And dang it, they're always in the last place you look.

I'm always amused...

Light rain tonight, temps in the low 60s (F). Forecast severe t-storms tomorrow with high winds. Wouldn't be a worry if half my roof wasn't tarped now, and lotsa dead trees on the property. Fingers crossed this won't happen...

Perseverance means trying harder (OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!) if things don't turn out perfectly with zero effort.

Same old same old stuff that irks me daily, cleaning up messes made by people who go through life blithely ruining everything they touch, with zero remorse or accountability.

July, you're a woman, more than anyone I've ever known.

Nize indeed. I'd rather save a sad old model than build a new one.

Way to go, Superflyboy.

Hurt feelings are the stock-in-trade of much of the world now.

"FREE LUNCH only $15.95" said the sign in front of Joe's Home Cookin'

USA too. We've become a "service industry" economy, with very few natives who can build or repair anything whatsoever that requires physical skill...and making a meal and driving a stickshift vehicle are largely lost arts. The saddest thing is that most of the inhabitants are just fine with that.

Also look at Tamiya rattlecan military colors. Though they're flat, you can shoot 'em with gloss clear.

Danbury diecasts are high-quality, and that one is complete with all the packaging. As far as worth goes, think how much work would go into building that nice a model yourself. EDIT: I just looked on eBay, and auction prices start at $20 to $265. Buy-it-now prices range from about $150 to $300 for complete, boxed versions, including shipping.

Over here we don't make no dang car parts outta seagulls and fudge.

Norton antivirus scam, running ad headers on email servers that allow them, screaming "YOUR ANTIVIRUS HAS EXPIRED!!!!", even if you don't run their bloated garbage.

Correct answers don't always satisfy argumentative types who just HAVE to keep running their mouths, whether they have any hope of accomplishing anything or not.

I have a can of no-name el cheapo spray that's close to that...dollar store closeout stuff, but it works fine on plastic if it's prepped right. Pastels like that were popular in the '50s, so you could probably find something close searching paint chips online. For what it's worth, the bedside on that thing looks to be a slightly different green than the cab anyway. Good luck. EDIT: Also for what it's worth, a truck painted that color at one plant may not be exactly the same color as one painted at another plant. Those of us in the body biz have to deal with "variants" constantly.

I don't think anyone there could find their -------- with both hands. They are also intentionally interfering with streaming of some sites, throttling users when they claim otherwise, and there's a mega-mega-dollar lawsuit cooking as the proof is well established and documented at this point. It's kinda funny how the "big tech" players seem to think they can get away with anything because they believe they're all SO much smarter than what they see as the uneducated plebes who use their services. They're about to get some reality checks.

Day after day, it's just one dang thing after another...

Far as I can recall, I've never seen one of those kits with an engine. If you have one I'm in serious envy.

Nah. Dog freaked out.
