Well, since last night was dark and stormy here, I actually worked downstairs for a couple of hours. I had previously dunked my 1/100 F-4 snapper in paint cleaner and now it got the putty re-applied. Working with a new tube of Squadron Green was refreshing after working the last year or so with that constipated tube of White. I also performed the same task on the second F-4 and attached a couple of bombs on the Skyraider's underwing racks. Interwoven with that was detailing the interior of my '70 Challenger kit. This was one of R-M's die-cast kits (just the body) and little needs to be done to the body. The 440 was de-rated to a 383 with parts fron a Lindberg '64 Dodge 330 kit. Beyond that I have an old Aurora F3D in the stripper at the moment. Once out and cleaned up, it will have the markings filled in and the projected colour scheme is for one operating over Korea at night, ie. black with red lettering. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr.

The fine was "$1,000 Canadian, or about, oh, $10 US."

We won't in a few months, after the North American Union issues the Amero and replaced the dollar ($), the dollar (CN) and the peso. That is, if Ron Paul is to be believed (and personally, I wouldn't put it past them, NAFTA has totally destroyed the upstate New York area; that and having Hillarity for a Senator 8-(> )

NOT an alien sirrah (although she loves having them come in and mow her lawn)! She is, as was described 142 years ago, a carpetbagger! She isn't the first political hack to move here with the sole objective of running for public office and not our charming winters, and unless the voters of this state wake up and DO something about it, she won't be the last....

I mean, just her ego requires its own zip code... : : She isn't the first political hack to move here with the sole : objective of running for public office and not our charming winters, : I don't have any problems with white snow. Now, brown, gray, grey, black, yellow, etc. snow, and slush, yeah, I got problems with that. : : and unless the voters of this state wake up and DO something about it, : she won't be the last.... : Yep, residency requirements would end your alien representation problems. Of course, blowing all of the bridges and tunnels to the islands and waving a fond adieu would probably get you the same thing. I though that was the best part to "I Am Legend", even if using missles was utterly stupid. After all, some carefully placed C4 would be cheaper and cleaner. Well, I guess the Hudson is so bad there, it really did not matter.
