This is looking good! I tried this kit as my first ship model, but failed it...... It did prepare me for my second attempt at a ship, the Captain Kidd ship from Lindberg, which I was able to finish (after about a year working on it)........ Taking a break is good sometimes, gives you a fresh perspective when you go back to it!

More kits are sold by their box art than by the contents of that box, I would wager..........

That Impala is a really good kit! If it's cool, I'll show you the one I built. If you redo that one, you'll HAVE to re-use those billet wheels! They just look right on it............ -

BMW Outlaws and Hot Rods
JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yea, they started to lose certain aesthetics around the e46 or so. That, and they started to put too many gadgets on their cars! Who needs variable-ratio electronically assisted power steering? or for the rear headrests to lower when you go into reverse? -

I'm packing some things up and purging things that I don't need, so when it's time to move it will be a more streamlined process........ I just want someone to enjoy them is all........ -

JollySipper replied to Tim W. SoCal's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I've seen the snake on three different occasions now, if it's the same one....... There is a small tree with a Mocking Bird nest in it right in front of my apartment. I'm pretty sure he's trying to get to that. Those tenacious little birds won't let it get close at all, though! It may also smell my little hammy friend, where I throw out his extra food for the birds to have..... -

Michelle, you probably don't listen to much 'Beastie Boys', but they mention Spock in the song "Intergalactic", talking about a pinch in the neck from Mr. Spock! Cool build.............
