Great to be back! Thanks for all of the hard work you went through to resolve the issue.

Thanks for posting this Don. I really enjoyed the read.

I built the Lindberg kit when I was a kid. It was quick and easy to build and gave me many hours of happiness running the motorized model in our swimming pool. Detail, not much of that. I would recommend the Revell or Tamiya kits.

I have been away from both the hobby and ARC for sometime now. I just came across this very sad news. I never really had the opportunity to meet Rick but I was a huge fan of his work. Browsing through the internet 15 or 16 years ago brought me to ARC and Rick's builds of Canadian subjects. Viewing his work inspired me to get back into this hobby that I enjoyed so much when I was younger. Thanks Rick for the inspiration. You will be sadly missed by so many you inspired. My condolences to his family and good friends. Rob

I to am guilty of not posting very often. I truly love the hobby as well as this forum. Unfortunately, that darn work thing keeps getting in the way of building.

Those all bring back some childhood memories. :lol: As a parent I have un-controllably blurted out a few of those to my kids. Worst part was, I could never keep a straight face!

Geeze, I'm really sorry to hear about your misfortunes Jennings. That is more than one can handle. I wish you all the best in the New Year!

Many of the team Canada players could have played much better than they did. I guess we'll have to wait until next year when the tournament will be held in Montreal. I'll watch the Gold medal game but I really don't have a favorite. It should be a really good game based on the play of both teams throughout the tournament.

When I was a kid my dad would bring home a model to help pass the time when I was home sick from school. That gave me the modelling bug which I carried into my teens. Occasionally I would buy myself a model when I was in my early 20s but got right back into it in my early 30s. Getting married and having kids modelling gave me something enjoyable to do instead of going out all the time. I love the hobby and tried to pass it on to my kids but no luck. Maybe it'll be something they will come back to at one point in their lives.

I made a point of getting up early to watch the game. Doesn't look good Canada.

Wow, that is one fast build!! Sure came out nice. Great job!

This was on the TSN website. The International Ice Hockey Federation will conduct a disciplinary hearing with Sweden's Jesper Pettersson on Sunday morning at 8:30am local time (2:30am ET).

The Finns played a great game against Canada. (Full Credit for their effort) I do think Canada played a flat game though. As already mentioned the Finns shut Canada's offense down completely with a well executed game plan and discipline. I'm looking forward to watching both medal games now. It might be a little tough for me to be up watching at 6 am though. :wacko:

Great start Ian. The scribing work you have done looks very clean.

Agreed!
