Aside rhymes with snide, which I thought of when I read "mean and nasty".

"Park anywhere" seems to be the SOP of a particular breed of entitled driver...or maybe they just don't understand what all those confusing lines everywhere mean.

AMT '37 chevy headers
Ace-Garageguy replied to Mattblack's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Frankly, I just can't understand how anyone anywhere anytime can justify making a mess like that. Yeah, I'm well aware bought headers often have fit issues. I've been building cars for over 5 decades, and I've never let a car leave with even dimpled primaries. And I'll fix interference issues for free if the client can't afford it, because I'll never be associated with mangled hacking messes. But, you know, that's just me. And I'm so very very glad I'm wired like that. Rant over. EDIT: Probably the same guy, after "learning to weld and doing it right". -
AMT '37 chevy headers
Ace-Garageguy replied to Mattblack's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Ummmmmm...no. Though I really do love seeing quality work like that performed by highly skilled craftsmen, obviously master car builders. I must be doing it wrong. EDIT: I found the thread that photo came from, and apparently the guy actually thinks he did good...and a buncha other clowns defend him. Anyone who'd post that on the web and be proud of it, and folks who'd defend him...well, kinda self explanatory. -
Strong opinions that have no basis in fact are rampant.

Went to the antique mall looking for new HO train scores, happened across a sealed-inside recent issue of this, and couldn't resist the low low low low price. This is really one of my favorite kits...and trucks...but I only had one cherry and a bunch of gloobombs. Same seller had a really good price on this too, completely sealed, and though I already had one just because every car modeler needs an Edsel, I'd kinda wanted another one to do a drag car. Funny...all the other kits he had were stupid-overpriced, including several brush-painted "starteds" missing half the parts. I woulda saved 'em if they'd been cheap...
