost all!).

A good idea, but maybe not quite yet. I think at this point it's still a bit "out there" to the average forum member.

Well, obviously you like the drag section, "1320wayne"... Nobody is blaming anyone for anything. The categories existed before I came along, I just have to wonder why? My point is, why are we giving only two types of models (drag and NASCAR) "special treatment?" What about all the rest? As much as you personally like the fact that there's a drag section because you like drag models, what about the guys who prefer rat rods? Or customs? Or lowriders? If your specific area of interest gets a special section, well, that's great for you. What about everyone else? Or do only the drag and NASCAR guys "deserve" their own special section?

As painfully obvious as that is, you would be amazed (but then again, maybe not) at how many people have no idea what "1/24 scale" or "1/8" scale or "1/12 scale" means.

I like it!
