Jeff Sauber Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Nice Air bags. I bet you guys would be crashing all the time in order to cause repeated "air boob" deployment....LOL.
Greg Cullinan Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Actually, it becomes a point of pride to say that I paid $X000.00 bucks for that piece. It's an interesting psychological phenomonem. I would be proud of something I paid a gazillion bucks for....if it was worth it! I am the opposite,I take pride in saying for example.."it's worth a grand and I bought it for $700.I take pride in being thrifty
Guest Johnny Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I bet you guys would be crashing all the time in order to cause repeated "air boob" deployment....LOL. I volunteer to be the crash test dumby!
chris coller Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I am the opposite,I take pride in saying for example.."it's worth a grand and I bought it for $700.I take pride in being thrifty I have a bunch of cars I well sell you for $700 a pop. Let me know what you want.
Cornpatch Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Hey has anyone heard from Evilone-------this threads gone on long enough, he should be back by now
Aaronw Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 this thread delivers Um, shouldn't those be trains? No problemo....I just thought that with 5000 posts it was a little strange that I never saw any work from him.....I wasn't trying to throw salt in his eyes, but was just curious as to why I never saw any plastic from him. Not saying you are trying to stir something up, but since you are curious. He's not unique that way, there are actually several members who rarely or never post photos of any kind. SOme still use that film stuff and don't know how or don't want to transfer that to digital for posting, some have trouble with the whole photo hosting bit. Not saying this applies to George, but I could see some older builders feeling uncomfortable posting their builds if they feel their best work is behind them due to failing eyesight or their hands not being as steady as they used to be. Lots of reasons really, I've got 1200 posts and rarely post my work because I've really been into building non-automotive models the past two years or so, and recent posts made it clear some here don't want to see it unless it is a car of some sort. I like seeing what others are building and building models is a rather solitary hobby, this lets me see what others are up to, and I do occasionally finish something automotive related.
Jeff Sauber Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Hey has anyone heard from Evilone-------this threads gone on long enough, he should be back by now I saw him on the forum yesterday reading through this stuff, but he never commented or repsonded to any posts. Maybe he was enjoying sitting back and admiring his handy work, and having this topic go into multiple pages.....Who knows.
crazyjim Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I only keep coming back to see the pic J. Sauber posted. I should try to save just the pic on the computer.
von Zipper Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 ONE-TWO-THREE---CHA-CHA-CHA....Was'nt this post about the Evilone ?? How come it's always about George53 ?? The thread that was started 3 subjects ago did'nt have any thing to do with him posting or not posting pictures any way !!! It was about being two faced...saying one thing here and another there and he got BUSTED ! Then we wonder why MOST folks don't want a "Religion or Politics" section here, When you act like a clown ALL the time-you can't get offended when people treat you like a clown,don't make it a point every day of how smart you are and the rest of us are dummies when we seem to be able to do things you can't...OH like post pictures. I sure would'nt buy a model car magazine that didn't have any pictures in it either ! There are alot of talented people here that put alot of work in their builds, some may even make their living or part of it from the modeling business. Pay them the respect they EARNED as modelers here and every other "forum" ! If it's OK to make funny sayings and witt-a-sisms and Never put some thing on the table-don't sit and complain about how "YOUR" board is going down hill because of every one else-little known fact---I joined this board along time ago when all I could get was dial up-----NEW DSL...NEW E-mail....TA DA now I'm Zipper ! ( I had a lower membership number than 3/4 of the current members) some thing to think about.......and I build/show my models As for Evil One, If you do chiseling deeds --your a chiseler ! Give it time and try to become some other usefull tool instead.No one likes to get ripped off so don't blame them for being mad ! MOST IMPORTANT (to me any way ) NO--I'm not Lugnuts so please stop the PM's and e-mails asking me that !!! Cecil Schmaltzried

Bruno Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 To post photos of my models, I'll have to learn how to operate her camera, buy a tripod, learn to download the photos from the camera to the computer, then load them to photobucket, & then post them here. Learning how to operate a digital camera is not hard at all. You don't really have to know every functions, just the ones that work for you. A tripod is not necessary, I don't have one. It's a good thing to have but really not necessary. To load the pics on my computer, I just hook the camera in a USB port, turn on the camera and the computer does all the work by itself. Really. And then uploading pics to photobucket and post them here, again not hard at all, just takes a few minutes. I really don't have enough interest in showing photos of my builds to do all that. Judging by that super nice engine you just posted here, I have interest in seeing your pictures. Come on Mark, you can do it!
