Yes they are. 100%

Yes, there was an Eastern European guy who was really decent, but he asked me to wait for Joe to return when I wanted to negotiate on both kits. I wanted the Tupolev, but the Brabazon was a decent price and right up my alley. I had never met or interacted with the guy once before in my life, and i can see why he has employees to deal with the public. Mark, thanks for that, and I’d love to hear his side of the story. If he’s feeling ground down after selling used products for a week at the modeling equivalent of a flea market, he’s in the wrong business. I’m sure he buys collections as cheap as he possibly can, and we’re all entitled to negotiate on used product.

It is what it is. He lost more than my money. He lost other sales, but most of all, he lost the respect of everyone who heard him. In other news I was able to pick up three overtree E-1 sets from Eduard for my 1930s conversions. And as everyone knows, E-1s are getting expensive and hard to find.

Many want to go and say they’ll go to Area 51 but don’t, because their Mothers won’t drive them.

I found one vendor, Joe’s Models, impossible to deal with. At about 1000 Saturday I went over and asked what he’d take on an Amodel Brabazon and Tupolev 114. He actually told me to wait, grabbed new tags and remarked them 30 dollars more each saying it was a mistake and we can negotiate from there. I guess my look of disbelief said it all as he suddenly went off on me and then everyone there. He literally hollered “get out of my booth you fat f0ck” and then then when everyone shopping looked up shocked he said “and -0all the rest of you cheap focking modelers to. I hate you focking modelers.” It was funny if it wasn’t so sad, because the Brabazon was an excellent price.

Good deal! I bought the 1/200 Pontos detail Up set for my Hood and will get the corrected turrets from Shapeways. I’d like to do her on one of her 1930s South Pacific show the flag cruises.

Vegas ain’t for everyone no doubt. But there’s lots to do there

No thanks needed, Carl. That’s why I’m here. But with the 2021 Nats in Vegas, maybe some of our British, European, and Down Under bunch can join us all? Vegas is a place everyone should experience once in a lifetime.

Announced 3122 registered entered models for judging

Also 2022 Nats in Omaha, Nv

Come one, come all!

Uuuuuh boy reread what I wrote and yes, I see what you mean. But I think it’s the sport edition yet I get told it’s just a sub compact.

None received, my friend.

I pulled my model out already as it was “display only”, I was told it was OK to do so.

No kidding. That’s too bad and it truly sucks!

Ryan, meeting you was one of the highlights of my week. I just wish we had more time for all to visit.

Well, the RF-84 is coming....

So Crazypoet printed us up some logos, and we’re GTG. I’ll get mine mounted and framed. Hehehe

I’ll even say the same for these two hoodlums. Glen Coleman and Joe Lortie of Kitty Hawk

Mike Swinburne, Richard Alexander, and Jason McAdam good, good people

So not only are we getting an O/400, we’re also getting the O/100.

Show me some wood!!!!

Yellow wings!!!
