  1. I sure feel for the folks having to deal with that mess. I have some experience with it (though not as extreme as this!) back in 1980 when Mt. St. Helens blew in Washington State. I was 11 years old and remember it well. We were far enough east to avoid the worst of it, but it went blacker than night at noon, and dropped about 4 inches of ash and pulverized pumice on us, and the whole world smelled like sulfur. It took weeks to get it off of, and out of, stuff enough to get back to normal. I can't imagine dealing with a METER or more of it, holy cow! That 4 inches of ash is still noticable in our lives 41 years later, in odd little places like the crevices in roof shingles, siding, old cars, etc. The building I work in everyday was being built about that time, and whenever the wind blows hard, the wood shake roof above my desk will vibrate just enough to sift trapped sand leftover from the ash down past the rafters and beam above me and rain a little bit of fine sand on my desk. I have to sweep it off every now and then and remember that day. The lives of these poor folks on La Palma will never be quite the same.
  2. Glad to see you, my friend! Sorry for such a run of crap. God Bless!
  3. That's how I like my tanks - no interior. I love tanks, I just don't have the patience to build something I can't see. I have a Tamiya M4 Easy 8 half built, and a Dragon Early Tiger I, but can't seem to get back to them. I look forward to seeing this one come together, as I have not done an RFM kit yet. That Panther kit you have for sale is very tempting. Tim
  4. I couldn't give a hoot in hell about any of them. Or that kit. Just my .02.
  5. That's good, you saved your soul!!
  6. (shudder)...you said 48. That's a little too close to scale blasphemy for me.
  7. I reckon that's a question for Ernie(Clunkmeister), since he always heads it up.
  8. "Cardiac rehab" is mostly just plain old aerobic exercise, my friend! You'll be feeling better in no time.
  9. Ho-lee-chit. I wish that was closer to me!
  10. Wishing you the best, and a total recovery, my friend.
  11. Helluva birthday present, huh?
  12. I'm good, I booked at one of the hotels across the street.
  13. Well dang. I missed out.
  14. Sounds like you need to have a few fellers over to help you with that problem, there, Carl!!
  15. This is actually at the top of my list for budget bourbon, buddy!!
  16. Yum. I just ordered a bottle of Balcones Brimstone from Texas. Been wanting to try it for a while now!!
  17. I have an Anycubic Photon resin printer that I like a lot, and I use Autodesk Fusion 360 to create the files needed to print. The printer itself and the slicing software that comes with are easy to use, learning Fusion 360 is much harder. Very possible though, if you have any experience with 3D modeling software.
  18. Very interesting! most of those planes are not really sphere of influence, but might be worth a look anyway.
  19. You can always leave them to me if you want to. To hell with family. 😁
  20. Hubert, Would you happen to know why they chose these particular kits to re-pop? Are they the ones that are the hardest to find original issues of? Tim
