Ramfins59 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Hi gang. I'm visiting my buddy, Tom Valenta, at his home in Hendersonville, NC. I've been here since the day after the NNL East show. It has been raining like hell here for a week, with another week of rainy days to come in the forecast. I picked up some cool stuff at the NNL as usual. I'll be continuing my "1958 build mission" with a '58 Oldsmobile convertible kit that I picked up from The Modelhaus. If it is possible to get in a dry day here I'll be able to prime it and maybe even paint it. It will eventually be painted Tamiya Pink, with a pink, black and white interior. The kit comes with a full continental kit so I'm thinking that another mild custom might be coming down the pike. Only a couple of '58's left to go after this one. I think that once the Olds is done I'll be jumping back a couple of years and working on some 56's. I also picked up a '56 Plymouth and a '56 DeSoto promo at the NNL. I'll have to get some resin replacement stuff from Modelhaus for them. I also have a '56 Olds and Pontiac promo, along with kits of the '56 Chevy, the Nomad, Ford Fairlane, and Chrysler, so it looks like I'll be busy with the '56 builds for the rest of the year. Well, I hope that the weather is better wherever YOU are and that you all get some good modeling done.
Bigfordguy Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Past 3 or 4 days it has been 19+ with sun nice weather for painting Edited May 6, 2013 by Bigfordguy
Craig Irwin Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 It's been dry for most of a week, the yard was FINALLY drying out, and the rain returned today. Rain is in the forecast every day for the next week. We actually had some snow furies a week and a half ago.
Joe Handley Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Beautiful! I was working though....................but at least it was for extra hours, just sucked looking out the windows and seeing how nice it was the whole day.
Deathgoblin Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Bright and sunny, was about 75 today. We're waiting on some rain.

jeffs396 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 For once Rich, the weather here is better than where you're visiting! It hasn't rained in about 5-6 days (I lost count, how often does THAT happen in the western PA/NE Ohio area? ) and they aren't predicting any for several more days!!! More than likely though, once you get back it'll rain
majel Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Had the Route 66 Fun Run car show yesterday here in Kingman, AZ and it was sunny and 85 degrees, cold front moved in so today was only 75 degrees.

espo Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Kansas City area has been mostly rain off and on. Then last week, Monday and Tuesday it was in the 70's and I'm pulling and spraying those pretty yellow flowers. Tuesday night into Wednesday rain turning to snow. Only in Kansas can you mow your yard and pull dandelions one day and scrape ice off your windshield the next.
VW Dave Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 High 70s, clear blue skies and low humidity the past few days....too nice to build models, I've been out in the Manx
Kaleb Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Depending on what day it is. No exaggeration it's the high of 75 with a chance of frostbite, expected snow with a warming trend. Lol That's what it was like here last week.
azers Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Yesterday in seattle was 85 and sunny. Today is 50 and cloudy. Oh well. Pacific northwest weather, if you dont like it wait 5 minutes it'll change.