chris coller Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Mark I would absolutely love to see your builds. I know I called you out before, but alot of people come on here and just post. I want to see all the knowledge put to use. As they say pictures say a thousand words. I look at other people's work as inspiration and drive to build different and better models. So don't take this a s me taking a shot at you or anything. I just figure with thew knowledge of the hobby you must build some interesting stuff and I would love to see it as I am sure others would to!
Jeff Sauber Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Believe it or not Chris, when I'm explaining how I do something here is when I do think about posting photos, for "how to" advice. That's why whenever I do explain how I do something, I am as exact & descriptive as possible in my posts. I do understand where you're coming from there, & many times when I'm writing out how I do something, I'll think; "If I took photos this would be a whole lot easier!!" I do need to break down & get a tripod, if only so I can post how to photos. Face it Mark, your just going to have to start posting your work........theres no longer anyway out of it..............Pics or fail!!.......
Harry P. Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 So Mark... your "excuse" for not posting photos is that you don't know how to operate a camera, and you don't have a tripod??? Lame! A typical digital camera is "point and shoot"... auto focus, auto flash. You could learn to use it in about 5 minutes... at least well enough to take a few simple snapshots. You don't have to figure out all the bells and whistles. Nobody is expecting you to be Ansel Adams. No tripod? Me neither. I rest the camera on the back of a chair. Pretty simple. I don't have any sort of light setup either, so my photos aren't exactly ready for prime time, but they're good enough to get the point across. That's all you need. Don't know how to download pix out of the camera and onto your computer? Again, in 5 minutes you'd have that figured out. Most cameras you just plug into your computer, and the camera's software pretty much does the rest. Uploading to Photobucket, also easy enough that anyone can do it. There's no computer geek knowledge needed to upload photos to Photobucket... the instructions are simple and user-friendly.
george 53 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Ok, NOW someone ELSE is callin me out??? Yeesh don't you guys got enough to do? I could care less of what you think of me Cecil, but I been here LONGER than you and your remarkes AREN'T gonna make me leave, Jr. If your that good at buildin models why then don't ya just go and do it, stead of FRikin with folks your silly a$$ DON'T even know? You feel like your a real big tough guy hu? Not to me. Your just a silly little follower of some OTHER little nobody who just wants to start sh!t. I Don't understand why the level of consideration for others on this board has fallen so low lately. It's just a shame that all of Gregg's work is comin to this, This USED to be a GREAT place, now it's just gettin to be a place where people just wanna talk about OTHER people and totally forget it WAS started to be a place where we could just relax and talk about the hobby. Now it's almost like a place where little girls can come and talk trash about people they don't like, just because they don't have ANYTHING better to do. THAT'S the real shame. All this is just simple mindedness you the part of guys who have DEEPER problems,and THIS is how they feel better about themselves. I feel SORRY for you,Cecil.Your just a little follower.

von Zipper Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I was going to pick George53...But it was already taken !!!!!
Jordan White Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 To lighten up the mood a bit, this thread has gone from complaining about Evilone drawing attention to himself, to people who don't know how to use a camera. Wonder where it will go to next!
Jeff Sauber Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I was going to pick George53...But it was already taken !!!!! "Lugnuts and Zipper".........You guys sound like a tag-team duo, throwing poor old George around the ring, and clubbing him over the head with steel folding chairs..........
Jeff Sauber Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) To lighten up the mood a bit, this thread has gone from complaining about Evilone drawing attention to himself, to people who don't know how to use a camera. Wonder where it will go to next! It's a general discussion thread in disguise...We seem to have a little of everything going on here. It's a well balanced meal of entertainment......FDA approved.....LOL. Edited January 10, 2010 by J. Sauber
Jeff Sauber Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Overdue. It'll just come up again in another thread........ It's like waiting for the bus......Miss one, and another one will be along shortly thereafter.
