Facebook, when used for good, has its place. Unfortunately, it's often used for evil by curious ex-wives, nosy employers and Big Brother. It try to stay off the grid. I have nothing to hide, but how I live my life is my own business.

As some of you know, I recently returned to the hobby after a five-year leave of absence. And, as astonishing as it may seem, the same Vallejo acrylic paint I was using then is still going strong. No adverse effects at all. It's been stored in a large plastic container in two different...

Might make a nice ice cube tray.

I've had that happen with brand-new bottles of acrylic paint, too. I don't know if being bottled makes a difference. Perhaps, glass is more temperature sensitive than plastic. Who knows where its been or for how long before you purchase it at the store. I've had great success with Vallejo...

You couldn't be as embarrassed as I was after I constructed half a charcoal grill that I thought was gas. "Now, where's that gas hookup? Damn! This is the wrong model." Fortunately, I was able to exchange it for the correct one and they let me return the half-built one the way it was. I had a...

The cover alone makes it very inviting. Thanks

Sayonara update Oct. 13th, 2015 Bob, Remember when they used to call these "miniatures?" Of course, that was back before you got involved. I always enjoy your thematic imagination. No matter what the subject, it's a classic. Thanks. Keep those wheels turning.

Very fine work, indeed. Better hurry, though, I hear there's a few Tigers out there with transmission problems.

Do you use traditional stuffing or salt and vinegar chips? Perhaps, some gummy babies for desert? My aunt and uncle in Toronto used to stock up on those when they knew I was coming for a visit. Happy Holiday!

No. I never recorded the battery-operated armour vs. feline battles. However, I've been meaning to learn how to operate the video function on my camera. Perhaps, I'll try to film the vehicles in motion and then learn how to post them. I have nothing against cats, but I am more of a dog person...

When I was way too young to know better, I bought the original model of the Enterprise, which came equipped with lighting. It was the late 60s and I couldn't have been more that 10 years old. I didn't have a clue about how to make it work, so, it never did. That's when I knew I'd never become an...

I've felt your pain, as well. Even before my eyesight went south, it was always a lesson in futility. I never used half of it. Just removing the parts from the unrelenting sprue was a gut-wrenching proposition. I don't think it's worth it, unless you need it for a desired effect, like battle...

SS Tanker Normandy 1944 Moon Puppy Andy and I would be glad to provide you with some recon, maybe a black op. This is Hillary Clinton's neck of the woods, perhaps her people could help with some server issues?

SS Tanker Normandy 1944 Great. I should be able to make it. Glad it's not in the city.

LOCKHEED PV-1 VENTURA "TWO WINGS AND A TAIL" Awesome detail on the aftermarket. It's gonna look great. I'm always envious of you "Fly Boy" modelers. I recently came across the only attempt I've ever made to build an aircraft. It's a C-47 that's so sad I'm thinking of lighting it on fire and...

SS Tanker Normandy 1944 I love the "pain in the arse cammo." Great job. When's the show? Maybe we can go together? Wait. That didn't come out right. You know what I mean. Let me know.

Great subject I might have leaned toward McHale's Navy, especially after some torpedo juice. Lookin' forward to your build.

Mountain Home, huh By best friend's dad retired there, but he died a few years back. I hear it's a day trip just to get a beer -- or a grape Nehi. Beautiful area, though. Found a good fishin' hole?

Great bench, Duncan Looks like an operating room compared to my cardboard box in front of the couch. Even if I tried a setup like that, I'd misplace something within the first five minutes. Good thing my carpet is basically white. It makes it easier to find the parts that flip out of my hands...

Very interesting. I wonder how they'd look after a Midwestern winter?
