  1. Thanks everyone! She sitting in her recliner next to me right now. Pulled through with much success and came home this morning. The exciting part is all markers and gland biopsies came back negative!
  2. Poor Harv, he’s had to take quite a few bites from that poo sandwich lately. 🙁 prayers sent my old buddy!
  3. We have paint! I just need to do some research on the paint separation between top and bottom color. Hard line or soft line.
  4. Peter, procedure is happening right now as I type this out. I’m in the waiting room doing my part. You would have thought a celebrity was here with all her coworkers stopping by to wish her the best.
  5. Hey Peter, My “big gun” airbrush is the Grex Tritium with the fan nozzle. It can blast some paint for an airbrush! I should be good to go. I opted out for the spray can of primer because I’ve had it on hand a few years and didn’t feel like swapping over airbrush’s yet. My regular work airbrush is the Iwata HP-CS. And still trying to figure out how to make the model fit in the paint booth!
  6. Looks good Scott. Everyone loves the Tomcat! Me? It’s a love/hate relationship.
  7. Just an update. 8 am surgery in the morning. She opted for the double mastectomy just to get out all the breast tissue and to have a more balanced reconstruction when all is done. She pushed this through today using her hospital clout and contacts. Remind me to never piss her off. She has connections!
  8. I think I’m going to nominate you “pot stirrer of the year” Or maybe “drug dealer of the year” making sure everyone gets another fix when they least expect it. Reminds me of the Huey Lewis song “I need a new drug”.
  9. Antennas on the bottom are fragile as can be. One was broken on the sprue. I bent some up out of 22 ga wire.
  10. That’s a lot of primer! I opted out of airbrushing and went for the Tamiya rattle can.
  11. Today my wife made it back to work after her skiing injury. Thought I’d take advantage of the alone time before she’s off again for the cancer surgery. I completed the taping the other day and today I sprayed the RLM02 on the window frames and then shot primer on the bottom. I’ve got 2 or 3 rough spots to correct and then I’ll move on to priming the rest. I have a few details like antenna I need to add, but I’ve got to be very careful how I place the model after that. Trying to wait until the absolute last minute for these details.
  12. Weathering pencils. Hmmm….I should add those to my arsenal of build tools.
  13. Hey Peter, just a slightly used Tomcat box used to ship the Cutlass. I’m thinking the Cutlass may push back the Me 262 and Stuka I was going to do next. It’s starting to look like it’s going to be a slow build year with the wife’s health issues going on, so I might as well make it quality time for a unique build.
  14. Had another slide in under the radar today! I’ve learned to shut off all the ring doorbell notifications when I’m expecting a package. LOL! But what’s this? An F-14 Tom? Is this a short Tomcat? Well, from the front it resembles a Tomcat! Oh man…all that resin goodness! Cannot wait to start this ugly ass gutless Cutlass beauty! A big thanks to Carl for thinking of me when he decided to liquidate it from his collection.
  15. Welcome! A few of us are into Sci Fi as well. Check out the old “wet” group build for my “Science Fusion” build with Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’s Seaview and the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues. You’ll fit right in!
  16. No pics, but got home from taking the wife for another biopsy and a Revell 1/32 Messerschmitt Me-262B-1/U1 I ordered was sitting there up on the porch. All I could think was “Oh man, I’m busted. Caught red handed.” As we pull in the driveway she tells me she’s going to catch a nap in the car. Go on in without her. Yes!
  17. Wait!? Isn’t that a Bullitt edition? And you want to ditch the Bullitt wheels? 😱 Maybe staggering Bullitt wheels? Nevermind. Just looked at American Muscle. Doesn’t seem that they set up 2005-2009 with staggered fit wheels. My ‘95 had staggered 17” FR500 wheels. I loved the look of those.
  18. On my old ‘95 GT I used Eibach springs and on my ‘15 I’m running Steeda progressives. I’m very happy with both. Just did the 1” drop and no more.
  19. Both. 🤪 Carl, you just have “Squirrel!!” issues. I honestly thought you would have been done by now.
  20. Benchmark Abrasives has felt polishing flap wheels you can put on that grinder. Those and a little polishing compound and you’ll be the hit of the corral!
  21. Impressive builds there. Now get busy on that Fisher Sea Fury!
  22. I like light beers. Since the Bud Light debacle, I discovered Yuengling Light and Flight. It’s all I buy now. use to love a stout beer in my younger days, I guess old age does funny things.
