  1. Just snagged this little beauty. My son and wife picked her up at the airport today
  2. I purchased the artwork on the right side off eBay in maybe 2007
  3. I am going to post this because I know it won't end up in my collection but this piece really hits me. The time was 1972 my 9yr old brother and an 8yr old me went to see this movie in Petersburg, IN. The local theater was one block from my grandma's house. We walk to see it. The guy selling tickets gave us a real hard time about seeing it but let us in. I was traumatized by the movie. The Santa Claus story was the most disturbing. I had nightmares for several days afterwards. Good times, good times.
  4. When I started doing the monster kits you didn't see the long boxes very often. I built the 1970s square box kits. First kit I got was the Forgotten Prisoner. My oldest brother helped me build it. Back then if I had 2 different colors of tester paint I was doing good and my painting only lasted one day because I didn't have turpentine to clean the brush.
  5. I have seen them from time to time on eBay and they go for crazy money. As a kid I had all the t-shirts that you had to order.
  6. Great story. Definitely can see where your model kit passion comes from.
  7. I don't know, that one is pretty good.
  8. I think how it works really depends on the company and industry. Other people at the same levels me have only a marginal idea what their people do.
  9. I manage over 100 people but still do design work. It is more challenging because of all the interruptions but I do it so I understand peoples challenges and issues better.
  10. I was just posting it so people knew what the card 11 image looked like.
  11. I am getting close to hitting 60. Came from a very poor family but went to college majoring in engineering. At this point my salary has gone up over 100x since I graduated which affords me more discretionary spending.
  12. Or you could try my business model, I’m a reverse stripper. I come out naked and the ladies pay me to put my clothes on.
