"Tapestry" is the Carole King album that included the song "It's Too Late", which reminds me of some of the worst days of my existence.

I have a set from the Monogram Chevy, still on the tree. They're all the same depth, but they're yours if you want them. Look for a PM

So I assume she's going to be a gun truck. Any one in particular?

Strife on a global scale may be the result if all the inept, ignorant, rebleating do-gooders who have no clue don't stop stirring pots everywhere.

Among my favorite builds are models of historic race cars. This is great.

Lotsa ways to control costs in the hobby, especially if you're not real particular about what you build. 40% off coupons, liquidation stores, and careful price comparisons online can cut kit expenditures in half. Using automotive rattlecan paints gets you a lot more material than hobby-specific paints. There's a learning curve, but the cost savings can be substantial. Airbrushing is another way to cut costs, once you get past the initial expense for the equipment. You'll use less material, and waste less. You can also decant and use "bad" rattlecan material. Buying solvent "cement" like MEK in bulk containers (if you don't live in an overprotective mommy state) can save a chunk too. EDIT: Nothing is ever going to get cheaper, so putting some thought into what you get for your money makes more sense now than ever.

Very attractive model, very clean work.

Fruition is a word that's being used frequently these idiot days in business naming, for everything from digital marketing and web developer services, bars and restaurants, to a hat shop in my neck of the woods.

"Unrealistic" goals are often the ones that, when achieved, drag humanity (kicking and screaming NOOOOOO!!!!) into a better future.

Thumbs are handy when used in concert with other digits, but when one is endowed with 10 of 'em, look out.

Thunderbird wine ranks with Mad Dog 20/20 as an American classic.

And considerably easier to make a slightly too large part smaller than the other way around...

Gorgeous model.

Got in a 5-mile hike. 93 degF, 80% humidity, brutal. I'm pretty beat right now, only slightly crippled...but in a good way.

Camelback water carriers look practical, but they also look dorky, specially to a geezer used to old military style canteens

Sometimes they come up on eBay. Otherwise, just keep checking folks like https://www.modelbuilderswh.com/collections/resin-kits

Warhorse, warhorse, wherefore art thou, warhorse?

You need some trained spiders.

Luggage to the left of me, luggage to the right of me, into the valley of luggage I rode my warhorse Hengroen.

"Brows" and "browse" are typical words that common-core "educated" students routinely get confused, along with there, their, and they're.

The up-top from this kit is always a good bet for late '50s, early '60s GM converts.

Carpet bombing is proven to be effective against run-on sentences.

Kidding around while taking fire is a way some people deal with fear.

That things will ever go back to the way they were is simply wishful thinking; incompetence on a global scale, lust for power, and greed have screwed things so badly, it's going to take a generation to get it sorted...if ever..
