Model Forum / General / Models / August 2008snark
the snark's been reissued. looks like i'll be able to build all of my childhood kits again. what was your favorite childhood kit? mine was the b-17. i built at least a dozen revelle and airfix kits. they seemed pretty equal then. now i have the matchbox kit waiting and it looks a bit dated but ok.

The old tooling Revell 262. After that any of the old Revell, Lindberg, MPC (airfix) kits. I still would do them before a Tamiya or Trumpeter any day. >On Aug 26, 11:39=A0pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> the snark's been reissued. looks like i'll be able to build all of my [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >Lindberg, MPC (airfix) kits. I still would do them before a Tamiya or >Trumpeter any day. because of the price? that trumper 262 is over $100, isn't it? oops, i see it for 70-80 bucks. still too pricey for me. i like 1/32 but don't have the space. 2 engined 1/48 are my size limit.

Mainly just because I like the old kits and it's a nostalgia trip to build them, plus the Tamiyas are too easy. And yea they are expensive now. I pick up older releases of Hasegawa kits in bargain bins for under $5 and it's the exact same kit with different decals being sold new for over $30. Crazy. Same with scale. 72nd was always my fave but I used to do others once in a while, but I don't have the space anymore. I stick with 1/72 for fighters and choppers and do bombers and transports in 1/144. Except I do have some old lindy's in 48th I plan to do just because I had them when I was a kid :) >On Aug 27, 10:48=A0am, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <2dfd0836-da67-4b9b-8660-547b4bf38...@m36g2000hse.googlegroups= [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >do have some old lindy's in 48th I plan to do just because I had them >when I was a kid :) hope you share pics of your linders. i redid the ju87 glass and it looks great. want some pics in the binary group? i'm going to have to start hanging stuff. just no room at all.

I can't get binaries. I used to have a freebie access but they dropped it. Drop a few in my email? I'll be happy to share pics of my linders when I get around to building them. Things have been pretty hectic lately. The only thing I've done for weeks now is finishing the old AMT USS Akron. >On Aug 27, 2:37=A0pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <b5f2f77c-5fbe-4f1f-a6d3-e3a31e9a5...@x41g2000hsb.googlegroups= [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] >building them.

What gets me is that a year ago mine was about -180. I don't know what the hell happened. I see the doc next week, I already know he plans to up the dosage of the lipitor. I took up cooking as a 2nd hobby in the last couple years and cut out tv dinners and hardly ever eat crappy fast food, and it goes up! Plus I'm bloating like a whale. I used to walk a lot and now I have bone spurs, so the weight is going up. I'm turning into the stereotypical modeler lol >On Aug 27, 8:45=A0pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <66687c20-3b56-47ce-b2f9-c29c54e90...@a1g2000hsb.googlegroups.= [quoted text clipped - 114 lines] >bone spurs, so the weight is going up. I'm turning into the >stereotypical modeler lol there's better stuff than liptor. bust on that dr's a.s! you can do a lot about the pressure and weight. starts with the right med combo. keep on until you get the right ones. be unsterotypical and live to 100. best revenge is outliving the fools that choose to be your enemies. especially the stupid ones.

The truly rich ones must suffer from poor eyesight; they deal in 1:1 scale.
