Wish I could be working on some really neat model but here I am "weathering" [swg] the garage; future home for my RR.

Fall is in the air
Plus a friend brought his grand kids over

Its always time to share the hobby.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Nice photos folks.
I would love to have that Walthers factory on 1:29th scale.
Aggro Jones, You need to do some cars in Largescale, I am always impressed.
I'd like to sit through a clinic with you.[:p]


I would if I had some large scale cars to do. Then I could get even more intricate over the huge working surfaces.

I love to look at the pictures on week end photo fun. But I wonder why some people keep posting the same pictures over and over. There must be some reason.

Some people quote a person before responding. In the case of Aggro's weathering, that means his photos appear quite often.

I think that this practice of quoting photos is an incredible waste of bandwidth. When you quote someone, delete the pictures. IF not you are virtually eliminating people with dial up from seeing many of the pictures. Not that I don't like Aggro's work, but his series of multiple pictures does not have to grace every page a couple times.

Two possible reasons:
(1) When somebody does a "quote" response, they quote the original poster's ENTIRE response (including the embedded images); or
(2) Some people use a regular-sized photo as part of their signature so it always [re-]appears.

If I quote some one I just right click over the words and copy, then paste into my reply.
