would you believe that one i noticed is over $100? people are nuts. > would you believe that one i noticed is over $100? > people are nuts. You sound surprised. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >> would you believe that one i noticed is over $100? >> people are nuts. > >You sound surprised. > >Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. come on, you know better. when do i ever underestimate human stupidity? i actually thought the ending price would be much higher. i may get a 10 buck ebay one if no one here wants to sell theirs. rather get one i know will work, even if it's 20 bucks. mechanical sh.t on ebay is a crap shoot. I'm just jealous it isn't mine! PT Barnum was right. Rusty White > would you believe that one i noticed is over $100? > people are nuts. > I'm just jealous it isn't mine!

Who was it that said "You can't go very far wrong by under estimating human intelligence!" Bill Shuey >> I'm just jealous it isn't mine!

(no, i do not believe those stories, this was just to give the idea of how old the awareness is. thank you and have a nice whatever. ymmv.) > > I'm just jealous it isn't mine!

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Bill Shuey No but this past year they've lived up to their initials - Nothing But Crap. I'm ticked with CBS for dumping "Out of Practice". I don't think they gave it a decent chance. And I don't get "How I Met Your Mother". I guess I'm too old for that to be relevant. I can't say anything about ABC since I don't watch it. FOX is something I've been avoiding for years. UPN? Are they still on? ;) I have watched some WB shows and am feeling queasy about this shotgun marriage with UPN. Reality shows all bite. Thank heaven for VHS. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >> > > Who was it that said "You can't go very far wrong by under estimating >> > > human intelligence!"

I think that was H.L. Mencken: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." Chuck (just dropping in to see if there is any discussion of IPMS-USA Nationals running this week in Kansas City, and saw a subject line mentioning "vac" - <grin>) -- > >> > Who was it that said "You can't go very far wrong by under estimating > >> > human intelligence!" [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > -- Chuck: Vac-u-forms are a sort of O.C.D. I find that if I build a vac-u-form of an aircraft, someone is sure to release an injected kit of the subject. I had Falcon's Hawker Seahawk to the decaling stage and WHAM! Here comes Classic Airframes with not one but two injected kits. Same thing happened with an Aero-club Gloster Meteor Mk.8. Never fails! I find that cutting and sanding the parts out of the sheets is a very messy procedure so I save my vac-u-forms for this hot summer weather and do that part of the work out in the back yard on a picnic table. Current project is a 1/24 scale Pfalz D.3 from Marco's Miniatures. I have a thing about World War I aircraft and Marco's big kits hit me right where I am weakest. Beautiful engineering and decals and resin. I'll bet no one is going to release a 1/24 scale injected Pfalz when I get this one done though! :-) Stay Cool! Bill Shuey Well damn Bill, get hopping on that Wings 48 XF-90 you bought from me at Region II 2004............;) > Vac-u-forms are a sort of O.C.D.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Stay Cool! > Bill Shuey >Well damn Bill, get hopping on that Wings 48 XF-90 you bought from me at >Region II 2004............;) But.. but... if he does that, then someone else will come out with an injected kit for the F-90! That's another of our most popular kits, I'd rather not have the competition, if you don't mind! *grin* Chuck -- Don's Model Works www.donsmodelworks.com See our online catalog with photos and info on: - all Wings Models kits (including Eagles Talon kits) - all Wings Models decals (now available individually) - over 250+ rare and hard-to-find model kits, including foreign and out-of-production kits.

Of course I should be happy when you *buy* one of our kits for your stash, but I guess I should not be so happy when you actually *build* one of our kits, because then someone else will bring out an injected kit of the same aircraft, right? OK, Bill, just put those Wings Models kits back in the closet, please! *grin* Chuck -- Don's Model Works www.donsmodelworks.com See our online catalog with photos and info on: - all Wings Models kits (including Eagles Talon kits) - all Wings Models decals (now available individually) - over 250+ rare and hard-to-find model kits, including foreign and out-of-production kits.
