I want to be a cowboy, or an astronaut. Maybe a cowboy-astronaut. Sadly there isn't much call for either in the U.S. right now.

Well said Styles . But I really don't have a problem with political posts in this sub-forum. If you don't like a post just ignore it. The only types of posts I won't tolerate are the obvious ones: foul language, spam, links to porn, ad hominem personal attacks, threats of violence, illegal activiti...

The watch and the ring are wrong, and TM never wore a necklace.

Whew! I was worried I was the problem.

Made a couple of photo quotes for facebook tonight. http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s320x320/577804_437106769637360_100000141220589_1863979_1891768920_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s320x320/576707_437107302970640_100000141220589_1863983_728014017_n.jpg http://a1.sphot...

Definately the Vanagon would be a great addition. And from what I've seen of the model kits relating to MPI, it's the most accurate. The TC's chopper is completely wrong, and the Ferrari is loaded with mistakes.

That's awsome! Very detailed work, right down to license plates and stuff! I especially like your Fall Guy and S&S trucks - two other shows I used to follow back in those days. You must have quite a showroom! Thanks a lot. I never had a Magnum vehicle. The Ferrari would be an obvious one to model, ...

I've done it a time or two.

Nah, I was looking for a good model 500D. I search every so often for one I can build or repaint in the Island Hoppers scheme.

Typed Hughes MD500 into Ebay search.

Yeah, it was my fault. I saved the picture and didn't save the link to the auction. I thought I had as I was curious how much it was going to sell for.

Sorry, I've been on the road since posting. I believe it was around $450 when I found it. . The auction ended while I was gone, and now I can't find it to see what it finally went for.

Somehow I can't help but think TC is somewhere frantically searching for his chopper door.
No, the seller is not Jim Bonnick.

Would love to hear Frank Reagan, or Jesse Stone for that matter give a huge TM style giggle like in "Distant Reletive".
