"Linguist?" she said, "my, my, aren't you the cunning one".

"Flat...the Earth is flat" insists a certain species of reality denier.

So...does the side of the box NOT show the open door as in the image I posted above?

Concept cars usually don't make it to market in their original form.

"Sciences" of the political variety, some would argue, rank right up there with astrology and alchemy in terms of accurately interpreting reality.

To the best of my remembry, both those kits are the "opening door" versions of the '55 by Revell, so the instructions from one should work for the other. Accuracy is inconsistent.

Roof prices are through the roof too.

"Similar" and "identical" are concepts frequently confused by folks who can't appreciate nuance.

Past, present, or future, there have always been and will always be morons, more and more morons.

Others, and their opinions, beliefs, and the trends they embrace, are more important to some than thinking for themselves.

Puke-inducing designs, and proof positive that talent and self-critical judgement is wildly overrated, as argued forcefully on another thread. Criticize something built by a young guy? It's just hating on youth, according to the dweebles, not expressing distaste for an awful design that would still be exceedingly ugly no matter how old the builder was.
