yea, just last week I started trying to organize the ammo fort. Stashed away 3500 rds. of 9mm, lost track of how much .30-06 I packed in cans (Cabela’s had a deal for 6 .50 cal cans for $52 shipped) I thought I was going to have left over cans. Nope, gotta get more. Probably 1k 5.56, 500 rds of 7.62X39, lost track of my .308 too. I’ve got ammo can trays on order and I’m heading over to Harbor Freight tomorrow for furniture dolly's to be able to move them around. Hoping I can make room to set up the old reloading bench in the man cave. Unfortunately the wife has to have her mark on the territory as well and there’s a useless old antique buffet taking up one wall. The safe is just to the left of the big black ammo cabinet the can is sitting on.

This is my case that started me down the path I built these for my die cast car collection

Very nice Kevin! I got into woodworking when I built my display case for my models. Started out with some basic tools, now have a Jet 14” bandsaw, jointer, planer, better contractor size table saw, track saw and lots of others. I keep my tools on the bench top size except my bandsaw and drill press. It’s been a whirlwind 8 months since buying our new home and there has been no time for models or any woodworking outside of necessary projects for the home. I’m hoping by this time next year I’ll be back at both full swing.

Ernie, that's horrible. I lost Mom a year ago this past September. She was in assisted living for almost 3 years and then into a nursing home from Jan to Sept. Although she was bed ridden, she also suffered from lung issues where she could not clear her body of CO2. She was always hallucinating and coming up with stories that would have been believable if she wasn't bed ridden. I will say though, her care wasn't as horrific as your Mothers. Glad to see you're back.

Yep, 24’ with a Mercury 150 four stroke. It’s a 2019. The couple bought it new in July of ‘19 to pull the grandkids and now they relocated to DC. Might have 60 hours time on it. We paid about $4000 less than the same model I’ve seen for sale on line.

Not model related, but looks like I picked up something else today.

Thinking about it, but the original studio model was never lit and the thick resin makes it a little difficult.

Just got this one in the mail. Not my pics, but stole these off the web. It’s the 1/350 Klingon D-7

Agreed. I gave up painting cars back in the day because my ability to mix and match paint sucked. I stuck with the body work end of the business a few more years before I got out entirely.

😱 get well Harv!

Is the Trumpeter kit really that bad? Is it the shape or rivets over done? Or both? I’ve got the kit, never opened it up.

Had some old friends come visit the new house last month. The husband brought me a bottle of Buffalo Trace. I managed to get a glass that night to try it out. Glad I did as he managed to almost finish off the bottle he brought me! He left me one more sample in the bottle for Sunday afternoon. Stopped at the red dot store on my way home last Friday. Got more of my Scotch, but they were all out of Buffalo Trace.

Happy Birthday (apparently early!) At 71 years young, you've earned it! But your birthday is on Halloween? Awesome. Cake & Ice cream and candy all on the same day!! I remember when I was a kid we use to have a Honda 50 Monkey. I would tear up the neighborhood with that thing. One year we went of a vacation to the beach and we got to ride some three wheeler go-carts around a track. I kept trying to lean that thing like I did with the Monkey and kept running into the tires along the edge of the track. Fun times! Hope you have better luck transitioning to 3 wheels than I did.

Looks like it needs another part as well! I'm actually in the market for a pontoon right now. But I'm finding that the boat market is like the used car market right now.

So Clunk, this kit still in the box?

Love the Lugers. Always wanted to get one. I should quit putting it off. My WWII stuff is an M1 Garand, M1 carbine and 2 WWII 1911’s.

Forgot to follow up with the can after it got out of jail

Come in Harv, haven’t mastered the art of building while laying in bed? I kid! Hope you get relief soon.

Nice conversation kit. Often wondered why Gary didn’t just make an entire new part. Now that the build has some age on it, there is some shrinkage on the seam. In the right lighting it can be seen.

I still have 13 phantoms in my stash, only built 3 so far. One was a B conversion using GT Resin and Zotz decals and Rhino intakes. I have about $350 wrapped up in that one.

Grumman Duck, oh please please please…..

Well said Clunk! I was only 8 years old and a neighbor worked at a local Ford dealership. His demo car was a gold ‘70 Boss 302. I was hooked for life. couple of guys in the Navy down the street drove nice cars. One was a ‘70 Roadrunner with the air grabber hood. Yea, that reeled me in.

LOL! I never noticed her spelling issues since I’m so use to it. She’s a bad speller!

Y’all gonna love this…… text from the wife today.

Shhhhh! My wife thinks its her she shed/cave. I let her throw up a few Clemson items and BAM! It's all "hers" now.
