SPA Modeler

I am so glad to read this post, Stuart. :grin: Just like yourself, I've had several really good kits stashed away that I had heard so much about or had seen online, as you mentioned, that looked so great, I felt I just couldn't do the kit justice. The Tamiya Tomcat is one and the Hasegawa Raptor is ...

I agree! You're almost completely healed up; good on ya, Mike!

That is most impressive, Mark! Wow, what an amazing collection you have there!

Me too.

Good for you, Mike! I know you're ready for the bench! I got my first stiches, three of them on my right thumb, the day before JFK's funeral.

Hell, you'll soon be back at it so just relax and kick back for a day or two! :wink: :grin: Meanwhile, listen to ol' Slim Hand sing about it :grin: : https...

It would've been quite the experience to have listened in that room, on that system. I've lost so much of my hearing in my left ear, that I wouldn't get the full effect, I'm sure.
