Oh yea, no illegal drugs, so I'll have to take LSP.

Whoops, I forgot about gun control. I'd have to be humanely euthanized.

Stephen, I'm not a sissy boy. I was actually what Arnold SchwarzenF...er and What's His Face in Rambo only pretended to be in the movies, and I'd give you a big sloppy one anytime. Of course I'd have to get stoned first, and shot afterwards.

If I put on Chanel #5, all I get is Fox News. For all you feriners it's our GOP news.

If you collapse on a hill and drop your piece, would that be called, "Weathering Heights?"

But, but in California, just 30 minutes north of San Francisco, more like 2 hours depending on what time you're driving. But where can I find one of those things you call a basement? All we have are crawl spaces. When you paint a piece, have on a pair of running shoes and hold up the piece while you run to help it dry. If you collapse and drop the piece, you could call it weathering.

You actually have room for that monster? I was watching one take off during Vietnam and thought, "Put enough power to anything, and you could make it fly." then I watched the one crash on YouTube at an airshow and thought, "Hmm, maybe not." This pilot kept flying the thing with it's wings perpendicular to the ground until it just slide slipped into it. Stupid idea, well he won't make that mistake again, unless they have B-52s in the afterlife. Of course God's going to have to teach him about lift.

Gray Matter Figures makes both types of Trop. Scoops. I have two regular V-5s so I' m getting both scoops. Yesterday I saw a nice looking Hase with an Aboucor scope on the sale shelf, but I have enough Mk 1s, lls, Vs, and Vls, to justify buying, no matter what price.

Good, I see you're taken care of. I have two Hase F6F Kitty Cats from he'll. I could have mailed you a set.

An old saying, "Just get a bigger hammer."

I stuck it in my plastic/resin pit.

I prefer using glue. My rivet lines would look squiggly.

That is especially good news to me, since that means some after market is going to come out with a resin cockpit I can put in my Doyusha George, which, like their Frank, had none.

Just make sure, if you are going to leave any panels open, do not display any armament. Rockets and/or bombs were added after all maintenance had been completed. If the pilot finds a problem before heading for take off, the plane's rockets and / or bombs were removed before any mechanics started working on it.

Of course I'm no F4J, but I'm no expert either.

I'm no F4J, but it sure looks good next to the Tamtam F-14.

Peanut butter and jelly?

Beaver tail or bear grease.

In the ward you only had a bed, no sink or toilet. Not like my prison cell. After breakfast therapists would conduct games for those interested in participating. My favorite was an acting session. So Stephen you may call yourself crazy and perhaps you are, but I am certified nuts.

I consider a successful modeler as someone who was able to trick the doctors in releasing him or her from the psycho ward.

I consider a successful model as one that doesn't end up in the trash.

I should point out that watching those ultra-lights fly was as much fun as watching dandelions grow. Only with dandelion you could make wine out of the flowers. With the Tibetan Monks still in Tibet, we only had the wine to make us relaxed enough not to get bored to death. Too bad the 60s hadn't arrived yet. It would have been a trip to watch these thing under the influence of LSD, no not LSP, that's a different trip.

I remember those ultra light planes, Stephen talks about. The wing frame was dipped in a plastic, not unlike soap bubbles, except it hardened. This included the propeller frame. They could only be flown indoors, and they were so light, that sunshine coming through a window could send them out of control. Any one in the room was not supposed to make any sudden moves. The prop took about 5 seconds per revelution. It seemed as though they flew for hours.

I used to have my Allies on one side of the white line of a ping pong table. The Axis, both Japanese and German on the other. It was required to fly around the furnace to get from one side to the other. I would then take off with the enemy plane with the other hand. A previous flip of a coin determined who'd win. As far as kids today, including us, do it on computer.

My bad, old timer's disease.
