No, that's when a Mayan goddess comes out and screams "Who didn't change the calendar?!?!?! Is it too much to ask...."

Annnnnnndddd....GO!

I think part of the issue isn't so much that there's totally a me first attitude going on as-in the worst of people. It's just that usually in times like these we GATHER in order to help each other and work through it together. When you're told not to gather in groups that takes away a basic human instinct and leads to what appears as selfish behavior. Not saying there isn't some of that going on as well, but I think mostly it's been pretty calm under the circumstances. I've seen worse cases of selfishness at black Friday sales. This has been just weird. Just my 2 cents.

Why does it have to be that only? Could it also be that people are considering a possibility of having to support themselves for a while, be it either the means of supplying their own food sources all the way to protecting themselves from others who are ready to take advantage of a chaotic situation? To just immediately say "ready to go to war" is taking it way into the extreme. Some people just want to know they can do what it takes to get by. Simply that.

Looking AWESOME!!!!

Terry, I am so sorry for your loss. Don't know if you're a religious man but my prayers go out to you and yours in this time of pain. I can not begin to know what you're feeling but can only offer my best to you. Bill

Looks nice. I think I might have prefered they add an interior even if it's fictional as far as size. Hopefully at least the hatch is optional to open.

Biggest risk at this time is the panic.

Congrats. I remember I got top of my class when I took drivers education. But I think it's because he was grading on the curve. badum dum splish....(Sorry, I'm a Dad now so I have to have the Dad jokes on standby)

Looking great as always Pete. Can't wait to see it done. I do have a question about the airlock. I don't think I have access to the original files anyway, so I likely can't fix anything on it at this point, BUT if I were to ever redo the 3D model I'd like it to be better. The original intent was that the 4 pegs would sit in brackets that line up the edges of the payload bay (which at the time I'd try to plan a way of creating those brackets and rails) Do you think it would still be too narrow if the brackets were in place like on the real shuttle? I may never get around to redoing

That is true in some places. We use to have a wonderful mail lady that was awesome. Always waved at the kids and engaged with the neighborhood. That was years ago. Now the normal routine is everyone checking the neighborhood FB page to see who got who's mail. I'd say that out of the maybe 30 homes on our street, a good 5-10 every day have to exchange mail. And they aren't marked wrong, just the mail person mixing up numbers. Don't know if it's laziness, carelessness or eye sight or what. We've complained MANY times as a neighborhood and nothing seems to change. And it's a pretty common issue a

Replace ZF with an "A" and I think you'll get it. Sad that that statement might be aggressive to some. Oh well.

Oh my gosh, THAT is really funny! I know it might not have meant to be funny, but I think it's great!

I didn't say I NEVER posted modeling related. it's just the stuff I posted NEVER got replies. I'd attempted to get some real space happening and some Sci-fi etc...but It was a shadow boxing match so it became pointless. I still don't see how non-related stuff prevents people from enjoying the related stuff. I understand about the "see new threads" feature...but if there were that many people using the other threads...wouldn't that stay up new as well. If it truly were that useful, then it would stand on it's own would it not? The open forum concept is sound. It's just that you have to have the

I understand what you're saying...but I don't see how the o-club section prevents other people from posting in the other sections if they found it useful. I have to admit I rarely posted modeling stuff of my own there because I don't build much aircraft very often and any other genres never seem to gather traction. And yes, I know if you don't post then you can't complain about noone posting. I get that. But I did enjoy reading post from the experts and learning about model making in general. But it slowly died. And I have to admit, I mainly go to see what Junk is up to and complaining about a

Aww comon, we're much more than just one smart@$$....give credit where credit is due.. I admit, I'm WAAAAY guilty of going in and piling on. I don't know if that's a bad thing for me personally or if it's a good thing. I will say that it has helped me re-think my positions on certain things. And I don't mean necessarily change my believes, I think I am what I am..but rather how to converse my point of view and how the "other side" thinks. In some small doses I think that's healthy. BUT annnnyway...no idea what's up with them. I suspect someone forgot to pay the light bi

So am I understanding correctly that the Revell kit actually tells you in the instructions that you have to trim the interior parts in order for them to fit? Did I see that right?

Not to mention, notice the staining under the engine housing on the, I guess KC-10 in the background. Very cool detail there.

Looks great! Keep up the good work.

I think it's very close to D-Day as I understand it, but you'd have to take off the catapult and make some plane carriages for mounting beside the turret. And I think some of the structure on the main mast is slightly different maybe...I'm not completely up to all of the differences though.

I've been dipping my toes a bit into ship building as well and I am currently working on the Trumpeter 1/350 scale U.S.S. Texas. I think it's a great kit for someone new to the field. It's loaded with detail and fits really well with only a few little kinks here and there. It also comes with 4 sheets of photoetch that covers pretty much most of the main things you'd want to buy aftermarket anyway so it's a good bang for your buck model. I think the Texas is harder to find, but it was also boxed as the New York with slight differences and is equally a nice kit. An example of the photoetch detai

ahhh....is that who that was? Kind of seemed familiar but didn't put that together. Honestly, I don't like it when anyone gets banned. I'm against it but understand the thought behind the practice. It is what it is. Bill

oh WOW! I see it now. Those wings are WAAAAY too short and not even close to the right shape. It's hard to tell from some angles but these pictures clear it up. (what? oh we're not talking about the wings?) OH, well then....nevermind. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Not at all; might go check your semantics. You meant to type sharp instead of shape. That's not spelling but a typo. Wow, you two are worse than my 10 & 12 year old daughters. Are you sure you guys aren't married or something? Geeez... A subject similar to this came up a little while back and I'd thought about trying the even slightly more realistic method of drawing panel lines on with a fine lead pencil. I think doing that approach correctly could yield some great results, I just haven't tried it yet. But the good thing is, you could try it and it's not to your lik
