Re: Tamiya Dinos

they go way, way back, early to mid 70's iirc. Back then, that was the school of thought. Of course, in the mid to late 80's, things changed. Tamiya, rightly so, left them alone, figuring enough money and time was sunk into them. The box art, while still wrong, is the best part about them. As a side...

Re: We have a new dog... but there's bad news

What if? What if Ginny KNEW about all these things, and was up front with you and the wife? Would you have said no?
Ginny and her stories no longer matter. Owen is the reason, focus on his needs! I wish you all the best, and will certainly say a prayer!

Re: Shapeways

yet another with 6.. all 72nd scale, all white frosted ultra detail. Go for the best detail you can afford. It will be worth while. Also, do NOT take a paint brush to ultra small models, as it WILL clog the details on the model. And, on my 72nd scale amagrasuar (sp) the detail is phenomenal...

Re: Repliscale alternative?

Hey, guys, not to hijack the topic, but, is there a detailed step by step on how to use this stuff? One of my biggest "I gotta get better" issues is seam lines, most of the time, I wind up destroying wonderfully sculpted detail trying to hide a seam. I'd prolly be better off doing nothing,...

here is the thing- every time you reset to factory settings, it is gonna THROW OUT every windows update you have pulled since the last time, and, then, as soon as it is able, it is gonna pull ALL of them, plus whatever new ones you have waiting (typically, MS patches and updates go on thursdays), so...

Re: Question on my Comic Books

it is hard o say with any certainty anymore. What made comics of value in the past was lack of availability. Almost nobody saved them, therefore, prices for what little was left were high. In YOUR (actually, OUR) age, sadly, MANY of us saved them- therefore- value is diminished if availabilty is hig...

Re: Paid Stupid Money

Having the book, I can tell you I have NOT been impressed. How much? well, I would have also sold it for ten bucks, but, that is water under the bridge. If you had asked me, and, once again, water under the bridge, but I would not pay for it, and take the hit on feedback. The book is at best vague, ...
