Mark! Apologies for my tardy reply, the lack of prompts is affecting my returned messages. I don’t mean to use this as an excuse. I want to thank you. One of the first amazingly well done was your version of derringers I believe. Correct me?

No worries Bruce. I'm also very late in finding new posts and replies to Threads I'm watching due to the broken notification system.
Actually I did a replica of a Colt '45 Peacemaker pistol from Life Like Models some time back. It didn't turn ou a swell as I;d hoped, but I'm happy with it. I do believe I have a kit of dueling pistols in the stash too.
I'm looking forward to seeing more. I'm always thrilled to watch your work.

Mark!

Apologies for my grammar, as well. It’s been a tough week. Painted Kong’s base rocks two days ago and I’m still not satisfied with the dark grey glazes I chose. I started doing some research—

Re: Aurora 1/25 King Kong (1933) Resin Upgrade: Kong’s Head
Oh man. I remember watching the original King Kong movie. I've seen the remake too. But..... there is one movie that made ZERO sense. Godzilla vs King Kong. Think for a minute. Both movies King Kong climbed the Empire State Building, gets shot down by aircraft bullets, falls to the ground with a thud, dead.
Now Godzilla is five times larger than ol' King Kong. Since when did King Kong get a grown spurt the same size as Godzilla - who is known for trampling through cities and towers over tall buildings?
