Are you trying to use styrene tube? You'll have much better luck with rod.

Roads can lead to interesting new places, especially if you choose the ones less traveled.

You can always make your own...

It's been said that people will race anything...

Roads through the middle of nowhere are often my preferred travel routes.

Trail your fingers in the water in the Everglades, and you just might lose a hand to an alligator.

When you buy the kit, do you get access to a downloadable recording of the fake noises it makes? Maybe a ringtone?

Exceptionally fine work, as always.

I always had a thing for tri-5 Fords, and two-tones especially. This one is exceptional.

Effects described by Dunning and Kruger have been endlessly argued, disavowed loudly by many of those who are representative of same, and have been twisted out of all recognition by "studies" attempting to reinforce negative perceptions of the hesitancy by skeptical segments of the populace to embrace questionable "science".

Achieve your fondest dreams by setting goals, and keeping your eyes on the prize.

I just ordered one of each, along with some other cool stuff before it's gone. Man, talk about a kid in a candy store...

"Polite society" was kinda what set the standards of decorum before we had "political correctness".

Got enough stuff cleared off the bench so I can see the top of it, first time in a long time. Now to put away the in-progress builds I'd left to the dust and spiders, and get some shots of the beginnings of the builds for this thread. Came across the perfect set of tires for the Peking to Paris Studebaker in the process, bought last November. Tempus fugit.

"Labouring" on Labor Day pretty much marks you as a ferriner (if somebody didn't know the location of Winnipeg).

"Retired" is what I'd intended to be at 67, but years later, I'm still working full time.

Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland has some real beauties. Check with the owner Norm to see if he might send parts to the Great Frozen North in first-class mail envelopes.

Acetate models from the 1950s or early '60s have almost all warped beyond recognition, or crumbled to dust,

End participation here I may, as it seems beyond the capability of several players to understand and employ the linguistic term "sentence", and thereby trample heedlessly on the rules of the game.

While you have a valid point, of course, digression in any human conversation is inevitable. It's also inevitable that digressions will involve closely related topics, which these are. The common thread is that, globally, we have "leadership" that's never made an honest buck by working for it, probably don't understand how electricity is generated anyway, how an ICE engine functions, or much of anything related to food production, but are intent on telling all the rest of us that we need to completely rethink our approach to transportation, turn our heat off in the winter and our AC off in the summer, and prepare to eat bugs because sheep and cows pollute too much...all in the name of "Saving the Planet". But do you really think the folks trying to shove this baloney (bug-based, of course) down our throats are going to be giving up their personal jets, limos, caviar, steaks, and 24/7 indoor climate control? Think again.
