Hour after hour of "if it bleeds it leads" has been largely replaced with "if it whines it shines".

Hypotheses that aren't proven yet somehow get endlessly repeated as "facts" are one very seriously destructive behavior of mainstream and social media.

Doing a job poorly and thinking it's great...how is that even possible?

Kits to the left of me, kits to the right of me, I'm so confused...

"Again?" she said, "you can't be serious; that's five times today already".

"Meshoes" makes me wanna say gesundheit.

Gluebombs are my preferred starting point for building things that get heavily modified, and turning someone's bodged mess into a respectable model is immensely satisfying for some reason.

Not to take anything away from this exceptional work, but since you brought it up, Plastheniker, Codi, comp1839, StevenGuthmiller, Bill Cunningham, Chariots of Fire, and Randy Ditton come immediately to mind on this site. They work in very different styles, but nobody can deny they're all in the top tier of builders on the planet. Then of course there was Gerald Wingrove, who set the bar so high very few will ever even approach it. I'm continually inspired, and frankly awestruck, by all of them...including Scale-Master.

Very nice, very clean, great colors. Looks so good you inspired me to track one of these kits down for meself.

"Shore up a failing enterprise with empty promises, platitudes, and outright lies" seems to be an increasingly popular strategy.

ERA Cobra replicas are still among the best of the fiberglass knockoffs.

Top marks for...ummm...what was the question?

Ones and zeros have gone a long way towards replacing physical reality...particularly the zeros.

Thank you, sir. Those are certainly compelling evidence that that's the way to go...

Thanks for posting this. I have IMC and Monogram kits, but need to follow up on those others...

It Takes a Thief was one of my favorite shows when the original series aired back in the late sixties.

Yup, much as I love this old kit, the effort it takes to get that seam looking right is definitely above-and-beyond, but we have faith in you.

Just about as good as it gets...

Looking good. I particularly like the pedestrian spike atop the rad cap.

'Twere a spectacular day, so I went for a long hike. 75 F, 45% humidity, a little breezy, and a brilliant burning blue sky. Picked enough wild muscadines to make a batch of jalapeno-muscadine relish. Simple pleasures.

Lemon meringue pie would be great right now, but I just passed on key-lime until I lose a little more lard.

Growing old isn't something most young whiney-babies could handle gracefully.

Yes. The 1935-1940 Ford car frames (and the '41 truck) were essentially identical.

Agreed. Sure wish there was a 1/24 kit (though there may in fact be one I'm unaware of).

1945 marked the end of WW II, a fact unknown to many HS graduates.
