We say that about Arkansas. “An Arkansas Dentist must be one seriously lonely individual”, or “What do you get when you have a stadium full of people in Arkansas? One full set of teeth”.

Great results John. It looks like a Jug to me.

Y’all got on over to Texas. We’ll show y’all a dialect. Yaint beenere yet? Wayell we’re fixinta hayndle thayatt y’all. Love the Scottish elevator.

Been here awhile. All settled in and it’s home now. A real good and decent bunch here, seriously, this place is simply friendly, no bs or dissidents, and those who try get punted. build models, be jolly, have fun. And James has the inside scoop on HK goings on

Ivan the CZ.75 takes one feature from the Sig, an inside the frame slide. That alone makes it so much tighter and more accurate. The design has so many 1911 and Browning Hi Power features, but it’s got the added benefit of 60 years of learned technology since John Moses Browning designed those classics. The Czechoslovaks certainly make good firearms. Not bad with airplanes, either.

Jeroen’s putting on a clinic, as usual. gorgeous!

Gorgeous, Tony. Hard to believe, but I’ve never built a D.Vll yet. Yours gets me thinking....

Agreed there, Martin. The Shadow 2 is a precision instrument. Specialized competition sights, aggressive grips, a really light trigger, and perfect balance for competition. Absolutely useless as a carry piece or fighting tool, but perfect for sanctioned competition. The Czech factory team kicked butt last year with this exact same rig. Hopefully I can get it to our range on the weekend and put some miles on it. I think it’ll make me look good. This is calling your name if you ever get down here...

Me I’ve been on a pistol kick lately. No clue why, but when I was shopping for a target pistol for Joy, I saw a CZ Shadow 2 competition pistol. The sales guy said everyone so far who held one bought one. I’m here to say he wasn’t kidding. :-/ Now I can get back into competitive handgunning. Yeah, another hobby. LOL! stock pic, but this is it. 9mm competition pistol molded perfectly to my hand. It weighs over 3 lbs empty! But that means it’s rock steady on a pistol course. Not exactly a defensive gun. But a very, very good match gun.

Yup. The Breakfast Club personified. Lol

Hahahahahaha. I love it!

I know right. I think you need to know someone to get one. That’s 24k gold in there. I’ll never own one but it’s cool to look. The regular CZ.75 costs about $600.00 lol!

Martin, I’m in love! Truth prevails! I love it. But, I pop my hopes. They only made 100 and apparently they sell for $9000.00 I’m crazy, but not THAT crazy. Joy would kill me.

Hahaha. Good point! But only ‘A Christmas Story’ has: a. A leg lamp b. Dogs stealing the Christmas turkey c. Goofy gifts from grandma d. Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra, ra-ra-ra-ra. e. “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”. f. Toddlers in snowmobile suits g. Washing your mouth out with soap

now I would have said Christmas starts when Ralphie’s buddy Flick sticks his tongue to the pole, but same difference. I triple dog dare ya!

Ivan, judging from your pictures, there are HUGE differences between the two kits. The two seater has none of those latches, and my nose section went together more or less effortlessly. I cut away some of the internal structure to keep potential interference issues at bay, but that’s just my cynical nature at work. So far, I’ve had no real fit issues yet. Fingers crossed.

So sorry to hear that, Tony. I don’t wish my kind of experience on anyone. But I’m glad you’re here as well and let’s enjoy the Christmas Spirit here. I’m so looking forward to being able to draw for these gifts and post the names of the winners. Personally, It’s gonna be my best Christmas ever!

Aaaaaah hahahahahahaaaaaa!

THIS is why I absolutely LOVE this place. We're all adults and can have fun with nobody getting all bent out of shape. Regarding the abovementioned sign. With the website, they should half inserted a "t" after 'half'. One's eyes can really play tricks on an individual....

You’re killing me, Tom. I love this kit and now I had to drag mine out and drool over it! Nice clean job so far. Loving it, every single minute of it.

A 1/72 scale model of a 1/72 scale Fokker Dr.1?

Welcome buddy, welcome. We build much and BS even more. Man I love this place. I’ve built more since coming here than in all the previous years combined.

They use a dolly labeled “explosives” for a nuke? Only in Canada, eh.
